 T found the general conditions at the stockyards to be good,a said Secretary Wilson tonight. And everything was evidently being hurried to place the entire yards in frst-olass condition and evident desire upon the part of all those in au- thority to comply with the laws fully.
 Tomorrow l will confer with some thirty government inspectors from various cities having packing industries. They come to Chicago at my request to receive instructions regarding the operations or the new inspection law, and to receive their instructions as to It's enforcement
 "The packers have agreed to comply with the law. I will also confer with the packers as to the time of putting the law into effect. They will have to make some changes in their operations to do this, and I am willing to grant them time In which to get ready. It should not require longer than two or three weeks, however"

WORKING HARD TO
 STOP REVOLUTION
Guatemalan Government Is Requiring Laborers to Be Drilled Daily In
 Military Tactics.

New Orleans, July 9.-The thoroughness with which the Guatemalan government IS preparing to put down revolution was described today by Sidney H. Broden- helm of Shreveport, La, manager Of the Sarston River Fruit company, who ar rived here from Guatemala. He said that on his plantation in Guatemala, where no revolution forces had appeared up to the time of his departure, all the native laborers were required once week to leave their work and proceed to central point. where together with laborers from other plantations they were drilled in mil- itary tactics.
 He said that in the present revolution ary movement one of the government difficulties appeared to be the secrecy with -.,tiob tba leaders of instructions work ed sometimes keeping their own identity completely obscured
