WHEN the big strike among the
packeries was first inaugurated, the
boast was made by the strikers
that the strike could be continued
for at least twelve or fifteen months.
Already the report comes from
Chicago that many of the striking
force are in absolute want, and
that pride alone is keeping many
more silent. for fear public SYM
pathy will divert to the packing

r. r. BUTLER CASE KEMANDEO.
Supreme Court Over Rules Lower
Court in Embezzlement Suit.

In the Supreme Court decisions
handed down at Nashville Thursday
was an opinion on the case of the State
against r. r. Butler, of Maury
County, for embezzlement. The court
reversed and remanded the case for a
new trial Butler it will be remem.
bered. was clerk at the Racket Store.
and was arrested on a charge of mis-
appropriating moneys which he took
in on sales of goods. In the trial last
fall in the Gil Court he was SEN
fenced to five years in the penitentiary
and an appeal TO the Supreme Court
was taken, with the above result.
The decision of the court means a
virtual acquittal of Butler Under
the law on embezzlement, if the guilty
party pleads not guilty and tenders the
money illegally taken back to the EN-
ployer, 1T is good defense. Judge
on the trial of the case,
the jury that this law applied
only to public officials, and did not
apply to private transactions, and the
jury under his charge, returned YER
dict of guilty. The Supreme Court
decision, however, is that tender of
the money applies to private individ-
nails, as well as public officers. The
ease will probably be mol pressed, as
Butler did tender the money back to
his employer-all that he claimed was
taken, and all that was proved to have
been taken, with the explanation that
IN the rush of the day. he forgot to
urn the money in.

DR.. HALEY stated that because of the
