The Meat Strike Goes On.

It was decided by the butchers of Chi cago yesterday to protract the strike. The dispatches of the day before had inspired a belief that it was about to end; that the strikers were willing to surrender if the surrender could be given the name of a. settlement. The attitude of the packers made that inn possible and it has been voted not to call the struggle off until an honor able adjustment" can be secured.
 The struggle is one which does not greatly affect this particular section. less indeed than the great steel strike did, but it is one of the most interest ing struggles between employers and employed that has taken place in re- cent years.
 Two statements of the alleged facts and merits of the strike appear in the last issue of Harper's Weekly, one by John R. Rathom in behalf of the pack CTS and the other by President DonneI- ly of the Butchers union. MT. Rathom describes the unionizing of the pack ing plants which began about four years ago. He says that the employ CTS are not averse to unionism except when it goes too far in dictating re- garding the management of the busi- ness. He says that the controversy in the beginning related only to common labor and in no way touched upon the
 
 the question was raised last May the butchers were told that business condi- lions did not warrant a compliance with their demands but that the pack CTS would be willing to submit the sub teet to arbitration: that the strike was then ordered. This was shortly fol- lowed by an agreement by which the strikers should be taken back as fast as room could be made for them but that the new men who desired to stay should be permitted to do so and that at the end Of forty-five days such of the strikers as had not been rein stated should have their eases settled by arbitration. The wage question was also left to arbitration. Mir. Rathom states that within fifteen minutes after the work of receiving the men began another strike was ordered by MT Donnelly in accordance with an agree ment among the butchers the day be- fore. and after the agreement between the strikers and the packers, that ii any of the strikers were refused em- ployment all of them should stay out

under very peculiar coalitions There
is remarkable fish, usually about
four feet in length. yet with so alcn-
der a body that It does not weigh more
than as many pounds. This fish is
not taken with 4 hook, nor Is it usually
netted. 1t is simply picked up on some
sandy beach on a frosty morning.
How or WHY the fish throws itself
upon the shores does not appear to be
fully known. 1t used to be supposed
that it was stranded by pursuing its
prey too close 10 the shore or was
washed up dead. 1t is now believed
that the creature commits an act Of
deliberate self-destruction for some
reason. It literally leaps upon the
shore and there dies When landing
it does not evince the least fear Of
man. The so-called Frost Fish is rou1d
only in the coolest weather, and it is
supposed by some that the intensity
of the cold is the cause Of the lsh'5

highly prized, its melting flesh Of
