s. Officiating to ballots, emblems
to be put over party columns. Senator
Robinson of Grand Isle opposed the bill,
thinking it unnecessary as every man
who can read, can have no trouble in
voting. Senator Lawrence of Addison
explained that the very reason for the
bill is to help the man who cannot read
and is too proud to ask assistance from
the assisting clerks. Senator Lord fav-
ored the bill because it would help many
voters to vote as they pleased in secret,
and called attention to the fact that an
educational test is not required in this
State but that we have manhood suff-
rage. Senator Fowler of Bennington
and Senator Fish of Windsor, both fav-
ored the bill. On motion of Senator
Lawrence amended by inserting an "em-
blem Of in lines 4, 5, 6 before "eagle,"
'star" and "lamb' respectively.

Great Butchers Strike
Has Collapsed
ACTION LAST EVENING
Executive Board Of United Butchers
Workmen Gave Order, Fol-
lowed By Others.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-The action Of the
executive board Of the United Butchers
Norkmen last night in ordering its
members back 10 work was followed by
the strike committees Of the other
trades involved taking the same action.
The strike which had been on for two
months, was officially declared of by
President Michael j. Donnelly of the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen Of America. Donnelly re-
ceiyed permission from the executive
committee. When the packers were
notified tonight that il had been decided
to end the strike they announced that
they would give places as far as pos
sible to the same skilled men but it was
stated at the sametiIne thar many OF
these men wwoulld be unable to secure
their their old places as IN many cases
the work was being performed in a sat
isfactory manner by men who had been
secured since the commencement of the
strike. 1t IL expected that the majority
Of the unskilIed men will be unable to
secure their places again. II was a ques-
tion of a wage scale for this class OF men
that brought about the strike, the pack
ers refusing to sign an agreement with
any class other than skilled workmen.
During the strike approximately 3d.
900 persons have been involved, and the
struggle is estimated to have cost the
men about $5,100,OOO in wages as
against an estimated loss of $T,500,000
70 the packers in loss Of business and
increased expenses. The greatest mum
Der Of men idle in Chicago during the
strike was 10000 and the total in the
country outside Of this city Is estimated
to be about the same.
The original cause Of the strike was q
demand BY the butchers union that the
packers pay to the unskilled workmen
1919 cents an hour The packers re-
fused to sign an agreement, but offered
to arbitTate the question. This was ac-
oepted, tile strikers agreeing to return
to work pending the decision Of the ar
bitrators. The men, however, were dis
satisfied with the manner in which they
were being put To work and declared
that they would not return unless all Of
the men we're given their old places in
one day. The packers declaring that
this was physically impossible, the men
went on strike Tor the second time.
The men now return To work under
the conditions that existed before the
