Chicago, July 1s.-There was little,
IL any change In the situation of the
meat packers strike here Sunday.
With Michael J. DonnelIy. the strike
leader. in ST Louis looking after that
end of the difficulty there was no effort
here to renew the peace negotiations
which lasted through three days last
week and were terminated Saturday
night without results. Whether anoth-
other attempt to reach an adjustment
Of the controversy by arbitration Is
problematieal as the packerS had the
better OF the argument In last weeks
conferences, and are little inclined to
offer any concessions to the strikers.
One thing * certain. the packers say.
and that is that they viii not recede
from the position they assumed In last
weeks conferences. and that the strtk-
ers will have TO conform Ia the en-
pioyers' ultimatum before any further
peace plans looking to a settlement
'''''H VIII lie successful.
To add to the packers determination IN
stand firm Is the fact that they have
steadily increased their working force
at the plants by the employment OF
outside ~orkmeu until. It is said. that
things were In almost normal condition
at several OF the plants Under these
conditions the packers have assumed
a more INDEPENDENT attitude. and are
more determined than ever that they
and not the strikers shall dictate the
terms an which the controversy viii
