cided by arbitration. The old wage
scale under which the union worked
last year expired May %.
Chicago, July 20.-It was for the
packers to say, Wednesday, whether
they would hold another conference
with the representatives of organized
labor relative to the strike of the
butcher workmen. The request for sucn
a meeting was submitted, Tuesday
night, to the owners of the packing
plants by the union leaders of Chica-
go. The employers were to decide,
Wednesday, what reply to make.
The labor proposition emanated not
from the butchers but from a commit
tee representing many affected trades,
including the teamsters. 1t consisted OF
letter sent in duplicate to the union
on strike and to the packers in which
each party to the struggle was request
cd to participate in a joint meeting of
employers and all trades interested.
The butchers promptly answered that
they were ready to go into the confer
ence.
Pending the outcome of this attempt
to reopen negotiations the men in the
mechanical departments and the team
sters and stationary firemen at the
packing houses will remain at work.
Assurances that they would go out
on sympathetic strike as a last resort
were renewed to Pres. Donnelly of the
Butchers Union. Donnelly continued to
advise against the extension of the
struggle unless it seemed necessary.
Representatives of all the big pack
ing houses in the stock yards met at
the yard offices of Armour & Co.,
Wednesday morning, to consider the
appeal made to them by the striking
butchers and to arrange for a joint
conference which it was intended to
hold in the afternoon.
1T is impossible for the wisest man
to say when this strike will end said
Pres. Donnelly of the striking butchers
just before the packers went into con-
ference. "Our terms are unalterable
and the packers have made no conces-
siOns. We are prepared to carry on Il
long war but probably will not begin
full payment of strike benefits as for
mally announced until Tuesday. How
ever every striker and his family will
be taken care Of None shall go hungry.
We have $250,0O0 in our treasury and
Is cents of the % cent per capita tax
goes into the fund for defence. In ad-
dition I'VE have offers of aid from the
independent packers.
MANY st. Louis packers have offered
to advance us financial aid to be paid
on the per capita basis"
Prices of meat on downtown restau-
rant bills of fare have been raised ten
per cent or more as a result of the
stock yards strike. The action was
taken al the instance of the Hotel
Keepers Association.
While several of the restaurants had
n supply of meat sufficient for one
month, without exception, they raised
prices. The largest increase has been
made in the price of the expensive
cuts, porter house steak with mush-
rooms, quoted at $2.15 on Saturday,
now bringing $325.
Since the beginning of the strike the
price of desirable cuts in lOinS and ribs
has jumped from Is to 20 cents. cor
responding raise in the price of medi-
um grade falls heavy on the boarding.
house keepers and the families who buy
the ordinary cuts of steak.
The price of ham and bacon was ad-
vanced with that Of the fresh meats.

When the great iron and steel indus,
fry of the United States thrives. other
American industries thrive. The Dem

stroy the protection to the iron and steel

The millions Of additional profit and

would have been earned. if at ALL by

prevailed during the last eight wears.
The gigantic rise of this industry dur

and every branch of American industry
