1875, 900 MEN TO STRIKE.
40 Trades Unions Will Walk Out
Next Saturday.

Philadelphia.-Action fraught with
possible momentous consequences to
Philadelphia was taken by the Central
Labor Union Sunday when that body,
representing 140 unions with claimed
membership of $4,000, voted to begin
q strike next Saturday in sympathy
with the striking street employees.
This decision came at the end of a
secret session of about 700 delegates in
Labor Lyceum Hall, which lasted more
than six hours. There was apparently
no question that the delegates would
vote to strike, the split being ON the
issue whether it would be, started inn
mediately. The more conservative ele-
ment prevailed, however, and the walk
out was put off until next Saturday.
Meanwhile there is hope that the
street railway strike will be arbitrated,
despite the repeated declarations of the
transit company, controlling all the
lines in the city, that "there is nothing
to arbitrate."

Meat Packers Assert No Demands

Chicago.--The threat of Prosecutor
Garven of Jersey City to sue the Ma
tional Packing Company for the annul-
ment of its New Jersey charter unless
the minutes of the directors meetings
were produced, was met by the state.
ment of officers of the company that nc
formal demand for the records had been
presented to them.
The minutes of the directors meetings
are kept in Chicago in custody of Chas.
G. Snow, secretary of the corporation.
Prosecutor Carver believes the records
will supply strong evidence in support
of the indictment against six Chicago
packing concerns and twenty-one direct
ors and officials, charging conspiracy to
advance the prices of meats and poultry
1t was in the meetings of the National
directors, it is alleged, that the big pack
ers entered into trade agreements.

U. S. BIG TOBACCO MARKET
Leads World in Exports; Is Second
in Imports.

Washington, d. C.-The United States
leads the world as an exporter of to-
bacco and is the second leading market
of the world for the imported article,
according to statistics of hte department
of commerce and labor.
Last year the United States supplied
TO international markets Sal, 100000 in
total of $150,0O0,OOO worth of tobacco
and of manufactures from the plant.
More than one billion dollars worth of
tobacco and its products has passed
through ports of the United States since
1890, the value of the exports in that
period having aggregated $646,000, 900,
and the imports into the United States,
$3s6,o00,000. In 1909 alone, cigars and
other tobacco brought in from Porto
Rico were valued at $5,750,o0O. Ship
ments of tobacco to Alaska, Hawaii and
Porto Rico We're valued at nearly $4,000

WOULD SECURE WORLD PEACE
Congress Will Be Asked to Take
the First Step.

New York.-The Congress of the
United States will be asked in few
weeks to father an organization to be
known as the Omitted States of the
World" with an object of international
unity and permanent world peace.
The step will be taken at the instance
of the World Federation League, recent
ly organized in New York, which is rap
idly spreading over the country. A
prominent Western senator will intro
duce joint resolution empowering the
United States government to take the
immediate initiation in the formation of
the UNITED States of the World"
Embodied in the resolution will be
draft of proposed constitution of this
new world combine. This constitution
will follow the lines of one constructed

PACKERS ARE INDICTED
BARoNS MUST COME TO TRIAL,
SAYS PROSECUTOR.
Penalty of Three Years in the PEN
itentiary or a Fine of One
Thousand or Both.

New York.-Six great packing com
panies and twenty-one packers, several
of them multi-millionaires, socially and
industrially prominent, were indicted by
a grand jury in Hudson county, New
Jersey, charged with conspiracy in linn
ting he supply of meat and poultry.
The indictment is drawn under the
law of New Jersey which provides, upon
conviction, a maximum penalty of three
years in the penitentiary or $1,000
fine, or BOTH The offense is extradit-
able, which means that practically all
the meat barons of this country must
either successfully resist extradition or
come to Jersey City for trial.
The Indictment, which bristles in its
arraignment of the men named, also re-
fers to divers others" as being RESPONSE
BILE. These latter, however, are not speci-
fed.
The list of names represents the very
backbone of the great packing industry
Of this country, containing, as it does,
two Armours, three Swifts and two
Morrses, all for the most residents of
Chicago, together with less important
figures in the packing world. Their in
dictment brings to climax the first
concerted effort in the East 20 fix re-
sponsibility for prevailing abnormally
aigh prices of commodities.

