Vote in Chicago Resulted

Big MAJORITY AGAINST
Another Ballot Is Likely to Be Taken.
Over 1900 Men Have Been Given
Their Old Places--Some Believe
They Can Ges Better Terms by
Holding Out.

Chicago, Sept. 6.-The Allied Trades
Council issued a mandatory order to
az unions to vote on the question Of
declaring the strike off,
The ballot, already under way, is
80 far strongly favorable to ending
the imbroglio.
Anticipating that the vote would be
overwhelmingly in favor OF returning
to work, stampede of old employees
occurred at the yards, over 1900 men
being given their old places.
Packers took back men without
making any sort of agreements with
the unions.
The peace plans proposed for the
ending of the meat strike are be-
lieved to have been rejected tonight
but owing to the smallness of the
vote cast it is probable that another
ballot will be taken.
Chicago gave large majority in
favor of continuing the strike until
more concessions could be secured
from the packers. So did Kansas City

FIGHTING AT GAINESVILLE
RESULTS IN
l GLORIOUS VICTORY
For the Browns Under
General Bell.

Corps Headquarters, Gainesville,
Va, Sept. 6.-jWhen the manoeuvre
armies rested ON their arms at 3
o'clock this afternoon it was generally
conceded that the Brown force, under
the command of Brigadier General J..
Franklin Bell, had won great victory
Not only had the Blue force utterly
failed to pierce the line of the Brown
army, which is supposed to be on the
defensive, but the Browns had placed
several organizations of the Blues out
of action, captured Brigadier General
Theodore Wint a Blue brigade COM
mander, and Colonel Rogers, chief OF
the Blue cavalry, in addition to two
guns belonging to Blue battery OF
artillery. Under the rules of the man
oeuvres night fell at 3 o'clock this af-
ternoon. When the recall sounded TIE
two armies were actively engaged on
the right flank of the Brown army at a
place about three and a half miles
northwest of Gainesville.
General Grant early in the morning
made a feint on the left flank of the
Brown army which resulted in the loss
of four companies of the 74th New
York infantry and one company Of the
5th United States infantry. These
troops were very foolishly thrown
against the Brown lines and were the
oretically killed in about ten minutes.
1t developed later in the day, however,
that the main attack of the Blue army
would be against the right flank OF
General Bells forces at Belcher's farm
General Bell in some unaccountable
manner had learned of the approach OF
the Blues against his right and when
the troops of Grant arrived they found
the Brown army strongly entrenched
on a high hill overlooking the ap-
proach.
The big engagement of the day open
ed at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Once
again the historic hills of Virginia re-
sounded to the roar of artillery and
the sharp crack of musketry. The
Blues attacked in force, but were re-
were forced by the chief umpire to
abandon their position on the ground
that it was theoretically impossible
being within 800 yards of the opposing
artillery.
The Browns fired volley after volley
into the attacking troops and one after
another companies of the Blue infan
try were ruled out of action IS destroy
ed. General Bell, in person, conducted
the operations at Belchers farm and
at the close of the engagement ex-
pressed himself as being greatly salts
fed with the days work which has re
suited so satisfactory to his army. O.,
The Blue army being the attacking
force, had, of course, much the harder
position. The forces were equal in the
engagement but the Browns had the
great advantage of position and prox-
unity to their base.
Tomorrow the same problem will be
continued. The 7th United States cav
airy greatly distinguished itself today
Besides capturing General Wint, 1t

Totals 5 220 2 800
It was at first believed that the
peace plans had carried but late to-
night 1t was announced by the strike
officials that the voters of New York
and st. Joseph could not be counted
as there was no official record of them.
3 The fact that only 1000 of the 10000
strikers had voted was not considered
a satisfactory exhibition of opinion.
The question of another vote will be
considered tomorrow.
The remarkable feature of the vot-
ing was the small percentage of mem
bers who cast their ballot. 1t was
estimated tonight that less than 20
per cent of the membership had voted.
In Kansas CITY, for instance only 400
voted while there are 10000 on strike.
The vote cast in Chicago is also ex-
ceedingly small
Nearly all the Chicago unions gave
majorities against ending the strike
on the basis submitted by the general
executive board of the Butcher Work
men.
One of the surprises of the day
was the refusal of the live stock hand
lers and coopers to vote at all. They
held animated meetings but finally ad-
journed without registering their
opinion on the proposed basis of set
tlement.
After the unions had voted the blank
sheets containing the results were
sealed In envelopes and will not be
made public until tomorrow morning
At 8 o'clock the canvassing board
will meet and canvass the vote. The
result will be reported to a meeting
of the allied trades conference board
at 10 o'clock and at 2 o'clock the
union will be notified. AS soon as
the result is known President Don
nelly will notify the unions in other
cities.
Around all meeting places great
crowds assembled during the day At
Forty-seventh street and Ashland ave-
nue. several hundred strikers discussed
the proposed peace plans while await
ing for their respective unions to
meet. The sentiment was strongly
against calling the strike off. The
frequent statement was made: 1--WE
Z have been on strike eight weeks and
must get some concessions from the
!. packers before we return"
The beef luggers met at Q o'clock
After the terms upon which the strik
could be ended were read several
speakers declared against them. Every
one spoke in favor of continuing the
strike. The speakers all declared that
the packers were beaten and that the
strikers should hold out until more
important concessions were made.

When alighting from a Stark Elec-
tric car at the intersection of Virginia
avenue, Miss Regina Hill fell and was
painfully injured. She was the first
passenger to alight and in so doing
stepped on loose ground on the bank of
Shriver's run. The ground gave way
throwing Miss Hill into the water.
With the aid of her companions she
climbed up the bank and proceeded on

that the ligaments in her left arm
had been torn and that she had sus-

There is no record that any such or
der as "Put none but Americans on
guard was issued by Washington.
Those who quote 1t do not know when
1t was supposed TO have been issued.
But 1t is a fact that on April 80, 1777,
in an order issued at Morristown, N. j..
for recognizing the improperly called
"Washington's bodyguard" he did say
that he thought that men having an in
terest in the country would be less
likely to prove traitors than foreigners.
The order continued, You will. there
fore, send me one but Americans"
Washington directed that this prefer
ence for Americans should not be made
known. as he feared it might excite
the many foreigners in the army.-Ex-

Striking Printers Enjoined

Boston, Feb. IA temporary injunc-
ton against the International Press
mems and Assistants Union was issued
yesterday by Justice Boring in the SUI
preme judicial court of Massachusetts.
The defendants are restrained from
bringing about a systematic strike
among pressmen in connection with
the prevailing contest of the job COM
positors against members of the Unit
ed Typothetae of America in this city
for a new wage scale.
The court also ruled that the COM
positors' union must not pay strike
benefits to those who already have left
for other reasons than for their W
benefit, holding that such a step would
be illegal.
The oder stopping the distributor
of strike benefits is said to be with
out precedent in the state, If not in the
country.
