' "We have everything to lose and noth ing to gain." said a member of the nail ers' and packers' union at the Sixth avenue S hotel this morning. "We were perfectly satisfied with our treatment at the mills, but we think that the loaders, who do so much hard manual labor, should get off with eight hours, at $2 a. day. "Now that we are in this thing, we mean to stick until hell freezes over. Of course, if I were a single man I would have jumped the town within , twelve hours after the strike was declared, but I'm married and I've got to stick. I've never starved a winter yet." - The strikers are takijng considerable comfort in the fact that there has been for a long time a scarcity of nailers and packers, that it is a trade which cannot be readily learned and that there are mo apprentices to take the places . of the strikefs. * - Paying Men on the Street. Instead of going down to the mills to get their checks, the employes now on strike have received ample evidence that the mill owners mean what they said when they posted notices that no striker need apply for his old job after the strike is over. - Cashiers and foremen have been meeting the employes on the street crossing, all day and paying them off as soon as they could call the men by name. In spite- of this President John M. Fin ley of the International Union of Flour and Cereal Mill Employes is optimistic. "They are just trying us out," he said this morning.

This is the first thing the strikers have done-which looks like a change in their original position. .. The strikers did not seem to be alarmed at the continued operations in the mills. At strike headquarters it was asserted that .some of the mills we're running on the dummy order with but two or three millers and some Office men to do the "work, and that as soon as the flour bins were filled and it became necessary to do packing and nailing, operations would suddenly cease. The events of the night seemed to justify their contention. The nailers and packers still hold'the key to the ^situation. - In the matter of the comparative wages paid here and in other milling .centers the ..mill employes admit that the local nHiiis pay more than the average, wago "to their ^employes* but they'also assert that the" quality Of1 "r ' The Police Lunch Wagon." Chief of Police Conroy does not pro pose to have the police department patrol wagon used to further'the ends of either the strikers or the strike break ers. Last night the patrol wagon was used to convey food to the patrolmen on special duty at the mills and incldentally to the men working in the mills. The wagon was only brought into use after five union haekmen had recused to carry the food from Regan brothers' res taurant to the mills, and then, it is claimed, the mill employes resorted to sub terfuge. In order to get the food delivered. "I was down among the mills until after midnight, and I knew nothing about the use of the patrol wagon or I should have stopped It," said Chief Conroy this morn ing. A small boy with a couple of bas kets could carry all the food they need there, and besides, the wagon Isn't for that purpose. "I am not taking any sides, and I want it understood that the patrol wagon will not be used to further the Interests of either party to the disagreement." Washburn "A" Resumes. The second night of the big strike at the flour mills passed without any change in the situation other than that the number of mills actually running and making flour without the aid of union men was reduced to one-the Washburn "B."

Regardless, of the efforts of the powers to hold Bulgaria and Turkey in check and the sultan's irade for reforms in Macedonia, unceasing preparations for war continue here.

NATURE'S OWN CURE. Hyomel Cures Catarrh Without Danger* ous Drugging of the Stomach. - Not until Hyomel was discovered has it been possible to truthfully say that a rem edy for catarrh was known. This remedy is breathed through the Hyomei inhaler for a few minutes four times a day, and during that time every particle of air taken into the air pas sages and lungs is impregnated with the germ killing and health giving Hyomei. It is the only treatment that cures catarrh.. Stomach drugging often causes disor dered digestion or brings on some other diseases and never maks a permanent cure of catarrh. Hyomei not only kills the germs in the throat and nose, but penetrates to the minutest air cells in the lungs and enters the blood with the oxygen, killing the germs .in the blood. It frees the mucous membrane from poi sonous microbes and gives perfect health. A complete outfit costs but $1, and in cludes an inhaler, dropper and sufficient Hyomel for several weeks* treatment. Voegell Bros., corner Hennepin and Washington avs, have so much faith in the merit of Hyomei that they agree to return the money to any purchaser who may be dissatisfied.
