But the Strikers Laugh at Their
Attitude Toward the
Labor Trouble.
STOCK RECEIPTS LARGE
Al the Plants Said to Have Resu,,.
Operations-Trouble in ST. Jossyb
Between the Police and the
Strikers.

Chicago, Aug. @.-Monday was .
pussy day with the packers. with IN
creased forces OF skilled workers and
their operating department more
thoroughly equipped than at amy time
since the beginning of the strike tho
employers took a firm grip on the ma
chinery of their affairs n as d ,a-
suit the stock yards took on the aa
hum of activity to Il great extent.
over $4,000 head of live stock was re-
ceived here. This is an increase Of
$4,000 head OVer the receipts on the
corresponding day last week. Such an
amount of live stock would, under nor
NAL conditions, have had n depressing
effect on the market, and when the
trainloads of animals began to pour
into the yards stockmen and traders
feared a panic, but it die not occur.
The day was freer from violence than
any sincc the strike began. There were
several disturbances, but the police
experienced little difficulty in restoring
order. The crowds usually seen at the
entrances to the yards We're no longer
in evidence yesterday. and wagons
carrying meat passed through the
streets with their drivers unmoleSted,
When the strike breakers left the
plants trouble was expected hy the
police, but for the first time In the
history OF the strike they were di5ap-
pointed, not Il single attack upon non
union men being made.
Saloon fights between union ana non
union men We're more frequent yester-
day. During these quarrels II man vas
shot and another stabbed. But neither
was seriously injured.
Prices We're lowered sharply, hat the
fact that the market held so we'll as it
did seemed to prove beyond argument
that the packers are prepared 60 IN
crease their output.
The big packers bought 5000 cattle.
Is. 1000 hogs INC 10000 sheep during the
day.
Before nightfall 50 per cent. Of these
purchases had been slaughtered. Fur
ther proof of the claims of the packers
that the difficulties of the strike Hre
being overcome WAS furnished by the
shipment of 800 carloads Of fresh meats
from the stock yards. OF this number
400 cars We're loaded and shippa! by
the firms affected by the strike.
AS near as could be established last
night 359 union men Of the various
trades on strike returned TO work lur-
ing the day.
or this number who abandoned the
fight many We're skilled workmen, The
packers claim desertions make the to-
tai number of strikers who have !e-
turned to work at least 1000.
,hlel Oh Poilce Nell VINO mas taken
personal chafSe or the STOCK yards our
ing the trouble, declared his belize that
peace in the strike Is in sight. and by
