the an I hrac.te coal famine of (wo
years ago. The unanimity of the
strike was complete. More than to,000
employes are directly involved.
In Chicago alone is,000 men are ou

The effect of the strike upon the

that thu packing houses, eontiary

Watched by cordons of police, the
strikers tiled briskly out of the packing
houses, carrying overalls, rubber
boots and knives, cleavers and steels.
^ The strikers wore greeted by crowds
of women and children, many of
whom joined hands with the worknun
on the outward march. Whatever
the future may have in store in
the way of riots, there was absolutely
no sign of disorder.

of factory rls. this army of P miniuo
strikers tripping along lite thoroughfare
of the stockyards, were roundly
cheered n they emerged through the
gates and distributed themselves in
the crowd of men who had awaited
their coming. "We're with you to j
the last," the gills exclaimed, amtnitg
as thoy tood around and talked over
the situation with their malo companion
in the movement.
Arthur Meeker, of Armour & Company,
"We < 'nsider the demand
of the union for an advance in wages
of unskilled labor entirely unwarranted
by industrial conditions. Wo could
no; concede it. and proposed to submit
the Question to arbitration, which the |
union d lined to do and called .a
strike today at all our plants. Kvery
department is kept running, however.
Wo have had applications from httndr?ff
of unemployed nun for positions
at. less wages than we have
been paying and every day expect to
Increase our output."
President Donnelly, the strike leader,
said: "I wish to inako it clear
that we are not lighting for an increase
of wages, but against a do- I
' rettso. Our original demand was for
?. minimum or *gn cents an hour for
laborers. This demand was amended
aM'ter our second conference with the
packers in June. We then agreed to
a scale of 1S% cents an hour, except
Ir. Omaha and Sioux City, whore the
scale is lit cents. The packers, on
}ho other hand, refused to pay morn
tnan 1712 cents an hour and declined
O sign any agreements at all except
vith a small proportion of the workmen.
The question of wages to
stilled men was not discussed. To
unskilled workmen the average wage
was 18%. but when we asked that this
' Ik made the minimum wage they cut
it to 17% and 15 cents. A man could
live on 15 cents if he could get. steady
work, but at sonw plants the men
have been able to make Just 13 hours
a week at this wage scale. They
votlld not live on it. No one could.

Gay Crowd of txcursiouists Meet
With Horrible Accident
A COLLISION SOUTH OF CHICAGO
* " " I
Running at Forty Miles an Hour, a '
Picnic Train Plunged Into a [
Freight Which Was Backing on t
to Another Track.
Chicago, Special.?Twenty persons
were killed and about twenty-live
injured Wednesday night in a collision
on the Chicago & Eastern 111? >i.-;
Railroad, at Ctlenwood. 111. "i miles
until of Chicago. Tlie colli ion o< rnrred
between a picnic train from
Chicago, wliicli was reluming t am
Moinenee, 111., and a freight train. ;uto
the rear end of which lb" excursion
train dashed at idg'.i sp- e.l. 'i'li ,
picnic train was coming north, ami
the freight was 011 the south-bound
tiaek. A misplaced switch threw the
picnic train 011 the south hound track,
and before the engineer could apply
the breaks, it ran at forty miles an
hour into the rear of the freight.
The engine, baggage and aev nil
coaches were demolished, and the injured
wire in two of the coaches.
The picnic was the annual outing
of the members of Doremus. After
spending the day 011 the picnic grounds
at Momence the train load started on
the return trip, running in as the second
section of the regular passenger
train, which is due in Chicago at S:lh*?
p 111.
When the picnir train reached Chicago
Heights, four miles beyond Glcnv.
ood. where the accident took place,
i. was ^witched to the regular southbound
track, and although it was '.inning
north, it was given a clear track
h\ the operator at Chicago Heights until
it should reach Glemvood, four miles
away. The train, after leaving Chicago
Heights, gradually increased its
spec ! and when half the distance he
tween the two stations had been covered,
it was plunging along at the rate
of 40 miles an hour, .lust half way between
Chicago Heights and (llenwood.
there is a sharp curve. As the picnic
train tore around this on the southtrack,
a feright train was backing
fioni the south bound to the north
hound track, it was partly on both
trac ks, and no train could have passed
it in either direction. The bend is so
sharp that the engineer of the picnic
train did not see the freight until he
was almost on it. It was too late to
do anything but set the brakes, but before
they could take effect the passen
ger train smashed into the freight at
full speed. The locomotive and the
baggage car of the passenger train
went through the freight and were piled
up in a heap of wreckage on the
further side of the switch track
The first coach of the picnic train

coaches were hurled from their seats
and many of them were bruised, but
all of the serious casuallioa occurred
in the first car. The uninjured passengers
and the trainmen at once hastened
to the relief of those who were
pinned under (he wreckage. The
wreck was two miles from anywhere,
