Unions to Be Exempted

CHICAGO, August 17-Every union
workngman and woman In the country.
about three million, according to leaders of
organized labor, is to be asked to contrib
ute to the support of the packing house
strikers. President Donnelly of the butcher
workmen. said today that appeal
had been sent to all the labor unions in
the United States asking them to help pro-
vide funds. President Samuel Gompers Of
the American Federation Of Labor, Dom
nelly said, would be asked to make an ap-
peal for funds
Preparing for Long Struggle.
1t seemed apparent today that the labor
leaders had given up all immediate hope Of
peace through any action of the packers
and were making financial preparations for
a long struggle. 1t was said to be improba-
BILE that any attempt would be made to ex-
tend the strike to unions not already in
volved. One. chief reason for this Is that
the unions not already out are said to be
not anxious to strike, but the reason the
strikers give is that the more men that
are on strike the smaller will be the con-
tributions to the benefit fund.
Police to Suppress Picketing.
Reports that union leaders were planning
to send out more pickets to watch for 'un-
fair" handling of meat caused activity on
the part of police officials today. 1t was
said that 800 more pickets would be put on
duty in the stock yards district, about mar
kets and in the streets near packers
branches. This. 1t was said. would enable
the unions to induce more Transfers to re-
fuse to handle unfair meat Mayor Har-
rison held a conference with Chief of Police
ONeill on the question of providing more
policemen where pickets were to be on
duty.

MEETINGS GROW

Revival Services at the Bap.
fist Church Producing
Results.

The revival meetings now in
progress at the Baptist church
are developing in interest. The
attendance last night was much
increased over the night before.
Rev. A. b. Peterson, the pastor
Of the Crookston Baptist church
is the speaker. Last evening he
took for his subject "The Look
That Saves" He argued that
the way of salvation is very
plainly stated in the Scriptures
and it is so simple that all can
understand it. The invitation is
stated as being to come to open
the hearts door, or to believe;
either of which is easily possible.
But to say that salvation is to
be had from a mere look to Christ
upon the Cross is simpler than
this, and leaves none with a suffi-
Gent excuse for not being a
Christian. The song service to-
night begins at 7:3O O'clock.

Statements Bearing Presi-

From Newspaper Editorial

NEW YORK, Sept 28.-The letter al
legged to have been received by Mich
ael J. Donnelly, the leader of the meat
strike, purporting to be one sent by
President Roosevelt, was copied from
an editorial in the New York Evening
Post of August l. The Evening Post
says to-day:
The letter appeared as an editorial in the
Evening Post Of August l and was explicitly
stated to be a letter which the President
MIGHT have written with advantage to
himself and the country
In other words, 1t confessedly imag-
mary letter written for the sake of bringing
out certain truths in regard to the meat strike
The Evening Post also says:
We had no tholght, of course. of being able
to make a presentable imitation of the
Presidents literary style. and as the article
was at the time commented upon and repro
duced somewhat extensively in the press, we
never dreamed of its ever coming to figure az
a campaign forgery.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S-Secretary
Loeb tonight made public a dispatch
from United States District Attorney
Bethea at Chicago, regarding the letter
purporting to have been addressed by
President Roosevelt to Michael Donnel-
ly of Chicago, president of the Butch
ers and Meatcutters' Union, and Sc
verely arraigning labor unions The
dispatch says that Donnelly received
no such letter. The telegram follows:

ceived no such letter that referred to in
the morning papers, and expressed his desire
to find the person who first printed It as a
in his power to counteract its extended effects.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. ,2S.-When the Rus
sian exhibit in the Varied Industries
building at the Worlds Fair was open
ed to-day it was discovered that sew
eral valuable oil paintings of Emperor

been stamped upon.
The vandalism was reported at once
to the exposition authorities and an
investigation ordered.
Every effort is being made by both
the exposition authorities and the ex-
hibitors to discover the guilty person
or persons.
