warn against any shipments being
sent in until the strike Is settled
and the 600 handlers return to
work.
The commission houses had
their office help out at dawn. AS
the heavily-laden trains and trucks
rumbled into the yards, the men,
armed with sticks and whips,
drove the believing cattle down
long lanes and into the thousands
of pens.
Fifty policemen were on duty
during the night and so more ar
rived with the daylight. PicketS
marched back and forth before the
entrances of the yard. There was
no violence.
10000 ANIMALS DUE
Although the exchange has
warned farmers, stockmen and
shippers to withhold shipments of
livestock to Chicago, about 10000
animals were due to arrive at the
yards during the day.
Continued shipments are ex-
pected despite the warning.
Reports from various parts OF
the West indicated that farmers
were accompanying shipments Of
steers to the Chicago market so
they could unload them, them
selves, if the strike is still on when
they arrive.
The problem of feed bills to ship
pers, if all livestock is not cleared
out today and more continues to
arrive, was a vexing one. 1t was
estimated that shippers would be
forced to pay out $4,000 a day for
feed if the yards are filled with
animals, and they are not moved.
The question of feeding the live
stock during the duration Of the
strike was expected to be taken up
by the rival factions at confer
ence today.
Unless the question is settled,
whatever animals are on hand will
starve. Police also feared any at
tempt at feeding without permlS-
sion of the strikers committee
might lead to violence.
BLOW TO SMALL MEN
The tieup had little effect on
the major meat packers which
maintain large supplies on hand
and receive most of their stock di-
rect, but it was reported a severe
blow to the smaller meat process
sors, particularly in view Of the
approaching Thanksgiving holf
day. . s @ "a
There was no danger, however,
Of a meat shortage in the city UNI
less the strike continues for q long
time, because a large part Of the
holiday orders already had been

Hall Dozen Cars

for Swain just how many cars he
bought, and for whom. He did re-
member that Brother Charlie
wrecked a brand new car.
An oft repeated refrain of I'VE
made it together and we shared it
together" crept into Emmitt's tes-
timony at the interview with
Swain. When the numbers bust

he was the only one who had any

Again the subject of whether
Emmitt borrowed $1,000 or $4,000
from the late Eddie Killeen was
brought up in the interview.
1t developed that Emmitt said
that he had borrowed $1,000 from
Killeen, but if he had been asked
1t would also have been true to
report that the 100000 figure was
correct.
Emmitt revealed also that broth

MONEY REFORMS

HARTFORD, Conn, Feb. IA
Q.N.SO.-President Roosevelt and
his "brainless trust" today had
been blamed by Representative
William Lemke for the contin-
uance of the present business re-
ceSsion.
Speaking to 1000 cheering per-
sons Sunday afternoon, the Union
party candidate for President in
the 1886 election, waving a dollar
bill and calling for monetary re-
form, declared:
There's a sitdown strike at
the other end of Pennsylvania
Avenue and all the while the
President has at his fingertips
the power to end this recession"
He urged adoption by Congress
of his monetary reform bill, which
would set up a bank of the United
States owned and operated and
controlled by the people-"not for
the select few but for the people
as a whole"

Before he left Governor Alfred

he disclosed, has already sent two

He also was an expert ON the

ception to be held here February

of Indiana.
Four thousand persons have
been invited to attend. the list in.
cluding high New Deal officials,

greSs, a few State governors, the
Indiana Society of Washington,
and number of Indiana officials.
NOW EN- ROUTE HERE
McNutt is on his way here from
the Philippines, ostensibly to make
formal report on affairs there
to President Roosevelt. Actually,
however, McNutt's visit is ex.
pected by political observers to be
the opening gun in the 1910 cam.
paign.
This Interpretation Is supported
by recent activities of Frank H
McHale, newly selected Demo
cratic national committeeman
from Indiana, who is regarded as
the "Jim Farley Of McNutt's or.
ganization. McHale has been
quiely spreading political good
will for the former Indiana gov.
ernor for some time.
No program of activities has
been scheduled for the reception
and the whole affair is being kept
as informal as possible.
ASKED TO DROP AROUND"
Guests have merely been asked
to drop around" to the Mayflower
Hotel between 4 and Z O'Clock in
the evening to meet the High Com.
missioner and Mrs. McNutt. At
the office of Senator Sherman
Minton CD of Indiana the af,
fair was described merely as
Senator Minton'S reception for
Mr.. and Mrs. McNutt."
After hiS visit here McNutt will
return to the Philippines to wind
up his affairs there in preparation
for his resignation late in the sum
mer. Then he is expected to re
turn to the States for the 194C
campaign.
On his way here from the Philip
pines, McNutt will stop off ir
