WANT MAYOR TO MEDIATE
But Both Packers and Strikers
Think Ii VIII Be Useless.

Chicago Aug 13.-There were few develop
ments in the packers strike to-day. and it is not
probable that there will be any before Monday.
when a committee of retail dealers will call on
Mayor Harrison and ask him TO act mediator
in the strike The Mayor declines to say what
he will do until after he has received the com
rnittee but has expressed himself as anxious TO
do ANYTHING in his power to end the strike
The packers declined to say this afternoon
whether they would accept the mediation of the
Mayor. They declared that they would of
course. receive him and hear any proposition
that he cared to advance, but 1t was manifestly
irnpossibIe for them to say in advance what &C
tion they would take. They fntimated plainly,
however, that the answer they had given to the
committee of retail dealers. when they declined
70 have any further conferences with the strik-
ars was not likely to be modified under present
circumstances.
President DonneIly Of the butchers. admit
ting that he was ready 10 waive some of the de-
rnands that have caused the deadlock between
the hackers and their employees said to-day that
he did not believe there was any prospect or an
immediate settlement OF the strike. He said;
.T think we would be willing 10 waive the
cIause upon which we first insisted. providing
for the reinstatement Of all men within ten days
and all the skilled men within forty-eight hours
Such concession, however, would have to be
made by the allied trades conference board
The discovery was made to-day that four OF
the largest packing companies affected by the
strike are operating without license from the
city of Chicago. Approval OF all licenses 10
slaughter must be made by the municipal Health
Commissioners. The strikers are hoping that
the absence of licenses will have bearing on
the success of the Mayors attempt TO settle the
strike.

The increase in acreage has been fea-
ture In every wheat-raising district OF the
state, in some places running from 10 to
Is per cent over last year. and in every
part of Washington.a larger yield to the
acre is almost certain.
One eastern Washington county VIII
produce from 1000, 900 to 100000 BUSH

another about the same. Still anotner
