PROTESTS PASS UNHtEOED
Artillery Will Be Withdrawn From
Fort Smelling and Assiniboine
and Keogh Abandoned.

Washington, d. c.. May 3l.-Upon his
return to Washington, Secretary Taft will
find awaiting him a number of kilograms
and letters from various points in the
west, protesting against the reduction of
military garrisons in that part of the
country. Particularly strong remon-
strances have come from Minnesota and
Montana, where the senators and repre-
sentatives have all Joined forces to pre-
vent the withdrawal of the artillery from
Fort Smelling, Mimi, and the abandon
ment OF Forts ASsinibOine and KeOgh,
Montana.
In the absence of Secretary Taft, no
response has been made to these appeals
but 1t is stated at the war department
that they cannot be needed, as the move
ments ordered are deemed Indispensable
to the successful working out of the plans
of the war department for the gradual
abandonment of small. useless posts, and
the erection of brigade posts which will
afford the troops necessary drill and dis

Another reason for the change is the
necessity of meeting new conditions Gre

DISEASED COWS

Packers Will Hereafter Buy
Subject to Post Mortem In
SpeCtion by United States.

Chicago. Nav S1-The executive commit
tee of the American Meat Packers asso-
citation, whose members embrace 219 large
and small slaughter houses in twenty
seven states. met here this morning and
adopted a resolution asking all inspected
slaughter houses to buy cows and other
cattle subject to post norton inspection
by the United States government. The
request was made that immediate effect
be given to the resolution.
Secretary George L. Mccarthy of the as
ISOLATION said:
THE diseased COWS to which we OBJ
ject come from dirty. filthy farms, and IT
naturally follows that the dairy herds
from which most Of them come are dis
eased. The danger by consuming milk
and other dairy products from tubercu-
lar cows and COWS suffering from other
diseases would be appalling if it were
generally known. The farmers who are
responsible for this condition of affairs
have no incentive to keep their farms
clean. their herds free from disease so
long as they are paid full value for dis
eased animals sent to the market for
slaughter, but when the cattle are bought
subject to inspection after death, every
farmer who has been criminally negli-
gent will Immediately clean UP his place
and take measures to keep disease out of
his herd.

IRON WORKERS
TIRED OF PLAY
Ten Thousand Men Going Back
to the Shops in San Fran
cisco Monday.

San Francisco, May 31.-The first
rift in the series of strikes and unset
tied labor conditions which have over
Swallowed San Francisco Cor many
weeks occurred today when the strike
of 10000 ironworkers was amicably set
tied. The men went out several weeks
ago to enforce a demand for an eight
hour work day and an increase in
wages. This resulted in closing the
Union iron works, the Fulton on
works and all the foundries. machine
shops and iron works, not only in San
Same Old Conditions.
The settlement of the strike was
brought about by the active work CT a
Cancellation committee composed of
delegates from the commercial organ
izations, the federated churches, Civic
league and the peace committee of the
labor council. The men return to their
work upon the same conditions of
hours and wages as prevailed when
they struck and which shall remain in
effect for eighteen months.
The committee of the Metal Trades
association, representing the employ
ers, however, conceded that commena-
ing Dec l. 1908, there shall be a re-
duction of fifteen minutes in the work
day every six months until an eight
hour day is reached on June 1, 1910,
and which shall be in effect thereafter.
While but 10000 men, comprising
tWenty-eight unions. were actually On
strike, fully 10000 whose daily wage IS
estimated at $4,000, were directly or
indirectly affected All shops. foun-
dries and iron works are expected 20
be in full operation by the latter part
of next week.
The factors which brought about a
settlement We're the threat of the em-
ployers to import non-union labor, a
depleted treasury and the failure to re-
ceiye financial assistance from other
unions because of the many strikes
here and the concession of the foun-
dries and iron works that after three
years an eignt-hour day shall be
granted.
