MEAT CUTTERS TO
DR. AXEL L. ANSTROM
NINETY PERCENT OPPOSED
TO GOING BACK TO
WORK
AFTER SEVEN WEEKS STRIKING
The Closest Vote Is At Oklahoma City
Where The Vote Was 180 to 121
Against Ending The
Strike.
Chicago, III.—More than 90 percent
of the striking packing house work-
ers voted recently to continue the
strike which has been in effect since
December 5, according to figures an-
nounced by officials of the Amalga-
mated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen of North America.
These figures are based on the votes
cast in East St. Louis, St. Joseph,
Mo., Oklahoma City, Kansas City,
Omaha, Sioux City, Denver, Albert
Lea, Minn., and a part of the Chicago
vote. Dennis Lane secretary of the
meat cutters’ union, said there was no
doubt that the strikers had voted over-
whelmingly to continue he strike.
According to union figures, there
■was no packing center where there
■was even a close vote on the question
of returning to work. One of the
closest votes announced was at Okla-
homa City where 180 strikers voted to
continue the strike and 121 voted to
end it.
Below is the vote announced by un-
ion officials:

100 PEOPLE ARE IMPRISONED
FERRY BOAT IS ICE-BOUND
IN STRAITS
No Discomforts According to Those
Who Walked One Mile
To Shore.
•One district only.
St. Joseph's strikers cast 700 votes
Mr. Lane said, and 98 percent of the
voters favored continuing the strike.
Albert Lea, Minn., voted 100 percent
to continue the strike, upon officials
said.
In Progress Seven Weeks.
The vote on calling off the strike
came after the strike had been in ef-
fect seven weeks a d the union’s of-
fer to settle the dispute by arbitra-
tion met with no success.
The strike was called after the
larger packing plants had negotiated
agreements directly with their em-
ployes providing for a cut in wages
and had refused to recognize the
union. The packers employed other
workmen to take the places of the
strikers and while some of the smaller
plants were badly crippled, most of
them continued to operate. The gov-
ernment attempted to arbitrate the
strike but the larger packers refused
to do so, contending there was no dis-
pute to arbitrate.
SLATED TO SUCCEED HAYS
Looked Upon as Logical Man For
Postal Generalship.
Washington, D. C.—It was stated up
on good authority here that Senator
Harry New of Indiania, would be'pick-
Mackinaw City, Mich.—More than
100 passengers were Bpending their
second night on a Duluth South Shore
and Atlantic train abroad the car fer-
ry Chief Wawatam, Ice-bound in the
straits of Mackinac, with prospects
of remaining marooned Indefinitely.
The vessel was caught in attemp-
ting to negotiate the passage from
Mlackinaw City to St. Ignace, and while
a few of the more hardy of the train’s
130 passengers have elected to make
the mile trip afoot over the ice to re-
turn here, the majority chose to stay
abroad.
The stranded passengers are' ex-
periencing no discomfort, according to
those who have come back. The ferry
carries provisions for a week or ten
days and the chair car and sleeper in
which the travelers are quartered are
well heated, It was stated.
Cards and literture are providing
means of relieving the monotony and
if time hangs to heavily "a mile
hike” offers an easy chance of escape.
The Chief Wawatam made several
Ineffectual attempts to get under way
but could move only a few feet in the
ice . The ferry Santa Maria with a
freight train abroad is In a similar
predicament, about three miles off St.
Ignace.
A transportation company in St.
Ignace planned to drive across the
straits with mail and passengers, but
the ice piled in such shape that
vehicle traffic is impossible.

Chlcaga, 111.,—Rejection of all rail-
road shop rules recently promulgated
by the United States railroad labor
board, which cut time and one-half pay
for extra work from the shopmen’s
j wages, was ordered by the committee
of 100 acting for the six railway shop
I crafts.
In a circular Issued to the 600,000
I shop workers in the country, the com-
mittee ordered new disputes over these
"hop workers in the country, the com-
. rules instituted with the railway

an agreement, the dispute were or-
i dered taken to the labor board for
I hehrlng. The circular was signed by
the international presidents of the
six shop crafts unions.
Of the seven rejected rules, the
greatest dlssatsifactlon centered on
rule six providing straight time for
regular assigned work on Sundays and
holidays. The work was previously
paid for at time an one-half. The com-
| mlttee proposed a substitute rule rein-
stating time and one-half.

