THREAT TO PACKERS
CHICAGO TRANSFERS TO STRIKE,
UNLESS WAGES ARE RAISED.
Packers Say They Fear Rap from
"Big Stick" IL They Should Get To-
Meat Rapidly Soaring.

If a mutton chop is worth cents
more pound than two years ago is a
teamster worth cents an hour more
in wages?
Substantially this proposition was
put to the Chicago packers Monday
by the Packing House Drivers union,
the members Of which have voted to
go on strike next Saturday unless
their demands for better pay are
granted. Retail prices of meat were
quoted by the teamsters to show that
their demands are justified by the in
creased cost of living.
George f. Golden, business agent Of
the union, called up Stephen Conway,
superintendent of Armour & Co. over
the telephone in the morning
"Mr. Conway, what is the retail
price Of mutton chops today?" in
quired Golden.
They are selling at % cents a
pound in the markets." was the an
swer.
THAT is about cents q pound
higher than two years ago. Steaks
and roasts also are higher, are they
not?" asked Golden.
Yes they are higher" said the SUI
perintendent.
''Then / have to inform you, Mr..
Conway" said Golden, that your
teamsters voted Sunday that mas
much as living expenses have in
creased practically 25 per cent we
cannot work any longer unless we re-
ceive an advance in wages of 10 per
cent"
Golden told about the same story to
representatives OF the other packing
houses. They thanked him without
indicating what will be done in the
matter. 1t is believed they will at.
tempt compromise.

f. II. Hartman Given Treatment ut

That f. H. Hartman, the railroad
magnate, is immune from criminal
prosecution as the result of his testi-
mony before the interstate commerce
commission in New York recently,
that the question of prosecution OF BIZ
luminous coal carrying railroads
should be left in the hands of the at
torney general and that prosecution
Of the anthracite coal roads will be-
gin in Philadelphia probably next
week, were conclusions reached at a
notable conference held at the White
House Friday night.
The Hartman case and the cases
of the coal carrying roads were dis
cussed for three hours by President
Roosevelt the five members of the
cabinet, two members Of the interstate
commerce commission and special
counsel FOR the government.
Following the general conference
Attorney General Bonaparte remained
with the president TO discuss the So
called harvester trust. 1t is thought
not unlikely that the question of the
prosecution of that organization will
be left in the attorney generals hands.

TOXIC JINGOEs BUSY.
Powerful Faction Plots for Strife with
America

That the Japanese of the Pacific
coast and the progressives, a political
party of Japan, have entered into an
alliance which has the earmarks Of
an international conspiracy with the
overthrow of the present ministry in
Japan and the annulment of the
clause in the immigration bill exclud-
mental United States as the ultimate
objects, was learned authoritatively in
Washington Sunday. The preliminary
steps in this scheme 1t Is said, will be
to induce the Toxic government to re-
call Discount Aaki, the Japanese am
demand an apology and perhaps an in
demnity from this government for the
alleged acts of violence against Japan
csc subjects residing in San Francisco.
With this end in view representa-
tives Of the faction hostile to the
Saionji ministry have been in Wash
ington to consult with the Japanese
ambassador and the state department
officials regarding the objectionable
clause in the immigration bill, the Cal
lfornia school question and the recent
riots in San Francisco, and the report
which they have sent to Toxic, it is al
legged, will form the basis of a system
attic campaign to bring about anti
American demonstrations in Japan
and to force Foreign Minister Eaya-
shi, If possible, to demand indemnity
and an apology on account of the Jap
anese disturbances in San Francisco.

The people of Lyman county some

fetal opinion in regard to the matter.
The fence law as it was supposed TO
exist west of the river prior to the last
legislative session was held by him to
be unconstitutional. His opinion was
given wholly on that law. Afterward
a new law was passed by the legisla-
ture, which was so framed as to meet
any possible constitutional objections.
This law has not been before the at
torney general for any official action,
and he has given no opinion concern
ing it, He was requested to act as
counsel in a civil suit on behalf of an
association of persons who desired to
test the law, but declined to take a
part on the ground that it might in
terfere with his official duties. The
1907 law has not been before either
the state legal department nor the SUI
preme court for Interpretation, and
has not been officially passed upon in
