 Leaders in Meat Strike
NEW YORK BUTCHERS ARE
 ORDERED OUT BY DONNELLY
President Golden, a Prominent Union Official, Is Locked Up In Jail for Causing Dis
 turbance.

Chicago July 29-Unable to arrange a conference with the representatives of the New York packers, Michael J. Don- nelly, president of the Amalgamated Meatcutters' and Butcher Workmen of America has ordered strike of all the members of his organization employed in New York by schwarzsehild & Sulzberger, and the United Dressed Beef company. The order which was telegraphed to New York tonight does not go into effect until Sunday, as the men in the eastern packing plants do not report for work on Sat- urday.
 The decision to extend the strike to the east was not taken until after MT. Don nelly and his associates had spent the day in a fruitless effort to arrange 8 meeting with the representa- tives of the eastern packers who came to Chicago last night to acquaint themselves with the situation here. The general belief was that the New York saekers had come west to make terms with the butchers. but if such was the case they changed their minds after Investigating the pro- gress that had been made here in work Ing the plants with non-union employees
 Decides on Strike Order.
 At o'clock this afternoon when Homer ? D. Hall secretary of the national organi- zaton of the butcher workmen, made q final appeal over the telephone to the representatives of Schwarzsehild & Sulz- burger for n meeting between the menl- bers of that firm and the officers of his union, he was told that the eastern pack CTS had nothing to offer the men should such a meeting be arranged; and that the conference would only be a waste Of time. When this announcement of the , eastern packers had been communicated ! to Mr Donnely he decided on the strike l order.
 SettIemen. as Remote as Ever. S That the probabilities of settlement by the opposing interests in Chicago are las remote as ever was plainly demon strated today when Henry c. Wallace or Des Moines, Iowa, and A. l.. Ames or Buckingham, Iowa. called on the differ ent packers with proposition from the strike leaders offering to concede the most important point in the controversy if the employers would agree to renew peace negotiations. MT. Wallace and Mir Ames were told by the packers that there was no possible chance for any further conciliatory move, and that the packers were now in position where they could ignore the labor unions, and that they proposed to do so The packers answer was delivered to the strike leaders and the men from Iowa left for home tonight. From statement made by President Donnely tonight it would appear that the men are becoming anxious to get back to work.
 We shall be glad to confer with repre- sentatiyes of the packers at any time, said MT Donnelly While l cannot say that our position is in any way changed we are not anxious to keep up run ming fight and shall be glad II set tlement can be effected.
 Meeting of Allied Trades.
 A meeting of the allied trades was held today to consider the question of re- newal of the strike Of the live stock handlers These men quit several days ago hut returned to work at the instiga- ton of the independent packers, who were unable to obtain live stock enough to carry on their business with the men on strike. The men went back to work with the understanding that only animals intended for the independent packers were to be handled.
 A few hours after the men returned 10 work, however. they were handling live stock indiscriminately. No decision was reached at todays meeting except to ap- point committee to call on the officials of the Union Stockyards company tomor- 
 handling of live stock for the packers whose forces are on strike.
 The advisability of accepting the offer of the freight handlers to join in the strike was considered at the meeting, but no decision was reached. Following the arrest of George r. Golden, chief of the packing teamsters union for picketing riots became more frequent in the vicin- tty of the stockyards this evening
 Threw Meat in the Street.
 In one disturbance a mob captured a loaded meat wagon and threw the meat into the street The most serious riot of the day occurred in South Chicago where five men were arrested for trying to prevent the delivery of meat Although the strikers and their friends became very boisterous when 1t became known that Golden had been arrested and made all sorts of threats, one was seriously injured in any of the many disturbances that occurred.
 The police have the situation so we'll in hand that before the would-be rioters can get fairly started in their purposes they are scattered In all directions by the blue coats.
 More business was done by the packers today than at any time since the strike began. With today's additions to the new employees obtained from outside sources. the statement made tonight by one of the packers that fully 13,0O0 men were now at work in the seven plants where the union men are on strike. This is nearly half as many men went on strike The packers declare that they have more unskilled labor than they want, and that when all the skilled labor which they have procured in other cities reaches Chicago. all the by-product plants will open for operation.
