CONFERENCE REJECTED
CHICAGO PACKERS ARE FIRM
They Refuse to Meet the President of the
Striking Butchers, Seeing No Bene-
fit Probable.

Chicago, Aug. 80. The packing
house strike situation can be expressed
by the result of the attempt of tile
executive CT the union butchers to get
conference with the packers. The
executives communication was signed
by President Donnelly, and respect
fully requested IAN early conference
with you with the view of effecting
an honorable adjustment of the con-
troversy." This was also signed by
Matthew Carr, president of the Allied
Trades Council, showing that it had
the sanction of all the other strikers
involved in the packing house trouble.
The packers response was prompt
and was signed by all the firms in
volved. 1t said: your letter of Aug.
20 has been received and in rep,y
thereto we have to say that consider
ing the present condition of our plants
and the result Of past conferences, we
can see no possible benefit that can
follow any further conference. There
fore we respectfully decline your re-
quest"
A new feature of the strike is a
strike of 200 can makers of the Diesel
plant Of the American Can company.
The strike was called because the COM
pany, as alleged, was selling cans to
the packers.
Meetings were held by the teamsters
and the allied trades to discuss the
packing house strike, but no action
was taken at either gathering, except
that the teamsters refused to listen to
propositions to call the strike off.
