Union Men Who Struck, 1886
Have Deserted; With New
Employees Total 15,s4S.

Chicago. Aug. THE meat packers,
whose union employees are on a strike,
claim to be in better position tonight
than at any time since the struggle began.
When asked for the packers side of the
situation tonight. Arthur Meeker, general
manager for Armour & Co. said:
THE strike may be said to be near an
end. At the rate We are securing new en-
ployes it will be only a matter Of short
time now until everything will be in
normal condition with US once more.
This assertion was made by Mr.. Meeker
tonight after the packers had brought in
during the day, according to their es-
Inmates. 1850 new men. and another official
Of Armour & Co said that the packing
trims were doing nearly so per cent of
their usual business. Police reports Of the
number OF new employees arriving at the
yards to-day bore out In large measure
the packers statements.
Despite these declarations Of the packers
representatives, the pens at the stock
yards are filled with cattle and hogs that
buyers make no bid for in the market.
According to commission men and officials
OF the Union Stock Yards and Transit
Company. out of the live stock received
yesterday and to-day. more than 1900
sheep and 1000 hogs were reshipped, and
unsold stock Ls rapidly accommodating IN
the pens. Twelve thousand hogs remained
unsold tonight. and the prospect of large
receipts Tomorrow is causing the live
stock handlers to fear a swampIng Of their
facilities.
According to commission men, there are
thousands Of holdovers in all departments
OF the yards. and the cattle in the pens
will not all be Out of the way by Satur-
day night In the face OF all this ship
pers are constantly forwarding stock TO
Chicago. and indications tonight are that
there will be a decided slump In prices of
live stock.
II Is on this statement and what infor-
nation their own men have been able to
secure the strikers leaders base their
claims that the packers are still badly
the contrary. considerable number of
strike breakers who arrived in Chicago to-
day We're iissuaded from going to work

On published statements that the union
leaders intended protesting to the City
Health Department that the housing OF
employees in the packing plants was a vio-
.ation of the city ordinance, an Inspector
from the Sanitary Bureau investigated all
the plants to-day. but nothing was found
that would warrant the department taking
any steps against the packers.

Francis Says That Objection to
More Restaurants Will Be
Considered.
WAGON ADMISSION rs CENTS.
Grievance Committee Departs
Satisfied After Conference
That Ruinous Competition
VIII Not Be Permitted.

Joy reigns In the camp OF the Worlds
Fair concessionaires. The Exposition
| management. In the person OF President
Francis. has promised to right at least
one and perhaps two OF the regulations
affecting them to which they most strenu-
ously objected.
Tho first Of these is the matter OF pay
ing a pilots fee Of 50 cents an hour on
every wagon laden with goods entering
the grounds. A definite promise has been
given by President Francis that this OBJ
jectionable fee will be abandoned.
The second Is q practical assurance
that no more restaurant concessions on
the Fair grounds will be let Although
no absolute promise has been given on
this point, the concessionaires feel certain
that the Exposition will see the justice OF
their contention that any more restau-
rants will furnish q ruinous and unprodt-
able competition and will not permit any
additional restaurants to be operated on
the site.
The promise Of relief from these burdens
was given yesterday morning when
grievance committee from the concession
aires called on the President. They stated
their case to him. dwelling particular ly on
danger from additional restaurants. Most
Of the committeeman were restaurant con-
cessiona!res.
President Francis then promised them
that the system OF pilot fees would be
abandoned. and gave them q reasonable
assurance that II the management found
that there were already restaurants
enough on the grounds no more conces-
Sons would be let The committeeman left
the presence" with Lghtened hearts and
happy smiles.
PILOT SYSTEM FOUND WANTING.
Since the opening of the Fair the pilot
system has been in operation and 1t has
caused wailing and gnashinE OF teeth
among the concessionaires and exhibitors.
Every wagon bearing supplies or commodi-
at the gate q pilot to guide It through the
grounds to Its destination. For the service
a fee of 80 cents an hour was charged.
In place Of this fee. each and every
wagon entering the grounds hereafter will
be charged a uniform price OF Is cents for
the prescribed wagon routes without fur
ther charges. To this arrangement the
concessionaires cheerfully subscribed.
An Exposition official yesterday sad that
the Exposition management was quite
ready to abandon the pilot system. it
had been tried and found wanting. The
Exposition, he said, had lost money on
force of pilots must always be kept to the
number required for the maximum traftlc.
The result was that their wages exceeded
the revenue from their fees.
1t Is thought by some that the request
OF the concesslonaires for an estoppal on
sions is also reasonable. The restaurants
now on the grounds number about l5o.
which, IL is said, Is sufficient to feed all
The hungry at the Fair.
