compromise Agreement is Drawn
And Signed.
ROOM is LEFT FOR TROUBLE,

Chicago, June Quiet again reigns
in the turbulent stocllyards district, as
a result of the settlement of the meat
Transfers strike. But the happiness
of the men is married somewhat by the
report that the packers will refuse to
employ leaders among the striking
Transfers.
When the members of the conference
separated the strike was virtually at
an end, but the agreement of the com
mittecmen had to be ratified by the
packers and the teamsters. This
caused some further delay, and it was
not until evening that all arrange
mcuts had been completed for the
strikers to return to work.
Soon after the arrangement, which
is O. compromise, was ratified by the
men, a report spread that the pac,.ers
had determined to take back Only
transfers who had not been active in
the strike. That the companies would
exercise a choice in taking their former
transfers seemed not to have oc-
Cured to the men before and on inves-
tigation it was found that several
worlimcn recently employed in the
yards had been discharged. These
men declare that they have been sin
gled out because they were strong
union men and strike sympathizers.
This is denied by the packers, but the
statements of the discharged men are
being carefully investigated.
The men who have been discharged
are members of the Stocliyards En-
ployes' Union. Their organization,
which was formed less that than three
weeks ago, and already has member
ship of over 700, is affiliated with the
Butchers Union.
A. W. Leonard, superintendent of
the Union StoclSyards company, will
be asked to reinstate the men who
have been discharged, and unless he
consents to do so it is said that the
5000 butchers employed in the differ
ent packing plants will be called ont

ANOTHER GUATEMALAN CITY.
Probably 1000 Of its People Have
Perished.
OTHER TOWNS REPORTED ALSO

San Francisco, June 9.-Another city
in Central America has suffered almost
complete destruction.
The steamer Palena, from southern
ports, brings the news that the town
of Retalhulen, situated at the foot of
Mount Tacana, in Guatemala, has been
buried under mass of lava, stones and
ashes thrown from the volcanic crater,
and probably 1000 Of its people have
persisted.
The volcano is about % miles from
Champanico and near the town of Ia
pachulo, which, it is believed, also
suffered severely.
The vessels officers were informed
by the agent of the Pacific Steam Nav
igation company at that place that the
volcano had shown signs of the inn
pending eruption for several days pre-
vious 10 the outbreak. In fact, Mount
Tacana had been restless ever since
the great earthquake of April IS, which
destroyed the city of Quezaltenango.
For weeks black pail of smoke hung
over its summit, and the glare from
the crater frequently illuminated the
sky. Many of the inhabitants of Re
talhulen fled from their homes to
places of safety, and these escaped
frightful deaths. When the eruption
broke forth in its full fury showers of
lava, ashes and stones were elected and
covered the country for miles around.
The bay of Champanco was mass Of
floating punicc and ashes. Thc loss Of
life was estimated at not less than
1000.
The same steamer brought letter to
the agents of the Steamship company,
from their agent in Guatemala, con-
firming the report of the eruption He
also stated that since the earthquake
of April IS shocks had been of almost
daily occurrence. A few days before
the Palena sailed a small village near
Mount Tacana was destroyed, but no
details could be obtained. The volcano
of Santa Maria is also stated to have
been in state of eruption.
