In spite of the strict orders from Chicago received In this city early today not to resort to violence under any circumstances, the striking meat cutters had pickets around all the packing centers on the east and west sides. and their conduct was so threalsning that extra police guards were called out to guard the plants and the nonunion mcn who are working in them.

Fifty more were taken to the slaughter house of Schwarzchil St Sulzberger at 4Gth St and 1st av touay on a tugboat. and they went to work in the face of the jeers of the crowd. The strikers are now making an effort to get at these men, in the hope that argument may accomplish what execration and some violence has failed to do. In this city beef and other dressed meats remain at famine prices, but a strike of the firemen and engineers, endangering the reserve supply. as it would probably result in another big advance in price.

Other foodstuffs have advanced with meats, but there are plenty of them in the market, and the Increase is not a serious one.

Asked for Five-Cent Fare From Center to Lexinztens Warm Words Are Spoken at Meeting Today.

There were some rather warm words spoken before the railroad commissioners today. when the board heard the protest of citizens of Woburn, in which citizens of Lexington joined against the Increase in the faro charged by the Lexington Boston railroad between Woburn center and Lexington center. In outline the casa wa.s very similar to that of Bedford and Billerica railroad recebtly heard by the board. The railway company. to avoid the evils of the overlapping fares system, abandoned the old center to center Idea, and decided to give a 5-cent fare only between town limits.

In the case of Bedford and Billerica a compromise was reached whereby the company agreed to take care of the heal traffic through trip tickets between town centers. Today 20-ride trip tickets. on the 5-cent fare basis. were also offered to the people of Woburn and Lexington. The offer was not accepted.

Mayor Feeney of Woburn called for a. five-cent fare. Unrestricted. between Woburn center and Lexington center. He claimed that the company had not treated the people fairly.

and had not lived up to the promises made when the franchise was granted. The mayor waxed warm and suggested that there was such a thing as ripping up ft cornpany'a tracks unless the citizens were granted what they were after. Counsel Coolidge for the company interjected "Go ahead and rip them up." While Voluirn was represented at the hearing by Mayor Feeney, the town of Lexington was represented by Selectman Stone and counsel Lang. 'rho claim was raised that the trip ticket offered by the company was too expensive for many of the people Of Woburn and vicinity. "Not all our pee-Pie, said Mayor Feeney, "can afford to buy these trip books.

The books are nontransferable. and therefore one must be purchased for every member of the family using the For the company. counsel Coolidge stated that the earnings of the company were very small. Mayor Feeney insisted that the company knew when It started that its earnings would be small for afeW years. The mayor said the company VMS very profuse In its Promises when it appeared before the aldermen for a franchise.

Ile said they would never have received the franchise if the aldermen believed that they would increase their fares from 5 to la cents over a piece of road less than five miles long. The railroad commissioners, however. are disposed to let the company try the experiment of issuing the 1.Si-trip tieket as in the case of Bedford and Billerica. In fact. chairman Jackson so decided at the close of the hearing today.

Beef and other meats are no higher In price in Boston today. either at retail or wholesale. Trade continues light. The prophecies of the wholesale jobbers, so far as to local conditions, have been correct. They have said that prices would not rise.

That statement, made three days ago. has held good. It remains to be seen whether it continues so favorable. The market is strong and ehows no outward signs of being easier. A trip through the local retail markets this morning found the dealers anxious to sell and asking no more than yesterday.

Their trade has gone to pieces. and of course they are glum. Some have plenty of beef on hand and can't sell it. Others have only small supplies. The situation in each shop varies according to the view that the I proprietor takes of the strike.

If he considers that it will be a long, hard battle, he is probably pretty well stocked up. If he thinks the trouble will be adjusted in a few days he is carrying a short supply and buying from the jobber when he needs it. Those who are grumbling over the meat trade conditions of today should not forget that two or three years ago there was a short corn crop in the west and prices of cattle went up to the skies and beef sold in Boston at higher rates every day for a long time than is now being asked. There was no strike then. The conditions of supply and demand governed the market as they do now.

It may be interesting to know that there seems to be a feeling in Boston that the Chicago strike will not be a short one. It is true that this is only an impression, but those who know something of the questions Involved feel that if both parties stand to their guns, a long fight will necessarily result. On the other hand, if they should agree to arbitrate the questions at issue the strike would come to an abrupt end. Boston seems to think at present that the two parties are not likely to agree for some time. Last Saturday a representative of the Globe interviewed N.

E. Hollis. the large Boston commission merchant anti receiver of Swifts Chicago dressed beef, as to the situation. Mr Hollis was very much afraid of being misquoted and so he wrote down what he had to say. The Globe published what he had to say exactly as he gave It In was enclosed properly in quotation marks.

Seme readers of this paper saw the article teed attributed incorrectly to Mr Hollis other statements in the article of which he knew nothing and for which he was in no way responsible. The rest of the news article was the view of the representative of the Globe gained after visits to many wholesale and retell markets. In this morning's Globe there appears a communication from A. L. Stark of the Washington market.

a retailer In which he apparently attributed to Mr Hollis statements oistside the quotation marks. Mr Hollis this morning on seeing the critielem of himself desired the Globe to publish the following brief reply which in justice to him is reprodueed herewith: -To the Editor of the GlobeIn your statement of last Saturday several of the retail butchery; have taken exceptions to that article. attributing the whole of it to nie. In that article, which was pcinted, all that I said was: 'People need not get excited and think there Will be a beef famine. That cannot be.

