H SOUTH SIDE
CONDITIONS NORMAL
AFTER BIG STRIKE
;
South 'Siders Breath Sigh of
Belief as Packing House
Laborers Go Back "to
Work Again.
Last week 5,000 South- Side work
men were on strike. The four large
packing houses were practically tied
up. Restless crowds paced the streets,
South Side, old ia experience with
strikes, held its breath. The air was
full of rumors strikebreakers, scabs,
shots, riots. Feeling was tense.
Lite Tuesday afternom the strike
was settled.
Wednesday morning found South
Side normal again. Every workman
was in his place. The big packing
houses were turning out their quota of
the world's meat. AH was busy and
natural.
There is an undercurrent of glad
ness in South Side. South Siders feel
it and respond to it. Grocers are glad
that their patrons are getting paid
again. The strikers, mostly persons
who need their pay, are glad to be on
the job again. The packers are glad
that their big plants are busy again.
South Side is experiencing that feel
ing of relief which people feel when
come dread disease has been enar, but
passed on.
v Military Carnival Plans Not
Affected by Boys' Leaving
The boys of Company D of the
, "Dandy Sixth" will probably be in
Deming when their military carnival
is being staged in- South Side. South
Side business men have assured the
boys that they will push the carnival
and make it a success.
Canteens, built to reproduce JLht
original army canteens, will be erect
ed at the carnival grounds. Since the
boys of Company DvVill not be here
i to take charge of the canteens, the
Red Cross women of the South Side
. have been asked to give their services
in running the canteens.
A big arch will be built over the
entrance of the grounds at Twenty-
" fourth and 0 streets. The Nat Reiss
, shows will furnish attractions at the
carnival. They had charge of the
military carnival in Council Bluffs
last week and cleared over $8,000 for
the soldier boys there., South Side
men say that they expect the carnival
here to be just as big a success as
the one in Council Bluffs.

right to blow out the lights," chuckled
Pcflice Judge Madden.

the Country's most important and
valuable crops. Forecast of pro
duction in the five important bean
growing states, Michigan, Cali
fornia, New York, Colorado and
New Mexico, announced by the De
partment of Agriculture today in a
special report, shows 19,969,000
bushels, compared with 8,846,000
bushels last year and 10,321,000
bushels in 1915.

plant faces the shipping board in con
ferences it is holding with Seattle
builders and labor representatives.' At

ment had bten reached.

plants in which construction has been
l commandeered bv the government ask
wage increases approaching 33 per
cent ' If similar increase were given
hip, yard workers throughout the
tountry it would cost the government
Ibout $200,000,000 a year to be added

The shipping board will have to pay
any wage advances in yards in which
construction has been commandeered,
as the contracts taken over provide

the vessels. In the Seattle yards the
builders are backing the workers in
their demands.

Austrian Official Says
Country Can't Hold Out
Geneva, Sept ( 14. The Freie
Zeittfng of Berne publishes an ar
ticle from a high Austrian official
who recently traveled through sev
eral sections of this country, in
which the writer states that Atre-tro-Hungary
cannot hold out the'
coming winter, owing to economic
reasons, as both soldiers and civil
ians will be starved. He gives sev
eral reasons, notably the almost
'complete destruction of the crops in
the richest regions of Hungary by
the cold and the heavy rain, while
300,000 tons of Roumanian1 cereals
could not be transported,- owing to
lack of rolling stock, which, first of
all, is utilized for military purposes.
In the meantime, he says, the neces
saries of life are mounting to ex
traordinary prices.
