CREAMERIES IN STRUGGLE
Dairy Industry Soon to See Climax in
Contest Between Small Plants and
Hand Separators.

Jefferson, Wis, May 29-[Special. i
According to a well known creamery
owner in this county, things are present
ly coming to a climax in the dairy in
dustry of the county and state-in which
dairying is assuming widespread proper
tions-over the contest between larger
and smaller creameries for supremacy
The state, it is said, has recently been
thoroughly covered by hand-separator
companies who endeavor to sell farmers
contrivances by which they can separate
their own milk and sell the cream at
will, saving many trips to creameries.
The owners of the many smaller CO.
operative creameries say that in conse
quence of this they will have to shut up
shop, to the benefit of the large creamer
les They declare that in time
the big manufacturing establishments
will be able to control the prices of
cream, which may revert loss to the
dairy men.

CHICAGO STRIKE
IN THE COURTS.
Team Owners Summoned and Scene
Shifts to Federal and State
Benches.

Chicago, ILL.,, May 29.-The courts, fed
eral and state, are likely to be centers of
interest in connection with the transfers
strike for the next day Or two.
Developments of an unusual nature
in the hearing before United States Mas
ter in Chancery Sherman are looked for.
while the grand jury dragnet is expected
to reveal surprising facts regarding
graft" charges.
Sensation Is Expected.
A sensation in the federal injunction
proceedings was today said to hang upon
subpoenas issued for Arthur Dixon, lead
ing member of the Chicago Team Own
naugh, secretary of the same organiza-
ton. Their testimony, it was said would
form an important part Of an inquiry
into peculiar relations between the team
owners and the transfers unions, said
to have an important bearing on the con-
tinuance of the strike.
Employers leaning company expect
ed to add many drivers to it's list of nom
union teamsters today and make a spe-
cial effort to care for the lumber con-
Germs affected by the strike.
Additions to Strike Forces.
Additions to the strike forces were ex-
pected today when all the firms on the
hardwood lumbermen's association be-
gan to make deliveries to strike-bound
firms. There are twenty-five firms in
this association, employing about 125
teamsters. The drivers for twelve Of the
firms are on strike, and the others prob
ably will follow.
I'VE are going ahead with our deliv-
cries" said Theodore Fathauer, presi-
dent OF the association, land by night l
expect every driver in our line of bust
ness will have quit. We are ready to re-
place the union men Immediately with
non-union drivers and anticipate no de-
lay to our customers"
Some leaning Resumed.
Efforts toward a general RESUMPTION
of teaming in the lumber district met
with considerable success today. Non
union drivers We're put on the wagons.
AS a result, three of the larger firms
claimed to be doing business on a good
sized scale.
Efforts to involve the box manufacture
ers in the lumber dealers lockout move
ment against the teamsters have failed.
Secretary Henry Stevens of the Box
Manufacturers association said today:
There is no occasion for the box man
ufacturers to tie up their business. The
houses thus far affected by the strike are
about 4 per cent. of our customers"
A riot call was turned in from the
lumber district today when a disorderly
crowd began throwing sticks and stones
at a non-union driver whose wagon had
become stuck in the mud. Upon the ar
rival of the police the crowd fed. No
arrests were made and the driver was
unhurt

When the Garfield report on the

roundly denounced. After three
months Of publicity it is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
it have failed to controvert the figures
contained in that exhaustive document.
The public is beginning to notice this
omission, and the feeling is rapidly
growing that the sensational charges
out Of which the Beef InveStiga ton"
arose were without foundation. If the
official statements of the report are
susceptible Of contradiction, a good
many people are now asking why the
facts and figures are not furnished to
contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most OF
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tional assertions A fragrant example
of this appeared in a recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect that
'forty Iowa banks were forced to close
their doors in 1904 by the Beef
Trusts manipulation of cattle prices"
Chief Clerk Cox, of the banking de-
partment of the Iowa State Auditors
Office, has tabulated the list of banks
given in the magazine article and has
publicly denounced the statement as
utterly untrue. He gives separately
the reasons for each failure mentioned
and officially states that they have
been caused by unwise speculations
and by reckless banking methods. lie

Scene Of Greatest Naval
Battle IN All History.

Korea strait, where the great naval
fight took place, divides Japan and
Korea, and at the widest part is but
100 miles across. The Tsu islands,
near which the battle was fought lie
almost directly in the center of the
strait, opposite the southeastern corner
Of the Korean peninsula. The channels
between the Tsu islands and the main
land on both sides are variously named
in the maps. For instance, the strip
of water between the islands and Kaea
IS called the western channel, or
Broughton strait, while the passageway
nearest the Japanese shore is named
the eastern channel, or Krusenstern
strait.
On the Korean coast, north of the
Tsu islands, is Masampho, which the
Japanese have transformed into naval
stronghold while southwestward, on
the Japanese mainland, is Sasebo, an
other naval depot, and strongly forti-
fed.
