PACKING HOUSE STRIKE is RESUMED.

the exception Of the teamsters and en-
gineers, responded to orders for a gen
/ eral sympathetic strike The engi
neers, he declared, would Join thu
strikers tomorrow morning and unless
there was speedy settlement Of the
difficulty be said the teamsters would
undoubtedly Join their brother work
men in their struggle for supremacy.
According to the packers, the gen.
eral strike was failure, 1t being
claimed by them that not over one-halt
the members Of the allied trades quit
work when ofiicially called out by their
leaders yesterday morning. The fur
ther statement was made by the pack
ers that should all the union men de-
eide TO Join the strikers 1t would make
little difference to the employers, as
they had sufficient resources to contest
the ground for an indefinite period
On the other hand, the labor leaders
assert that an the union employees at
the different packing plants, together
with several hundred employees of the
Union Stock Yards company quit
work yesterday IN response to the gen.
eral order for a sympathetic strike.
A new phase Of the strike situation
developed when notice was given by
the unions to the Independent packers
at the stock yards that their men
would not be allowed to handle ami
mails which had been brought into the
yards or handled In any way by non
union men.
To complicate matters still more the
allied trades unions which went on a
sympathetic strike held a meeting
last night and signed an agreement
that none of~the unions would return
to work until the packers had signed
working agreements with each union
at the yards. AS the ma
5ority of the labor organizations had
been working without an agreement
before this strike, settlement Of the
strike. 1t is believed, will
be great deal more difficult than the
of the controversy with the
butcher workmen. the original strik-
ers. II the unions live up to their
pledge with each 0ther, 1t means that
all the unskilled workmen must be
granted working agreements With the
packers before resuming work. With
The packers In their present state Of
mind, 1t 10 the general opinion that
hey will never agree to accept such
. proposition and that they would pre-
Ter to close their plants entirely
'athef than TO concede such demand.

WINS IN
RACE WITH
DEATH

Mrs Nathaniel Thayer was to have en-
tertained at dinner last evening at her
Newport home. On Sunday morning an
urgent message reached her summoning
her at once TO the bedside OF her mother,
Mrs. Paul Revere. who was lying NOR
tally stricken at the Isle au Haut In
Maine.
The message from Isle au Haut was
forwarded with considerable difficulty 10
Mrs. Thayer as the island is isolated. and
a 30-mile sail was necessary in conveying
the word TO Rockland. from which point
II was forwarded by telephone TO New
port.
Mrs. Thayer started early Sunday
morning 10 reach her mother. She had
considerable trouble from the start. as
Sunday schedules are seldom designed 10
meet the demands OF urgent haste.
At Boston IL was found that no regular
train would leave for Rockland before
Monday. So a special train was in order.
Fortunately money matters were the
least Of Mrs. Thayer's troubles. The
special hurried along with Mrs. Thayer
and her maid and soon pulled IN at Rock
land. Al the latter place a yacht was in
waiting. and after long sail the daugh-
ter reached her mother while she was yet
alive.
Mrs. Revere Is the widow OF the grand
son OF the original Paul Revere OF Revo-
lutionary fame.

makes a good impression. for they are

by Adelaide Marsden in operatic soprano
selections which are illustrated. but the
pictures do not make the act any better.
