edAdmiral Togo compelled him to draw
vessels from the squadron under Vice
Admiral kamimura. and this left the
japanese navy powerless to operate

The raid conducted by the Vladivos-
tok squadron in July was extremely ex-
pensive to the Japanese. and not only
was retaliation tempting. but it was de-
manded by commercial interests.
The navy. however, grimly refused to
make division and stuck to Port
Arthur. 1t was confident that the har-

Russian warships. that it would event.

Japanese guns dominate the dock
yards at Port Arthur, and in view of
this fact it would seem to be impossible
again to make seaworthy or fightable
the Russian battle ships which have

that the Russian battle-ship Czarevitch
will disa,m at Tsingchou.
The best possible naval force that
Russia can now concentrate at Viadi-

Stories Told and Denied That
Strike Conference Is
on Today
ARREST OF PlckErs ORDERED
Allied Trades Conference Board ln
Session Today Gave Suspicion Thas
Negotiations Had Been Rsopsnsd
Still Believes That Attempt is Being
Made to Settle Strike.

Chicago, Aug. 15.-Police Inspector
Hunt today ordered the arrest OF all
pickets lettering about the stock yards.
A dozen were taken into custody.
Thirty-five hundred teamsters em-
ployed by the retail and Wholesale mar
kets will not, hereafter, deliver nom
union meat.
The strike leaders and the big pack
ing firms denied forcibly today that any
efforts had been made by either side
to bring about another conference look
ing to peace in the stock yards.
Despite the denials the suspicion that
important proposals are under consid-
Grafton was caused by an early meet
ing today OF the allied trades confer
ence board.
1t is reported that committee OF the
allied trades conference board is In
conference with the packers looking to
a reopening Of negotiations for peace
in the stockyards strike.
Today was regarded as critical day
in the struggle. The negotiations that
had apparently been reopened between
the union leaders and the owners OF the
plants direct. were expected to produce
results. On the other hand should there
come the break in the ranks OF the un-i
ions which the employers have ex-
pected from day to day, the strike lead-
ers would be in no position to treat
with the packers. ss :S
While the packers gave no word t.
indicate what they would do. the union
men directed their energies to gather
ing money to continue the hght Il nec-
essary. The Business Mems StOckyardp
Aid Society, was organixed at the nr-s
ion headquarters at the Transit house,
and money subscriptions were reported
to the strikers fund IS
In obedience to instruction f-o-n The
executive committee OF the i,stecnltion-.
al union, the packing house telrnsters
voted against accepting any propO-
sition to return to work until the butch-s
ers had been taken back. Representa-
tives of the packers had expected the
drivers to give up their strike.
Grocery and market drivers decided
to refuse to handle so-called unfair"
meat. This action was taken at a gen-
eral meeting Of the union at SO Madi-5
son street. Beginning with this mora-
ing. $500 teamsters for retail ana

haul only meat which Is known to have
come from the independent packers.
One exception to the rule will be
made. that owners OF markets may not
be put to inconvenience or loss. Pack

cred. No more supplies. however, will
be carried from the packers wholesaie
