Serious trouble lr feared at the Swift nlnnt raeM Hundred strikers lined up. today, and rxefused to let the office force enter, fcojolmlng that they were doing slaugh- ering. The sheriff declined an es- jfcort, fearing a riot. The manager applied to the governor for militia. Then Mayor Lyttle, of South St. Paul, headed the office force and broke through the lines. No open violence was offered,, but the resistance was determined, and the mayor desisted. After the receipt of Donnelly's re ply, the packers went Into executive session to consider the statement, but scon adjourned until late in the afternoon. The strikers took up active work, and tentative orders were issued to stationery firemen to quit work to morrow, which will cauEe much diffi culty in keeping the cooling plants in operation. Order prevails through out the yards, although the arrival of small bodies of strike-breakers aro frequent. The packers claim' to have 5000 men at work, and claim they will bo Independently situated in a few days. Arthur Meeker, general super intendent of ithe Armour Company, attempted to kill a steer this morning, but failed to hit it a sufficient blow. The animal charged, scattering Meek er and his helpers.

MWMMUmHtMt llMlMMMMMMttW The rain of the past 24 hours has been general throughout tho Willam ette valley, according to reports re ceived today. While not heavy, yet the ground Is wet down for some dis tance, and tho benefit to growing crops will be of great value. Late wheat and gardens will yield almost double, but the' hop crop Is perhaps the greatest gainer from tho moisture. Reports from growers today are very encouraging for almost, if not quite, as good a crop as last year, when the state produced 93,000 bales. Of course, it is more or less guess work at this time to prognosticate (the yield, mainly on account of the largo Increase In acreage anJ the uncertain ty of tho amount that will be pro duced on theso new yards, but It Is safe to say that it will exceed by many thousand bales the figures made several weeks ago. Hay that is cut and In the field will suffer if tho rain continues for tho week, but the quantity Is small, and tho damage suffered will be compara tively light. The farmers are Jubilant and feel thafc every drop of rain is like Hollars to them. One leading hop grower said today that tho yield In Oregon would reach 110,000 bales, while another, who claimed to be equally as well In formed, said that It would not exceed 80,000. Both men aro willing to back their judgment with coin of tho realm and were persistent in their state ments. From rellablo sources, and af ter a careful survey of tho yards in Marion and Polk county It is safe to say that tho yield will not, however, reach- that of last year, providing the weather and other conditions aro fa vorable from now to picking time. Tho Journal this afternoon called up a number of farmers having rural telephones, and' asked them concern ing the benefit derived from' the re cent rain. They aro almost .unanimous in their statements that tho grain crop wilt not bo" helped to any great extent, but that tho yiell of potatoes, hops and gardens will bo Increased In a measure. O. H. Crawford, of Polk county, said Chat it would do as much damage as It would good, Corn might bo helped, but potatoes were too far along. Jas. Wlnstanloy, tho hop grower be low town, said that tho rain would cause lico on tho hops, If It continued for any length of time. Hay Ib pretty I well under cover, and very llttlo will bo caught. Tho hop yards planted this year will bo benefitted, as will , also the trees; lato potatoes and hops might receive some benefit. Krobs Bro3. said: "Tho effect on tho hops will bo ito Increase tho yield j somo on account of tho hops having i sufficient moisture to sot on well, and if it had not boon for this rain many ' of the blososms would have dropped off. Wo estimate that tho probable ( yield of the Oregon crop will bo about 80,000 bales." Andrew Verclor, of Polk county, said that tho rain would bo a great benefit to tho prune crop. Until the rain the indications were that tho July drop would bo heavy, but tho moisture will assist In keeping tho prunes on tho trees. Grain is too far along for tho rain to help, although It Is beneficial to hops, potatoes and gar den truck. W. H. Elliott, who lives on the Lin coin road, said that tho rain was of no benefit to tho groin crop, but corn and potatoes would1 be helped. Hay ini his locality will bo damaged very severely if the rain continues for any length of time. Seventy-flvo por cent of the hay is in the shock at tho prozent time, and it will mean big loss. Homer Gouloy, who Uvea between Mission Bottom and Brooks, sold that the rain was a good thing for (the late spring grain, but that it was about the only grain crop that would bo bene fitted.. Fall grain is being cut now, anda week's rain would do somo dam ago. W. B. Duncan, who lives near Zena in speaking of tho weathor today, said he thought the spring grain was too far along to bo saved, and that the fall grain was too far avanced to be helped any. But ganlons, potatoes, corn, etc., would bo wonderfully I helped. In speaking of the hay crop, he said in that "section it was mostly all in cock, nnd would all bo saved, If the rain would hold off, and tho In dications were, with a northwest wind, ,very favorable toward good weather again. However, if tho rain still keeps on, it will do great dam age, i CAN'T ENJOIN MAYOR Philadelphia, July 15.
