Chicago, July 27.-Little if any
advantage was gained by either side
in the stock yards strike yesterday,
and there is no hope Of any imme
date settlement or the difficulty.
Realizing that they have one of the
hardest propositions to contend with
in the history of the packing indus
try, the packers are leaving nothing
undone to gain the upper hand in
the struggle with their 10000 union
employees who are on strike. All day
yesterday men from outside points
were rushed to Chicago and taken to
the stock yards under police protec-
ton, to fill the places of the strikers.
Last night it was announced by the
packers that 1000 new men were
now installed in the different plants
at the stock yards. With these men
and with the new arrivals that are
expected each day the packers expect
to get their affairs in such shape
that the strikers will be compelled to
seek a truce at the dictation of the
employers.
Omaha, Neb, July 27.-Eleven
hundred members of the allied me-
chanical trades employed at the pack
ing plants in South Omaha went on
strike at noon yesterday in sympathy
with the striking butchers.
Chicago. July 27.-The sympathetic
strike at the stock yards will be COM
plete this morning. The belated
sanction to the transfers joining
their brother workmen in the general
strike was given last night by the
officers of the International Team
sters' union. and the seven hundreu
drivers employed in the packing III
dustry in Chicago will quit work To-
day
Chicago. July 29.-After issuing a
general order that would have involv-
ed all the Chicago railroads IN the
stock yards strike, Lawrence J. Cur
ran, president of the freight handlers
union. last night reconsidered his &C
ton and is now holding his order in
allowance pending conference TINS
morning with leaders OF the allied
trades unions whose members are
on a. strike. 1t is stated, however,
that If President Donnelly or the
butchers union and the other strike
leaders express a desire to have the
order enforced it will be put into
effect at once. The central council OF
| the freight handlers union was in
| session at midnight. and it is stated
that all preparations have been made
to nut the strike order in force II 1t
shall be deemed necessary. Presl-
dent Curran's order, il lived up to by
the freight handlers, would work a Sc
we're hardship on the packers. as 1t ex-
| plicitly states that union men shall
handle no freight for the big packing
companies, either outgoing or incom-
ing.
Chicago, July 3O.-Unable to arrange
conference with representatives OF
the New York packers, Michael j.
Donnelly, president of the Amalga'
mated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen of America, has ordered a
strike of all the members of his organ
hation employed in New York by
.>chwarzschild & SulZberger and the
United Dressed Beef company. The
order. which was telegraphed to New
York last night, does not go into Ell
feet until Sunday, as the men In the
eastern packing plants do not repor'
Tor work on Saturday. sH
The decision to extend the strike tC
the east was not taken until aftel
Mr.. Donnelly and his associates hat
spent the day in fruitless effort tt
arrange a meeting with representa-
lives of the eastern packers who came
70 Chicago to acquaint themselves will
the situation here. -
The general belief was that tie New
York packers had come west to make
.erms with the butchers, but IL sucf
was the case they changed their minds
after investigating the progress tina
had been made here in working thu
hacking plants with non-union EN-
ployec.
That the probabilities of settle
r'ent by the opposing interests II
Chicago are as remote as ever wa
plainly demonstrated yesterday whei
Henry c. Wallace of Des Moines, Iowa
and AL. Ames of Buckingham, Iowa
: called on the different packers with
: proposition from the strike leader
! Offering to concede the most importan
point in the controversy, If the EN-
ployeSs wild agree to renew peac
negotiations.
: Mr.. Wallace and Mr.. Ames wer
told by the packers that there was n
ptssible chance for any further move
and the packers were in position
where they could ignore the labo
unions, and that they nroposed to d
