This statement was signed by the rep resentatives of the packers and handed to members of the state board of arbitra- ton at the end of conference between the two bodies, held at the request or the state board in an endeavor to bring about another meeting between the pack CTS and strikers. The packers received the state board courteously and listened to their arguments for Q peaceful adjust ment of the difficulty.
 The announcement that the packers were opposed to any further peace nego- tiations with the strikers was handed to the board by Arthur Meeker and Thomas Connor, both of Armour & Co.,, who rep resent the packers While from their statements it would appear that the pack CTS are opposed to meeting the strikers again on any terms such is not the case.
 At the last conference between the strikers and packers the latter informed the union leaders that any time they ex- pressed a desire to live mp to the origin al arbitration agreement, signed a week ago, which provided for the reinstatement of the striking butchers inside of forty five days, and for all grievances to be submitted to arbitration. the packers would be willing to renew the agreement

contentlcn of Packers.

The contention of the packers is that this agreement is still in force, and as they are unwilling to offer any further concessions to the strikers, they say a renewal of peace negotiations with the hope of securing terms will be useless. The labor leaders claim that when the butchers went on the second strike be- cause of alleged discrimination by the packers in rehiring the old employees, the arbitration agreement was nullified, and that 1t is necessary to sign a new agree ment before settlement can be reached.
 Alter tonights conference --'ith the state board of arbitration, Arthur Meek CT, manager of Armour & Co.,, said that the packers were still willing to live up to the terms of the original agreement, but that they also would have to be abided in by the strikers. Mir. Meeker also intimated that the sooner the strikers adopted this course the better it would be for them, as in his belief If the strike should last much longer all the places of the strikers would be filled by new men, and there would be no necessity for the packers to wish to settle on any basis with their old employees

Puts Stop to PicketIng.

This to a great exent put a stop to the picketing by the strikers, which had been going on all day. When night came the police were complete masters of the situation in the district. No one was al- lowed to loiter in the street, and any per son, whether a striker or not, who stop ped near the entrance to the yards was sure to be told to move on.''
 A rain ard hailstorm which broke over the stockyards district during the after noon caused much confusion in the stock pens. With an inadequate number of drivers to handle the animals under or dinary conditions, when the hail began to fall the frightened animals ran about the yards completely beyond the control of the inexperienced drivers. It required nearly three hours to, bring order out of chaos. During the excitement several per- sons were seen to escape from the yards with live sheep in their arms. These men are said to be friends of the strikers, who took the opportunity to secure fresh meat
 At least 1000 new employees were taken Into the yards today and put to work. A conservative estimate of the animals slaughtered today by the different plants placed it at about one-half the amount disposed of under normal conditions.

Grain Broker Gets Busy.

Notwithstanding failure to bring the contesting parties together once more, an- other attempt. 1t was said tonight, would be made tomorrow to arrange a confer ence between the strikers and packers. James N. Walker, a grain broker on the Chicago board of trade, is the man who proposes to do what the state board of arbitration failed to accomplish.
 MT. Walker was in consultation tonight with the leaders of the Allied Trades unions and several of the packers. He stated tonight that he had made consid- erable progress toward the desired con- ference, and that it was his firm belief that before tomorrow night he would be able to announce that his mission had been successful. Members of the Meat as- sociation of Chicago held a meeting to- day with the intention of asking Mayor Harrison to intervene in the strike, but as only a few members responded to the call, no action was taken.
 Police rule was today declared in the stock yards district. Beginning this af- ternoon no one was allowed to traverse the streets in the vicinity of the stock yards.
