CHICAGO. July 25. —-Chlcago's sym-
pathetic general strike at the stock
’81de predicted by its leaders to be
theé'grestest and most expensive this
country has ever known, began at 10
airlock today, when thousands of team-
star's, cattle handlers and members of
the mechanical trades quit work and

’ rs went into
refused to join the pro-conference but 1
ten days, with individual arbitration
at all questions of alleged discrimina-
on.
One of the strongest arguments of-
fered by the opponents of a general
strike order was that it would prevent
the unions from using one of their
strongest weapons—that by which they
could prevent the big packers from
doing business, and at the same time
give their small rivals the trade. The
many commission men and others ac-
tive at the stock yards endorsed this
argument. it was urged that if the
unions were anxious to hit the big
packers hard the way to do it was to
refrain from calling out the beef hand—
lers and others employed by the Union
Stock Yards and Transit Company,
since by calling such employee out
the strikers would deprive the big
packers of only such business as is
lost during the strike. By letting the
handlers work and keeping hands off
the stock yards and transit company,
the strikers, it was claimed, would
enable the little butcher to attend to
his business and increase it. There
was no question, it was asserted, that
this increased business would to a
large extent, remain with the smaller
packers and butchers
All the big plants in the yards were
reported as killing cattle, sheep and
hogs today
Without waiting for a strike order,
about fifty carpenters employed in the
various plants, struck this morning.
An effort was made to get the mill
wrlglits to go out, but all except one,
in Armour & Company's plant, where
twenty- two are employed, rejected the
instructions and remained at work.
After the adjournment. of the peace
conference, the fact developed that the
sympathetic strike had been declared
officially authorized by the proper
boards of all allied trades at the stock
yards, with the exception of the pack-
lng house teamsters. The engineers
and firemen. to whom word could on-
ly be sent with great difficulty, were
allowed to stay at their posts until 6
D. m-
In all other departments the strike
was actually in effect for two hours or
more before the official sanction was
made public. It developed that learn-
ing lue apparent hopelessness of an
agreement, the representatives of the
allied trades, urged by President Don-
nelly, adopted resolutions commanding
the chiefs of all affected unions to en-
ter the stock yards and call upon ev-
ery organization man to quit and join
in a general strike. it was this con-
dition that the t'enmstoi's' committee of
eight found when its members return-
ed from Morris & Company's offices at
noon. immediately there was another
conference between the committee of
eight, the allied trades body and rep-
eight, the allied trades body and rep-
was still the hope that arrangements
could be made for another meeting
with the packers. ’
A mob of 5,000 strike sympathizers
attacked a bread wagon of the Heus-
ner Bakery Company that was return—
ing from making a delivery of bread
to the stock yards. and, after beating
the driver and his companion, cut the
horses loose and set fire to the wagon.
J. C. Clark, superintendent of the
bakery, who was driving the wagon,
and Edward Smith. shipping clerk,
who was with him, were both painful:
ly, but not dangerously hurt. The pa-
lice and fire departments were called
and the crowd was dispersed and the
fire extinguished. No arrests were
made, No further efforts were made
to deliver bread at the stock yards.
NEW YORK, Jilly 25.—'l‘he large
plant of Schwarzschlld d: Siilsberger
and the United Dressed Beef Company
were in operation today with full
forces of union men, all the strikers
having reported for work. Local oili-
cals of the Amalgamated Association
of Meat Cutters' and Butchers’ Work-
men say that at present conditions are
satisfactory. They have no advice yet
as to whether the new strike will
affect this city.
The general feeling among the work-
men is said to be in favor of remain-
ing at work and Business Agent Mas-
terson, of the local union, said the an-
ion leaders would be conservative in
ordering a renewal of the strike here.

spoke upon the subject. Many en-

topic were given.
The evening service began at 8

choir sang several selections very ac-

DEMOCRATS ARE GATH E‘RING.
Well-Known Politicians in New York
to Attend Committee Meeting.
NEW YORK, .liily 25.~—Deinocrais
from all parts of the country are ar-
riving in New York today, to attend
the meeting of the National committee
tomorrow. Not only members of the
committee, but other wollvknown
Democrats are now here. or will be in
attendance tomorrow. Among the
more prominent who arrived early to-
day are Senator Daniel, of Virginia
who was chairman of the committee
on platforms, at St. Louis: John P.
Hopkins. of Illinois: James M. Griggs.
of Georgia, who was ob lrman of the
Congressional campaign ommlitoe two
years ago; H, D. Clayton, of Alabama.
and .1. Taylor Ellyson, of Virginia, the
rwo latter being members of the Na-
rloiiul committee. Norman E. Mack ro
turned from Buffalo early today. Sen-
nior Daniel later started for Esopiis.
No doubt is expressed among mem-
bers of the committee about the elec-
tion of Thomas Tnggsrt as chairman.

working for Tnggart They are John

ELEVEN MILLIONS A YEAR.
Spent by Enthusiastic Amateur Pho-
togrsphers.
To supply the growing army of ama-
teur photgrapliers factories by the
score are being biiiltthroughout the
country. in a decade the sale of cam-
eras and photographic supplies of all
kinds has grown to wonderful propor-
tions, and there is every indication
that the business is far from the llmlt‘m—mm'~
of development. America leads the
world in the number and enthusiasm
of its amateur photographers. Al-
most as much money is spent on the
fad here each year as in all the coun-
tries of Europe. A conservative esti-
mate placea the total of cameras sold
in this city every year at 40,000, cost-
ing $800,000. and from the head of one
of the largest supply firms it was
learned that about $11,000,000 is an-
nually spent on cameras alone by the
amateurs of the Union.
From insignificant importance the
business of providing for amateur
snapshotters has grown almost beyond
comprehension in the last twelve
years. New men by the thousand are
employed, making cameras, , while en-
tire factories are given over to the
manufacture of the tiniest article in
an amateur's outfit. Even the manu-
facturers themselves are surprised at
the speed by which the business has
grown—Brooklyn Eagle. ..
