STRIKERS REJECT
! PACKERS OFFER
Answer to Letter Formulated at
Peace Council Refuses Arbi-
tration.
Meat Magnates Are Not Expected
to Accept Proposals Of
the Men.

Chicago, July 15.-The striking
meatcutters and butcher workmen
this afternoon returned an answer to
the letter formulated at yesterdays
joint conference setting forth the ba-
sis upon which the packers were
willing to arbitfate.9
The substance Of the reply, made
public by President Gompers Of the
American Federation of Labor, is a
refusal by the strikers to submit to
arbitration on the packers terms.
The reply renews a demand for
reinstatement of all striking members
of the unions involved and for a
wage scale equaling that in the agree
ment which expired May %.
The reply, it was said this after
noon, could hardly be acceptable to
the packers, and it was feared that
until some new proposal should be
made. there would be no further joint
peace conference. The packers, how
ever, consented to meet the labor
leaders this afternoon.
Activity in Plants.
While the strike leaders were con-
ferring, activity In the big packing
at work have been increased until the
output has assumed proportions
which the packers declare are highly
satisfactory to them.
Louis F. Swift, of Swift & Co., said
1--WE are getting me right along and
all our departments are working. We
are turning away unskilled labor, hav.
| ing secured our full quota, and are not
worrying about the settlement"
At Armour & Co.'s plant, it wa
said that more work was being done
than on any other day since the strik'
was called. Addition has been made
to the force and the output was in
| creased DrODOrtiOnately.
Nelson Morris & Co. also declared
| that they were working in all depart.

was reported that many of the com

full 1t was said at Mr.. Morgan's
office, however, that an appeal would.
be taken.
The announcement of the Northern
Securities decision caused a convul-
sive bound in Union Pacific to 95M
and in Southern Pacific to 51R. Both
stocks then ran off, the former y and
the latter a point The decision had
been so accurately foreseen for three
days past that the disposition was to
take profits In the market after the
announcement, and prices yielded all
around under this influence. The
enormous absorption of Union Pacific

trading. On the curb Northern Se-
curities after selling at 1890 1o4s
