CHICAGO CANNOT Buy MEAT.
MANY BUTCHER SHOPS MAY CLOSE AND
4 FAMINE THREATENS

Chicago May 2I-Chlcago's beef supply from
the stockyards has been almost entirely cut off
and unless the concessions demanded by the
striking teamsters be granted within the next
day or two the city will be face to face with
meat famine.
Not only have the big packers failed in every
attempt 10 smuggIe meat out OF the yards but
the wholesale and retail butchers who usually
drive their wagons into the yards and take
out loads OF provisions have been forbidden to
do in the future. number OF them were
to-day allowed 70 carry away meat that they
had bought OF the packers. but they were
warned not TO return for any more until the
trouble Is settled.
There Is a movement on foot among the
twelve hundred more butchers of Chicago
10 close their shops for week or two, or so
long may be necessary to defeat the packers
in their fight against the teamsters. Most Of
them declare that they are in sympathy with
the strikers. and feel that stopping the sale Of
beef would be the most effective way to help
the teamsterS
No unions have yet declared a sympathetic
strike but many individual members have been
doing all in their power to aid the teamsters,
and II the present situation continues much
longer II Is said in union circles other locals,
such as the ice and coal men. may join the
teamsters.
six OF the smaller firms to-day met the de-
mands of the strikers, and signed the new
scale. but the big concerns are still dehant
