POSSIBLY GENERAL STRIKE.
CLOSED Shop" May Be Demanded in
Chicago Yards.

Chicago. March 2i.-The CLOSED
shop" may be demanded in the stock
yards, with the alternative of Il gener-
al strike. Notice has been served on
one packing firm that unless it aDan-
doned effort to disrupt the unions the
closed stoc would De called for and
that the $4,000 union men in the yards
would enforce the demand. Complaints
have been made to the officials of the
packing trades council that several of
the packers have hired men to create
discomfort among the unionists. Mi
chael Dolnelly. president of the ANAL
Gamated Meat Cutters and Butchers
Workme!i, investigated and says he
found the complaints well founded. the
unions in the stock yards recently
fohmed a close alliance. and some of
tch organizations have been preparing
all winter for fight. The present
agreements in the stockyards are Yer
bal, but wages and hours of labor are
fixed annually by committees repre-
senting the packers and the men.

says:
That the stOckmen of the West
backed 10y the powerful National Live
Stock Association mean to carry out
their project Of establishing an indie
pendent packing plant to fight the So
called beef trust is evidenced by the OPP
ton that has been taken upon the plant
ot Jacob Dold of Kansas City. This
option is HOW in the hands of Vice
Pres. l.. r. Wilson, and Treasurer w.
+. Plat Of the organization. according
to See. Charles +. Bartin of the associa-
ton. The Dold packing house has been
one of the strongest competitors of the
trust. It's capacity is sufficient to kill
1000 head of cattle, 4G00 hogs and as
many sheep daily. According to Mr..
Martin the capacity is great enough to
answer the business OF the stockmen.

Ills intended victin7s did rot wish TO

LEAVING LYNN.
Shoe Operatives Are Seeking
Work in Other Cities.
Said to Be a Large Demand for
Skilled Labor.
Machinery Nay Revolutionize Shoe
Manufacturing Business.

Lynn. Mass. March 24.-Meetings of
the striking and locked out turn work
mon we're held this morning and the
manufacturers association held Il gen
eral meeting for conference at which
reports were made. otherwise the sit
udtion IS unchanged though there are
persistent rumors of impending breaks
of individuay manufacturers from tbs,
assertion. Albion Bartlett is expect
ed to call his men back to to the turn
work room. Mr.. Bartlett says he is
not ready to discuss this. His old en-
ployes say they have been asked to
come to the factory this afternoon.
With the lockout have come agents
from shoe manufacturing firms in
other places seeking the always hard
to get turn workman. Already turn
workmen have begun to leave the city
for Salem. Haverhll, NeWburyport, st.
Louis, Philadelphia and Cincinnati.
This so far is confined to single mon
who expect to find work and send on
contributions for the support of their
married fellow unioniStS who will re-
main in Lynn. Word has been re-
cci"ed II Union headquarters that all
who want work can find it at st. Louis.
and that an agent will arrive here this
week to arrange for furnishing trans
portati0n to those who will go.
A likely outcome of the strike AMI
lockout If it is prolonged, is the intro
duction of turn work machinery in
Lynn factories. This machine. handI-
cd by the United shoe machinery COM
pary. has never been introduced gen.
orally. because of the strength Of the
unions. Lynn is now considered 4 GooI

and green hands can be taught to do
good work. il is claimed IN two days.

ceived from II factories. showing 1875
men out in those. Further factory re-
ports will be received. Friday. and
meetings will be held daily. Up to noon

city FOR situations elsewhere.

REPORTS ARE UNTRUE.
Athens Citizens Rightly Incensed at
Misleading Stories Circulated.

Athens. Ne. Mar. 2i.-(SpecaD.--
someW hat incenscd ut the exaggerated
and untrue reports recently cur
rent in some OF the newspapers
and elsewhere as to the general
condition of affairs here rela-
tive to the So-CIlled smallpox period of
this past winter. These reports would
tend to give the innocent reader Il false
idea Of the conditions. and make him
believe that Athens served as Il veritd-
bic smallpox pest house. that business;
was Mt n standstill. ana that the people
were divided into factions which were
at bitterest war with each other.
Happily. such is not the case. and ths
reports are not founded upon facts. as
can he shown by the following brief
statements. which in fairness to the
good rcopl" of Mime and the public of
Athens should he known. There Were
not over ten families quarantined at
amy one time. nor more than twenty
five il all. About sixty cases in all IF
smallpox, so called, We're reported.
These We're confined for the creates.
part to the children. and with two or
three exceptions We're very mild. 1t IS
true that business was dull for 4 few
days. but the merchants along the
street report it better today than ever
before.
II has been alleged that the members
Of the Ladies' Society got 50 wrought
up over the smallpox question that
they quarrelcd among themselves. This
report originated outside of this town.
ANA its untruth is proven by the fact
that the ladies' are on the very best of
terms with each other. There was new
rr 4 personal encounter among friends
\ few friendly arguments among the
llCn in the stores but served to cement
friendship the firner. That school VS.
rot III session is rrinra facia evidence
t"lt there was no trouble on accoun.
Of smallpox among the children At the
academy.
Finally. the best evidence that every
citizen has the best interests of the
town at heart lies in the fact that
Athens will celebrate her centennial
this summer. and big celebration is
now being planned for. Everybody il
taking hold to make the anniversary
the most memorable affair in the his
tori of the town.
