PICK JURY FOR
j. 5. SUIT AGAINST
BIG BEEF TRUST
MarsIlaIs Serve More Than
Score of Subpoenas on En-
ployees of Packing Houses.

|. CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-The Federal
grand jury investigation of the meth
DDS employed by four big local meat
packing companies was temporarily
halted today, when it was announced
that routine matters will be disposed
of first. 1t was explained that the
change had been made because the
cases against the packers are of such
grave importance it was deemed best
that the Jurors should familiarize
themselves with grand jury procedure
before considering the evidence.
The work of preparing the Ease of the
government was begun in the United
States District Court before Judge X.
M. Lands.
A special yenire of Jurors appeared
before Judge Lands and twenty-three
men were chosen to compose the grand
jury that is to hear the evidence and
decide whether indictments shall be re-
turned against the packers.
The firms against which the govern
ment will proceed are Swift & Co,
Armour g. Co. and Morris & Co., who,
it is alleged, control the National Pack
ing Company for their common ben-
eft.
Early today deputy United States
marshals were started out with more
than a score of subpoenaes and writs
to bring before the grand jury employ
ees and books of the concerns involved.

WORKERS HERE
join IN STRIKE
Men Answer Call for Walk-out
Which Affects Whole East
ern Division.

Upon the Endorsement Of the United
Garment Workers of America all o.
the eastern division OF garment work,
ers. including about 200 employed IN
this city. went on strike today. The
mel were employed by Wasserman
kleinwanckse & Linski, 10: ph Bauer
Samuel Bauer and Susenski & Roth
stein. The strikers are members OF
Garment Workers Local No. "a, and
the decision TO strike came at the end
of a meeting held yesterday in their
headquarters, 8 Prince street.
There are 10000 garment workers on
strike in New York city. According to
the story told by the strikers today,
some time ago, when the season was
dull, a cut in wages ranging from two
to three cents on each pair of pants,
was made. Now that the busy season
Is on and the garment workers have
money in their treasury they have de-
cided to make a stand for the return
to the wage scale in force before the
reduction.
The men also claim that they have
been treated unjustly by being asked
to accept checks in lieu of cash. They
say that some of the firms for whom
they worked were small depositors and
frequently checks, which were in
variably cashed at saloons, came back.
They also demand that each garment
worker be furnished a wage book to
show what has bee done each day.
Abraham Goldfein. leader of the
local strike, said today hat there are
more than 400 shops affected by the
strike in New York.
I'VE do not intend to call out those
who are working in small shops, that
is to say shops where only one or two
garment workers are employed" said
Goldfein today. I'VE expect a COM
plete victory by the end of the week"
Nathan Wasscrman, one of the lar
gest pants manufacturers in the city,
said today: 1T is not true. a. Presi-
dent SteiglitS. of Local No. "a states,
that the price has been cut on a GER
tain line of work. This line of goods
was dropped because 1 fcould not pay
the price demanded. The workmen
pleaded to return to hat line of goods
at the old price. This was done. and in
nc way was the agreement with the
workmen broken by the manufacture
Mr.. Wasserman also refuted a state
ment that he had Yer dated the checks
ahead. He is willing to pay in cash. he
said, if it IS proved that. any of his
have been SO dated, or If any OF
the checks had been returned as value
less by the banks.

BOARD
FIGHTS PERSONAL
TAX EXEMPTION

The finance committee of the Common
Council met this afternoon to place the
seal of it's APPROVAL or d%isapproval on the
bills introduced in the Legislature,
which would affect the city. Most OF
| the measures discussed met the favor OF
the members, but a few. were placed on
the black list.
One of the most Objectionable was a
measure to exempt from taxation per-
soonal property valued at $500 or less.
Tax receiver Robert l.. Ross presented
n statement showing that such a bill
would mean a reduction in city valua-
lions of more than 81, $50, 900. The bill
was officially disapproved. Three bills
providing for the abolition of the county
tax board were approved.
The bill providing for the pensioning
of employees of the Board of Health
at the end of a term of years was
also disapproved. Chairman Jerome T.
Congleton said that while he approved
of pensions where an employee was in
jured the performance of his duty, he
could not approve the bill in it's pres
ent form. The employees of the board
will be asked to appear at next week
conference.
A bill to allow TIL city to ship ashes
n refuse to the dumps by trolley was
also approved. The measure providing
for a moral instructor for county jails
was laid over.
The approval of the committee was
also given to the bill increasing the pay
of election officers to SIS because the
members declared competent men could
not ho p.oo,,.oJ Gov the t,orl- OF tho
present rate of pay. House bill No. %,
repeating the Hillery maximum tax act,
was approved. as was House bill No.
80, the provisions of which make the
rate of taxing of canal and railroad
property the same in all districts. An
other measure approved was House bill
No. 80. allowing municipalities to ap-
peal from the State Board of Assessor,
in the matter of railroad valuations.
On the motion of Mr.. Congleton the
bill to increase the annual appropria-
ton for roads from $780, 900 to $500. 0gu
was d~isapproved. because, he said. it
would %endanger the State school
moneys.
AT the request of Noah Guder, sec
rotary of the City Tax Board. a bill
will be drawn and introduced allowing
the board to begin its canvas of the
city on May 8 instead of 20. Mr.. Guder
said that the city had grown SO much
that it is impossible to do the work in
the time now allowed.
The committee will meet again next
Monday, together with the heads of
the several city departments. 1t is
planned to have the subsequent meet
ings in the e ening.
