Tabloids of Politics Little Items About the Progress of the Campaign. g~ BUSINESS OF THE N\ PACKERS IS HUGE Decision of Armour and Swift to Increase Capital Stock Shows Magnitude. “Yes, I am back from the east and stronger than ever for Hughes,” de- clared Nelson H. Loomis, head of the delegate in the spring. “Some of my friends have been popping questions at me because Mr. Lovett is out for Wilson, but he is a democrat, and his politics does not in any way affect mine. The sentiment down east is overwhelming that Hughes will be elected.” A. W. Jefferis and Ben S.

IS A PREMIER INDUSTRY “The proposal of Armour & Co. to declare a stock dividend of 400 per cent, thus increasing the capital to $100,000,000, following so closely the declaration by Swift & Co. of a $25,- 000,000 cash dividend, to be followed by the issuance of new stock to the same amount to sell at par, thus in- creasing this company’s capital to the $100,000,000 mark, calls attention to the fact that probably nowhere in the world is concentrated so much business as is done in the square mile of territory known as the Union Stock yards of Chicago,” writes Clarence L. Speed. “The combined capital stock and bonded indebtedness of the companies operating there approaches that of the world’s premier corporation, 4 —~Wnited States Steel. The surplus of the combined companies is of an samount comparing with that of the steel corporation, and the volume of business done each year exceeds that of the steel corporation even when its plants are running at capacity to fill .the demand for sheel steel abroad and industrial needs at home, Net Profits Smaller. “The net profits do not approach first an- Harry S.

Jones, Mining Engineer, Over- come by Gas in Mine Where Explosion Occurred. FOUR BODIES TAKEN OUT Fairmont, W. Va, Oct. 20-L. M. Jones, a mining enginer sent to Bar- rackville, near here, yesterday, in charge of a trained crew “from the Pittsburgh station of the bureau of mines to conduct the work of rescue at the Jamison mine, where more than a dozen men had been entombed by an explosion, was asphyxiated in the workings early today. Jones, with seven other men, had reached the bottom of the shaft, where canary birds were released to test the air. All the birds were al- most immediately killed, and Jones, who had advanced further into the workings, fell to the tracks. His com- panions. advancing to his rescue, felt the force of the gas and one by one were overcome. When they did not return to the surface, another party entered the mine and brought them out. All quickly recovered except mine. Four other bodies of victims of the explosion have been recovered. Early today the rescuers had suc- ceeded in clearing the debris from the 300-foot shaft and had reached the bottom, where they féund conditions bad. Exploration of the mine work- ings, it was said, would be commenced as soon as possible. Not one member of the party believed the entombed men- were still alive. those of the great steel company for the reason that in no other line of business is .the margin. of profit so small as in the work of feeding the world. Still the profits are of large roportion—ample to gay good divi- acads regularly on the stock out- standing, and. the Kacking business is not ' subject to the same ups and downs as is that of making steel.
