EVERYTHING QUIET
IN THE STOCK
President Donnely of the Butch
ers Union Says That the De
mands Are Reasonable
Walk Out Is Extending to All Trust
pany Packing Houses in the Middle
States
Chicago, July 13. Everything was
in a peaceful condition in the stock
1 yards this morning. Here and thoro
(a knot of strikers were to ho seen
talking over the situation, but there
I was no disorder, except in the case
fwhere a number of Poles upset a
fcouple cinder wagons. Eighty negroes
were taken Into the plants last night
tto assl&t In transferring the beef to
the coolers. Most of the work being
done is in the nature of a clean-up,
getting the odds and ends together.
(Several hundred police are within
easy reach of the yards should trouble
appear. President Donnelly, of the
Butchers' Union, thi3 morning said to
i a Scrlpps News representative that
I all that is being asked of the packers
Is that 18 cents an hour be the mln-
imum price for laborers, and, in view
of the fact that the average working
Ulme In nearly all of the departments
Ib less than 40 hours per week, it
could readily be seen that the do
mands of tho union were reasonable
All Independent companies, Donnel
Hy said, are paying a much higher

I New Idea
Are the most practical on the market. They make no seam allow-
ances. The old-style pattern, with wide seam allowances call lor
more goods than necessary, often wasting a half yard of 54-inch
goods, worth $1.00 to $2.00 per yard.
Make your own seam allowances, according to the nature of the
fabric you are using. This is where you find the true economy of
New Idea patterns.

Omaha, Neb., July 13. The number
of btrlkers now out at the packing
plants aggregate 5500. Packers de
clare that they will run the plants,
and are said to be offering 19 cents

though one man was beaten up thl9
morning while seeking work.
St. Louis, July 13. Despite tho
fact that 4500 employes of the four
large packing plants have struck, Ar
mour's manager claims that the com
pany will continue to slaughter, and
that enough men will be secured In
the course of the day to fill the places
of the strikers. Other packers make
similar statements. There have been
no demonstrations by the strikers,
but the police are prepared for troubles
Kansas City, July 13. There were
no desertions in the packing strikers'
rankB this morning nor did tho pack
ers hire any laborers. The packing

POPULISTS
ENTER
FIELD
Leaders Say They Will Put
up a Full Electoral
Ticket
Prominent Salem Populists say
there will be a complete electoral
ticket of that party placed before the
voters at tho coming presidential elec
tion, and they expect to poll more
votes than the Democrats.
Bryan's cold bla3t for Parker is
having the effect to drive the scat
tered forces of the Populists together
and will get out a big vote for that
party, which seeks to get back part
of its following that has drifted to
the Socialists.
Advices are expected from tho East
and then steps will be taken to put uty
a Watson electoral ticket. Watson
has the confidence of tho People'3
party, and will poll a big vote in. Ore
gon should a ticket be put in the field
for him in Oregon.
Populists say that Parker is more
radical as a goldbug than Roosevelt,
and more fully representative of Wall
street and'the trusts than the RepubV
llcan candidate. Hence their action.

MESSAGE
Indian Territory Town Prom
ises Him Great Support
in Election
Esopus, July 13. Muskogee, Indian
Territory unfurled the first flag of tho
campaign yesterday, If a telegram
from three citizens this morning is
rightfully understood. It says:
"Muskogee, in tho first election
after your nomination, always claimed
by the Republicans, went Democratic.
Th territory is on fire with uncon
querable Democratic zeal."
Tho humor of the message lies in
tho fact that no one in the territory
can vote for President. Savo for the
telegram and the arrival of 200 let
ters, Parker spent his usual quiet
day.'Sheehan left for Now York thts
morning, and while there tho date of
the meeting of the national commit
tee will be fixed. Practically all the
intervening time until election will be
spent by Candidate Parker at Esopus,
and there will be no "swing around
the circle," but toward tho last he
will visit a few of tho larger cities
where the fight i hottost. Cleveland
will deliver one address, but Bryan's
intentions here are unknown. To dato
no congratulations from Bryan.
