Chicago.-There has been in the last
few days a falling off OF about one
third in the business of some depart
ments at the stock yards, especially in
the canned goods departments and in
the sale of questionable meat.
This falling off has resulted in the
loss of millions of d~ollars-some men
In close touch with affairs at the yards
say the trade has fallen off $4,000, 900
within ten days. This loss has fallen
most heavily upon the small packing
and slaughtering houses in the neigh
borhood of the yards, where the poorer
grades of meat are handled. There
also has been a large loss in Fulton
Market and in South Water street.
Building inspectors said that in some
of the plants sixty per cent. of the en-
ployes had been laid off.
The trade in lumpy jaw cattle is
practically at a standstill, and those
who have been watching the receipts
Of such cattle at the stock yards say
that not more than a dozen animals
have been received here during the
week.
Building Commissioner Bartzen an
nounced that he would order the pack
ers and the Union Stock Yards and
Transit Company to make improve
ments, the estimated cost of which will
be $1,000,000. His notices will demand
that the packers let contracts for the
improvements within five days.
Sanitary Inspector Hedrick declares
that the packers are showing every in
clination to meet his suggestions and
clean up. The employees in the meat
cutting room of Nelson Morris & Co.
are to have clean aprons every day, as
a result Of one of these suggestions.
1t is estimated by a representative Of
the packers that nearly 5000 visitors a
day go through the plants ct the stock
yards. Among them a few days ago
was Robert II. Cowdrey, who was can
didate for President of the United
States on the Single Tax ticket in 1883.
He arraigned the packers for bringing
foreigners of a low order of intelligence
into the country.
what do these fellows know about
keeping themselves clean?" he asked.
MANY of them never saw a towel be-
fore"
A story was related to the effect that
when cuspidors were provided in the
packing houses the laborers shined
them up and put them on a shelf for
use as drinking cups.
Runors to the effect that new stock
yards, with Sir Thomas Upton, of Lon
don, as chief hacker. are to be estab-
lished near Gary, nd, adjacent to the
property Of the United States Steel
Corporation, were IN circulation. Sew
eral of the best known real estate men
in Chicago were named as among those
acquiring land for the purpose.
The report is that at least six of the
smaller plants are to be removed from
Chicago to Indiana. 1t is said that the
plans include the digging of a canal to
the Little Calumet River for the pur-
pose of carrying off disinfected and
deodorized refuse. The story is not
generally credited.

IMPLEMENT MEN

DRAFT RESOLUTIONS TO SEND
TO WASHINGTON
Ask Revision of Tariff to Break Up
luxurious Combine"-Promi-

Sign Petition
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. ia bitter war
which ultimately may have far-reach-
ing effect on the manufacturing inter-
ests was precipitated yesterday when
a number of farming machinery COM
panies openly declared their intention
to fight against the trust" prices and
methods of the iron and steel combine
of the United States.
Their first move was to draft a petit
ton appealing to President Roosevelt
and congress to aid them in their eff
forts to obtain just treatment at the
hands of thu steel monopoly
The petition calls on the authorities
at Washington to curb the power of
the trust and to make some new tariff
provision which will break up the I'm
furious" combine.
1t has been signed by prominent i'm
plement manufacturers throughout the
country.
The declaration of war is the outcome
of a quiet meeting of the heads of
farming machinery concerns, which
was held {. few days ago in this city.
1t was decided then that something
must be done to curb the powers of
the st -el trust in order to save the
smaller implement makers from ruin.
1t was the opinion of several MN
that the farming interests of the coun-
try were imperiled by the monopolistic
nature of the iron and steel business
| According to the petition to be sent
| in few days to Washington, the prices
of iron and steel are so high at pres
ent that manufacturers of farming
tools are unable to carry on their bust
ness with profit.

