REVOLUTIONARY in NATURE.
Official Report of Disorders at Cana
nea, Mex.

nea, Mex.
Washington, June S. - Walter
Thompson, the American ambassador
to Mexico, has telegraphed the state
department in answer to instructions
relative to the Cananea disturbances
that the outbreak there was revolu-
tionary in character, fomented from
headquarters at St. Louis, Mo.
Mr.. Thompson was charged to re-
mind the Mexican authorities Of their
responsibility to care for the lives and
property of the American citizens at
Cananea and also to invite sugges-
lions as to how our government might
cooperate to that end His converse
ton with Minister Mariscal of the for
eign Office brought forth the state
ment from that official that a revolu-
tionary junta operating in st. Louis
seized upon the discomfort existing
among tho miners at Cananea to stir
up revolution directed against the
Mexican government itself. Mr.. Gal
braith, the American consular agent at
Cananea, and Colonel Greene, the head
OF the copper mines located there,
have also been in communication with
the state department relative to the
riots and the substance of their COM
munications is that the laborers'
wages had been reduced from an alb
normally high scale to the ordinary
Mexican basis, so the revolutionary
propaganda spread rapidly among the
disconnected miners.

steubenville, o., June 5.The first
conflict between the striking coal min
ers and the guards at the United
States Coal company mines occurred
early in the day. -Four men, two
guards and two strikers, were wound
ed. No one was killed. OF the injured
two will probably die. Eleven others,
all guards, are missing. It is supposed
that they have deserted.
+ The miners had prepared an ann
buscade for the guards In the woods
midway between Plum Run and Brad
ley mines and as the sixty-three armed
men, marching single file, came along
the narrow path miner ahead shot
in the air. At this signal the ESQ strfk-
ers who were hiding behind the rocks
and trees opened fire from the hill
sides on the guards In the hollow.
Guards Become Panic Stricken.
Many Of the latter at once broke
ranks and fed back to Plum Run, but
others stood their ground and re-
turned the fire. The battle lasted fif-
teen minutes. More than 500 shots
were exchanged and the firing only
ceased after the guards ammunition
had been exhausted. The guard then
retired from the field and returned to
Plum Run. = ~ :. .:9 ~ (; - !.

During all these processes there is no
government inspection, although these
products when sent out bear a label
stating that they have been passed
upon by government inspectors. The
report arraigns the sanitary pro-
visions in the buildings as abominable
and says the men and women plunge
their unwashed hands into the meat to
be converted into food products.

to ignore all considerations except the

products and of health and comfort Of
the employees is impossible and the
consumer consequently suffers. Tu-
berculosis victims expectorate on the
spongy wooden floors of the. dark
workrooms, from which falling scraps
Of meat are shoveled up to be later
converted into food products. Even
the ordinary decencies of life arescom-

discussing the arrangements for men
and women employees. The report
says: H. -s..-. -: $50 .,.4s.--
"The whole situation as we saw 1t
IN these huge establishments tends
necessarily and inevitably to the moral
degradation of thousands OF workers,

Washington, June 5.--The following
synopsis Of the report Of j. B. Rey-
nolds and Commissioner G. p. Neill to
the president on conditions In the Chi
cago stock yards has been submitted
70 congress by the president:
The report says that two and one.
half weeks were spent in the investi-
cation In Chicago, during which I'VE
went through the principal packing
houses In the stock yards district, to-
5gether with a few Of the smaller ones.
A day was spent by Mr.. Reynolds in
New York city In the Investigation of
its leading slaughter houses" The re-
port says that in many Of the rooms
where water is used freely the floors
are soaked and Shiny and the dark
and dingy rooms are naturally not
kept suitably clean. An absence Of
cleanliness was found everywhere In
the handling Of meat being prepared
for the various meat food products.
The parts that are sent from the cool
5tngroom to these departments where
various forms Of meat products are
prepared are handled with no regard
whatever for cleanliness. The work
5crs climb over heaps OF meat, select
the pieces they wish and frequently
throw them down upon the dirty floor
beside their bench. 2f s5y

DANGEROUS 70 HEALTH.

~ The report shows that the stock
yards and packinghouses are not kept
even reasonably clean and that the
method of handling and preparing
food products is uncleanly and dan
gerous to health, Under existing law
the national government has no
power to enforce inspection of the
many forms OF prepared meat food
products that are daily going from:
the packingho into Interstate com
nerce. Owing to- an mad Quate APP
preparation the department OF agricul-
ture is not even able to place in:spec.:
tors In all blishments desiring
them. The present law prohibits the
shipment OF uninspe cted meat to for
sign countries, but there is no pro-
vision forbidding the shipment Of un-
inspected meats In interstate com
merce and thus. the avenues of inter
state commerce are left open to traffic
In diseased Or spoiled meats, II, as
has been alleged on seemingly good
authority, further evils exist, such as
I the improper use of chemicals and
dyes, ne government lacks power to
remedy them "A new law Is needed
which viii enable the inspectors of
I the general government TO inspect and
supervise from the hoof to the can
the preparation 81 the meat food prod
uct. The evil seems to be much less
81 the sale Of dressed carcasses than
B Iii the sale of canned and other pre-
pared products and very much less as
regards products sent abroad than as
regards these used at home. 5 ssi
