Chicago. July 2s.-Litt1e. if any. ad- vantage was gained by either side in the stockyards strike today and there is no hope tonight of an immediate settlement of the difficulty.
 Realizing that they have one of the hardest propositions to contend with in the history of the packing industry. the packers are leaving nothing undone to gain the upper hand in the struggle with their thirty thousand union employees who are on strike .Nll day long wdfilmen from outside points were rushed to Chi cago and taken to the stockyards under police protection to fill the places of the strikers.
 Tonight 1t was announced by the pack CTS that seven hundred new men were now installed in the different plants at the stockyards. With these men, and with the new arrivals that are expected each day, the packers expect to get their af- fairs in such shape that the strikers will be compelled to seek a truce in the hos tilities. and seek a peaceable settlement at the dictation of the employers.
 Teamsters May Go Out.
 Although the receipts of live stock were small compared with receipts on corre- spending days under normal conditions, still many cattle hogs and sheep were left in the pens tonight unsold. with all the union workmen on strike, with the exception of packing house teamsters, the only additions today to the ranks of the strikers were about 100 teamsters who quit work as individuals, preferring to do this, rather than to wait for an of- ficial order to walk out, and the wait resses in the restaurants at the stock yards controlled by the packing compan- les.
 The teamsters have become restless, and the general belief Is that few if any of the TOO employed in the packing indus- try will wait for the sanction of the inter national officers to go on strike.
 Rumors of renewed efforts to settle the difficulty by arbitration were thick to- day, but on investigation they were found to be without foundation. When ques- tioned regarding the situation tonight M. J. Donnelly, president of the butchers union, the organization which precpitated the original strike, said:
 "I have no hope of an immediate set tlement. The fight is on, and the only thing we can do now is to stick to the end"
 Union Ultimatum Recalled
 The union organizations recalled their ultimaftum issued yesterday prohibiting the members employed in the independent plants from killing live stock purchased in the stockyards, where the animals are being handled by non-union employees The labor leaders took this step after the independent packers had pointed out to them that If such an order were carried out it would be benefit to the big pack CTS.
 Lines of vigilant policemen guarded the entrances to the stockyards all day and night but despite this precaution disturb ances were numerous and two of them ended with fatal results While an attack was being made on some colored strike breaKers as they were leaving the stockyards tonight, John Stokes, one of the strikers. was shot and fatally wounded by one of the negroes Stokes, together with fully a hundred companions. rushed on the negroes and
 
 to the crowd, hitting Stokes. The police were close at hand and scattered the riot CTS.
 Bitter Against coIored Men. The union men and their friends have become so embittered against the colore6 strike-br breakers that the appearance Of a negro In the vicinity of the stockyards is almost certain to be followed bv vio- lence- A negro barber about to climb or street car at the entrance to the stock . yards tonight was dragged to the street by mob and beaten until unconscious. When the police arrived they announced that the colored man was dead. but in the course of an hour he was revived by physicians and will recover. The mob was under the impression that the barber was employed in some of the packing plants, and without waiting to ask any questions attacked him before he could make any explanation.
 Chief of Police O'Neil who has per- sonal charge of the 375 policemen detailed | to the stockyards duty during the strike, declared tonight that the police had the
