PACKER TALK.
Discuss the Strike Situation I'm ReIa-
3 ton to the Public.

Chicago, July 13.-Loufs f. Swift,
president of Swift & Co, was asked as
to the probable effect of the strike
upon prices of meat throughout the
country and regarding the stocks on
hand. He said:
''It is too early to say definitely. I
do not expect that there will be any
serious scarcity in the supply of
meats. We have some men working
in all of our departments and are
shipping products freely. Prices will
not be materially advanced. L believe
a normal condition of affairs will
speedily be restored. In any event
the supply of fresh meat throughout
the country is sufficient to last 1 5 to
20 days, and there is enough cured
meats-hams, bacon, etc.-to last six
MONTHS
81 think said ]. P. Lyman, presi-
dent of the National Packing COM
pany, which includes the Hammond.
Anglo-American and Continental
companies, that the stock on hand is
sufficient to avert so-called famine
for two or three weeks. L do not see
why there should be any material
change in prices, but the natural ten
dency will be for a little advance
Arthur Meeker, of Armour & Co,
said: I'VE have a week or ten days
supply of meats on hand here, at
branch houses and en- route and we
are slaughtering and operating our
packing plants but on a reduced scale.
Temporarily prices will be somewhat
higher
In Chicago porterhouse steak has
advanced two cents a pound, pork
chops = cents. and other meats in
proportion One large retail butcher
said II was not unlikely that there
would be a further advance unless the
strike was soon settled
BY noon every packing house in the
stock yards. it was claimed. had men
at work Unemployed men in consid-
erable numbers fiocked to the stock
yards and applied for employment
The strikers standing about the en-
frances to the yards offered no oppo-
sltlon. All competent appearing ap-
plcants were at once hired and put

SANTA FE HAS A PLAN.
VIII Try to Prevent Delay of Traffic
by Floods.

Extensive improvements on the Santa
Fe are under consideration to prevent
delay in the traffic during the floods and
the high water which has in recent years
caused the Santa F'e so much annoyance
on the Southern Kansas division and on
the cutoff from Kansas City to Emporia
by way of Ottawa.
With the appointment of c. A. Morse
to be assistant chief engineer of the San
ia Fe, estimates on the cost of contem-
plated improvements are to be taken and
compiled at once and submitted upon
which showing an appropriation will be
asked for to cover the cost of the work
1t is planned to raise the roadbed at
all points where the road crosses the
Neodesha, Marias des Cygne, Verdigris
and other rivers and creeks where trou-
BILE is experienced during a time of high
water.
Surveys are to be begun at once at
these points with the view of getting
estimates of the cost of the proposed
work.
The undertaking will prove costly to the
Santa Fe, but such serious inconvenience
has been undergone during the period of
high water during recent years that it is
deemed advisable to take steps to pre-
vent the annual recurrence of waShoutS
at all points where it is possible to pre-
vent it.
