MEAT famine IS
Threatened BY
latest STRIKE
Packing House Employees
at East St. Louis Organize
and Walk Out.

East St. Louis, ILL.,, July PA
meat famine for greater St. Louis was
threatened when employees of the big
packing plants here went on strike to-
day.
Representatives of the strikers
maintain that 1890 workmen signed
up as members of newly organized
union at meeting late today, and
that all employees will strike, including
butchers, meat cutters, helpers, wom-
en-, and foreign laborers, unless the
union is recognized. The union also
asks for an eight-hour day.
Robert Conway, superintendent at
the Armour & company plant, declared
tonight the union would not be recog-
nized, and that more men would be
employed as they were needed.
One packing plant official admitted
tonight that $500 men from the Nor
ris, Swift, and Armour plants had
joined the walkout.
The packers are said to have re-
fused to fill some St. Louis orders to-
day.

PAGE TO PRESENT
BOYCOTT PROTEST

Washington, July 27.-American
Ambassador Page will present to the
British foreign office, probably tomor-
roy, a formal note protesting against
the blacklisting of American business
firms under the trading with the
enemy act.
In announcing today that the COM
munication had been transmitted to
London, Acting Secretary Polk said it
discussed only general principles of
international law involved, without
specifically taking up cases of indivi-
dual firms blacklisted.
The note officially described at the
department as "protest" is said to be
positive in tenor and to leave no doubt
regarding this governments attitude.
Present plans are to make it public
next Monday. -

$500. 100000 FOR
NATIONAL DEFENSE

Washington, July 27.-Nearly 700
millions for national defense in the
fiscal year 1918 is the aggregate of
proposed appropriations reached in
the senate today, with the passage of
the army appropriation bill, carrying
in round numbers, $314,000000.
This grand total for preparedness
still is subject to revision, however,
because the army bill follows the
naval bill in the conference, where re-
auctions are probable, despite the firm
attitude of President Wilson. The ap-
preparations for preparedness, as they
now stand, are as follows:
Army-$313, 970,447.
Navy-$315, 826,843.
Fortifications-$25, 748,O5O.
Military academy-$2,238,328.
Army and navy deficiency-$27,-

Total-$6S5, 343,017.

Relief for North Plains States.


Chicago, July 27.-North Plains
states will enjoy slight relief from
The present hot wave by Saturday,
but there is no indication of relief
for Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, 'Wiscon-
sin or Kansas, the forecaster at the
local government bureau said tonight.
Every government bureau in Indi-

more.
Pierre, South Dakota, Grand Rapids
and Davenport, Iowa, reported 1902.
The mercury in Chicago rose to the
1OO;h mark, a record exceeded only
in 1887, 1901 and 1911.
At o'clock tonight, according to
the local bureau, every government
weather station between the Allie
ghenies and the Rocky mountains re-
ported a maximum of 80 degrees or
more. The absence of hot winds and
the comparatively low humidity, how
ever, tended to save crops thus far. \

Ready For Bandits.

Ell Paso, July 27.-Col. J. A. Jack
son, commanding the American border
patrol in the Big Bend district of
Texas, is confident that his force is
so disposed as to be ample to cope
with any bandit band which might
attempt a raid across the border, ac-
cording to word reaching here tonight
from Maria.
The Sixth. United States cavalry is
supported in patroling the district by
the Texas and Pennsylvania nation
al guard. Belief was expressed that
only hunger would spur the bandits to
attempt raid in the face of such
preparations.
The band reported near Sierra
Blanca, about 60 miles south of the
frog1ier has been operating in that
section for some weeks.

Washington, July "a Bermuda
high" is the official cause OF the
worst heat wave that has enveloped
the country in fifteen years.
Translated from the language of
the weather bureau experts, this
means that great area of high pres
sure air has been mobilizing on the
weather drill grounds in the Atlantic,
off Bermuda, for the last month"; and
now has let go the full power of its
offensive from the sea board to the
Rocky mountains.
For weeks it has stood like solid
wall against the heated current, try
ing vainly to move out of the interior
over the ocean and now as it whirls
rapidly along it is gathering mois-
'ture from the tropics and sweeping
them northward over the continent,
into the vacuum Of so-called Glow

No relief is promised from the heat,
which in the East has caused suffer-

lions of dollars worth of food crops.

In Service Two Months. .ssss.
Carter Thompson was 29 years Of
age, and the younger son of DR.. and
Mrs. A. G. Thompson of this city,
where he had spent virtually all his
life. He is survived by one brother,
Louis Thompson, and two sisters,
Mrs. Arnold of Ell Paso, Tex, and
Mrs. Frank Royston of Pine Bluff.
Thompson entered the employ of
the quartermaster's department about
two months ago as chauffeur on motor
trucks, for which work he was eX-
cellently qualified, as he had been en-
gagged here with his brother in the
automobile business. Only few of
his friends knew he was connected
with the army on the border, although
members of his family had received
letters in which he told in interesting
style of the dangers and difficulties
of the work being done, not only by
the soldiers in the fighting end, but
also by the men whose duty it was to
furnish the fighting soldiers with
food, arms and ammunition and other
necessities.
His body will be shipped to Pine
Bluff by the government at the re-
quest of the family, although it will
be two or three weeks before it will
arrive, as tits not expected the body
will not be brought from it's present
resting place for some time.
