They Say That Arbitration Will Soon
Settle the Disorder in the Meat Pack
ing Business, But Meanwhile

Wings.
(By the Associated Press.l


Chicago, Ills, July 14.-The strike
which has demoralized the packing in
dustry throughout the country, has
not yet been settled, but there are
indications that it will soon be ended
by the adjustment OF the difficulties
by arbitration.
After a conference which lasted all
tives of the packers and officers of
the unions, the employers tonight are
waiting for an answer to a counter
proposal which they submitted to
Michael Donnelly in reply to state
ment of the terms on which he would
be willing to make a settlement Mr..
Donnelly tonight said that the count
er proposal of the packers would be
rejected and that he would in turn
present a counter proposal tomorrow.
The hitch in the negotiations is over
the reinstatement of the strikers. The
union demands that every man who
went OH strike shall be given his old
position before an agreement to ar
bitration will be considered The
packers declare that they will retain
the men they have employed since
the strike began and will take back
the old men in the order in which

While the peace negotiations were
in progress today, additional prepara-
tons were making by the packers for
a long siege. The packers hearing
that efforts were making to induce
railroad men. who are members of
unions to refuse to handle supplies
for packing plants where the men
are on strike, were busy all day put
ting in great stocks of coal for fear
the railroad men might attempt to
stop the supply.
Gusts of Rioting.
Rioting commenced in the stock
yards tonight, and Alfonso Andrulis
was shot in the left shoulder by the
police He is not fatally injured.
The incidents leading up to the
shooting of Andrulis began when a
party of strikers met a detachment of
police in Paulina street near the stock
yards. One of the crowd hurled a
stone at the officers. He was ar
rested. The police started toward the
station with their prisoners and his
companions attacked them with
stones. Several volleys of stones had
been thrown before the police drew
revolvers and fired several shots at
the crowd. AndruliS fell with a bull
let through his shoulder. His COM
panions fled.
Andrulis and the man first arrested
were taken to the police station which
in a few minutes was surrounded by
Il crowd of several hundred men, wo-
men and boys. The temper of the
crowd was ugly and for a time it
looked as though they would attempt
to storm the station. Calls We're sent
for achievements and in a short
time several patrol wagons filled with
policemen from other stations ar
rived. The crowd refused to give way
and the reinforcementS were COM
PEELED to fight their way to the sta
ton doors.
A line of officers was at once drawn
up in front of the station and after
n short time the crowd dispersed.
Another fight occurred at Marshfieid
avenue and 18th streets. where a mob
attacked a squad of policemen with
bricks. Several officers were injured
slightly, and they were compelled to
use clubs to dispense the crowd. Sew
eral other fights occurred tonight, but
no one was severely hurt.
