PACKERS HOLD THEIR OWN.
Working Force at Plants Is Steadily

Chicago. Juiy l9.-There was little IL
any change in the meat packers strike.
With Michael j. Donnelly. the strik-
ers' leader, in st. LOUIS looking after
that end of the difficulty. there was no
effort here today to renew the peace
three days last week, and were ter
minated last night without results.
Whether another attempt to reach an
adjustment of the controversy by arbi-
tratlon viii be made is problenatical,
as ,he packers, believing they had the
better of the argument in last weeks
conferences. are little inclined to offer
any concessions to the strikers,
one thing is certain the packers saw.
and that is hat they will not recede
from the position they assumed in last
weeks conferences and that the strik-
ers VIII have to conform to the en-
ployers' ultimatum before any further
peace plans looking to a settlement bv
arbitration will be successful.
10 add to the packers dissemination
to stand firm is the fact that they
s.eadiastly increased their working
OF outside workmen until today II was
said that things We're in almost normal
condition at several plants. Under
these conditions the packers have as
sumed q more Independent attitude and
are more determined than ever that

the terms on which the controversy
shall be arbitrated.s
AS the strikers declare that they con-
coded every possible point in last
weeks conferences, there is little like
lihood that any further conferences,
for the present, at least, would mount
to much toward a satisfactory end of
the strike.
The sticking point to the whole
question of arbitration is the REIN
statement of the strikers. Mr.. Dom
nelly, at yesterdays conference with
mand he had made and agreed to or
der the men back to work leaving the
adjustment OF all differences to arbi-
t%ration. if the employers would take
back all the strikers in n body
This the packers refused to do, main
wQrkmen since the strike, whom they
could not discharge. They promised,
however, to talk" back the old employees
as rapidly as possible, and in the order
in which their applications WERE filed.
The union officials declare tina they
will never accept this proposition, as
they say it would mean the disruption
of the union inside of three months.
To colnplicata the controversy still
more, the allied craft at the stock
yards. numbering l,4O0 men. is becom-
ing restless and anxious to join the
men already out on sympathetic strike.
Whether these men will go on strike or
not will be decided tomorrow when Mr..
Donnelly returns from ST. Louis.
These unions, representing thirty OF
the mechanical trades in the packing
plants. have decided to quit work If
Mr.. Donnelly says SO.
Unless the strike is settled without
delay today's rioting Is believed to be a
forerunner of worse disturbances that
Will come later, as the sentiment in the
stock yards district is very bitter
against %nonunion workmen.

week. AS the four workmen approached
the place some one In the crowd yelled
"scabs' and instantly a rush was made
for the negroes.
Wood had Il revolver and Baker a.
knife and as the crowd started for
them they drew their weapons. Before,
they could use them they were thrown
to the ground by a dozen white men.
Baker sprang to his feet and began
slashing right and left and before the
knife could be taken from him he had
stabbed Kiely. Wood fired into the
