STBUBENVILLE, o., June 4.-At
midnight telephone inquiries made al
the various stations in Jefferson and
Belmont counties indicated thai
everything was quiet. Troops will ar
rive from Columbus tomorrow.
While various estimates have beer
made of the casualties 1t is impossible
to verify any reports of death, al
though it was known that ten or more
men were hurt.
1t is known that only one of the
wounded guards who fell into the
hands of the strikers was taken tc
Smithf1eld as a prisoner.
Ambushed by Strikers
The clash was the direct outgrowth
of the United States Coal company's
guards of IN italian miner from Pitts
burg on Sunday Early this morning
siXty-eight of the company's guards
started to march across the hills from
Plum Run to Bradley mine. and al
Crow Hollow were ambushed by a
force of 200 to 300 strikers.
In the battle that ensued several
hundred shots we're fired, but the
strikers aim was bad, which accounts
for the few casualties.
The guards were forced after twenty
minutes of fighting to retire in dis
order to Plum Run.

President Roosevelt today sent the
following message to the senate and
house concerning the report Of James
B. Reynolds and Charles P. Neill:
"To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
"I transmit herewith the report of
Mr.. James Bronson Reynolds and
Commissioner Charles P. Neill, the
special committee whom appointed
to investigate the conditions in the
stockyards of Chicago and report
thereon to me.
"This report is of a preliminary ma
ture. I submit it to you now because
it shows the urgent need of Immediate
action by congress in the direction Of
providing a drastic and thorough
going inspection by the federal govern
ment of all stockyards and packing
houses, and of their products so far as
the latter enter into interstate or for
eign commerce.
Conditions Are Revolving
1.-THE conditions shown by even this
short inspection to exist in the Chicago
stockyards are revolving. It is impera-
cency that they should be radically
changed. Under the existing law it is
wholly impossible to secure satisfac-
tory results
when my attention was first direct
ed to this condition an investigation
was made under the bureau of animal
industry of the department of agricul-
ture. When the preliminary state
ments of this investigation were
brought to my attention they showed
such defects in the law and such
wholly unexpected conditions that
deemed it best to have a further and
immediate investigation by men not
connected with the bureau, and ac-
cordingly appointed Messrs. Reynolds
and Neill.
Now Making Examination
"It was impossible under the exist
ing law that satisfactory work should
be done by the bureau of animal indus
try. L am now, however, examining
the way in which the work actually
was done. Before I had received the
report of Messrs. Reynolds and Nei1l
I had directed that labels placed upon
any package of meat food products
