BUTCHERS in THE FIGHT

Cincinnati, Aug. o.-The annual con-
vention of the International Brother
hood of Teamsters which has been in
session here for ten days, adjourned yes
|terday afternoon after the installation
|of officers, to meet next year in Phila-

President Cornelius P. Shea said:
This has been the most important
convention in the history of the team
|sters' organization and we have done
more to uplift our members than at any
time before We are going to help the
butcher workmen win the packing house
strike or 60 broke. &.
The convention today after endorsing
the action of its unions at Chicago, St.
Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph,
where the teamsters have ordered sym
pathetic strikes, adopted a resolution OF
general application .pledging moral and
financial support to all teansters who
have or who may hereafter strike in
sympathy with the striking butchers and
meat cutters" This is a sweeping
pledge now, as just previous to its
adoption the constitution was amended
SO that strike benefits extend indefinite
" instead of being limited to four
weeks. Under the amended constitu-
tion the general officers stated that the
pledges to exhaust the last
dollar in its treasury to secure favor
able termination of the great strike.
President Shea stated that he would
make an appeal to every local union in
the International Brotherhood Of Team
|sters to secure funds to continue the
strike.
Il am certain that the butcher work
men will win" said Shea, and we are
going to back them with dir last dol
lar.

STRIKERS USE TRANSFERS
S AS WHIP OVER PACKERS

H Chicago, Aug. o.-The union team
Esters are the principal weapon which
the labor leaders propose to use to win
the stock yards strike. Orders were is
sued to drivers of ice wagons to. deliver
no more ice to butchers who buy of the
big packers or to any branch houses of
the packing plants where the men are
now on strike. A list of more than 200
retail dealers who have been buying
meat from the so-called trust packers
and hauling away with their own wag-
|ons has been compiled and according to
the claims of the strike leaders the ice
supply will be cut off from every one
of these places. Arrangements have been
made to have pickets stationed at the re-
tail markets which have been placed un-
der the ban of the unions to see that
the boycott is enforced to the limit.
q The order prohibiting ice deliveries to
the retailers is duplicate of the one
ISSUED last week, but was never enforc-
ed, because it had not been enforced by
the international officers of the team
Esters' union. At Cincinnati where the
international Brotherhood of Team
|sters was in session yesterday, the nee
Eessary endorsement of the proposed boy
colt was given and the belated order
will be put in force. All the packing
plants began operations here with slight
Fly increased forces of workmen, nearly
200 additional employees having been Sc
cured over Sunday. Nearly all the new
men who left the yards Saturday night
to spend Sahday at their homes, return
ed to work. Among those who reported
for duty were considerable number of
the strikers, who, according to the pack
ers, had become tired of being idle and
made application for the places they
held prior to the strike.

LETTER TO ]. p. SUB2RBILLE.

Dear Sir: Your business is,
when honse burns down, to give
the owner some money to build a
new one. 1t is a good business.
Queer that the world got on SO long
without it.
We paint the one that burnt
down and the new one too. What
is better, we paint the honses that
don't bnrn down.
YOu insure the houses that bnrn
we insure the houses that don't.
You have the ashes and smoke; all
the houses are ours
We paint lead aud zine; Devoe
We sell the paint TO painters; We
don't paint.
Lead and oil is the old fashion
paint. Devoe is zine ground in
with lead and linseed oil the best
paint in the world and the cheapest,
because it takes fewer gallons than
mixed paints and it wears twice as
long as lead and-oil. Nobody
wants poor paint; there's lots of
it, though, in the world.
A. NJ Griffin, Plainfeld, N. j.
writes:
"Mr. Aaron Higgins, Of Plaindeld, al
ways used Is gallons of mixed paint for
his house. Last Spring he bought 10
gallons of Devoe and had gallons left"
Yours truly,

CONSUMPTION.

Mr.. EditOr-I would like TO call
the attention of your readers to a
couple of articles on Consumption,
The Great White Plague, by Eu-
gene Wood in the May and June
issues of Everybody's Magazine.
In it. the astonishing announce
ment is made "that through this
disease, more money goes out of
the country every year in hearses,
than comes in, in ships"
This enormous waste, he claims,
and rightly too, we think could be
prevented for the latest enuncia-
ton of modern science on the sub
ject is, that consumption is both
preventable, and durable.
These excellently prepared arti-
cles give in brief form the new
methods of treatment; explain the
benefit of nigh:sweats, the remedial
effects of slight hemorrhages and
show how these with the many
other manifestations OF lung dis
ease, are only natures efforts to
right the wrong, which she will
surely do, if You intelligently give
her the opportunity. In short,
they fling wide open "the door Of
hope" to all who fears or suffers
from this once SC called incurable
disease.
Believing that these new methods
of treating this greatest enemy of
human life, are destined in the
near future to add UNNECESSARILY
to our sum of health, wealth, and
happiness; and that a wide dis
semination of such timely know
ledge, can not fail to prove pro
ductive Of good in this community
is oar excuse for asking space for
this communication.

Der of thoughtful men of both par

the old, old story of the leaders of
Tammany striving for vantage
ground for prospective patronage
on the eve of a presidential election.

mated, he believed, augured a con-
tidence in Democratic success at

BROUSSARD SEES PARKER.

