The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1904-08-18

was effected early this morning by Ne
braska Democrats and Populists in
their state conventions, after many
hours of conferences between COM
mittees representing the two parties,
and at times acrimonious debates in
the separate conventions. A strong
Populist minority opposed fusion on
any basis except Democratic indorse-
ment of the Watson and Tibbles elec-
tors, but this was met with by an en-
phatic refusal from the Democrats,
and counter proposal for an equita-
BILE division of the state officers, and
this was finally accepted.
The Populists thereupon nominated
George w. Berge, of Lincoln, for gov
ernor. The Democrats, at 1:5O a. M,
Endorsed the nomination of Berge for
governor. The POpulists in turn NOM
mated the following: Auditor, j. 5.
Canady, of Minden; treasurer, j. Nj.
Osborne, of Pawnee City; land COM
missioner, A. A WOrsley, of Butte;
school superintendent, Alfred SOftley,
of Grant. This left the three remain
ing officers-lieutenant governor, Sec
rotary of state, attorney general =
none of which had been nominated at
this writing.
Candidate Watson, who heads the
POpulist national ticket, spoke to the
Populists. His speech, which occupied
nearly two and a half hours, was an
indirect appeal against fusion, and he
was frequently applauded.

STRIKERS LINE WEAKENING
Many Skilled Workers Apply for Work =
Teamsters Show DISQUALIFICATION.

A pronounced break in the strike
has come, and 226 skilled Chicago
workmen strikers have applied to the
packers for work in their plants at
other packing centers. The packers
hired the men at once and gave them
railroad tickets, rations and money.
The stock yards firms sent 100 of the
men TO New York to take the places
of strikers there, and sent the remain
ing 126 to Omaha, Kansas City and
st. Joseph. The men said they would
work. but were afraid to work here
where they are known. In addition
to these Ia strikers returned to their
labor in the Chicago stock yards.
Dissatisfaction is rife among the
stock yards teamsters who are now on
strike. 1t is not unlikely that within
forty eight hours they will declare the
strike off, as far as their union is con-
cerned. If this is done it probably
means the beginning of the end of the
strike of the other unions Stock yards
teamsters say that while they have
struck and are refraining from cart
ing any meat for the packers. the
downtown truck teamSters are hauling
great quantities of non-union meat,
and shat the effect of the stock yards
teamsters' strike is utterly lost
The stock yards teamsters say that
Notwithstanding the fact that SO many
trades are involved they can see no
hope of a settle ment of the strike AS
a matter of fact the meat drivers of
the yards believe that the packers have
won out. They are the more conf
dent of this since the refusal of the
packers to meet the strikers again in
conference. The teamsters declare this
shows that thepackers are certain that
have the best end of the struggle.
The packers told the union men that
as long as they were employing the
huge force they did full weeks work
could not be given each man. 1t is
intended as soon as the break comes
and conditions are normal, to employ
just enough men to give all full
weeks work and full weeks pay.
This means that 5000 men, mostly iii
the killing departments, will be
dropped.

wHITECAPPED BY HIS RIVALS
Jealous of Young Mans Attentions to
the Girls They Tie Him to a
Tree at Night.

Bethany Park, Ind, Aug. Is. -
Caught in a trap set by his jealous ri
walls and bound hand foot to a tree,
one of the cottagers at Bethany Park
spent the night in the woods between
Brooklyn and the camp grounds.
Friction has arisen recently be-
tween the young men of Brooklyn
because the cottagers have been pay
ing considerable attention to the young
women of Brooklyn.
One of the Bethany Park campers
accompanied young woman Of
Brooklyn to her home. On his return,
late in the evening, he was tripped up
by a rope stretched across the road
way between two trees. AS he fell to
the ground three young men leaped up
on him and bound him with ropes. He
was carried to a tree, where he was
tied hand and foot, and it was not un-
til morning that he was able to extri-
cate himself and return to the Bethany
Park camp grounds.

New Men Are EMPLOYED.

New Men Are Employed.
New York. Aug. 12-Police Captain
Lantry conferred with representatives
of SchwarZschild & Sulzberger and the
United Dressed Beef company, and as
a result fifty policemen were sent to
the slaughter house district at once
and thirty more were sent there aft.
er midnight. The policemen will look
after the yards and will also go out
on the wagons. Many men were en-
ployed in placing large calcium lights
along the companies docks to be used
in aiding the policemen in watching
the property.
1t is announced that the men who
had taken the places of the strikers
will sleep at night on barges which
We're placed alongside the docks.
President Blumental, of the United
Dressed Beef company, stated that 30O
head of cattle had been killed during
the day, and that by tonight full
force of men would be working The
places Of the striking firemen and en-
gineers, he said, had been easily filled
as the company had a months notice
to prepare for the strike.
Brawls and small riots between the
strikers and those who had taken their
places are of frequent occurrence. Sew
eral arrests have been made. but most
of those who created disturbances got
away before the police appeared. De-
spite the large force of policemen near
the slaughter houses the police are
kept busy protecting the strike-break-
era.

APPEAL TO THE MAYOR
HARRISON. of Chicago, To BE Asked to Settle
the Strike.

Mayor Harrison will be asked today
to do what he can toward settling the
stock yards strike. The retail meat
dealers and grocers have decided to
ask Mayor Harrison to take a position
in the present conflict similar to the
position taken by him in the street car
strike last fall. The street car railway
strike was settled through his efforts.
At a meeting of the retail dealers a
committee OF ten persons was appoint
ed to wait upon the mayor. Represent
atives of the strikers were at this
meeting and expressed themselves as
being satisfied with the plan to ask
Mayor Harrison'S assistance in the con-
rOversy.
Previous to the decision to request
Mayor Harrison to intercede for peace
Cornelius Shea, president Of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Transfers,
declared In an interview that there
would be no more sympathetic strikes
of the members of his union. He de-
clared that all the packing house team
sters now on strike would stand pat"
meaning that they would remain on
strike. Continuing he said: There will
be no extension OF the fight so far as
our organizations are concerned, and
no change will be made in regard to
picketing the places which have been
put under the ban Of the unions"
Shea's attitude Is taken to mean that
the teamsters' joint council will refuse
to sanction any actual walkouts of its
members when they meet tomorrow,
to consider the matter.
