Chlcsi-o July 3. Tot ths first tlms
. since Its Inclptenoy ths strike of packing-house
employee became riotous. -The
feeling; this morning was strained to ths
breaklng-polnt and a noley connict in
which no one was seriously InJuYed ter
minated in ths arrest of 'eight men and
ths disarming of two score mors.
At dawn this morning there sartved
at ths ' yards a considerable party of
negro Workmen. - As they entered ths
avenus leading to the yards they wer
Jeered by a small crowd of sympathis
ers,, which, notwithstanding ths early
hour, had assembled to watch thr course
of events. " . - V
From ths ysrds there emerged a dozen
men srmed with ' pistols.' The negroes
Started to run. toward the yards, evad
ing the -armed 'men, and ths entire as
semblage of strikers and strike-breakers
became mixed In a scramble for the
gate. Firing right and left created' a
panic and the strike sympathisers fled
precipitately.. . .

collected a short distance away, charged!

In the yards straightway and from 40
meniplstols and knives were taken, after
which they were driven from th vlcln

Severs! hundred police remained on
guard a ad are still watching all streets
snd alleys leading -to the yards. Day
opened with bo apparent relief In the
situation. . :,;..?
Three hundred strike-breakers arrived
and were distributed about the rasas.
V .A ' backers Beoslvs Cattle. ' ..,'
' The independent packers received a
supply of cattle this morning, and that.
too, without Interruption from the out
side. They were driven to ths yards by
ths most startling set of drovers that
has so far appeared, many being men In
silk hats snd cut-a-way coats and with
patent' leather gaiters. Ths drovsrs in
this Instance were brokers and com
mission men who had bought ths cat
tle on an agreement to deliver, and in
order to fulfil their contract had been
compelled to summon their offlos forces
and deliver ths cattle themselves. It is
doubtful If msjiy of ths broker-drovers
will again offer cattle to the packers
under such agreements.
It is now estimated that there are
nesrly MO non-unionists scattered
throughout ths different plants, and
while the operations are-small the pack
ers are getting out considerable of their
product. .
Despite ths fallurs cf his efforts to
bring ths strike to a close and the at
tempts of Golden, of ths teamsters'
union to mediate, Donnelly appears con
fident - - -TT-

After, Golden's last effort had failed,
when he announced that he would not
rail a strike except on ths authorisation
of ths national committee,. Donnelly
seemed in no wise depressed, j He said
that he had at no' tlms expected r de
sired other action, but was confident
that the teamsters committee would
sanction such a strlks and assist in
all ways possible to make the packing
' plants complete union establishments.
"It 4s utterly useless," he ssld.' "to try
to convince ths packers that they havo
discriminated against our men. as they
would not see It that way, regardless of
any evidence we might show them, con

peace. I cannot ssy whsn a settlement
of the difficulty will be reached, but sn

THEIR PRECAUTION .
PROVES DEATH TRAP
' anpednl Dttpelrh to the Jnornal.)
Seattle. Wash., July 24. Tied In th
rigging of their upturned fishing, sloop,
the bodies of two men were found by
th steamer Arrow in extreme south
eastern Alaskan waters last Thursday.
In ths hops of Saving themselves In, a
. frightful storm 'and bellcvljig the winds
would carry them In safety to the shore,
the two, J. Malone and Charles Thum

Ths fishermen had been Cruising all
sunmer on the flablng- banks A week
ago they left Lowe Inlet for 'a short
trip. Then ths weather gave promise of
being good, but a herd blow that night
carried them far out of their course,
and it was probably at ths height of
the storm thst they, aa a last resort,
lashed themselves to their boat ".The
captain Of ths Arrow cut them free, -snd
the two corpses were taken to ths near

