KANSAS CITY PACKERS
WORSE. THAN CHICAGO
Donnelly Says Conditions in Kan
sas City Plants Are as Bad
as in Chicago.
President Of Amalgamated Meat
Cutters Says Charges Against
Packers Are True.

KANSAS CITY, June 20.-Special-
The exposures made by Labor Com
missioner Charles P. Neill regarding
conditions In the Chicago packing
houses have been the main subject
discussed by everyone the past week.
Workmen who have been in the Chi
cago packing houses say the printed
reports have not told half the truth.
Michael Donnelly, president of the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters union, was
interviewed in Chicago Tuesday. He
is undoubtedly the best posted man in
the United States on the packing hous-
es OF the country, having visited them
all and given a close investigation of
each.
President Donnelly said, in the course
Of the interview:
"The Federal report on packing
house conditions contained no revela-
tions for me. know the charges are
true, and have been long familiar with
the terrible conditions.
II don't understand, though, why the
investigation Is confined to Chicago.
1.-The conditions are just as bad in
Kansas City, and in some places they
are much worse than in Chicago.
TN South Omaha conditions are al
together worse than in Chicago.
The real cause Of the Investigation
was the abundance Of diseased meat
Put out, in the 1904 strike Negroes
were put to work without possessing
any conception Of the work, or idea of
cleanliness"
When told Of the charges made by
President Donnelly of the Amalgamat-
ed Meat Cutters and Butchers union,
as relating to conditions in some re-
spects being worse here than in Chi~
cago. the managers Of the Kansas City
packing establishments refused to dis
cuss Donnelly's statements.
Hurry-up orders were issued to clean
up the local plants and the employees

that the rule against expectorating e

BY Unanimous Vote, and Amid
Great Cheers Union Labor De-
clares for Declaration of New
Political Independence to Take
Immediate Effect.

The expected happened at the late
convention of the Minnesota State
Federation Of labor at Saltwater. With
a unanimous vote the delegates de-
cided to take political action, and
committee was appointed to draft a
platform and outline a method for
going into politics which would guar
antee the security of the trade union
movement in the state.
1t was decided to only work in the
legislative field during the coming
election. Proper safe guards were
thrown around the political organiza-
tion to preserve the integrity of the
| movement.
The first report Of the committee
contained the plan Of organization, af-
ter which the platform was submitted
both are as follows:

to keep the economic and regular ad-