WHAT is HAzINo7

A bill has been framed in the senate
commi.te on military affairs prescrib-
ing regulations that shall govern the
dismissal of West Point cadets for the
practice Of "hazing," and defining in
explicit language what is meant by the
term itself. 1t seems that the diction-
airy definitions have not proved salts
factory either to the senate commit
tee or to the executive heads of the
war department, and in lieu of salts
factory translation of the comprehen-
sive term 1t becomes necessary for the
law givers to frame one for them
selves. 1t is in many cases easier to
offer an example than synonym, says
Philadelphia Ledger. Anyone knows
"haztng" when he sees 1t, and every
thoughtful, person deplores the brutal
disregard of another's feelings that is
involved in the reprehensible practice.
No definition would be complete that
failed to take into consideration the
fact that mental anguish is sometimes
much more painful than physical suf-
ferings. A man's-or boy's--mind
may be hazed not less effectually than
his body. In order to haze" success
fully it is not necessary to use instru-
ments of torture. Some of the most
brutal instances of hazing on record
have been those in which the magma
ton of the chosen victim has been in
geniously assailed by the soul-harrow-
ing dread Of things that did not hap
pen.

The meanness of the short-measure

The meanness of the short-measure
trick is conspicuously exemplified in
the report that consumers in New
York city alone are annually cheated
out of 100000 quarts of milk for
which they pay-and. according to re-
cent evidence, pay exorbitantly-but
which they do not receive because the
bottles in which the milk is delivered
are under full size. The milk sold in
this manner goes for the most part to
poor persons and furnishes large pro-
portion of the sustenance of children.
Short measure in this instance there
fore means robbing those whose lot is
already hard enough and who have to
pay heavily for every necessary of life.
If there is not method of reaching
the conscienceless persons who perpe-
trate such despicable frauds certainly
the law should remedy the defect.

A Russian bank has been started at
Buenos Ayres, the capital of Argen-
tina. and line of steamships from St.
Petersburg to South America is pro-
jected, owing to the large and increas-
ing trade of Russia with that country.
All the other leading European nations
have an important commerce with
South America, which is pushed with
all the energy possible and with the
application of every practicable meth
cd, including subsidized steamers, lib
eral exchange arrangements and the
maintenance of well-stocked agencies
in South America, with employees care
fully trained for their duties, and with
strict regard for South American
tastes and desires in the character and
quality of goods.

The figures showing the gold produce
ton of the world for 1909, while not
complete. prove that the great output
of recent years has been kept up. The
actual production during 1908 was
$443,434,527. The estimated total for
1909. based on official returns from the
leading countries for II months, is
$457 ,567, $50. an increase of 14,132.75
or 3.2 per cent, over the preceding
twelvemonth. The Transvaal in South
Africa leads off. with $751;, 100000
against s145,S19,01 in 1908. The Uni
ted States ranks second with SOC, $780,
900 against s94,560,000. With one or
two exceptions every country in the
list produced more gold last year than
In 1908. Further comparison shows
that the gain has been in an almost
unbroken ratio during the last 20
years, for which period there has been
q fourfold gain in the worlds supply.
The figures have economic significance
and study of them may serve to ex-
plain some of the changes that are
being wrought in the worlds monetary
system.

SHOWS CAUSE FLOODS
DAMAGE TO PROPERTY WILL
RUN INTO THOUSANDS.
Several Counties Are Already Inun-
dated, and Unless Relief is Sent
Out Famine Will Result.

Cleveland, O.-HIundreds of people
Fremont and other points throughout
Northern Ohio by the floods which
after 30-hour steady rain, reached
their climax Sunday. The damage to
property will run into many thousands
of dollars, and if the situation is not
relieved by cold snap or cessation
of the rain, it is freely predicted that
extreme suffering and restitution will
follow in the next few days.
At Youngstown, Ohio, two of the big
gest steel plants in the city are threat
ened by the rising waters of the Ma
honing river, along the entire valley of
which the water has spread over the
lowlands, driving the farmers from
their homes.
The Sandusky river is five feet above
the danger line at Bucyrus, and an i'm
mense ice gorge has formed in the
heart of the city.
The most serious conditions are re-
ported from Fremont, where half the
town is under water, and the stores have
been boarded up by the merchants.
At Akron both the Little and Big
Cuyahoga rivers have left their beds.
Practically the whole of Crawford
county is submerged and it is feared
that in remote points in this and other
counties famine may ensue if prompt
measures of relief are not taken.

CALL ON STATE TROOPS
TRAFFIC RESUMED ON FEW
LINES IN PHILADELPHIA
Car Company Say They Have Men
to Man Cars, But the City Can
not Protect Them.

