on the Will Fetterly place near Dale
Mr.. REM had recently marketed all
his hogs with the exception of two
large ones that he kept to furnish
meat for his family during -he COM
ing year. These he slaughtered one
day last week and hung the carcasses
up in the granary to remain a day
or two while assisting some neigh
bors in butchering. When he went
to get his meat to prepare it for the
smcke-house, one can imagine Mr..
Renz's establishment when none was
to be found. 1t had completely van

shifted the blood from afar and stalk

succeeds in locating the thief and that
the culprit gets all he deserves for
such crime.

The Chicago Federation of Labor,
chief backer of the American Labor
party, has extended the olive branch
of peace to the nonpartisan political
campaign committee OF the American
Federation OF Labor.
This. and other recent develop
ments, lend credence to fumors here
that the party will abandon it's pro-
gram for independent activities in the
coming campaign. joining forces with
the American Federation OF Labor
and the "Big Four" railroad brother
hoods in order that organized labor,
In what is regarded as the most criti-
cal period in it's history, may present
a united front at the polls to down all
anti-Labor candidates for Congress.
The party may go on with its plans
to hold a national convention in Chi
cago. in July, but may do nothing
more than convene.
Samuel Gompers has named Mat
thew Woll, eighth vice president OF

, Perkins, president OF the Internation-

voys." to treat" with similar ennis
saries from the Chicago federation.
T.. N. Nockcls, secretary of the Chi
cago body, suggested this conference
in a letter to Gompers.
John Fitzpatrick. president of the
Chicago federation and moving spirit
in the Labor party, has been here con-
ferring with Gompers and Secretary
Frank Morrison. 1t is known he talk
ed politics with them, and everyone
seemed pleased with the result. Be-
fore his departure for Chicago he de-
ciared his party "still lively" But to-
day letter written by Nockels to
Samuel Gompers was made public. 1t
confirms reports that the Chicago
body, backbone of the party, is ready
to surrender" to Gompcrs' nonparti-
san policies.
In this letter Nockells declares that t
the Chicago laborites. in advocating
an independent political party, had no
thought of obstructive tactics
