WON OVER BY STRIKERS
New Men in Kansas City Plants Per-

Kansas City, Mo-, July 15.-Five
packinghouses operated their killing
and butchering departments on linn

berger killing sheep for the first time
since. the strike began. At the Ar
mour, Swift and Fowler plants the
output was increased over yesterday,
while the two other companies con-
tented themselves with accomplishing
just enough to get the plants in work
Ing order. "A number of new men
were put to work at each plant, but
all are still far from having their
usual quota.
The strike leaders say they are
making steady inroads in the pack

PARKER And DAVIS
Railroad Magnate Says Main Is
sue Is Reckless Expendi-
lures by Administration.
'ew York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, July 15.-James J. Hill,
the railroad magnate, said today:
THE party could not have made
better nominations than Parker and
Davis. They ought to win, and be-
lieve they will. I see no reason why
all democrats should not support
them.
1.-The business interests Of the coun-
try feel confidence in the ticket and
it's election would not create unrest
or fear. Four and eight years ago
the business men of necessity turned
against the party. This year there
is no reason why they should do So.
II know Mr.. Davis, who has been
named for vice president, and his
nomination will add great strength to
the ticket. Tho he is 80 he is as
young in reality as a man of 55 or
60. He has the confidence of the
country in the highest degree.
Il do not pretend to say how the
west will go. l am not a politician,
and do not know about such things.
THE main issue will be the extrav-
agance of the gOyernment-the reck-
less way in which appropriations have
been made and the peoples money
spent We are being taxed on a war
footing today, and appropriations are
being made to utilize taxation levied
on war basis. The people generally
want to see the country, get back to
a normal and safer level. They have
to have the highest of tariffs to pay
the expense They have been con-
stantly increasing by expenses and
tariff"

PACKERS REVENGE
: BACK OF STRIKE
Government Suit Against Meat
Trust May Be at Bottom Of
Trouble.
'ew York Sun Special Service.


Washington, July Irresponsible
officers of the administration know
nothing to justify the assertion that
the strike Of the packinghouse en-
ployees is the result of efforts made
by the packers to defeat President
Roosevelt. ~...
Apparently the only facts upon
which the assertion is based are that
the federal government sued out a
writ Of injunction because of the
practices of the packers that are in
violation Of the statutes, and that the
department Of justice has asked that
the hearing Of the appeal taken by
the packers be expedited.x r.
: About eighteen. months ago Attor-
preme court for an advancement of
the court set the appeal for hearing
at the October term, which begins
early in that month. go, -.
This application for advancing the
case, it is asserted, angered the pack
ers so much that they conspired to
force their men into the strike for a
threefold purpose: to give them an
opportunity to declare their establish
ments "open shops";@ to increase prices
still further and make the people
more Disguised with the adrlinistra-
tion, and, incidentally, to work off
large stocks of meat: at high prices;
to put themselves in a position to die
tate prices to their employees by let
ting them go on short rations for a
time, and, while doing so, introduce
as many nOn-uniOn men as possible
into their establishments.

IS BRYAN HEDGING
Statements About Democratic Plat.
form More Favorable Than Before

" Lincoln, Neb., July 15.-William J.
Bryan has given out another state
fnent in relation to. the democratic
platform. This time he says nothing
about provisions Of that document be-
ing nullified by Judge Parker's atti-
tude and by other influences in the
east, as he did in his statement with
regard to the democratic presidential
nominee a few days ago. On the
contrary, he says:
On the whole, the. platform is good
From western standpoint, it's greatest
defect is that it makes no mention OF
the money question. An attempt was
made to secure a plank opposing the
melting of the silver dollar, opposing
the asset currency and branch banks
and expressing a preference for the
United States note Ordinarily known as
the greenback) over the bank note, but
having refused to put in a gold plank
the committee was not willing to have
any phase Of the money question alluded
to. ~'---'. '.-- -. -,~
This looks somewhat as tho Mr..
Bryan was trying to counteract the
possible influences of his former
statement, tho the assertion that "on
the whole the platform is good" seems
rather a half-hearted Endorsement.

MAYOR BUCKS THE LINE
Tries to Break Thru South st. Pau
Pickets and Fails.

For the first time since the walkout
on Tuesday, the strike situation at
South st. Paul assumed a serious as
pect this morning. Rumors that work
had been resumed in all departments
Of Swift & Co.'s plant aroused the
strikers and orders were issued to ad-
NIT no one to the plant.
when the clerical force reached the
yards, they found 200 strikers, includ-
ing forty women, massed at the main
entrance. Some tried to go thru, but
were turned back. There was no vio-
Ience, as no determined effort was
made to break thru.
81 Sheriff Grisirn of Dakota county
was appealed to by the plant officials,
and after some talk with the strikers,
he succeeded in gaining admittance
for the engineers and few additional
men. A few@women stenographers
were also admitted:
Mayor Lytle was called on to clear
the street on the bground that the
strikers were obstructing the public
highway. He refused to do this but
volunteered to take the men thru the
line, and started to run the blockade.
Cries Of Zine up" were at once heard
among the strikers and when the bug
mayor reached the line he was
brought, up with a sharp turn. He
tried persuasion, but the strikers re-
FUSED to give way. Later lew
clerks and heads Of departments, who
succeeded in convincing the strikers
that they would seonfine themselves
to clerical work, were allowed to go
thru.
There were additions to the ranks
of the strikers this morning, when the
men employed as carpenters, mill
wrights and icemen walked out. These
men are not members of the Amalga-
mated union, but they are in sympathy
with the strikers
