STRIKERS SEEM INCLINED

Show Bad Spirit When Packers Refuse Any
Offer Of Mediation...Some Desertions
From the Union.

CHICAGO, Aug. 12.--President Dom
nelly declared this morning that he re-
fusal OF the packers to listen to any
plan for mediation means that the
strike will be fought out to the last
ditch. He says the men will make no
recession from the stand taken.
The strike will be extended to cover
every class labor handling packers
house produce not only in Chicago but
all over the United States. Threats are
made that boycots will be ordered and
every possible measure taken to hinder
the packers running their plants on a
non-u union basis. I'VE are determined
to win this strike and we are going to
win It," said Donnelly. I'VE are pre-
pared for a long struggle and believe
the other unions and the general pub
tic will stand by us to the end"
Business Agent Kelly Of the market
drivers union h preparing plan to
care for deliveries to retailers but will
handle no supplies for packing houses

A crowd Of four hundred strikers at

Ntz Percc Democrats fight shy Of the lornon question

support to Mr.. Gooding for governor.
The organization then of our OPPOSE
tion was complete and no pressure
could be brought to bear to change the
results as forecast by the press reports
Of the 10th. l do not believe that Bur-
ton L. French transferred his Latah
delegation to Mr.. Gooding only with
deep regret on the part of the Latah
delegation.
'Nez Perce county was defeated but
not discredited. The fight was loyalty
made. We found that our candidate for
state treasurer had many staunch
friends in every part Of the state, and
had he made known to the people ear
lier in the campaign his wishes I be-
lieve that the nomination for treasurer
could have been secured for Nez Perce
county"
while Nez Perce county regrets to
see John T. Morrison defeated as the
nominee for governor we believe that
by the nomination of Mr.. Gooding the
republican party has a strong candi-
date in the race for the high executive
ONCE this fall. After the convention
closed we met Mr.. Gooding and he
wished US to state to the people Of Nez
Perce county that we need not fear Of
any franchise on the Clearwater river
and it's tributaries that would be det-
rimental to the vast growing timber
industry Of the state of Idaho. believe
him to be an honorable upright man, q
man Of decision and stamina. be-
lieve that the entire ticket nominated
is made up Of the best men of the

Fine Meeting at Foy Auditorium Yes
 terday-Boston Ladies' Symphony
 Wednesday.
 Despite the inclemency of the wealth CT a large audience listened to a very earnest address yesterday afternoon in Foy auditorium. It was delivered by Dr. F. A. M. Brown. A special musical programme was offered by the New Ha- ven Orchestral club and Carl A. Mears. The programme was one of the most thoroughly enjoyed of the season and furnished most valuable part of the meeting.
 Dr. Brown took for his subject ''The Man Without Home" He appealed to the men of the audience to put more Christianity into their lives. He spoke of the man who in his home relations is but a part of machine and does not make the home what it stands for. No matter whether man is in Chicago or New Haven, said Dr. Brown, he need not be without home If he bears the proper relations with his fellowmen and the world at large. The man without a homo" is the man who makes the conditions in which he lives such as take from his surroundings those joys which he should get from them. The man with the Christian life before him and a Christian past finds himself in the full enjoyment of home no matter where he is.
 The numbers played by the Orches- tral club were well rendered. William G, Haesche, Mus. B., conducted the or chestra as usual. The club played Re ligious March" Beyond the Gates of Paradise" and "The Prayer in the Chapel MT. Mears' songs were very effective. He was never heard to better advantage than yesterday. He sang Marsh,s Tn Thee, Oh Lord, Put My Trust" and Hiller's Lord, Whom My Heart Holds Dear"
