will be money we'll expended
Thirty-two employees of the company
have been in its service for more than
one year and will be included in this
generous provision.

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS ARE OFF.
Strike Leaders Declare They Will No
Accept Packers Offer.

3 CHICAGO, July l6.-All chances of
peace in the packers strike has van.
ished for the time being at least. The
end OF nesoti ations came late today
after conference which lasted nearly
all Of the afternoon between three
leaders of the strike and number of
packers. The final break resulted
when the union officials insisted that
all the men who had gone out on
strike be taken back and given their
old placee. The packers declared
tn at this would necessitate the dis
; charge of all the men they had en-
| plOyed since the commencement of the
strike and they could not and would
not consider it.
ST. LOUIS, July 17.-There was no
change noticeable in the strike situa-
tion in St. Louis and East St. Louis
packing plants today. The engineers
and tiremen were the only men EN-.
ployed about the packing houses to-.
day. Michael Donnelly arrived from
Chicago today. He addressed mass
meeting Of the strikers in East St.
Louis city hall. Several thous and
men were unable to gain admittance.
President Donnelly received an ova-
ton. He said:
, 1--WE shall never again enter into
arbitration unless every man, woman
and child who has been disch arged or
who is out on strike has been returned
to their former positions without pre-.
Judice. This strike is only in it's in
fancy. 1t will be the most gigantic in
the history Of the country since the
coal strike. The meat strike affects
every working man. 1t enters into the
personal life of every home, for meat
is an absolute necessity. No riot
shall take place in Chicago or any
other center and the union offici ais and
the men must see to this even if they
have to stand insult to avoid it,"
At the conclusion of the meeting
President Donnelly, in an interview,
stated that according to inform alton
which he had received from John
Joyce, international secretary of the
union, the packers killed between 500
and LOCO cattle during the last week
as compared with $4,000 to 10000
head during the same period one year
ago.
''ln three months time,'' said Pres.
ident Donnelly, ''if the strike should
happen to last that long, the packers
cannot get skilled men sufficient to kill
over per cent. of the regular run of

Strike Affects Railroads.

CHICAGO. July 14.-From a fin ancial
viewpoint, probably no one outside
Interested is more seriously affected
by the sto"'. yards strike than the
railroads, particularly the lines oper-
ating east from Chicago. Fresh meat
is one of the heavy articles of ship
ment east from here and it takes a
higher rate than almost any class of
freight. An average Of POO carloads
Of fresh meat is shipped from Chicago
to eastern points and for export every
day. The remuneration to the rail-
roads averages Sl00 car, the rate
being A. cents per 100 pounds. The
business is pretty evenly divided
among the ten competing lines, and
amounts to $4,000 a day to the ten
railroads. Officers of the east bound
roads say that there has been ma.
terial falling oft in most shipments.
Beyond a distance of POO miles there
is not much fresh meat shipped from
west Of Chicago, the western markets
being supplied by the Missouri river
packing houses.

McDevitt Arrested for Gambling.

PORTLAND, Ore, July 13.-J ames
McDevitt who opened gambling
house in Portland last Monday was
arrested today with his dealers and
the place closed by order of the chief
of police. A few players who were in
the place were also taken to the police
station. McDevitt is said to be a
wealthy cattleman formerly of Teton
county, Montana. He is associated
with Frank Simons, formerly of Mis-.
soula, in whose premises the gambling
games were started.
McDevitt and Simons declare that
they will i'm peach the mayor and chief
of police if their place is not allowed
to run. They announce that they will
open as often as they are closed SO
long as other gambling houses are
allowed to operate. They have en-
gagged able counsel and will fight the
case to finish. Half a dozen large
gambling houses are in operation in
Portland. The mayor has declared
that they shall have a monopoly OF
the business and that all others who
attempt to operate will be arrested
and their paraphernalia destroyed.
McDevitt and Simons, after taking
advice from able,lawyers decided that
If others could run they could, and
proceeded accordingly.

Strikers Surround Packing Plant.

ST. PAUL, July 15.-A force of sew.
era] hundred strikers lined up in
front OF the main entrance of the Swift
Packing company's plant at South St.
Paul today and refused TO let the Office
force and other employees into the
building. The strikers had learned
OF the operation OF the plant and con.
cluded that the Office men must have
been employed on the killing floor,
and therefore determined to allow no
one to enter the grounds.
Mayor Little was appealed to by
the officers of the company. He con-
sented to lead office men in an effort to
get through the gates, but the strikers
refused to admit the mayor and party
Parleying followed for some time with
out results. The strikers said they
would allow the Office men to enter the
yards if the officials would give their
word of honor that the men would not
be employed except upon their regular
duties. The officials declare that
they did not feel called upon to give
any such pledge TO anybody, and
things were at standstill. 1t is ex-
pected that the governor will be asked
to send troops to the stocky ards.
