Three Other Men Are Over

Special Dispsssa to The call.


VIRGINIA, New, July 19.-It was de-
cided to make an attempt this after
noon to examine the fire damaged
Union shaft through the drain tunnel
on the 16O-foot level, and Joseph
Mcdonald, Jack Richards, william
Byrne, Sol. Martin and George VIII
liams were assigned to the task. The
men had proceeded but a short dis
tance into the shaft when Mcdonald
uttered a cry of distress and Foreman
Jones and others rushed to his assist
ance. A strong Odor of gas told too
plainly what had happened. McDOn-
aid was hurried out into the air, but
life was extinct. Richards, Byrne and
Martin next succumbed TO the deadly
gas and were dragged into the air with
great difficulty and at great risk to the
lives of those who effected their rescue.
Physicians were quickly summoned
and they adopted heroic measures to
revive the men. After a long struggle
the asphyxiated men showed signs of
life and soon afterward regained con-
sciousness.
1t was thought that no danger Iurk-
ed in the tunnel and the men went into
it confidently. The gas was generated
by. the fire OF last Thursday. The
death of Mcdonald is particularly sad.

CRISIS WILL COME TO-DAY.

CHICAGO, July 19.-The crisis in
the stockyards strike will come to-
morrow afternoon. The allied trades
unions in the stockyards, which are
certain to become involved in the con-
troversy if it be not soon settled, held
conference this afternoon and at it's
conclusion a letter was sent to the
packers asking for & joint conference
between representatives of the strik-
ers, the packers and the allied trades,
to see if a settlement could not be
reached. Tonight there was nobody
who would say that the packers would
agree to the conference and it is i'm
possible to say with certainty that the
meeting Will be held.
Arthur Meeker, manager of the Ar
mour Company, speaking for the 9TH
tablishment, said that he would send
reply to the letter in the morning
He declined to say what the nature
of the reply would be.
Bread and ice are to be distributed
to needy families in the stockyards
district. In this way the packers are
to help the wives and children of the
strikers. This plan was announced by
Co., in the following statement:
1T having come to the notice of the
packers that the families of their for
mer employees, now on strike, are in
need of bread and ice, Superintendent
Crosby of the stockyards station OF
the Chicago Board of Charities was
Immediately notified that a carload of
ice and 1000 loaves of bread were at
his disposal for distribution daily
among those in need of help, with the
understanding that further assistance
OF the same character would be rem
dered if necessary"
Weary of the turmoil and hardships
encountered while struggling for a liv-
ing in the face of strikes and lockouts,
sixty-two families of the strikers left
Chicago this afternoon to return to
Austria-Hungary. There they will re-
ceive less pay. they say, but their en-
ployment will be more steady and de-
void of peril.

TWO YOUNG CHILDREN
ARE BURNED TO DEATH
Hotel at SusanviIle Is Destroyed By
Fire and Little Ones Perish in
the Flames

RENO, New. July 1.-two young
children. one the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Laparry of this city; the other
the son of K. r. Miller and wife of
SusanviIle. met death to-day in a fire
al Susanville. The Humphrey Hotel
at that place was entirely destroyed
and the little ones perished in the
flames. To the efforts of an unknown
man is due the fact that the bodies
were saved from cremation. When
the big building was a mass of flames
it was learned the children were
asleep in one of the rooms on the sec
ond floor. After plunging into water
trough to saturate his clothes the man
rushed into the burning building and
to the room. On the bed he found
the children dead from suffocation.
The room was a mass of flames by
that time, but the unknown did not
turn back until he had secured the
Iifeless forms. A moment afterward he
rushed into the open air almost ex-
hausted but with the bodies upon his
shoulder.

SWIFT IMPORTS
NEGRO WORKMEN
Colored Strike Breakers Ar
rive at South Omaha to
Work in Packing Plants
GUARDED BY POLICE
Union Pickets Attempt NO
Violence Toward Men Who
Will Take Their Places
GUARDED BY POLICE

OMAHA. July 19.-Protected by a
large force of special police officers,
armed with revolvers and clubs, and
butchers. who looked sullenly on, 200
negro strike breakers were unloaded
from two Missouri Pacific cars at noon
to-day and taken into Swift's packing
house. The negroes were recruited in
East st. Louis and other points farther
south.
When the train stopped near the low
er end of the Swift plant, a few pick
cts were about and a large number of
strikers quickly gathered and watched
the men march into the house. The
strike leaders declare that they had in
formation that these men were COM
ing and were hoping to intercept them
and persuade them to return, but the
thirty special police officers guarded
the negroes so closely that they could
not get near to them. The leaders say
also that the number of negroes i'm
ported is greatly exaggerated by the
Swifts.
Another consignment of thirteen ne
groes arrived by trolley car from Oma-
ha this afternoon, assigned to the
Armour plant. When the car stopped
opposite the Armour plant crowd of
500 persons had gathered and the po-
lice were powerless to prevent the
negroes being spirited away. Only one
of the gang got into the works.
The packers this morning notified the
committeeman that if police protection
were sufficient they could handle 1900
cattle and 5000 hogs daily. A special
meeting of the Livestock Exchange
men was accordingly called and COM
mittee appointed to wait upon the Fire
and Police Commissioners.
This evening the committee met the
commissioners, who decided 10 make an
effort to supply further protection.
1t is reported here that the mechani-
cal workers in Kansas City and Sioux
City will not go out tomorrow, if or
dered, as they are satisfied with their
present wages. In Omaha the new
scale was adopted for the firemen quite
recently, but the best information is
that if the strike is ordered the men
will walk out to help the general move

MAYOR is AUTOCRATIC.

ST. PAUL, July 19.-With the excep-
ton Of the repudiation by the Butchers
Union officials of nominal control of
the blockade at the Swift packing
plant, there was little change in the
situation at South st. Paul to-day. The
women stenograDhers and several of
the leading officials of the Swift Pack
ing Company were the only persons al
lowed to pass the picket lines, and all
efforts to recruit the force of men who
have been in the plant for several days
were apparently successfully resisted.
The retirement of the union officials
was evidently brought about to head
on the threatened injunction proceed
ings against them. The move, how
ever, had little effect on the vigilance
of the pickets and the persistence of
the. blockading forces, except that it
made their attitude more defiant and
less conservative.
General M. D. Flower, president of
the Union Stockyards Company, was
peremptorily ordered to leave the vi
cinity of the Swift plant to-day by
Mayor Lyttle of South st. Paul
Flower had angered the Mayor by
demonstrating on account of the lack of
deputies, whereupon the Mayor resent
ed Flowers "hot-headed interference. -
and ordered him out of town. Flower
did not leave.
One of the strikers was arrested for
suggesting that the crowd lynch
Charles Fitch. former Mayor of ST.
Paul and now president of the South
St Paul Commercial Club.

tween the Governor and committee OF
strikers, it is said. the strikers prom
ised to declare the blockade OF to-
morrow morning.
