EMPLOYEES ACCUSE PACKERS OF
VIOLATION OF AGREEMENT
AND AGAIN WALK OUT.
OLD MEN REPORT FOR DUTY, BUT
NOT MORE THAN HALF GET
FORMER POSITIONS.
PACKERS MAY SUSPEND KILLING
OPERATIONS IN ALL THE
PLANTS AFFECTED.

Chicago, July 22.-The packinghouse
strike has been ordered renewed in
Chicago and all other cities. Viola
tion of agreement by the packinghouse
proprietors is assigned as the reason.
During the morning 5000 cattle
butchers reported at the stock yards
here for work. Only half of them
were given places. Thereupon all re-
fused to work. They reported in a
body at their union headquarters. The
general order for renewal of the
strike was soon forthcoming.
While the immediate provocation
for the renewal of the strike was ap-
parently the failure OF the packers to
take back larger portion Of the strik-
ers who reported for work, the real
cause of the rupture was inferred to
be a circular issued by the packers.
The circular purpOrted to explain to
the public the agreement entered into
with the labor leaders. Seemingly the
the agreement did not bind the pack
ers to re-employ all of the men who
walked out The construction the Ia
bor leaders had placed upon the agree
ment was that all should be re'em-
ployed within forty-flve days.
All the men went out at Kansas City,
Fort Worth, Tex, st. Joseph, East ST..
Louis, Sioux City and Omaha There
was some rioting at st. Joseph, Mo-,
and at Fort Worth, Tex, but no trou-
BILE of any magnitude.
DonneIIy Issues a Statement.
President Donnelly, Immediately aft
gave out the following statement rel
ative to his action:
"The packers agreed to replace the
men without discrimination. They
agreed that the men should report for
work and be taken back. Instead of
being furnished with checks when the
men went back to work they were met
by superintendent or policeman,
who picked out certain men and told
them to go and get their checks. They
told others to go home; that they did
not know when they would be needed,
or whether they would ever be needed.
This was plain violation of our agree
ment."
Representatives of the packing
houses affected by the strike held a
conference during the morning and at
it's conclusion issued the following
statement:
Much to our surprise the men, aft
er reporting for work and after get
ting started In nearly all the houses,
were ordered out again. We thought
the officers of the organization clearly
understood that the business had been
more or less disrupted during the
strike and that some delay would be
required to get started up again in
anything like full capacity.
1T is the intention of the packers
to carry out their agreement in every
particular and if any house has given
causes for grievance the same can be,
and any future grievance will be, read
lily adjusted.''

THREATEN TO SHUT DOWN.
Packers May Suspend Killing Opera
tions in All Plants.


Chicago, July 22.-Reports were cur
rent during the afternoon that the
packers had decided to yield no whit
to the strikers and to meet continued
warfare with complete shut down of
the killing departments until such
time as efficient expert nonunion
forces could be obtained to operate on
the large normal scale. The ground
for this action was said to be that the
packers had found it is too expensive
and too wasteful to attempt to oper-
ate with small killing gangs and had
determined, if the strikers insisted on
holding out, to suspend killing opera
tions in all the plants affected by the
strike. The packers, it was stated,
would continue shipping and handling
products on hand. Work in the smOk-
ing and canning departments would
also be continued.
