the Chinese that the efficient soldiers
in the garrison at Port Arthur NAM
bered over 10000.
A Chinese who lived near Bihlung-
shan declares that he saw the Rus
SLAMS occupying this fort, from which
previous reports stated that they had
been driven. Probably both reports
were correct at the time they We're
current, as semi-official advices state
that many positions about the fortress
change hands repeatedly. The fight.

STRIKING STOCK YARDS BUTCH.
ERs Ask FOR CONFERENCE
WITH EMPLOYERS.
LATTER REFUSE REQUEST, DE-
cLARlNG NO GOOD COULD
POSSIBLY RESULT.
PACKERS DECLARE THAT UNcoN'
pirloNAL SURRENDER is
THEIR ONLY TERMS.

Chicago. Aug. 29.-Application was
made TO the packers by the stock
yards strikers during the day for a
conference. the purpose being to bring
about peace in the industrial conflict
waging at Packing Town. The con-
ference was refused by the packers.
The application came in the form Of
a communication from the allied
trades council and was signed by Pres
ident Matthew Carr of the allied
trades The request was sent imme-
diately after the close of joint meet
ing of the national executive board OF
the Butcher Workmens union and the
allied trades conference board and
was addressed to ]. ogden Armour
and his associates
Mr.. Armour, upon receipt of the
communication, at once called the
heads OF the other big packing plants
into session. When the meeting OF
the packers ended communication
was addressed to President Donnelly
and his associates declining the confer
ence the strikers had asked for. The
reason given was that no good could
come from such a conference.
There is nothing left for the men
but unconditional surrender" said a
packer The leaders should not hesi-
tate in calling the strike off SO that
the men, who are anxious, could find
work. Many of them will be rehired
in Packing Town, but there are thou
sands who must look elsewhere for
employment and they should be re-
leased so they can begin their hunt
for work outside the stock yards. 1t
does not make any difference what
peace proposal the strikers have to
submit-we shall not deal with the un-
ions. The only terms of surrender We
shall consider will be the return of the
men as individuals