condemned the action Of the depart
ment in suspending the law.
IF we have violated the law, 7 am
sorry for It," said Secretary Hitchcock.
But my only motive was IN the inter-
est Of the Indians and because I desired
to accommodate the secretary of agri-
culture"
Turning to Secretary Wilson, SEN
ator Long said:
I'VE want to know under what att.
thority you requested the withdrawal
OF these lands from ALLOTMENT"
II never looked at an authority" re-
piled Secretary Wilson. "I made up
my mind that we had a better propo-
sition for the Indian than to turn his
land into game preserve. The right
to withdraw the land was a matter for
the lawyers of the interior department
to pass upon. We made an inVestiga-
ton and then a recommendation"
Chief Forester Pinchot was called TO
the stand and after he had explained
the situation members of the committee
declared emphatically that he could not
hope to get his plan through congress.
He was told also that his request
had been out of place, inasmuch as IL
suggested violation of the law.
Secretary Hitchcock should not take
so minutes in telegraphing an order to
the territory to permit the allotments
to proceed" concluded Senator Teller

the committee declined to accept it and
Senators Clark of Wyoming, Teller and
.sBrandegee declared that the interior
department has suspended a statute of

land that it was the duty of Secretary

The same senators said to Secretary
'Pinchot that it was their duty to re-
!quest the secretary of the interior TO
suspend the order.
: Planned Forest Reserve
:. The order Withdrawing the land from
allotment was issued early in the pres
cent month. The purpose was not stat
led publicly at the time, but it developed
during earlier inquiries by the COM
smittee that the department of agricul
tture planned to create a forest reserve
within the withdrawn lands which
.,would contain about 100000 acres.
= These lands have been purchased
Sfrom the Indians under some plan in
,:order to be held and an appropriation
from congress would be required.
= The committee determined to call for
AN explanation from the heads of the
two executive departments responsible
for the Withdrawal.
: Secretary Hitchcock when called to
Ithe stand said that he had asked the
forestry bureau, a division of the agri-
cultural department, to report of a re-
quest of Jack Gordon of Paris, Tex, and
associates, that they be permitted to
buy 100000 acres for a game preserve
and that in making an adverse report
.the forestry bureau asked for the with

was only temporary
You have no right to suspend the
reservation of a statute one hour nor

Mr.. Hitchcock said that the request
of Secretary Wilson had prompted his
action.

CALLS HOLIDAY
RECESS 'IDIOCY'
CONGRESSMAN OBJECTS TO.
ADJOURNMENT
Says Legislation Is damned Through
Under Whip and Spur During
Closing Days, Admit
ting of "Jobs"
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. - In the
house today Representative Lacey of
Iowa took a pronounced position in OPP
position to the adjournment of con-
gress for the Christmas holidays, de-
claring that ut is idiotic for the house
to adjourn and then jam all legislation
through under whip and spur during
the closing days"
The expression was called out i'm con-
nection with the discussion of a reso-
luton looking to an increase for the
enrolling force of the house Mr.. Fitz-
gerald of New York had just concluded
a speech in opposition to the resolution,
in which he had sharply criticised the
mistakes in appropriation bills made at
the close of the last session. Mr.. Lacey
declared that, owing to the policy of
holding the principal work on the APP
preparation bills until the closing days
of the session, the enrolling clerk had
worked forty-eight hours in succession,
and he contended that under such cir
cumstances mistakes were to be ex-
pected.
Mr.. Clark of Missouri declared that
the statement made by Mr.. Lacey
about the idiocy of adjourning for the
holidays was the most sensible thing
he had said for the past twelve years"
Speaking of appropriation bills, Mr..
Clark said he believed 1t would be #
wise thing if rule were adopted pro-
hibiting the passage of any appropria-
ton bill later than five days before the
adjournment of congress.
He thought the "unseeml'- jobs that
creep into appropriation bills during
the closing hours of congress would be
by such a rule"
Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota, chairman
of the committee on appropriations,
asked Mr. Clark to specify some of
the Jobs" that had got into appro-
priation bills during the closing hours.
Well" replied Mr.. Clark, Il will get
some specific jobs and bring them in
here for the gentleman's edification,
and l will make a speech, too"
On division the absence of quorum
was disclosed, Mr.. Clark leading the
fight against the resolution on the part
of the Democrats. The house then adj
journed.

There is no question as to the
murder and the attempted murders;
there is no question that some of the
soldiers were guilty thereof; there is
no question that many of their COM
rades privy to the deed have combined
to shelter the criminals from justice.
These comrades of the murderers,
