Chicago, Aug, 1.-The position OF the
livestock handlers who struck at the
stockyards in sympathy with the pack
ing house employees and afterward re-
turned to their duties, handling stock
for the packing companies involved In
the strike as well as for the independ-
ent plants. has been made plain by the
official statement that their action was
taken In obedience to their union Of
ficers. It is declared that they stand
ready to strike again II II appears
necessary. A report that fire insur-
ance underwriters had issued an order
canceling policies on packing estab-
lishments on account OF the strike and
because OF the housing of so many
men in the buildings has been pos
itively denied by the insurance COM
panies' representatives.
Packing house managers are predict
ing that the next few hours will wit
ness important developments In the
breaking up of the strike. Strong ef-
forts, II is said. have been made by rep
resentatives OF the packers TO induce
desertions from the ranks OF the strik-
ers and the claim is made that the ef-
forts are meeting with much success.