Philadelphia.-The Pennsylvania State
constabulary, 200 ex-cowpunchers and ex-
cavalrymen, who can pick the spots out
of ten of diamonds at thirty PAGES
with their ugly black automatic revolt
vers, are on their way here to take up
the job that the police and local militia
have failed at; that of restoring order
out of chaos that has accompanied the
street car strike.
Before they get here there may be Sc
rious business for someone to attend to.
The strike leaders got from a confiden-
tial source report that an attempt
would be made, Wednesday night, by
company men to dynamite mail car
and thus bring the strikers directly I'M
der the wrath of the federal government.
To forestall this they sent kilograms to
President Taft, Senator Penrose and
Postmaster Ashburg, explaining the sit
uation and disclaiming responsibility for
anything that might happen.
There was one big pitched battle
Wednesday between the police, who fired
hiOiN -VO ShOtoy anu ChS iiiOii VI ehS
Baldwin Locomotive works, who hurled,
perhaps, 1000 heavy nuts and bolts from
the windows and roof of the plant. This
lasted for twenty minutes and was the
most thrilling skirmish of the strike
riots. One workman was shot and doz-
EN- bluecoats put out of action by the
hand-thrown missiles.
This and the increasing inability of
the police to handle the situation, caused
Mayor Reyburn and his public safety
directorate to call upon the grey-clad
boys. They entrained from
Pottsville, Wilkesbarre, Punxsutawney
and Greenburg.
Though this will be good for the peace
of the town, it will be bad, most likely,
for its usual welfare. 1t may bring
about the much talked of general strike
of all the labor unions in Philadelphia,
which number 100000 men, and more
than 100 factories.

NEW MACHINE GUN INVENTED
SO Small It Can Be Fired From
Mans Shoulder

Washington.-Th army has just
adopted new type of machine gun that
has some remarkable points of advan-
tage over the existing guns. The new
weapon is so small that it can be car
ried by man or two, with full equip
ment of stands and ammunition. More
over, it has the important advantage
that it can be fired from the shoulder,
and is much less subject to attack and
capture by the enemy. The ammunition
is carried on steel strips, and the new
gun is said to be- free from the danger
of choking, while the barrels are car
ried in duplicate and can be almost in
stantly changed when they are heated
from rapid firing.

One of the largest real estate transac

completed when twenty-five firms in
Georgia and Florida signed deeds for
the transfer of $4,000 acres of land in
Decatur county, Georgia, and Gadsden
county, Florida, to the American Suma-
ira Tobacco company, capitalized at ST.

RAP KENTUCKY'S GOVERNOR
Violated Constitution in Sending
Troops Uncalled For.

Frankfort, Ky.-In one of the most
sensational reports ever made to the SEN
ate of Kentucky by an investigating com.
mittee, the joint legislative committee
on military affairs, after lengthy ex-
animation into the conduct of the state
military and the adjutant generals of.
flee, made report accusing Gov. Wilson
of violating the constitution and laws in
sending militia to various counties with
out any request from the civil authori-
ties.
The report criticises the adiutant gen.
erals office, which, it declared, should
be rigidly investigated, and calls atten-
tion to the expenditure of $3.50, 19s on
the state militia in less than two years,
most of which was spent during the So
called tobacco war" and "nightrider'i
troubles. To these expenditures is at.
tributed in large part the present deficit
in the state treasury.

KEEP ALASKA COAL LANDS
Two Bills introduced Protecting
Mineral Deposits.

Washington.-The recent startling tes-
timony on the value of coal deposits in
Alaska, given by Manager Birch of the
Guggenheim-Morgan Alaska syndicate
resulted in the introducing of two bills
by Senator Beveridge The object is tc
retain permanently in the United States
the title to Alaska coal deposits.
One provides for the withdrawal from
all forms of entry or sale of all the coal
deposits of Alaska. The other prohibits
the leasing of more than 2,660 acres TIC
more than one person or association, OF
for more than thirty years. The sur
face everything coal deposits may be dis

CLAWS is CORROBORATED
Garfield ousted Because He Opposed
Alaskan Claim.

Washington, D. C.-The charge made
by Horace Tillard Jones, a special agent
of the land office, that James NJ Sher-
idan, who was sent by the authorities at
Washington, to take charge of the hear
ings in the Cunningham coal cases in
Seattle last year, practically threw the
governments case away by giving coun-
sci for the claimants an opportunity to
examine all of the evidence collected by
special agents working under Louis k.
CLAWS, furnished the sensation Friday
at the Ballinger-Pinchot inquiry.
Jones made bitter attack upon the
competency of Mr. Sheridan who re-
placed CLAWS in charge of the cases, and
declared that although CLAWS was not
lawyer, he knew more than did Sher-
idan. Asked why he failed to protest
to Washington regarding the alleged in
competent presentation of the case,
Jones replied scornfully that he might
have been deemed insubordinate.
The witness worked with CLAWS on
the Alaska cases, and said he felt it
was reflection upon Mr.. CLAWS that
Sheridan should have been sent out to
relieve him.
Jones corroborated what CLAWS had
testified as to the statement made by
Donald A. Mckenzie, that the reason
james R. Garfield was not retained in
Mr.. Taft's cabinet was because of his
hostility to the Alaska coal claims.
"They wanted some one in the cabinet
who understood the needs of Alaska"
Mckenzie said, according to an affidavit,
made by Jones and CLAWS.
