STRIKERS END THE
LONG Struggle
BUTCHERS AT THE CHICAGO
sToCKYARDs ARE ORDERED
TO RETURN TO WORK.
Accept Terms offered by the Pack
ers-Cost Of the Strike to EN-
ployers and workmen Estimated
at $13, 1915, 900.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-The executive board
of the union butcher workmen Thurs
day evening abandoned the strike
against the meat packing plants and
ordered the members back to work.
The terms under which the men re-
turn to work are the same as offered by
]. Ogden Armour last Saturday and
which the men rejected by referendum
vote They are in substance that the old
employees shall be reinstated as fast as
possible, being given preference when
vacancies occur; that the wages Of
skilled butcher workmen will remain
the same as before the strike, and that
there will be no discrimination against
any man because of his connection with
labor organization
Begun July IL. the struggle continued
for eight weeks and three days. A week
after the strike was first called they
made peace with their employers under
a favorable contract, which gave them
practically all they had demanded. The
second walkout occurred the morning
work was to be resumed under that con-
tract. It was charged by the packers
that the union broke the agreement by
this act, and since then the organiza-
lions steadily lost ground, In Chicago
a. few members deserted, and in other
packing centers thousands abandoned
the fight. Desperate means were re-
sorted to to stem the tide, but the pack
.ers continued to operate their plants
with better and better success. At the
last the only thing left for the union was
complete surrender. a.,7f
The total loss by the strike in wages
to butcher workmen is $2,575 900, and to
allied tradesmen, $S00,OO0 more; esti-
mated loss to packers, $1,000, 900; to
stockmen, railroads, ETC., $1,000; total
estimated loss, $13,375, 900.
