Princess Louise w ill proceedings at once. W ILL rORLC TAM INE. start divorce The striking butchers are now deter mined to force a meat famine on the public. German m ilitary experts regard Rus sia as being in a very serious position in the Far East. Tbe 1904 wheat yield is estimated at 45,000,000 bushels as against 10,000,- 000 bushels in 1903.

Gamon, of Portland, was badly injured in an auto wreck wnile taking in the sights in New York City. Chicago. Sept. 7.— “ A meat faruiut will be forced at all costs. It Is tht best weapon with which to fight the trust packers, although It may not be welcomed by the independents." In these words. President Donnelly, of the butchers' National organization, today declared a boycott against all meat, and announced that union men will quit in all packing establishment« Immediately, regardless of where live stock Is secured Donnelly’s announcement was made at the concluaiou o f a meeting of the Allied Trades Conference Board. The executive board o f the Retail Meat Dealers’ Association of Chicago had Just been In conference wit Mr Donnelly and his associates, having come to ask certain concessions for the independent puckers and to seek authority to attempt to bring about a meeting between the packers and rep resentatives of the strikers. By ignoring these latest attempts at peace and by adopting such an ag gressive step, the strike leaders detu unstinted their luteuliou to muse it a fight to a finish. The following statement was given out by President Donnelly: “ Th e conference board, representing all organizations involved In the pres ent packing-house strike, has taken ac tion to place all meats on the unfair list. This order goes into effect on Saturday evening. September 3, at 5:30. The order w ill be sent to every packing bouse in tbe country, and no member of the meatcutters' and butch ers’ workmen will be allowed to dress any animal until the strike is settled. This action is the result of the re quest that the public refuse to eat meat, and no person, no matter in what capacity employed in handling meat, must handle the same after 5:30 P. M. Saturday. The packers have re sorted to extortion as the results of the strike, buying livestock on the hoof for almost nothing and charging any price for the dressed product. The public will now be given an opportunity tc retaliate by refusing to eat meat until such time as they can procure the same at a fair market price." Indications are that the five inden dent packers within the stockyards inclosure will join the big packers in their fight, while those outside will endeavor to continue operations with union crews. T w o of their number re ceived consignments o f cattle at an outside railroad yard today, and will have them driven to the yards through the streets. Within the yards Inde pendents are obviously preparing for war, a wagonload o f cots having been taken to one plant. The union switchmen employed by the Chicago Junction Railway In ban dling stockyards business will send a committee to the packers today to urge a plan of settlement, the details ol which are not yet known. Secretary Mallow, o f the switchmen, declared there would be no strike, be cause the Chicago Junction Railroad Company has a force of strikebreakers ready to step into their places. The police record o f the strike at tbe stockyards station today reads: Asaults, 46; murders, 4; accidents, 97; removed to hospital, 43. JAPAN GAINING CALLS MEN O U T.
