The warlike feature of the day came
from the freight handlers union. They
claim they will go out if the strike is not
settled. Such strike would not add to
the packers troubles, but would entail
serious discomfort and suffering upon the
general public. All packers are receiving
applications from strikers for reinstate-
ment.
That the police really are in earnest
to suppress even the semblance OF inter-
ference with men at work, in the yards,
or the conduct of the packers business
was demonstrated this morning when
George F. Golden, president of the
packing teamsters union, was arrested by
police Inspector Hunt on the open charge
of intimidation. j. T. Buire, another
alleged picket, also was placed in Gus
tody. The labor people claim this is a
movement to disrupt the strikers organl-
cation. Bail was refused Golden when
he was taken to the stock yards police
station. after it had been found that the
police court for the district had adjourn
ed its morning session. The labor leader
fought strenuously at the police station
when it became apparent that he was
to be Imprisoned, it requiring two OFF,
GERS to drag him into the cell.
Golden was later released on 5000
bail and he agreed to stay away from his
headquarters and not attempt any more
interference with drivers. His case was
continued for one week.
There were sporadic cases Of disturb
ance this morning, but the police
promptly routed the rioters. A report
was current in the yards that President
DbnnelIy had started a movement among
various unions looking to the further
advance of peace negotiations. John