Washington, D. c., June L.
Representative Robert F. Brous-
sard of Louisiana, who is in Wash
ington, is confident that Judge
Alton Brooks Parker of New York
will be nominated at st. Louis and
elected president Of the United
States.
Mr.. Bronssard has just returned
from New York whittier he went
primarily as one of the board of
visitors to the United States Mill
tary Academy at West Point. At
the conclusion of his visit, with
several other gentlemen, he stopped
on his way southwark at Esopus,
the home Of Judge Parker. Mr..
Broussard is one of the first of the
Southern members of Congress
who, when the question of an
available Democratic candidate for
president became a subject of ear
nest discussion in his party, turned
to the New York Judge and stud
led him. The congressman's in-
vestigation of the party and official
record Of the judge convinced the
Louisiana House member that he
was on the right line, while what
he observed of Judge Parker's
bearing under temptation and prov
ocation to talk was still more in
teresting. Mr.. Broussard's visit
to the judge appears to have fur
nished more than conirmatory con-
illusions.
"Judge Parker impressed me as
q thorough going Democrat. He
looks the superior man that he is.
His personality, bearing and con-
versation are cordial and kindly
and engaging.
HE is an excellent of hand
talker and . considerable listener.
BE particularly impressed me that
he has . sincere regard for the
highest interest of his party, be-
lieving in its basic principles.
he is broad enough to practice con-
all interests, but where his
party is concerned and PARTISAN

NORTHERN OPINION OF Gov
ERNOR BLANCHARD.

Editorial in the New York
Tribune: In his inaugural address
the new Governor of Louisiana,
Newton C. Blanchard, expressed
with admirable frankness his views
on the race question and kindred
problems. Governor Blanchard
is Southern leader of capacity and
influence. He has been Judge IN
the Louisiana courts, has served
his State as a Representative in
Congress and as Senator, and was
elected in April last, with practical
ly no opposition, to the Governor
ship. He is no "fre eater"
What he says is to be taken as the
utterance, not of demagOgue try
ing to stir the passions of the pre-
JUDGED aud the ignorant, but Of a
serions public man Of large ex-
perlence and sober Judgement.
Governor Blanchard is wiling to
make no compromise with mob law
and mob violence. He will not con-
doneasuspension of the orderly pro
cessess justice, no matter what the
temptation to popular vengeance.
"Mob law in cOntravention and
defiance Of law will not be tolerat-
ed" he says. "Lynchings will
not he permitted under any eircum-
STANCES if it be possible for the
military at the command Of the
Governor to prevent it. Sheritfs
will be held to the strictest account
ability possible under the law for
the safety from mob violence of
persons in custody This is a
courageous aud righteous stand,
and we trust that Louisiana, under
its present Executive, will be able
to live up to it.
On the negroes general right to
protection and consideration as
citizen Governor Blanchard is also
in advance of a good deal OF
Southern sentiment. He is, in
fact, willing to admit what many
Southern politicians deny, at least
in practice-that the negro is
bona fide citizen. He says very
sensibly on this topic:
"The negro is here. He is a
man and citizen He is useful
and valuable in his sphere With
in that sphere he must be guarantee
ed the equal protection of the law,
and his education along proper
lines-mainly agricultural and in
dustrial-is at once duty and
necessity. He must be protected
in his right to live peaceably and
quietly, in his right to labor and
enjoy the fruits of his labor He
must be encouraged to industry
and taught habits of thrift"
The negro cannot hope for social
or any approach to social
adds the Governor. But,
though racial distinctions must be
maintained, there is room enough,
he thinks, for both black and
white, and every reason why they
should live son terms of concord,
mutual trust and mutual help"

A LABOR-CURsED WORLDS FAIR

Union labor has had the manage
ment of the St. Louis Worlds Fair b,
the throat for three years past Al
most since the first shovelful of eartl
was thrown up on the exposition
grounds every nook and corner of the
place, every department of construc-
tive activity have been under the com
plete and absolute domination of union
ism. Not only has the exposition
company felt the blight on this contro
from the very beginning, but every
contractor and sub-contractor, even
the United States government itself,
have had to bend their necks to the
yoke of organized labor.
The condition of affairs at the ex-
position grounds, as unfolded in st.
Louis special to the Monday CONNER
cial ought to convince any chance
lingering dOubter that the employer
who treats union labor the best and
the most fairly is almost without ex-
ception the one picked out as the spe-
cial target for its attacks. 1t is the
most exacting the most arrogant, the
most vicious where it ought to be the
most considerate.
Strikes on the exposition grounds
have been so numerous i'll the past
three years that the count of them was
lost long ago One employer Of
plumbers, for instance, has had about
one hundred and fifty strikes to con-
tend with, and all of them started on
the most trifling and flimsy pretexts.
Wages meantime have jumped from
81. 80 to pc for an eight-hour day. One
foreman of the mOdelers in staff is
paid SO. 60 for an eight-hour day, with
double time for overtime and Sundays;
and as the extra time often has been
necessary, he frequently has received
$40. 20 for day work. For Sun
day of twelve hours his wages would
amount to the tidy sum of 1928. 80,
equivalent, under the peculiar rules
of the union, to his pay for three
days of eight hours each! And con-
ditons almost as bad have existed in
every trade and in every class of en-
ployment inside the Worlds Fair
grounds.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the
exposition company found itself seri-
ously embrassed in its finances more
than year ago and was forced to NOR
tgage its gate receipts to the govern
ment as security for the loan of "a, -
500. 600? Simply because the enter
prise was an ambitious one, requiring
financing on most extensive scale,
labor Immediately laid its
plan to hold up the company and loot
It. And that it has done in manner
hat would compel the instant admira-
ion of Robin Hood
If the tLouis Fair shall prove fl
lancial failure or default payment Of
my part of its government loan, that
will probably mean the end of govern
nent aided expositions in this country.
And organized labor, to which the
,reat bulk Of their money cost goes, |
will have itself to thank for having
ut itself off from further opportuni-
les to loot its employers N. Y.
