The regular weekly meeting of the
city council took place iast night with
Mayor Bmlth and Aldermen Happ,
Bloan, McKenna, Mansenberg, Damour.
Chestney, Massee. Redmond and Wil
liams present The session was some
what more lengthy than usual, but the
regular routine business was the prin
cipal work of the body.
The principal work of the session was
the decision to have all three of the
buildings at Central City park built of
brick Instead of two as waa formerly
the plans, and tne more Important ac
tion of empowering the mayor to sell
$20,000 worth of bonds, voted some
time ago, in order that the auditorium
may be erected.
Petitions*
The petition of Heard Brog. for Ux
rebate was deferred to the finance
committee. The petition was entered
on the grounds of claims that the com
pany had assisted In the removal of
the sewer on Poplar street in front of
tneir place of business and had thus
expended a sum of money which In
tne case of another concern had been
the cause of a tax rebate.
The petition of the Equitable Bank
ing and Loan Company for a reduction
in taxes was referred to the finance
committee. The petition claimed that
the assessment had been on $40,000
worth of stock, whereas the real worth
of stock and money would only amount
to 915,501, The claim was made that
an assessment of $25,000 was made on
the same stock last year and the com
pany had paid taxes on this amount.
The petition of Dr. O. C. Olbson and
Hupcrlntendent Wlmhush of the coun
ty convict camps for the release of Will
Holden, a negro prisoner at the camps
under sentence from the recorder's
court, was granted: The petition stat
ed that the negro had consumption
and If allowed to remain longer In the
camp was likely to die there. This,
stated the petitioners, might give
cause for another report that we had
beaten some one to death. Golden
went to the camp suffering from the
present trouble, according to the state
ments of the county physician and the
superintendent.
The petition of Mlttle Peterson for
the remission of the fine Imposed on
Jeff Dixon nt the recorder's court waa
referred to the police committee.
A colored organisation asked for the
use of Central City park on July 30,
this was granted.
Reports.
City Treasurer A. It. Tinsley called
the attention of council to an ordinance
of 1*87 which required the deposit of
the city's funds In the several banka
of the city. The matter was discussed
and then referred to the city attorney
for advice.
The clerk of the market reported a
sum of $142 for the rentals at the
market during the past week.
A number of bills were presented and
ordered pnld at the recommendation of
the finance committee. There was
some discussion of the payment of
$100 to an Insurance expert employed
In the collection of the Insurance on
the burned fair bulldlnga. Alderman
Happ claimed that the city ought not
to be Indebted to any Insurance ex
pert after losing $3,000 on the policies
held by the city. The bill was ordered
paid.

1904. This report was accepted by the
body and adopted.
The discussion of accepting instead
of taxes on property of E. P. Smith a
lot adjoining that In question waa
lengthy and resulted in referring the
matter again to the city attorney and
the finance committee for further con
sideration. The effort of the committee
was to have the city accept a lot of
land a# payment of taxes long due the
city on the property. The committee
assured the council that not leas than
$500 would \*% realized from the sale,
but when It was learned that this
would likely have to satisfy a $900
claim there whs considerable objection.
The property In question la at the cor
ner of Forsyth and Monroe streets.
The petition of W. Amason for the
reimbursement of money paid out on a
damage suit for alleged false arrest
was again returned to council by this
committee. After a long discussion of
the case a motion to grant the petition
was carried and the officer will get
payment, of $35 from the city.
The special committee on the ques
tion of bonds for the erection of an au
ditorium made a report and the mayor
was Instructed to dispose of $20,000
worth for that purpose. The committee
made, reference to the effort to get the
auditorium ready for the quarters of
the United Htates courts and stated
that something ought to be done to ac
complish the erection of the building
In time. The committee stated that
they had knowledge that some of the
citizens would take the bonds at par
with some reference to the payment of
a commission for the disposal of the
bonds, the motion to Instruct the may
or to dispose of the above amount was
carried. The suggestion that the-mayor
ought to allow a commission for the
sale of the bonds In the event that he
could not otherwise dispose of them
did not meet with favor and the sale
will be made on face value.
The public property committee rec
ommended that the park buildings be
let to the Woman's Missionary Conven
tion. colored, provided that electric
lights he used at the cost of the con
vention. This recommendation was ac
cepted.
The Bibb Stone and Tiling Company
waa given the use of the old Ivey wood
yard at the foot of Mulberry street un
til the city attorney could further In
vestigate the enforcement of an ordi
nance which might prohibit the leasing
of the property to any one.
A lengthy discussion of the contract
which Is to be made between the city
nnd the contractor at Central City
Park on the new Fnlr bulldlnga result
ed In the Instruction to the architect to
have the buildings all erected in brick.