Oolden at noon today had received no
reply from the telegram a which lis had
addressed the various members of the
national committee and to ths teamsters'
headquarters at Indianapolis asking. for
sanction to strike. . ,
. Orea,t Mass Meeting. '-' .:
This forenoon there was a great masi
meeting of strikers In a hall near the
yards. -Eight thoussnd men attended it
and ths crowd wss augmented. ty syra
pathlsers ' until it overflowed into the
vacant lots adjoining.-
Finally regular overflow ' meetings.
were - organised and speeches ana de
bates were taking place in half a. down
places simultaneously. Ths . meetings
were unaccompanied by threats of vio
lence, but In fear that anarchists' might
seek to address the crowd, plain clothes
policemen . circulated through -. th
throngs at ths different meeting feeling,-
aa It were, ths pulse of th crowd's
temper. . , . -
In almost all cases th meetings wer
sddressed by union leaders who asserted
that they had no complaint to make as
to th situation snd buoyed the hopes of
their- hearers by declaring that whlls
the strike might last a few weeks It was
certain that victory would mark ths end.
. Pack are forestall Engineers.
The packers, it' developed this morn
ing. : have -.forestalled ths engineers'
strike by making arrangements to use
electrical pbwer. Bo far this reooiirse
has not become necessary, aa they have
had sufficient steam in their boilers to
carry out ths limited amount of packing
that Is being done. '.
Almost at ths very; time th strikers
were -holding their meetings ths packers
wer In conference, and their action has
dons much to sdd to ths gravity of the
situation. Troubled as affairs were' be
fore and constantly promising lawless
ness, ths strsln was put almost to th
breaking point through the' packers
themselves, who choss a poor tlms to
maks any statement of other than a
conciliatory nature. ..... .
Regardless of diplomacy and . appar
ently with no deslr except to show
their defiance, the packers Issued a
statsment to ths publlo in which they
declare that-all negotiations with ths
striking butchers, and' craftsmen who
are out on a sympathetic strike, are
closed and thst under no circumstances
will they be reopened. - v
' Unions Betaliate,
Following ths packars' definite ulti
matum, ths striking butchers threw out
their picket lines and covered svsry im
portant point about ths district and be
gan to use tactics, hitherto not em
ployed. ' s . . . . ,
The' packers' announcement had th
effect of further Irritating the" strikers,
who at once abandoned all hope of a
peaceable settlement and practically de
clared war. .
At the Laurel street entrance to thal
stockyards the pickets, stopped throe
wagons destined for - Armour's and
turned them back. The teamsters drove
to their headquarters but mads no complaint,-
President Oolden Immediately
protested to the butchers' officials.
At 1 o'clock ths prospect for disorder
and possibly bloodshed was Increasing.
The packers hsvs used up nearly all the
surplus csttle in ths yards belonging to

Portland Yesterday Was' Fifth Hottest

In but four cities of the United

higher mark yesterday than In Portland.
In this city it registered 100 degrees; In
Fresno. Cat. 108; in San Diego, Cel., 194;
in Red Bluff, Cal., 102. and in Yuma,
Arls.. 101. - j
with on exception yesterday was tne
hottest : day Portland - has experienced
since the establishment - of the local

thermometer went as high as 101. -
So far as learned there was only one

When the weather was at Its sultriest
about 4 p. m.. John Joyce, driver of a
city water wagon, was overcome and fell
from his seat to the pavement - He
struck tbs pavement bead first and sus
tained a severe gash on the left temple.
For a time It looked as thoagh naviga
tion of ths Willamette river was going
to be blocked. . Th rail In th steel
bridge began to expand, and some little
tune elapsed before the draw could be
opened to permit the paasags of boats.
Finally blocks of wood were driven be
tween the ends of the rails separating
ths draw from the other sections of th
bridge snd by turning on more power
the tenders succeeded in opening a pas
sage way . for the! craft going up and
down the river. "Ihe blocks of wood
were kept wedged in between the ends
of ths rails all afternoon and had. not
this precaution been taken it Is said that
tbs expenston would have been so great
that, ths draw could not have been
opened ' without - something about the

District , Forecaster Beala attributes
the high temperature yesterday to a
freak of nature. He says it is one of
those unaccountable conditions which
occur here once in about every 10 yearc
Another feature about It Is ths fact that
th hot area was confined entirely to
the Willamette valley. Beyond the Cas
cades fins and breexy summer weather
was being experienced.
At 10 o clock this morning th tem

One thing in particular waa noticea
ble, and that waa ths large number who
made filings for homesteads. At Rnt
very few had planned to take Up homestead-
claims but owing to the fact that
the atate of Washington holds a prior
right to any portion Of the land, except
that taken up as homesteads, led many
to change their minds at the last mo
ment i
At the.explratlon of 10 days, the state
will 'have selected all the land that it
desires and 4 hen the rest will be open
to the public If any of this land
chosen by the claim seekers Is Included
In the portion retained by the state

however, especially when 'they have
taken possession of the land. -' After It "

It was ststed by C. B. Reynolds, an at

choice from this land.
At the end of the (0 davs allow!
for. the state to make its choice or the

office and If two or more have entered
upon the same property, a hearing will
be had to decide which la to have pos

From ' Inquiry among the settlers It:
wss learned that several will enter on
the same claim and as all the parties
have built squatters' cabins, and have
resided on the premises for different
