fight to finish.
The following statement was given
out by President Donnelly:
The conference board, representing
all organizations involved in the pres
ent packing house strike, has taken
action to place all meats upon the
unfair list. This order goes into eff
feet on September 8. The order will
be sent to every packing house in the
country, and no member of the meat
cutters and butchers workmen union
will be allowed to dress any animal
until the strike is settled. This action
is the result of the request that the
public refuse to eat meat and no per-
son, no matter in what capacity en-
ployed in handling meat, must handle
the same after September 8. The
packers have resorted to extortion as
the result of the strike, buying live
stock on the hoof for almost nothing
and charging almost any price for the
dressed product. The public will now
be given an opportunity to retaliate
by refusing to eat meat until such
time as they can procure the same
at a fair market price"

STRIKERS REMAIN OUT
FORCE MEAT FAMINE

Chicago, Sept. ga meat famine
will be forced at all costs. 1t is the
best weapon with which to fight the
trust packers, although it may be well
coined by the independents"
In these words President Donnelly
Of the butchers national organization
declared a boycott against all meat
and announced that union men will
quit in all packing establishments
Immediately regardless of where live
stock is secured.
Donnelly's announcement was made
at the conclusion of a meeting of the
allied trades conference board. The
executive board of the retail meat
dealers association of Chicago had
just been in conference with Mr.
Donnelly and his associates, having
come to ask certain concessions for
the Independent packers and to seek
authority to attempt to bring about a
meeting between the packers and the
representatives Of the strikers. By
ignoring these latest attempts at
peace and by adopting such an aggres
sive step these strike leaders demon
strated their intention to make it a

Radium Fatal to Small Animals.

1t has been demonstrated by Prof.
Curie that the emanations given off
by radium cause the death of the
smaller animals when breathed by
them. Experiments were conducted
on guinea pigs in glass jars. After
the animal had breathed the air
charged with the emanations for a
certain time verying from one hour
to several hours the respiration be-
came short and abrupt. He rolled
himself up in a ball with his hair
standing on end. Then he fell into
profound torpor and his body be-
came cold. An examination of the
animal showed an intense pulmonary
congestion. The composition of the
blood was modified. especially as re-
CARDS the white corpuscles, and their
number diminished. The tissues of
the animal were found to be radio
active. When the body of the guinea
pig was placed on a Photographic
plate wrapped in black paper it gave
an image in which the hairs were very
clearly defined.

CAMP ON LONELY ISLAND.
United States Marines Must Rely on
Themselves for Company.

Themselves for Company.
American marines under the COM
mand of Lieut.. Clarence S. Owen.
formed a camp last May on Sand
island, one of the Midway islands.
which are mere specks in the Pacific
but are important as a cable station,
and for other reasons. Lieut.. Owen,
naval surgeon, three non-commis-
stoned officers and sixteen privates
form the camp By digging eight
feet in a valley near the camp excel
lent drinking water was obtained. A
cellar was constructed for the stor-
age of provisions. The temperature
in the cellar is regularly about 70 de-
grees, while the external temperature
varies from 20 to 100 degrees. 9th
er stores were placed in large tent
provided for the purpose. On the
| island thousands of eggs can be found
a short distance from the camp, pro-
vided by the gray backed tern, and
a large number were gathered. Fish
are also in abundance and easily
| caught. The detachment is supplied
with library and the comfort of the
men has been provided for as much
as possible. The men can have the
| luxury of a fresh shower bath, as a
well has been dug from which water
| is drawn and placed in a barrel at
such a height that by crude attach
ment the shower is easily turned on.
| There is a 6O0-yard rife range and a
rife butt. Besides the numberless
gray-backed terms, the albatross
abound in great numbers. Then
there are wedge-tailed clearwater
man-of-war birds, red tailed swallows
sickle-billed curfew ond snipe.

Bolero jacket fronts are not always

Beef Rarons Not Worried.

The beef barons are evidently not
afraid of the law proceedings that
President Roosevelt commenced

if they thought he would institute
criminal proceedings they would at

An injunction does not worry them in
the least, but like all civilized beings
they fear the criminal law. President
Roosevelt has the power to place the
beef barons behind the bars. Will
he do il?
