GROWERS MUST
FIGHT ALONE
Big Raisin Association Col
lapses After an Important
Existence Of. Six Years

FRESNO, Aug. AFTER two months
Of strenuous effort to get the raisin
growers into line for the season, the
California Raisin Growers Association,
through President r. K. -Madsen, to-
day abandoned all efforts to preserve
the association and ANNOUNCED that all
contracts so far signed would. be re-
turned, This has been brought about
by the failure of the association to
reach an agreement with the packers
and Of growers to Join the association.
Every grower in the valley must now
do the best he can for himself without
aid from any organization whatever. 1t
is believed that the result will be the
failure of many raisin growers
The association has been in existence
for six years and has handled about
sS,O00,OOO worth of raisins a year, rep
resenting $4,000 acres of grape land The
low price of raisins last year caused the
downfall Of the association.

Building Trades Alliance
Declares War on the
Fuller Company.
Walkout Causes Suspension
of Work ON Four Big
Structures.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The Building
Trades Alliance, made up of seven
unions, declared a strike to-day
against the George A. Fuller Construc-
ton Company and work was tied up
on the following buildings: The Times
building, Forty-second street and
Broadway; the Sturteyant building,
Twenty ninth street and Broadway;
the Trinity building, next to Trinity
Church; the New York Hippodrome,
Thirty third street and Broadway, and
the Taber building, Wall and Pearl
streets.
Philip Weinsheimer, president OF the
Building Trades, who declared the
strike on the subway last week, is re-
sponsible for the strike to-day. The
reason given for calling out the men
was a claim that the Fuller Company
has been using stone from non-union
quarries and trimming yards. In some
quarters it is said that the actual rea-
son for the strike was a fear that the
Building Trades Employers Associa-
ton would declare a lockout.
The strike and to-days move of the
employers grew out of q series of dis
putes that promise to involve the en-
ployers and the union men in the
building trades in another gigantic
struggle. The feeling is extremely Bit
ter between the two sides and both
have been preparing for the fight that
appears to be beginning. The employ
ers assert that if they are driven they
will declare war to the finish on the
unions and employ non-union men I'M
der an open-shop policy.

Preparations Made by Ma
tional Administration to
Strike at Meat BarOns.
Mass of Evidence Gathered
to Prove Violation of
Injunction.
Special Dispatch to. The Call.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON
WASHINGTON, Aug. lit is at the
beef trusts violation of the injunction
! against illegal combination, issued by
Judge Grosscup in Chicago last year,
that the President is anxious to strike,
rather than to intervene to settle the
beef strike. The indications are that
the day. for decisive action is not far
Off. Just how far the administration
has adopted a definite programme Of
attack and just when the blow will fall
is known to no more than two of the
Presidents advisers.
Although the Department of Com
merce and Labor has had twenty differ
ent persons collecting data regarding
| the beef trusts operations, II is de-
clared that the department is not yet
| ready to make a report to the Presi-
dent. Nevertheless the beef trusts sus-
pected violation Of the Grosscup injunc-
tion is understood to have been the
subject of at least one conference at
the White House last week, while Sec
rotary Moody spent part of the week in
considering a mass of reports sent to
the Department OF Justice. Some Of
this came from representatives of the
Department of Justice in certain large
packing centers, while a part Of it is
from agents of the Department of Com
merce and Labor.
The cattle have been followed from
the plains to the butcher by these
agents, who believe themselves to be
nearer the truth of the packing COM
bine's operations than ever before.
1t can, be said that the President will
not give the word to go ahead until he
is sure the Attorney General and his
assistants have the trust "cinched."
When that moment comes the Depart
ment of Justice will take action to have
the. packers brought, before the bar to
show why they should not be held In
contempt of the sweeping injunction
! issued.
The President is not planning this ac-
ton because Of the beef strike. He has
! been awaiting for months the moment
when the evidence in process of collec-
ton should warrant action.

GOVERNOR PLAYS SPY.
Executive of Nebraska Dons Disguise
and Spends Time With Strikers.

SOUTH OMAHA, Aug. T. Dis
guised as a packing-house striker,
Governor Mickey of Nebraska to-day
spent half an hour with the strikers
around the packing plants at this
place. He was entirely unknown and
adopted this plan in order to learn the
true conditions regarding the necessity
of ordering out the State troops to
protect pon-union men.
Together with a crowd of several
thousand strikers, Mickey saw a car
load of strike-breakers unloaded and
sent into Armour's without molesta-
ton of any kind. Afterward he Wis
tied the houses and conferred with
their managers. Later he announced
he was we'll pleased with the true con-
ditions which he thinks he discovered
and has refused 10 call out the militia.

ATTACK POLICE STATION.
Strikers Resent Rescue of Nom Union
Man by Officers.

Strikers Resent Rescue of Nom Union
Man by Officers.
CHICAGO, Aug. Rioters stoned
the Deering street police station late
tonight and for quarter of an hour
the police battled with the crowd of
1000 men and women, as it charged the
station repeatedly with sticks and
stones. shouting vengeance against the
police.
The trouble started when the police
went to the assistance of Frank Castel-
lano, a strike breaker employed in the
stockyards, who had been dragged from
street car and severely beaten. Be
fore the police could reach Castellano
he had fired four shots from a revolver
at his assailants. One of the bullets took
effect in John Sheehan's arm. The mob
became Infatuated when they saw that
their companion had been shot. At
least hundred men made a rush for
Castellano, but he was rescued by the
police.
The police station was only two
blocks away and Castellano was taken
there for safety. Seeing that their in
tended victim had escaped the rioters
determined to get revenge on the police
and tried to wreck the station. Stones
and bricks by the hundred were hurled
at the building and all the windows in
the place were broken. Charge after
charge was made by the police and the
rioters were driven back only by the
strenuous use of clubs. These charges
by the police had little effect, for as
soon as the police withdrew to the sta
ton the crowd would again gather
with fresh supply Of missiles and
make another attack on the place.
Nearly a dozen times the police sal
lied forth and charged the crowd with
clubs before the rioters were dispersed
In one of these charges three policemen
were injured with bricks. At least
fifty rioters were cut about the head
in the hand-to-hand conflicts with the
police.

Santa Fe Company Says the Loss In
Arizona Will Be Partly Bal
anced by Benefits.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1. - Assistant
General Manager Hitchcock of the
Santa Fe system this afternoon stated
that the total loss to the company as
a result of the recent floods in Arizona
would be in the neighborhood of $780,
900. This amount, the company esti-
mates, will be largely counterbalanced
by the returns received from the bene-
fit to growing crops from the-rain, and
to the increase of the company's water
supply at several points along the line
in Arizona, nearly all of which had be-
come exhausted by the long drought.