The decision will necessitate the addi
tion of a sum of $400. but this waa also
voted upon and carried. The council
limited the extra coat on making the
machinery hall brick to an amount of
$800. The contractor will have until
October 1 to complete his work accord
ing to the contract as rend and agreed
upon last night. *
Alderman Hloan referred to the re
moval of the grand atnnd at Central
Cltv Park across to the opposite side
nnd stated that some action ought to
be taken. After some discussion Mayor
Bmlth auggested that the huslnesa be
referred to the committee on public
property and the matter took this
course.
W. B. Paulin waa given an en
croachment on the corner'of Hnxel and
College streets for the sum of $100.
Council then adjourned after a sea
alon of nearly two hours.
Women and Children With the Strik*
ers—Question of the Minimum of
Wages—Cause of Disagreement Due
to Payments to Unskilled Labor and
the Lack of Steady Work in the
Factories.
Mr. II. F. Btroh$cker. attorney for
the parties, yesterday received notice
that the claims of Messrs. L. Lamif .
K. J. Whittle and M. T. Barlow, old
Confederates, for horaes given up when
they surrendered In ISIS, had beet) al
lowed by the war department of the
United States. When Gen. Lee sur
rendered the armies of the Confed
erate states to Gen. Grant, one of the
articles of surrender stipulated that
the soldiers of the Confederate armies,
owning horses there In servlet, should
retain their horses or mounts. But
when the soldiers actually surrendered
were paroled their mounts were taken
by the United Htates, save In a few
Instances.
Recently congress passed an act au
thorising the secretary of war to pay
for these horses upon proper proof be
ing filed, thus after nearly forty years
rectifying the great hardship placed on
an impoverished people. Mr. Htro-
hecker had filed the above claims, and
the proofs submitted being satisfac
tory they are allowed and will be paid.
Thery was little delay and action was
prompt. There are many old cavalry
men who gave up their animals with
then much hope upon their return to
their family. This payment will be a
benefit to them In their old age. All
who owned their mounts, surrendered
nnd were paroled and deprived of their
anlmala are entitled to payment.
CHICAGO, July 12.—As the result of
a stubborn disagreement, chiefly over
wAges for unskilled labor, one of the
most extensive strikes in the history of
United Btates began today in Chicago,
Kansas City, Omaha, 8t. Josepjh, Mo.,
and other cities where large packing
plants are located. If prolonged the
strike la expected to cause wild spread
Inconvenience, possibly equalling the
anthracite coal famine of two years
ago.
The unanimity of the strike was
complete. More than 45,000 employees
are directly Involved. In Chicago
alone 18,000 men are on strike.
The effect of the strike upon the food
■upply of the country and the prices
of meats Is being earnestly discussed,
notwithstanding the announcement to
night that the packing houses, con
trary to somewhat general expeptatlon,
will continue to eperato without any
close-down, employing whatever help
may be obtainable. How much a!
leviatlon in thfe furnishing of supplies
to the public this will bring about is
a matter of wide variation of oplnlorf.
The packers declare that hundreds of
men who could not be provided with
places have been applying dally for
work. ,
The walkout here was started by
employees of the killing departments
at the various packing houses. The
killers were followed by the workers
In other departments as fast as the
current work left by the slaughters
could be cleared up. Thus ss the
workers In each department dlsposel of
their part of the work they threw off
their aprons and departed. This con
sideration was shown the packers, the
labor officials' announced, because It
waa not the desire of the men to cause
the employers any financial loss ns a
result of neglecting meat that waa
hand to he dressed.
Watched by cordons of police, the
strikers filed briskly out of the packing
houses, carrying overalls, rubber boots
and knives, cleavers and steels. The
strikers were greeted by crowds of
women and children, many of whom
Joined hands with the workmen on the
the outward march. Whatever the fu
ture may have In store In the way of
riots, there was today absolutely no
sign of disorder.
A picturesque scene was presented
when the sausage factories and can
neries were left by their forces. There
ere 1,000 girls employed in these two
departments of the meat industry.
Clad In the variegated garb of factory
girls, this army of feminine strikers
trlped blithely along the main
thoroughfare of the stock yards and
were roundly cheered as they emerged
through the gates and distributed
themselves In the crowd of men who
had awaited their coming.
'We're with yon to the last,” the girls
exclaimed, smiling ns they stood
around and talked over the situation
with their mnle companions In the
movement.
President Michael Donnelly, of the
Amalgamated meat cutters and butch
er workers of North America, the lead
er of the strikers, said In r conversa
tion this evening that he believed the
Strikers would have little difficulty In
withstanding a siege of more than a
year with the strike funds the unions
have on hand. v
In Chicago there are thIrty-Avfe lo
cal unions Involved In the strike.
President Donnelly and the presidents
of the various locals assembled at the
hendquarterfl this morning thinking
they might receive a notice of surren
der from the puckers. But no word
came. The packers took the position
that they had replied decisively to the
workers' demand* and had nothing
more to say except to emphasize a re-
