Uncle Sam, too, has put fine edge

Of the fight, his first opponent being
the big meat trust. This trust includes
Armour & Co., Swift & Co, Nelson
Morris & Co. and the National Pack
ing company, all of Chicago. The last
company is the selling agent for the
other three, and through it, it is said,
the trust dictates the price of meat
to the retailers all over the country

the consumer Their operations are al

Sherman act and in restraint OF trade

TO UNITE
TOLSTOrS FAMILY
Threatens Aged
Philosopher Who Will
Not Go to Hospital.

MoScow. Nov. ia severe attack
of Illness which threatens pneumonia
may be the means Of reuniting Count
Tolstoi. the aged philosopher. with
his family. Word was brought here
today from Astopeye, in the govern
a,ent Ct Bjasan. where tie Coun, was
taken suddealy Ill, that his fever was
f94 and thst he refused to go TO q
hospital.
Count Tolstoi's evident intention al.
the time of falling i'll was to go into
Sweden Fortunately he was accom-
panied by his old friend. DR. Makovet-
Sky ard his daughter Alexandra.
The Count refused to leave the rail
read STATEN so bed of blankets and
overcoats was prepared for him and
while DIR. Makovetsky ministered med
icine his daughter acted as nurse.
On account of the advanced age of
the Count and the self-inflicted hard
ships of TIE past week. 1t is feared
that his illness may prove fatal Word
from Astopeye today stated that he
was delerious at intervals.
Word has been sent to the Countess
at Yasnaya Poliana to hasten to her
husbands bedside but another report
which was received here simultan-
eously stated. that If it were possible.
the Count would be taken back to his
home 1t was feared. however. that
he was too i'll to stand the journey.

FOR ARMY RESERVE LARGE TURTLE seen
Labor's Attitude Causes a
Pessimistic Feeling.

Washington, Nov. 15.-The hostile
attitude OF labor unions toward the or
ganized militia has created very pes
simistic feeling among officers of the
army and the national guard, which is
reflected strongly in the annual report
of Col. H. M. Weaver, chief of the divi-
sion OF militia to the chief of staff.
The officers report says that 1t is
almost hopeless to expect any relief
from the present conditions by the en-
actment OF state laws or through any
national law that would restrain the
unions from their unfriendly attitude.
The preaching of patriotism are of
no effect, even where 1t Is shown that
the sole purpose Of the militia is the
maintenance of law and order. and in
Colonel Weaver's opinion the only real
practical solution of the problem lies
in the creation by the other states OF
a state constabulary on the lines of
the highly trained and disciplined con-
stabulary of Pennsylvania to supple
ment the effort of the local police or
constabulary in the repression OF dis
order. II is believed that the labor
unions would then come to look upon
the militia as force for national de-
Tense rather than as a state police,
and in course of time their opposi-
ton would disappear.
