IN STRIKE WAKE
1 Chicago, Dee.,. (U. P.V Meat prices
advanced sharply here today, the second
day of the packer employes' strike, al
though ' company officials 'continued to
maintain only a few men had quit work.
Some grades of meat, especially pork,
advanced S and 4' cents a pound. Em
ployers claimed about 1100 men re
mained away from work In Chicago to
day, while union heads placed the figure
at 150ft. . ; ' .1- "
Meetings Of strikers called by union
heads were attended by about 1200. t
All packing plants seemed to be
operating normally and the entire ship
ments of livestock to the Chicago yards
were being bought up by packers, I
According to reports to union head-
Quarters here the strike was most er
fectlve In' South St. Paul. East 6
Louis. Sioux City. Denver. . Lincoln and
Omaha. In those clUes from 60 to 100
per cent of the men were reported to
have left their work. t
Labor leaders are awaiting to deter-
- mine whether the nationwide unemploy-
ment situation Is a greater factor than
their orders to 50,000 workers to walk
out. ' " '
In the face of a storm of unemployed
which sought the Jobs to be vacated by
the strikers, many of the union i em-
pic yes are remaining at the places, offi

The heart of 'Alfred Bourke. crippled
war veteran, on Monday was soft and
tender. Today It was frozen. On Mon

Bourke was gassed once in France,

That was the beginning of the end of
his roll of 250 of government compensa

provide necessities for him while he at
tended school. . I:.;
In sacrificing his own comfort to pro
vide cheer for the object of his adora

wife, the veteran did not know that She
was married. He- became .thoroughly
and cruelly aware of the fact In munici
pal , court today, however, when Mrs.
Perkins confessed that she and her hus
band, Adrean W. Perkins, bought fine
raiment with the money she had ; re
ceived from him. i
"Sure,".' admitted the woman, we
played him for an easy mark." j
'Til say he was an easy mark." said
the husband. .
Judge . ' Roasman was , thoroughly
aroused. I

so that he may sell it and get some of

Jail wearing a Mother Hubbard gown.
And you." turning to Perkins, "will give
him that suit and overcoat so that he
may wear, them in place of that old
olive drab uniform, and spend four
months In jail wearing overalls."
So, shortly thereafter, Bourke, with
his arms laden with silk stockings, a
beaded silk dress and other apparel,
sadly sallied up Oak street.. He also
had $45. , part of, his money' which po
lice found In a mattress In the Perkins
home at 94,0 Taylor street.

Drug Agent : Doesn't
Know-Where to Jump
Which is the better, a. federal or a
municipal judge?
i This -is the question .which is rum
bling today through the mind of Wil
liam Durmott. colored, ,;. (:,
' Durmott is an alleged , druc peddler.
He has appeared before Municipal Judge
George Roasman many times, Thr last
time he thought the judge too severe.
He was promised an even harder dose If
he returned again. , Durmott doesn't like
the idea of having the jailer throw the
big key into the river after he Is behind
the bars.-.
Monday ", the Portland police caught
him selling drugs -again. At first he re
fused to plead guilty, remembering the
words of Judge Roasman. He is said to
have offered to compromise by pleading
guilty In the federal court, if the officers
would promise to keep him away from
the municipal Judge. - - ,
. The police were glad to comply. Dur
mott. was taken 'to the federal court.
His big eyes fairly snapped as the crier
called the court to order. When be saw
the stern federal - judge, enter, his
thoughts drifted back to the municipal
court. Quick as a flash, he notified the
federal prosecutor be didn't want to
plead guilty In the federal court.
, Durmott now occupies a cell in the
county jaiL - It he cannot make up his
mind definitely before December 11 the
federal grand jury win act,
88 Chickens Taken;
Thieves Sentenced to

AH. Robinson, whd was found guilty
of chicken stealing, was today fined
$100 and sentenced to 88 days a day
for each chicken. . - ,
- Mtke W am bold, who confessed. wUl go
to jail for S3 days, but will. pay no fine.
This was the judgment of Municipal
Judge Roasman In Imposing penalty
upon the pair for the theft of IS fowls
from the coops of T. H. McClintock and
from other coops in St Johns. He with
held the fine in the case of Warn bold,
he said, because Wambold did not try
to squirm from under the overwhelming
evidence against them.

cused Director A. C Newill of "pairing
off with Director Frank Shall. I
"It's going there!" shouted someone
from the audience.
"That la the place to take It." said
Thomas, in a somewhat quieter tone.
It was a noisy closing, in which the de
fense spent Its time maligning Director
Shull because he acted on complaints that
came from many sources which were cor
roborated by testimony during the Inves
tigation which he . alone secured after
i certain of his fellow board members had
turned deaf ears to the ugly rumors.
EEABT WITH BEPOBT
Then, when the case had closed. Direc
tor W. F. Woodward, not content with
having catechised Shull at a former hear
ing over a newspaper story, in which "an
Inner ring" and "Edmonstone the goat
were expressions, again drew forth the
worn clipping and appealed for "Justice
to ine ooara." - ,
Loud applause from the cohorts of the
properties department overwhelmed him.
Director Thomas. , pleased with the
demonstration, was ready to announce
the decision of the properties committee
then and there, but Shull reminded him
that his committee was appointed by' the
board to Investigate and report back to
the board.
"Tha properties committee will make
its report," said Thomas, "and I think it
snouia be done now.".
THOMAS IS HISSED
.Then Director NewlTi. chairman
of the
board, who had heretofore been a silent

: The retail value of the seizure is said
to be about $10,000.
' "That was a wonderful piece of work
to seise those drugs before they were

means 600 cases instead of one," Flegel
said. "By this arrest the government
has not only secured a good case, but
has been saved a lot of work.
Sousuka is being held in the county

hearing, Saturday before United States
Commissioner Fraxer.
