ordinary mud, and when It is stirred
up tho propcllors of tho launches nnd

to the Interests of tho working classes,
on whom tho burdens of protoctlon

STRIKE AT AN END
Tho Packing Houso Workmen
Troubles Declared Off.
TO EMPLOY OLD UNION MEN
Flrt Tlmo In HUtorr HMIIert Workman
Struck to Improve Unklllad
Labor nnd Failed.
The strike of tho butcher workmen,
which has demoralized tho meat-packing
industry throughout tho country
for the last two months, has been offi
cially declared off by President
Michael J. Donnelly of tho Amalga
mated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen of America. Mr. Donnelly
telegraphed tho members of tho na
tional executive commltteo asking
their consent to the announcement of
tho end of tho strlko, and having re
ceived favorable answers from all, ho
declared that tho strlko of tho mem
bers of his organization would end.
The strlko of tho members of tho
affiliated unions at tho stock yards
who quit work in sympathy with tho
butchers will officially be called off nt
n meeting of tho conferonco board of
the allied trades. This was decided
upon at a meeting of tho central body
of tho allied trades.
The general body was at first in fa
vor of continuing the strike, but Mr.
Donnelly announced that tho men wero
defented nnd that in order to savo the
union from being disrupted ho would
order his men to return to work, no
matter what course might bo taken by
other unions. As tho other unions
had no grievances, but had gone on
strike to Rid the butchers, thero was
nothing left for them but to follow
the lead of Mr. Donnelly, and thoy,
too, decided to call off tho strike as
far as they were concerned.
When the packers were notifled that
it had been decided to end tho strlko
thoy announced that they would glvo
places aa far as possible to tho skilled
men, but at tho same tlmo many of
these men would be unablo to securo
their old places, as In many cases tho
work wus being performed in a satis
factory manner by men who had been
secured slnco tho commencement of tho
strike. It is expected that the major
ity of the unskilled men will bo unablo
to securo their old places again. It
was a question of wage sculo for this
class of men that brought about tho
strike, the packers refusing to sign an
agreement with any class other than
skilled workmon.
During tlio strike approximately C3,
000 persons have been involved In the
Btrugglc, which is estimated to havo
coot tho mon about $5,000,000 in wages
ns against an estimated loss of $7,500,
000 to the packers in loss of business
nnd in Increased expenses.
UNION PACIFIC CHANGES
Line lletween Lincoln and lleatrleo I
llclnc Made Flrit-Cinift.
Heavy Improvements to tho right of
way of tho Union Pacific havo been go
ing forward between Lincoln and Bea
trice in a quiet way for nearly two
weeks. Ono largo gang is now bal
lasting tho roadbed and replacing tho
light rails with steel of tho standard
weight between Valparaiso and Han
Ion, and others will bo put on tho
work soon. This Is only a part of tho
extonslvo improvements to tho system
planned by Mr. Harrlman slnco tho
calling in of tho general retrenchment
order issued by President Burt a year
ago, and will contlnuo all over tho Ne
braska nnd Kansas lines.
Tho present work on tho Union Pa
cific will includo all tho trackago be
tween Lincoln nnd Beatrice. This will
allow tho uso of tho latest high grado
engines. New and heavier steel
bridges will bo put in whero necessary,
and everything will bo dono to make
tho road equal in cqulpmont to any
other.
Another lino of Improvement will bo
carried on between Lincoln and Oma
ha. Contractor McGulro, of Kansas
City, has been In Lincoln looking after
the awarding of tho work, and It is
likely that ho will havo tho construc
tion of tho improvements contem
plated. Heavy rails will bo laid, nnd
tno linages strengthened or rebuilt. It
la probablo that somo now grades will
bo established, and In ono or two cases
a change In tho course of tho track
effected to overcome bad grades. Tho
Marysvlllo cut-off is another of tho
great changes promised by tho Union
Pacific, and this will mako Lincoln
more Important a point than it has
ever been.