WEIGHT OF TWO OR THREE
FEET OF SNOW IS
THOUGHT CAUSE
107 DEAD, MANY ARE INUREJO
Some 300 or 400 Pleasure Seekers
Were Enjoying a Comedy When
Roof Fell Burrylng Them
With Snow and Debris.
Washington—Official police records
place the known dead In ibe Knicker
bocker theater disaster at 107.
“The list of the Injured stood at 134
with fourteen listed “seriously injur-
ed.”
The official list, according to the
authorities, contained the names of
all those whose bodies had been re
covered from the ruins left when the
roof of the theater, overweighted with
snow, collapsed on the audience which
had braved the storm to witness the
comedy feautred on tho evening pro-
gram.
The volunteer workers including po-
lice, fireman, marines and cavalry
from Fort Myer had practically con-
cluded their search of the wreckage,
the only portion of what had been the
orchestra remaining to be searched
being a far corner in which it was not
expected additional bodies would be
found.
Army engineers and wrecking crews
were summoned as the work of res-
cue proceeded at the Knickerbocker
theater to shore up the walls, which
threatened to collapse on the workers
inside.
■ Shaughnessy In Theater.
Edward H. Shaughnessy of Chicago,
second assistant postmaster general,
Mrs. Shaughnessy and two daughters,
Myrtle and Ruth, were injured, Mrs.
Shaughnessy seriously, in the disas-
ter. At the Walter Reed hospital,
where Mr. Shaughnessy was taken af-
ter his rescue from the debris several
hours after the roof of the building
fell in, It was said he was suffering
from a broken pelvis and internal In-
juries.
President Harding sent Brigadier
General Sawyer, his personal physi-
cian, to the Walter Reed to make di-
rect inqury about the condition of Mr.
Shaughnessy and government employ
es caught in the theater.
The exact number in the theater
when the steel and conorete span of
the root buckled and fell under Its
three-foot load of snow probably never
will be known. The stories of pen
haps a hundred who got out uninjured
have been reported. These account
for a few more than 300 In the audl
J ence that was roaring in laughter at
a filmed comedy when the roof fell,
carrying down the front of the wide
balcony In its crash.
Normally, the theater has had every
•eat filled at that hour, and nearly
2,000 persons was Its capacity.
The building stands in an acute
angle In the corner at Eigteenth street
and Columbia Road. Northwest, the
heart of the most favored residence
section of the city. The narrow niche
of the stage on which the screen was
nung was backed into the corner
angle while to the left from the stage,
the line of the audlnece wall runs In
a straight line for some 200 feet down
Eighteenth street. To the right the
wall follows the slow curve of Col-
umbia Road for about the same dis-
tance and at the far end, paralelling * 1
the stage front, the back wall complet-
es the auditorium proper, also about
200 feet in length.

MONTHS OF
SUFFERING
How a Baltimore Girl Recov-
ered Her Health
Baltimore, Maryland.—“For several
months I suffered with severe backache
and general weak-
ness!] could not sleep
comfortably at night
for pains in my back.
I found your book at
home one day and
after reading it be-
gan at once to take
Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Com-
pound. I have had
very good results and
some of my girl
friends are taking it
i ou may use this letter to help
girls, as the letters in your book
helped me.’’ — Rose Waidner, 8018
Roseland Place, Baltimore, Md.
That is the thought so often expressed
i in letters recommending Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound. These wo-
men know what they have suffered, they
describe their symptoms and state how
. they were finally made well. Just plain
statements, but they want other women
to be helped.
| Lydia EL Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound is a medicine made from medi-
cinal roots and herbs, and without drugs,
to relieve the sickness women so often
have, which is indicated by backache,
weak feelings, nervousness, and no am-
I kiti-in to get anything done or to go
where. It has helped many women.

BAD STORM IN THE EAST
Reported To Be The Worst In Twenty-
Three Years.
Washington, D. C.—Buried under
from one to more than two feet of
snow by one of the most severe
storms In several decades the middle
Atlantic section of the country is In
valiant but mostly vain efforts to re-
sume the activities suspended recently
when the storm swept up from the
south.
The storm, described by the
weather bureau as the worst In twen-
ty-three years, had Its center slightly
north and east of Cape Cod and was
moving slowly out over the ocean, but
In Its wake from North Carolina to
southern New England and from the
coait to the Allegheny mountains all
was buried under a snow blanket.
Even aside from the theater disas-
ter the capital was hard hit, and al-
though the snow stopped falling, it
was not until long after day had dawn-
ed that the full effect was assessed.
Daybreak found the city without any
sort of street car service, its streets
blocked to impassibility with snow, Its
suburbs completely cut off, deliveries
•f bread, milk and necessities wsrt
halted by the mow.
Montevldo, Uruguay.—Sir Ernest
Shackleton, the British explorer, died
January 5, on board the steamship
Quest, on which he was making ano-
ther expedition into the Antarctic re-
gions.
Death was due to angina pectoris
and occured while the Quest was off
the Gritvicken station. The body was
brought here on a Norwegian ship,
and will be placed on board another
steamer for shipment to England.
Captain Hussey will accompany the
body home. Prof. Gruvel and other
members of the explorers’ party will
continue the expedition.
Left England In September.
Sir Ernest Shackelton was born in
1874. He was a third lieutenant in
the British national Antarctic expe-
| dition in 1901 and in 1907-09 command-
ed an expedition which got to within
ninety-seven miles of the south pole.
; He hud made his third quest of che
pole In 1914,
The expedition In which he was en-
gaged when he died was to have cov-
ered 30,000 miles of uncharted sec-
tions of the south Atlantic, the Pa-
cific and the Antarctic seas.
On board the Quest, a little 200-ton
ship, Sir Ernest set sail from England
last September on what was to have
been a two-year voyage. Large crowds
gathered on the docks in London to
wish the party a successful voyage.
Knighted In 1910.
The voyage had as its objective,
not only ocean opraphic research, but
the exploration of a petrified forest
and the location of a "lost” island—
Tuanki—the adjacent waters of which
had not been sailed for more than
ninety years.
In addition, soundings were to have
been taken of the ocean plateau sur-
rounding Gough’s iBland In an effort
to determine the truth regarding a
supposed underwater continental con-
nection between Africa and America.
Sir Ernest for his distinguished ser-
vices was made a knight in 1910. Var-
ious societies throughout the world
honored him for his work.