All kinds of meat sold lower at wholesale yesterday than "For farther remarks in that piece I am not responsible. I am. "Yours very truly. E. Hollis." The representative who secured the Interview can add that the above statement is all that Mr Hollis authorized and is all that was published as coaling from him.

It is interesting to note that the prediction of Mr Hollis that there would be no beef famine seems right so far. If any one wants to buy meat and pay a little more for it than was risked before the strike. he can get ell no wants most anywhere. The retailers are asking prices whieh give them only a fair profit, it is said. There is plettty of beef in New England today to feed everybody for a long time even if tha receipts from the west dwindle to half the usual amount.

Perhaps it is a good plan to take the atIVIVC of Mr 1143111s and "not get excited." WILL EXTEND THE STRIKE. Expectation in Kansa City Labor Circles if a Peace Agreement is Not Reached In Chicago. WANSAS crnt, Mo. July 19A general strike of all trades allied with the butchers and killers is expected in labor circles today unlefs peace agreement is reached at Chteago. In this event it is believed SOO men wIll go out and the packing house industry here be tied up completely.

WANTED TO HANG A MAN. Strike Sympathizer at St Paul Calls for Rope and is ArrestedBail Was Refused. ST PAUL. Minn. July 13Although Pre Willis of the Butchers union promised Gov Van Sant that the pickets about the entrance to the Swift packing house would be removed.

the plant was effectively nlockaded today when the orrice force arrived for work. A determination seemed to prevail to keep everybody out of the plant but the officials of the and the women stenographers. No arrests were made during the early hours.

Omaha Packers Give Notice That They Can Slaughter 1500 Cattle and 6000 Hogs Daily. OMAHA. Neb. July 19Quiet prevails today among the 5500 striking employes of the South Omaha packing plants. Few.

if any. of the old men have returned to work. but the packers have given formal notice to the live stock exchange that they are prepared to slaughter 1501) cattle and 14,00 hogs daily. Packing house managers say that with police protection they can secure and place at work all the men they need. GREAT DEMAND FOR FISH.

Temporary Relief in the Beef Famlna on the East Side in New York Lull at Packing Houses. NEW YORIC. July 19Temporary relief in the beef-strike situation in the crowded East side district, came today with the of the Jewish fast of Ab. During this fast, which continues for nine days all the orthodox Hebrews will abstain from meat of any kind. With all the kosher markets closed.

it is thought that the limited supply of beef available may be Made to meet the demand for the present at least. At the same time all the fish markets in the lower part of the city will be called upon to supply unprecedented demands. Quiet prevailed in the packing-house centers today, and with few exceptions business was practically at a standstill. No trucks of the packing houses were PATROLMEN USE FISTS Come to Blows in No. 2 Station House.

John A. McDonald Pushd Against Car 'stein. Latter Hit Out and Was Struck in Return, Two policemen had a fight in a Boston station house yesterday morning, and according to the story that came out today, one of them was knocked senseless by a blow from the fist of his adversary. It is said that he was "out," as the prize fighters have it, for several minutes, and it was feared at first he had been seriously injured. Capt Gaskin.

who is in command of division 2, in the station house of which the fight occurred, and other police officers as well tried to suppress all news of the row, and not a word concerning it leaked out until today. According to so much of the story as got loose today, the day platoons of division 2 were I nthe guardroom of the station house, lined up for roll-call at 8, and as the men were falling Into line in front of Capt Gaston, who was about to call the roll, some one pushed patrolman John A. McDonald against the back of Carl Caristein. The latter has long been the butt of jokes around the station house, and according to the story of what immedt'ately ensued, he drew MEI line at being jostled at roll-call, and turning Quickly around structik McDonald in the chest with his fist. McDonald was injured some time ago in a yachting accident and hasn't yet recovered his full strength, but he had enough to defend himself, and it is said that the right hard swing he landed on Calsteins jaw was one that would have done credit to a Jeffrie.

At any rate it did the business for Craristein. for he is said to have measured his length on the floor with a thump that jarred the windows and Is said too have been unconscious for two or three minutes. McDonald was stopped before he could do any more damage to Calstein, who was revived by the other police-me nin the station house. Capt Gaskin, who prides himself on the men he has under him, was furious at he fight in his presence, and it was over before he could raise a hand to stop it. Sergt Morse was also in the guard room, but he wasn't close enough to McDonald and Carlstein to prevent their fighting.

Capt Gaskin has preferred charges against both men, and they will be tried by the full board of police. The sympathy of the policemen on the division is almost unanimously with McDonald. who is one of the most popular men in the hcuse. Ills associates say he was not to blame for being pushed against Carlstein, and that he had no chance to explain before Carl-stein struck him in the presence of the captain. sergeant and full day platoon, and that he hit back only in self defence.

Caristein hes been in hot water in about every station where he has served and has had more or less trouble with eeveral other men in division 2. WHY MILES WITHDREW. Saw Danger of Dissension Caused by iHs NameSays Temperance People Could Elect President. CHICAGO, July 19John G. Wooley of this city has received a letter from Gen Nelson A.

He declares that if the temperance people of the country could get together they could elect a president and "break off the partnership of the government with the saloon." GRAND LODGE OF THE ELKS.
