shown sharply when more than 1000
women and children with baskets
surged about the two food supply de-
pots established by the union leaders
in Gross avenue and at Thirty-fifth

food for the clamoring throng at the

there had been a failure Of delivery,

Trick on the Strike Leaders.

Chicago, Aug. "a break from the
ranks Of the strikers was made when
400 Of the men who had quit work
deserted the unions and returned in a
body to the stock yards. The packers
say that the stampede from the strik-
ers' ranks which was predicted Satur-
day has begun. OF the 400 men who
returned 240 are skilled workmen en-
ployed as butchers and in the mechani-
Cal trades Of the yards. The remain
ing 100 are common laborers. Accord
ing to packers figures 25,526 employees
are now on strike, while 14,771 men
are working daily at the plants.
Deserving strike- Breakers Back.
Besides the return of 400 Of the strik-
ers there was another event that must
have caused Wroth among the strike
leaders. The 200 negro strike breakers
who were escorted from the yards un-
der union protection Saturday night on
the plea that they were going to quit
work returned to the scene of their
labors and laughed at the union lead
ers whom they fooled. The negro strike
breakers wanted to have a good time
over Sunday and one or two geniuses
among them concocted the scheme Of
telling the union leaders that they
were going to desert the packers. By
this means they secured safety outside
the yards.

What EpwOrth LeaguerS Say
AbOnt Amusement
Clause

Los Angeles, May 1.-THE amuse
ment clause question was introduced
by the Methodist conference this
morning in a petition presented by
the Epworth League of the Wyoming
conference. The petition said: "By
all means let the amusement clause
alone. We believe striking it out of
the discipline of the church to be a
death-blow to every virtue of the
church, and will be the opening door
to everything unholy." The petition
was signed by $500 leaguers and AZ
churches. The delegates are be-
coming restless, and believe that a
few leaders are wasting the time of
the conference on technicalities.
Dr. Kilgo caused the first cheers of
the 1904 conference by denouncing
in America, and demand
ing a unified church as the greatest
need of Christianity today. The
speaker was given the Chautauqua sa
lutte. Heresy charges against Garrett
