trades promised to take up the Ques-
tion at formal meeting. Meanwhile
the sympathetic general strike spread
rapidly. When the scale men quit
they left unweighed cattle on the
scales. Not all the machinists went
out. The strike soon involved every
craft at the stock yards except the
teamsters. The joint conference of the
teamsters and packers ended without
making much if any progress. The
packers demand that the union men
come to them with definite proposi-
ton. After the adjournment of the
peace conference it developed that a
sympathetic strike had been officially
authorized by the proper boards of
all the allied trades with the excep
ton of the teamsters. The engineers
and firemen were allowed to stay at
their posts until 6 p. m. A sympathet
ic strike has not yet taken place at
Kansas City, ST. Louis, ST. Joseph,
and Omaha, but the men will go out
in these cities when the order is re-
ceiyed.
