The South ST. Paul strike situation
opened yesterday with every indication
OF trouble, and closed quiet and serene,
except for the fact that many of the
union men We're highly displeased with
the action of their president in abolish
ing the blockading features of the
pickets.
1t is a serious question whether
President Willis will be able to con-
troll his men at the meeting of the
union today, and he refuses to say that
he will continue in charge if his action
should not be sanctioned.
When the non-u -unionists arrived on
the motors they faced by far the
strongest picket line seen during the
strike. About 500 men, reinforced by
fifteen women, blocked the roadway
leading to the entrance of Swift & Co.'S
plant, and, despite efforts to break
through the line, not non-union man
passed into the plant until the block
ade was raised.
On several occasions trouble was
narrowly averted, and if a riot had
ensued the officers at hand would have
been powerless to quell the disturb
ance, Sheriff Grisim openly confessing
that he was not able to handle the sit
uation, and Mayor Lytle falling to ac-
complish anything more than the de-
livering of an address on the duties of
citizens.
There is every reason to believe that
the blockade will be continued again
today, and if the men act on their own
initiative and are not subject to their
officers, there is additional danger of a
clash, as Supt Burns say that it is the
purpose to take in non union men as
fast as possible.
A settlement of the strike is, to all
appearances, as far removed as it was
on the day of the walkout, Tuesday of
last week.

Panama Commissioners Want
100000 Yards Netting

WASHINGTON. July 1S.-Gen. Da-
Wis, governor general of the Panama
canal strip, has advised the Panama
canal commission that he wants 100,-
600 yards of wire gauze to prevent
mosquito invasion Of the zone. Gen.
Davis says that this will be perhaps
the largest order for mosquito netting
ever given. He recommends the use of
steel wire screens not coarser than
seventeen meshes to the square inch,
galvanized.
Admiral Walker suggests that cop
per and brass wire also might be util-
lied. For the hospitals, 10000 yards
will be needed, while for screening the
houses along the canal zone $4,000
yards will be required. Two thousand
yards are. to be used to protect the

During the night the Japanese had
evacuated Siakao pass and the heights
surmounted by the temple, leaving only
outposts there. At dawn Gen. Kash-
talinskys column occupied these pass
es, driving back the Japanese advance
posts.
At about $50 on the morning of
strength. and with numerous guns, oc-
cupie6 Wafank Wan pass and the
mountainous bluffs to the south on the
flank of Gen. Kashtalinskys column.
From this position and from the crest
of the mountains to the east of the
heights surmounted by the temple, the
enemy directed a very heavy rifle and
artillery fire.
Gen. Kashtalinsky advanced to oc-
cupy the bluffs, sending forward at
once one and then three battalions, but
the attempt failed notwithstanding the
support given by the horse mountain
battery, as our field guns could not be
brought into action on account of the
nature of the ground.
At about s a. m. Gen. Keller, who
was directing the fight around TX
havuen, deemed it necessary to lend
assistance to Gen. Kashtalinsky's col
umn by bringing up from the general
reserve three battalions to the heights
surmounted by the temple. In order to
maintain the positions we had already
occupied it was necessary owing to the
enemy's pressure to reinforce imme-
diately with other reserves the troops
In the fighting line. but these positions
owing to situation being untenable.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-07-19

Gen. Keller found the strength of
the enemy so great compared with ours
that he decided not to continue the
fight and not to bring. up either the
special or the general reserves, espe-
cially in view of the fact that in case
of his ultimately taking the offensive
it would be necessary to attack without
support of the field artillery.
In consequence of this Gen. Keller
decided about 10:30 to withdraw his
troops to the positions originally oc-
cupied Wafankwan pass and the
retired slowly, step by step and in per-
field battery, which had been brought
into action.
Towards midday an offensive move
ment by the enemy in the direction OF
the right flank of. the Yanz pass posi-
tion. developed and at the same time g
japanese mountain battery was
brought into position in the village OF
Tsoudiaputse, two and half miles
south of Ikhavuen After "a shots had
been fred from the third battery OF
the third brigade, which held the sad
die to the south of Yanz pass the
japanese battery was finally reduced
to silence.
The fight ceased at p. m. and the
troops returned to Ikhavuen.
The japanese advance was stopped
above the valley of the Iantakhe river
at position occupied and maintained
by us.
In consequence of sleepless night
and the heat Of the day our troops
were greatly fatigued, having been ovei
nfteen hours on foot and fighting.
Our losses have not yet been ex-
actly ascertained, but Gen. Keller re-
ports that they exceed 1000.

SSSNVVNN/N/VNNSHS NSNVVVSSSSSc>cS$Dcc
butchers, telephoned an order from st.
Paul that the blockade on the Swift S
Co. plant be removed.
This followed an interview with Gov.
van SAINT at the state capitol, Willis
having been summoned there after
Sheriff Grisim had reported that he was
unable to preserve the peace.
The message came as distinct shock
to the men, and whether the order will
be obeyed in the future will be de-
c1ded at meeting of the union to be
held today
The pickets sullenly obeyed the or
der when notified by Business Agent
Steep, and an hour after the message
had been received twas possible to send
men to the Swift & Co. plant without
interference. Supt. Burns took adj
vantage of the occasion to send through
several men who had remained around
during the entire day in the hope OF
securing work.
The manner in which the pickets re-
ceived the order gave the impression
that the officers of the union have lost
control of their men, and the later oe-
currences warrant the belief that such
will prove to be the case at the meet
ing of the union today. On all sides
Willis was declared to be gutter
and the assertion was made that the
men would continue the blockade on
their own account and without the
sanction of the officers of the union.
Joseph Longquist, who has acted as
director of the pickets, was most per-
sistent in advocating that the men con-
lime tha hlooLada copfa1dipo +ba+ o,,l,~
by this method could they win. He
not only enlisted the support of a great
many of the men, securing from them
"a promise that they would be on hand
this morning for picket duty, but he
also won the cooperation of the wom-
en- strikers, who agreed to act also and
again take the front rank with the
pickets.
Strikers Blame Leaders
Longquist was by no means alone in
the opinion that the officers of the
union were apparently sacrificing the
chances of success through lack of
nerve, and it is likely that there will
today be enough of the strikers on
hand to stop all those who would enter
the plant. 1t was argued that if the
blackade is maintained for any length
of time the packers must of necessity
accede to the demand of the strikers,
as under the circumstances it will be
impossible to operate the plant at
profit.
When seen by T h e G o b in refer
ence to the disaffection in the union
ranks, and asked as to the reasons for
withdrawing the pickets after such a
strenuous day, President Willis was not
disposed to talk at great length, and
absolutely refused to make an explana-
ton Of his action.

children. While this represents the
actual number received much larger
number was handled, for altogether over
400 children were either received anew
or taken back from places where they
had been sent, because conditions were
not to the liking Of the society. Perma-

more than the society received during
the year. At the close of the fiscal year
the society had on hand thirty-two
children ranging in age from tiny babes
to children II years Of age. While the
