STOCK YARD UNIONS
| THREATEN STRIKE
More Than 100000 to Go Out
in Chicago Unless Police
Guard Is Withdrawn.
MORE RIOTING FEARED
Grand Jury Indicts 23 More
Negroes-Race War Takes
on New Phase.

CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-Representatives oi
forty-two union locals Of stock yard en-
ployees voted tonight for a general
strike tomorrow unless militia, police
men and deputy sheriffs, on duty to pre-
vent race rioting, are withdrawn from
the yards.
More than 100000 persons are en-
ployed in the yards.
A strike was virtually begun to day
when hundreds Of white men quit work
after 1000 of the $4,000 negro workers
returned to the yards under troop pro-
lection. They had been compelled to
remain at home because of last weeks
race rioting.
The union men said they objected to
negro non-union workers and not to the
workers simply because they were ne
groes. They claimed that about 5000
white men walked out to-day, but the
packing company officials placed the
number at about $50.
Before the strike vote officials Of the
stock yards labor council conferred with
Federal Judge Alschuler, Federal arbi-
traitor IN stock yard controversies. The
negro situation was discussed, and II
was believed the aid of Judge Alschuler
in having the guards withdrawn also
was sought.
The Grand Jury to-day voted indict-
ments against twenty-three more ne
groes, making a total Of fifty-four me-
groes indicted for participating In the
recent riots. One negro, beaten in the
riots, died to-day, making the death lis'
thirty-six.
Frank s. Sickson, Adjutant-General
of Illinois, conferred with city authori'
ties after the strike announcement.
J. w. Johnstone, secretary of the
Stockyards Labor Council, said the union
men would not work under guard and
told of successful efforts to see Mayor
Thompson and Gov Lowden. He said
the Adjutant-Gener had informed them
that the Mayor was in full charge, the
militia only aiding the police.
Because of race spirit and efforts to
unionize the negroes the district was a
danger spot during the recent outbreaks
The disorders, together with wild rumors
of extreme cruelties to negroes and the
burning of six blocks of homes of white
workers, have resulted in tense situa-
ton.
Say Police Caused Clashes.
When mounted police appeared in the
stockyards July in anticipation of out.
breaks by radicals union leaders imme-
| unionism occurred between blacks and
whites and the labor leaders said these
were due to presence of policemen.
The shortage of white labor during thu
war brought many negroes to the yards
some Of whom were organized, but labol
| leaders later complained that the COM
panies opposed these efforts. The pack
| ers replied that they did not care wheth
er employees were union men. but tha
none, black or white. would be discrlmi

department of the A. F. of L., announc-
Ing that the Railroad Administration

Mr.. Jewell took prompt steps TO notify
the men, and a statement was sent to
them urging that they Immediately re-
turn to work.
The Director-Generars letter was as
follows:
II enclose a letter which l have just
received from the President relative to
the wage matter. 1t is obvious that 1t is
OF the highest Importance. not only in
the interest of the public, but in the in-
terest of the employees themselves, that
they shall Immediately return to work
The situation having been clarified by
the definite indication that Congress does
not wish to take action in the premises,
the Railroad Administration stands ready
to take up the wage question on it's
merits with the duly accredited inter
national officers and their authorized
committee as soon as the employees re-
turn to work"
AS soon as the Presidents attitude
toward the railway employees was made
known to him Mr.. Jewell, acting presi-
dent of the railway employees depart
ment OF the American Federation of

tendents of the employees organizations

SACRIFICE GREAT, FOR FATHER

The king of Siam is expected to
have in his harem a member of ev-
cry influential family in the coun-
try, for it is considered that in no
other way could he be in such close
touch with the people of his king
dom. The present reigning monarch
is a bachelor, the first and only bach
elor who has sat upon the throne of
his fathers in $500 years.
And thereby hangs tale, for mar
riage by a Siamese sovereign has
meant not the simple taking of one
wife, but the wholesale adoption of a
thousand or more. The young kings
father and his fathers father, and
each one of the long lines of kings
preceding them, had many wives. His
father had between 1000 and 5000.
And, when the young crown prince
returned from his long stay in Eu-
rope-,he had passed third of his
life there-he was told by his royal
father that there had been selected
for him a number of court beauties
from which he could take his choice
of a hundred or two for his harem
But the prince would have nothing

SILENT BLACKS FROM AFRICA
PUZZLE TO AMERICAN NEGRO
They're Black and They Smell Nat
ural, but They Amt No Niggers,"
Was the Verdict.

American negroes when brought
into contact in France with black reg
iments from Algiers, Tunis and other
French possessions could not under
stand why these strange men spoke
no English or why they were taciturn
and grave and seldom laughed and
never smiled, said the Rev. Robert
Davis in a recent speech in Louis
vile, KY. The Rev. Mr.. Davis, who
has recently returned from months
of service with the Red Gross in
France, explained how he watched
one of the American negro soldiers
as the latter sought to open a con-
versation with a dusky cousin from
one of the French colonial Rnits. The
African remained mute, his face ex-
pressionless, and the Yankee darby
looked at him with puzzled air.
'Well," he said doubtfully, "you
smells kind of natural and you's
black, but you amt no niger"
