Account of Wolff Situation.

According to a threat of the local
Butchers and Meat Cutters union an
nounced this morning. Topeka is to
be the scene of a sympathetic strike
Monday. The report says that at a
meeting of the local union Wednesday
night the strike vote was taken with
the result that q strike was declared
for Monday unless the Charles Wolff
Packing company meets the demands
of its striking employees.
Interviews with a large number OF
Topeka grocery stores and butcher
shops this morning revealed the fact
that the citizenry generally need have
little fear of any special shortage of
meat on account of the threatened
sympathetic strike. The net results
of the dozen or more interviews was
unanimous opinion that the selling
of meat will go on much as usual. In
the outlying and residence districts of
the city nearly all of the grocery
stores sell meat, and owners of these
stores asserted this morning that since
they cut the meat themselves the
strike order will have no effect.
The big meat shops in the uptown
district said today that of course the
strike will have some effect on their
business, but they said that as far as
possible they will continue to care for
their customers.
Charles Wolff, president of the Pack
ing company, was not ready to issue a
statement this morning but he indi-
