Assault on Negro Strike Breaker In
ST. Joseph Causes Injury
of Five Men.

Kansas City, July 24-No action was
taken by the union packing house en-
ployes today relative to the ultimatum
of the allied trades unionists to the pack
ers at Chicago last night, and no action
will be taken until additional advices are
received from the Chicago employees.
The labor leaders here are not in favor
of taking any decisive action until they
know exactly what the Chicago unionists
intend to do. 1t is certain. however, that
the employees here will follow the leao
of the Chicago unions. and If the threat
ened strike is declared in the morning, the
employees here win be loyal to the orders
of the leaders in Chicago. Several meet
ings of individual organizations were held
in Armourdale, but the leaders did not
think 1t necessary to call a general con
ference of the general council.
OF the six packing houses in this city
only Swift did any killing today. Armour
and Fowlers do no killing on Sunday, but
their managers say they will open with
increased facilities tomorrow The Cud-
ahy packing plant which has been closed
since the second, was declared ready to
open tomorrow with non-union labor, ac,-
cording to a statement of J. p. Cudahy.
E. A. Peterson, general manager of the
Schwarzschld e. Sulzberger plant said to-
night that that plant will also open with
non-union men tomorrow morning.
Rudy Brothers plant will not resume
operations until the strike is settled

THROUGH THE DARDANELLES
JEoPARDIzEs THE PEACE OF
THE ENTIRE WORLD.

Toxic. July "a, p. m.-The passage of
the Dardanelles by the Russian volunteer
fleet steamers, the seizures of German
mail and the capture in the Red Sea by
Russia of the Peninsular and Oriental
steamer Malacca have attracted great at
tention throughout Japan.
The government Is watching the situ-
alton keenly, but it has not given any
form of expression to it's views or indi-
Gated that it will take any action in the
matter.
The editors of the Toxic newspapers
have met and passed by a unanimous
resolution an article declaring that the
passage of the Dardanelles of the Russian
ships is a violation of the treaty obliga-
tions, and an insult to all the powers;
that the seizure of ships by the Russian
volunteer vessels jeopardizes the interests
of all neutral powers, and that Russia S
action endangers the peace of the world.

All Seem to Thing the Election of
Taegart is Assured.

New York, July 24-Several men,
bers Of the national democratic COM
mittee arrived In New York today,
among them being W. H. Martin of
Arkansas, r. M. Johnson of Texas, r.
l.. Williams or Indian Territory. All
of them called on Mr. Taggart at the
Hoffman house, and none Of them
seemed to think there was the least
doubt about Taggart's election as
chairman.
There was some gossip among the
members of the committee about the
election of other officers. C. r.

Urey Woodson oil Kentucky are candi-
dates for secretary, while 1t seems to
be considered probable that August

All Harmonious In New York.

New York, July 24.-To all outward ap-
pearances there is perfect harmony be-
tween the big packers and their employees
In this city. The killing of cattle went on
as usual during the five Sunday work
hours In the Schwarzschild G. Sulzberger
plant and that of the United Dressed Beef
company.
The leaders were busy holding confer
ence, however, and the situation in this
city depends on the, outcome of the con-
ference at Chicago, although Fl. L. Echel-
berger the general organizer of the
Amalgamated Meatcutters and Butcher
Workmen, has repeatedly asserted that
the big packers in this city were willing
to conform to the recent Chicago agree
nent. regardless Of what. may he done at

ct Joseph, Mo-, July 24.-Abe Kruz,
negro strike breaker. was assaulted by
pickets near the packing plant of Swift

