CONFLICTING STATEMENTS
A representative of the St. Louis
Dressed Beef and Prov Islon Companj said
last night that a ftw- of tho striking
batchers applied for work at the corn
pan) ' pi int jesterday and were received
Tho strike leaders denj this report and
saj that all the strikers were present at
the regular mass meeting jesterday morn
ing ard expressed the'r determination to
remain out so long as the general 'strike is
not settled.
At the dally meeting at No 1310 Frank
lin avenue jesterday mornins several of
the men reported that thei were ap
Ptoached Tuedaj night by representa
tives of one of the downtown emplojment
agencies and ofTcred good wages and a
benus in monej to return to their old
places. It Is said that 150 men were thus
approached, tome of them as late as 11
o'clock. The strike leaders saj that the
offer was not accepted in a single case.
and that the men are more determined
than ever because it was made, thinking
that tho packers are in close quarters.
Offlcers of the St. Louis Dressed Beef
iind Provision Company said last night
that this action was not taken on their
authority. They said, however, that they
had learned of a certain emplojment
egencj vhich was making strong efforts
to place the strikers with their old em
ploj era.
The downward tendency of prices on all
fresh meats which have been affected bj
the strike vas still noticeable jestcrdaj'.
It was reported bv several butchers that
both beer and pork have fallen about one
quarter of a cent a pound and that veal
and mutton have dropped one-half a cent.
Tho St. Louis Dressed Beef and Pro
vision Companj operated its plant yester
day to about the same extent as on pre
vious dajs of the week. It was reported
that thej killed 146 cattle and 2S0 hogs. As
before, the strikers denv tint the packers
could have handled that number.

come. cr a sTArr correspondent
St. Joseph, Mo , Julj' 27 There was
trouble from the beginning when the Res
olutions Committee met this afternoon.
No sooner had the doors been closed than
it was buggestea that Nathan Frank of
SL Louis be made chairman
Arthur Kammerer of the Eleventh Dis
trict, a Rasseur boomer. Immediately put
a quietus on Frank by reading an edito
rial from his paper, the St Louis Star,
advocating tho election of Folk.
C G. Burton of Nevada, suggested A.
P. Murphy of Pulaski, who wan dismissed
as attorney for the Cherokee Indians
after he had preferred charges against
Federal officials in the Tcrritorj. State
Senator Kennlsh, who has lined up against
Federal officeholders, wanted to know
about Murphj's dismissal Murphy imme
diately offered to tell everything, includ
ing his charges against the officials, but
finally said to end the controversj hp
would withdraw his name
Frank then suggested Alonzo Tubbs for
chairman and all agreed
Then a subcommittee composed of Tubbs
of the Ninth. Seldcn P. Spencer of the
Twelfth, and F. M. Hayward of Kanas
Citj, was appointed to lira ft a platform
Frankroffered a short platform Another
that had been prepared b H H. Mitchell
of Clinton. W. J Sklnker of Balwar,
Charles Nagel of St. Louis. Cliff Harrison
of Gallatin. V. J. Sail of Carthage and
Richard Dalton of Saverton
The subcommittee Reported at 6 o clock
to the full committee.
Nathan Trank presented two nntl-Aklns
planks One of them pledged opposition
to Federal office holders having places on
partj- committees The other put It in the.
power of the State commmlttees naming
tho Stata chairman He asked hrleflj- for
their adoption but found no support The
platform as drawn bj the subcommittee
was adopted.
In this platform was a plank to satisfy
M IV. Gustln of th Salem Republican
Headlight, and the Globe-Democrat, on
discrepancies. It is brief, but was deemed
sufficient to hold them In line. Gustln
has been busy here, insisting that his
lobby not be Ignored.

Washington. Julj 27 It was learned
upon good authority to-dav that the State
Department has taken up anew the Waln

While details are lacking, it is under
stood that the renewed activities upon
the part of State Department officials was
prompted by the Initiative of Circuit At

Sollc'tor Penfleld of the department,
when seen bj The Republic correspondent
to-dav, would not talk about the case.
Questioned as to whether he had received
anj- communications from Folk or Gover

It ca- be said at this time that rormcr
efforts on the part of Secretary Haj to
make existing treaties with France retro
active and in this waj secure the earlj le

There Is a probability, however, that the
treaty will be made to cover the Waln
