of the packers held a long secrc1
meeting this morning. They decided
TO make no statement concerning
any communication had been received
from the strikers.
With strike funds depleted aad
crowds of hungry men vainly scram-
bling forward at the cOmmissary il
taxed the labor leaders to find a way
TO prevent a stampede from the un-
ion ranks today wait until tomor-
row, and we will present to the pac'c-
ars a proposal which they cannot :le-
cline to accept" they told the men.
There is nothing for the men but
unconditional surrender" said the
packers. The leaders should not hes
itate in calling off the strike, so that
those who are anxious to do so can
ind work. The only terms of surraa-
Ter we shall consider will be the re-
urn of the men as individuals"
1t is understood that the peace pro-
position which the strike leaders
lave prepared provides that the men
shall be taken back as union men
md at the wage scale in effect before
he strike The effort of the leaders
S to devise some means of surrender
hat cannot be construed as a set
-lement'

Ders went to confer with the Allied

disorder The desertions from the

Wrecked, but Driver Not Killed.

Chicago. Aug. ga number OF
delegates have arrived for the con
vention called by the Chicago FEEDER
a1son of Labor for the purpose of
forming new political party of wor-
kingmen, farmers, single takers, Tur-
ner societies, and economic reform
bodies.
The radical views entertained by
the organizers of the new party are
expressed in the official call for the
convention. Among other things the
promoters accuse both the Republi-
can and Democratic parties of betray-
ing the confidence of the working
people and state that instead of po-
lItical freedom in the United States
there is being reared both political
and industrial despotism unsurpassed
even in Russia.