assailants, wounding five. They are;
Ioe Weigle, shot in abdomen, may de-
John Jetta shot in body and legs.
Joe Sanger, wounded in thigh ana legs.
August Newmeyer, shot in legs.
Kruz was arrested by the police and
is in the county jail. He fired but one
short The weapon was a magazine
shotgun. loaded with buckshot.
The strikers say the negro passed inside
the lines near the pickets who were at the
time discussing some alleged shooting by
negro strike-breakers at another part OF
the yards last night. The negro Is SAID
to have heard a part of the discussion
as he passed to pickets, and to have
turned to them with warning OF don
you talk to me-" The witnesses state that
he then passed fifty yards further insios
the lines, mounted some steps at the re-
ceiving station, took aim at the group OF
pickets and fired, wounding the five men.
The negro ran at once to the plant and
was lost sight of by the strikers. and
the police, as soon as they learned his
whereabouts, refused to talk, apparently
fearing an attempt at mob violence by
the crowd which gathered in an almost
incredibly short time after the shooting
occurred.
The wounded men were taken to the
offices of the packing trades council where
their injuries were attended.

HOPE OF PEACE

Cotton Mills Will Open Today
as Usual
OK mn MEN ARR INV0l VT n
25,OO0 MEN ARE INVOLVED
President Golden of the Textile Work
ers is Confident and Cautions
the Men Not to Go Near
the Works Today.

Fall River, Mass, July A.-With hope
of peaceful settlement abandoned. both
sides in the pending industrial trouble
here await with dogged determination the
coming of tomorrow, and the first test
of strength between little group OF
manufacturers representing combined
capital of $250O0,0OO on one side, and
more than 25Ooo cotton mill operatives
on the other.
The mill gates will be opened at the
usual time tomorrow morning, and the
operatives will be given an opportunity
to go to work under a wage reduction OF
12lb per cent. If an insufficient number
responds, the mills will be closed for an
indefinite period. The strike leaders were
of the opinion tonight that there
would not be enough operators ap-
plying for work throughout the entire
city, to even run one mill, to say nothing
of the eighty or more that are affected
by the strike orders.
Do Not Represent Sentiment.
The sr1anug afurers calm tllaa tho 2o1
union men who voted to strike, do not
represent the sentiment of the great body
| Of cotton mill employees. They give the
total number of operatives on their pay
roll as 25,630 This of course does not
include the employees at the independent
mills of NJ c. d. Borden, which are not
involved.
The talk on the streets however, indi-
cate that the feeling against the manu-
facturers is quite as bitter among the
non-union operatives as 1t is among those
who are affiliated with the labor organiza-
tions.
John Golden, president of the United
Textile Workers of America. the leader
of the strike, has cautioned the oper-
atives not to go near the mills tomorrow
Many Wild Threats Made.
Many wild threats have been made by
an influential class of workers. but vio-
lence Is not expected The only possible
break in the ranks of the strikers Is look
ed for at the Borden city mills. These
mills, which nominally employ T5 oper-
atives, have not been operated on full
time for two months, and the people who
are employed there are reported desper-
ate from want.
Regarding the non-union element, the
strike leaders believe that II 1t can be
demonstrated for two weeks that the nom
union operatives can live on strike bene-
fits. as well IL not better than on the
wages paid by the mills, the strike can
be prolonged indefinitely.
The police have made but little prep
aration for handing the crowds of strik-
ers, but officers will be stationed at the
mill gates.
Several small stores, patronized chiefly
by the operatives, have been obliged to
close, owing to the abrupt falling off of
trade, and on all sides an alarming de-
crease has followed the issuance of the
strike order.

politicians to ascertain how they would
support him in case he asked for third
term.
Representative Overstreet of Indiana,

committee passed through Washington

Chairman Babcock he will assist in the

DEMAND WAS HEALTHY.
Business for Prompt Delivery Is Diff.
cult to Arrange.

Manchester, July 24.-There was a
quiet and healthy demand for cloth
last week, but though July cotton was
cheaper business for prompt delivery
was difficult TO arrange. India offers
were numerous, but were largely un-
workable where important lines were
involved. China staples for distant
delivery were in goou demand, which
resulted in moderate transactions.
Producers found 1t difficult to obtain
work for the nearer months even
when they offered to accept low
prices.
Yarns were slightly easier and de-
mand for most descriptions was poor
Occasionally American crops were in
request for delivery in the winter
months, but at limits that mostly were
not acceptable.
