War ON BUTCHERS
Women Of New YOrk's East Side
Attack Neat Shops.
Prices Had Been Raised Two
Cents a Pound.
DUE TO THE PACKERS.
Was the Explanation offered b!
the Retailers.
Threatened Boycott May Close
400 Establishments.

New York, Nov. 3O.-A war on the
butchers of the East Side Ghetto has
been started by women residents of the
district as a protest against the high
price of meat. Recently the butchers
put up the price of meat two cents a
pound and in verbal explanation of the
act said the packers had again raised
the prices to the butchers and they had
to follow suit
It is an easy matter to create trou-
BILE among the excitable residents of the
Ghetto and the action of the butchers
was quickly resented. Housewives met
on the streets and discussed the subject
and from this it was but a step to form
Indignation meetings. Such a meeting
was held yesterday at the home of Mrs
Esther DelbObSky at No AZ East FOul tn
street. Nearly so women were prese Mt.
Mrs. Delbobsky told the women she
thought the prices of meat were out
rageous and advised a strike against
the butchers.
Mrs. Delbobsky and Mrs. Rebecca
Resenick went to a meat shop in the
Eeighborhood as pickets and immedi-
ately began addressing large com
pany OF women customers, advising
them to boycott the butchers. AS the
women cheered. the butchers became
excited and tried to disperse them. A
battle followed in which clubs were
used and various missiles thrown.
Mrs Delbobsky and Mrs. Resenick
We're struck in the face with sharp mis-
siles and both received serious cuts as
well as other injuries. Several other
women We're struck by stones and clubs.
The police We're called, but made no
arrests.
There were many small skirmishes in
the doorways Of many other east side
butcher shops Women with shaWls
pulled over their faces upset sidewalk
stands and broke open crates contain
ing live chickens.
Mrs. Rosa Menson, during a meat
shop commOtiOn on Madison street. ad-
dressed a crowd. Look she said,
what fools we are to buy meat when
fish is cheaper. Fish IS better than
meat. It is more nourishing."
In Second street Rivington street,
FCrsythe and Delaney streets groups of
women stood in front CT the butcher
shops declaring they would boycott the
butchers until prices came down. The
women would not permit any one to
enter the shops. AS night drew on
they marched in a body to the offices
of a Jewish newspaper and there
asked for newspaper aid in their fight
Fearing a repetition of the meat riots
of five years ago, when much property
was destroyed, the butchers have begun
organizing Louis Kirsch, president of
the organization declares the 1000
meat markets on the east side will be
closed rather than attempt to comba
a strike against them by the women
of the tenements. As a result of the
war on meat the fishmongers benea tn
the Williamsburg bridge and along
Delaney street did rushing business.

DULL MAY BE FREED.
Pardon Sought for Man Accused OF
killing Friend.

John E. Hessin of Manhattan today
presented to Governor Hoch the ap-
plication for pardon of George w.
Dull who is serving a 20 year term in
the state penitentiary for the murder
of DR.. E. w Roland at Herndon,
Thomas county. about five years ago
Dull has been four years in prison.
The application for the pardon was
also urged by George Green of st
Joseph, a travelling man, who is well
acquainted with Dull, and by Cyrus
Anderson, secretary of the state board
is in Thomas county.
The Roland murder is one of the
most mysterious affairs that ever took
place in the state Roland and Dull
were supposed to be the best of friends.
Their families We're intimate, and the
two men were considered to be espe-
cially chummy. There had been no
hint of trouble. so far as the public
knew. Dull kept a general merchan-
disc store. One morning, Roland came
into the store, and called Dull back
into a rear room. where feed and hay
was kept A few minutes later a
couple of pistol shots were heard in
the room. A clerk rushed out $pere
and found the dead body of Dr. Ro-
land When the clerk came back in
the store he found Dull sitting at his
desk, posting up his books He told
Dull that Roland was dead in the
back room, and Dull appeared much
surprised and rushed back tn ere to see
for himself.
Dull claims that he has no idea who
shot Roland, but the jury convicted
him on circumstantial evidence.

CAN'T Get CARS.
Carr Taylor Satisfied Railroads
Are Doing Best.
All Are Trying to Get More
Equipment.
WON'T BRING SUIT.
Satisfied That Conditions Can't
Be Improved Now.
Shippers Are Suffering and
There Is No Relief.
SUIT.

Carr Taylor, attorney for the state
board of railroad commissioners. who
has been considering the advisabiIity OF
starting an investigation about the
Kansas car shortage, has about
concluded that the railroad companies
are doing the best they can under the
existing conditions
The railroads. said Mr.. Taylor, have
placed orders for large numbers of al
ditional cars, and are trying in every
possible way to increase their equip
ment. This 1 believe to be the fact and
1 am also inclined to the opinion that
the companies are doing the best they
can with the equipment they have on
hand- The trouble is that they did not
start this extraordinary effort to get
new equipment soon enough They
should have placed their orders for ex~
ira cars long time ago. and been
ready for this rush
AS 1t is now, there is no doubt that
the car manufacturing establishments
are simply overwhelmed with orders for
their goods, and can not keep up with
the calls for more cars. Some of these
shops are said to be a year behind with
their orders. Consequently it is very
hard to see how there can be much re-
lief from present conditions until these
orders for new cars have been filled
Il know that the condition here in
Kansas is most serious. There Is a very
serious car shortage, and many shippers
are suffering because they can't get
their goods to market as promptly as
they should. If it seems possible to Sc
cure any relief for the shippers, I viii
start an investigation of some sort, but
1 don't know yet that it would be of any
great advantage
