President Donnelly of the Amalga-

Workmen of North America, leader
of the strikers, said in a conversation
tonight that he believed the strikers
would have little difficulty in with
standing a siege of more than a year
with the strike funds the unions have
on hand. In Chicago thirty-five local
unions are involved in the strike.
ATTITUDE OF THE PACKERS.
President Donnelly and the presi-
dents of the various locals assembled
at the headquarters this morning,
thinking they might receive a notice
of surrender from the packers, but no
word came. The packers took the po-
sition that they had replied decisively
to the workers demand and had moth
ing more to say, except to emphasize
a refusal to pay the wage scale asked.
Arthur Meeker. Of Armour e. Co., said
tonight:
I'VE consider the demand of the
union for an advance in wages of un-
skilled labor entirely unwarranted by
conditions. We could not concede il
and proposed to submit the question to
arbitration, which the union declined
to do and called a strike to-day at ali
of our plants. Every department is
kept running, however. We have had
applications from hundreds of unem-
ployed men for positions at less wages
than we have been paying, and every
day expect TO increase our output. We
regret extremely the hardships and suf
fering that will be imposed on the

last Sunday night went out on the
search Of L. Brown Of San Francisco,
and who themselves became lost, were
located this morning on a ledge 200
feet below the summit of North Dome.
Up 10 9 o'clock tonight they had
not been rescued Two parties
from Camp Curry had been searching
for them all night and early this morn
Ing one Of the party after repeated
calls heard 2 faint reply way below
him. II was impossible to reach the
boys, but one Of them said that they
were nearly famished for want of food
and water, water being what they
craved most. The boys had been thir-
ty-six hours without food or water.
As soon as they were discovered an
effort was made TO rescue them: but
before long the rescuers found they
had tackled z task more difficult than
was at first supposed. The boys. it
seems. started out together late Sun
day night owing TO the anxiety Of Mrs.
Brown TO find her husband and son.
In trsversing the cliffs around the sum-
nit they had in some unaccounta BILE
manner slipped to a ledge 200 feet be
low the summit and had found it i'm
possible TO get back to safety.
After many vain attempts they had
70 forsake their efforts and wait for
help which they knew would likely
be sent out from Camp Curry. The
boys kept up their courage until twen-
ty-four hours had gone by and then the
situation began to assume q more seri-
Gus aspect. Their thirst became al
most unbesrsble and they had almost
given I'D hope when the rescue party
came upon them above the ledge.
As soon as the rescue party discov-
cred the lads they had q hurried con-
sultation and two of the party were
hurried back TO the camp to secure
ropes. After the ropes were secured it

Quit uOrk.

CHICAGO, July 12.-As the result of
a stubborn disagreement, chiefly over
wages for unskilled labor, one OF the
most extensive strikes in the history of
the meat packing industry of the
United States began to-day in Chicago,
Kansas City, Omaha, st. Joseph, and
other cities where large packing plants
are located. If prolonged, the strike is
expected to cause widespread incon-
venience, possibly equaling the anthra-
cite coal famine of two years ago.
The unanimity Of the strike was COM
plete More than $4,000 employees are
directly involved. In Chicago alone
$1,000 men are on strike.
The effect of the strike on the food
supply of the country and the price of
meat is being earnestly discussed, not
withstanding the announcement to-
night that the packing houses, contrary
to expectations, will continue opera
tions without any close down, employ
ing whatever help may be available.
How much alleviation in the furnishing
may afford is a matter of wide varia-
ton Of opinion. The packers declare
that hundreds of men who could not
be provided with places have been ap-
plying daily for work.
NO SIGN OF DISORDER.
The walkout here was started by the
employees Of the killing departments

killers were followed by the workers

ii was not the desire of the men to
cause the employers any financial loss
as a result of neglecting meat that was
on hand to be dressed.
Watched by cordons of police, the
strikers filed brislxly out of the packing

THE war is teaching Russia
a number of lessons which will
be to her serious advantage.
and not all of them are mill
tary. The value of public opin-
ion is recognized in her new
policy of restricting censorship
to information about her war
preparations and conditions.
Allowing free transmission of
other news not only i'm itself
diminishes prejudice against
her IN the newspaper world,
but il opens the universal press
To the influence of her clever
diplomats. who will undoubted-
ly be generous i'm official and
unofficial interviews, and il has
a less direct and more impor-
tant result. The only keen
supporter of Russia at present.
in America, among men of in
huence, is an editor whose long
residence i'm France has made
him personally acquainted with
Russian mobiles, whose views
he now voices energetically i'm
his paper. Social attractions
count for much i'm the forma-
ton of opinion. Taking from
the censorship its rigidity en-
courages foreign journalism
not only to see a greater OPP
portunity in Russia, but to ex-
pand more in explanation of
Russian facts, ideals, and
thoughts. There will inevita-
bly, be reaction also. You can
not export intelligence without
importing it. Russia's better
elements may well rejoice in
this opening wedge, which in
dicates that ii light is dawning
even upon the bureaucracy.
