Every housekeeper should know
that il they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in A-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
12-oz. package it is because he has
Q stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance Of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

NEW, YORK, July 1S.-Henry G..
Davis, of West Virginia, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Vice President,
who arrived in this city last night,
is holding important political confer
ences to-day with wm. F. Sheehan,
David B. Hill, ex-senator Murphy,
August Belmont, National Committee
man Head, of Tennessee, and several
other prominent politicians.
It is expected that Senator German,
of Maryland, may run over from his
home in Laurel, Md, to take part in
the conference.
Several reports will be made on the
situation in New York, Illinois, In
diana and Wisconsin, where the Dem
ocratic party will make its greatest
fight.
There has been much discussion
about the craftsmanship of, the Nation
al committee. When Mr.. Davis was
asked il it would be Senator German.
he replied: There certainly has
never been time when Senator Cor
man could not have it; if he wanted
it,
Thomas Taggart, of Indiapanolis,
is the most pronounced candidate for
the chairmanship, and his friends are
using their best influences in the
East TO bring about his selection
Mr.. Davis purposes visit to ESQ
pus tomorrow to meet Judge Parker,
and it is well within the range of
political probabilities that the heads
of the ticket will indicate their
choice for the craftsmanship.

conditions tosa peaceful settlements of
the di imcuIties between employers and
SeInpIoyes having an added grimness
sof defermin ton openly expressed by

between the packers and President
DonnelIY Saturday afternoon to reach
basis of settlement, the situation
resolves itself to-day apparently into
long continuous and bitter5struggle.
:5 The Butchers Union conceded all
the points proposed to- reach an arbi-
ztratieu plane with the exception of
one. namely, the re-employment pend
ing nsgotfati Of all strikers. This
the packers absolutely refused to en-

and went into consultation with the

CHICAGO, July 1S.-Continuation
of blistering hot weather was the fore
cast sent out to-day by the weather
bureau. The hot wave although ac-
companied by southwest winds, does
not come from that section of the

gradually spreading eastward His

not yet identified, had been lying on
the dock. evidently suffering greatly
from the heat.

THEY WILL HAVE THE PRoTEc-

THE EMPLOYMENT OF
NON-UNION MEN.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, July 1S.-At 10
o'clock last night, Judge Holder, of
the ST Clair coupty,,Circu Court,
at Bellevue, issued a sweeping in
junction directed against the striking
butchers in the packing houses at
East st. Louis 1t restrains them
from in any way interfering with the
operation of the plants or with non
union men hired to take the places OF
the employees who walked out. Every
member of union connected with
the packing house trades is brought
within the scope of the Injunction, al
though but two persons are specifi-
cally named. They are P. Moran and
John Smith, union leaders and organ
izers among the butchers.
The writ was applied for last night
by the managers of the Armour, Swift
and Nelson Morris companies.
President Donnelly addressed the
strikers at East ST Louis yesterday
and counseled them above all TO keep
the peace. Obey the law. he reiter-
ated again and again.
Sheriff Thompson secured service
on several strikers leaders and mem
bers of the union against whom the
Injunction was directed Monday
morning. This action came as a sur
prise to the strikers, who realize that
until other action is taken, the pack
ing houses have the protection of the
courts in the employment of nom
union operatives. Just what move
will be taken by the strikers to cir
cumyent this procedure on the part
of the packers is not known. The
packers are operating with partial
forces, having secured men Saturday
and Sunday whom, it is reported, are
being housed and fed at the plants
on both sides of the river.

PULLMAN CAR WORKS SHUT DOWN.
All the Seven Thousand Employees Idle-TOO
High Wages Paid, Company Says.

chicago, Sept. 1.-THE immense Pullman Car
Works at Pullman were shut down to-day, and
practically every OF the company's seven thou
Sara employees was idle, The worlmen were told
10 take their tools with them when they left the
works, and from this they infer that considerable
period OF idleness cOnfrOnts them.
The closing OF TIE big car works at the Model
City eliminated wnen the fifteen hundred workers
IN the repair department laid off. That had
been the only branch OF the plant in operation for
come time, and its closing left not than one
hundred men al wOTk-juEt enough 10 put the nm
ishing touches what little work remained on
hand ana 10 keep the many buildings in condition.
About nve-siKths OF the Pullman employees are
members OF unions. The plant has been operated on
the open shop basis, however, ever since the 1894
strike, when the union defeated Union
scale wages have been paid by the company and
there has been complete satisfaction this score.
Complaints were made by the company, Il Is said
that high wages brought about the closing OF the
works. inasmuch these wages were claimed 20
be IA excess OF the scales Ia efeot other plants
OF the country. The shutdown OF the works mas
been gradual IN the last three weeks, two or three
departments being closed a time.
