Settlement of Strike Brings
 Peace to Chicago
WILL RETURN ID WORK TODAY
There Is Some Discomfort Over Report That Packers VIII Refuse to Take Back Some of the
 Strike Leaders.

Chicago, June 5.--Quiet reigned in the turbulent stock yards district today as result of the settlement of the meat team sters' strike, but the happiness of the men was marred somewhat by report that the packers will refuse to re-employ leaders among the striking teamsters. The report caused much uneasiness among the men and there were mutter- ings that if those who have been active in the recent disturbances shah be forced into idleness because of their conduct during the strike there will be further trouble
 The teamsters are to return to work to- morrow morning. A few were given teams today, but the majority were told to report tomorrow. Soon after the agree ment, which is a compromise, was rati- fled by the men a report coming from some untraceab1e source spread that the packers had determined to take back only teamsters who had not been active in the strike. That the companies would exer- else a choice In taking back their former teamsters seemed not to have occurred to the men before, and on investigation it was found that several workmen employed in the yards had recently been discharged. These men declare that they have been singled out because they were strong union men and strike sympathizers.
 Tomorrow A. ". Leonard. superinten- dent of the United States Stock Yards Transit Company, will be asked to rein state the men who have been discharged, and unless he consents to do so 1t Is said the 5000 butchers employed in the different packing plants will be called out on strike.
 The Agreement.
 The agreement reached at the confer ence is partial victory for the teamsters, in that the packers have declared that they will not discriminate against mem bers of the union. The scale agreed upon Is 2 cents lower than that demanded by the men. It is as follows:
 Cart drivers IS cents an hour, single wagon 20 cents, two-horse wagon 221z cents, four-horse wagon 271s cents, six horse wagon 30 cents.
 The men are to be paid full time from time of leaving barn until return. with a deduction of half an hour for lunch. They

 The document as drawn up is as follows:
 At conference held at the Grand Pa cific hotel on the night of June 4, 1902, between representatives of the Chicago packers and their packing house team sters held at the suggestion of Carter Harrison, the mayor, and a board of ar bitration, it was agreed. after due delib- eration, to recommend to the two parties to the controversy now existing between the said teamsters and said packers.
 That a compromise of the said differ ences be effected by making the following suggestions for a compromise:
 l. There shall be no discrimination against union teamsters.
 9 The scale of wages for teamsters shall be fair.
 B. No teamsters shall be compelled to work on Labor Day.
 4. Any teamster receiving more than the scale of wages stated shall not suffer a reduction of wages after this agreement goes Into effect.
 Working for Compromise.
