BREAK AT KANSAS CITY.
Strikers Weaken and Apply for Their
Old Positions.

Kansas City. Aug. 2.-Develop-
ments in the packing house strike
were serious from the standpoint of
the strikers, as hundreds of their
number returned to work. many of
them being skilled workmen. The
serious break in the ranks of the
strikers was caused by their growing
tired of waiting for strike benefit
money promised from Chicago and be-
cause they could not afford to remain
idle longer without pay. Few Of the
men who applied for work were re-
fused their old places. = Many who re-
turned to work are cattle and hog
butchers. which will assist materially
in increasing the output Of the pack
ers. The packers assert that the
strike is practically broken here. All
talk of sympathetic strike seems to
have ceased.

BUSY AT THE YARDS
CHICAGO PACKERS ALLEoG THE
STRIKE is BROKEN.
Three Hundred and Fifty Strikers
Desert Unions and Get Old Places.
Rioters Attack Police Station and
Are Beaten.

Chicago, Aug 2.-AS near as could
be estimated, $50 union men Of the
various trades on strike returned to
work during the day.
With increased forces of skilled
workers and their operating depart
ment more thoroughly equipped than
at any time since the beginning of
the strike the packers took firm
grip en- the machinery of their affairs
and as q result the stock yards took
on the old hum of activity to great
extent. over 7S,000 head Of live
stock were received here. This is an
ceipts on the corresponding day last
week Such an amount of live stock
would under normal conditions have
had depressing effect on the market
and when the trainloads OF animals
began to pour into the ySTds, stock
men and traders feared a panic. but
It did not occur Prices were lowered
sharply, but the fact that the maj ket
held SO well as 1t did seemed to prove
beyond argument that the packers
are prepared to increase their output.
O. The big packers bought S,n00 cat.
tie. 1900 hogs and 10000 sheep dur
ing the day. Further proof Of the
claims CT the packers that the diff
culties of the strike are being over
come was furnished by the shipment
of 500 carloads of fresh meats from
the stock yards. OF this number, 400
cars were loaded and shipped by the
firms affected by the strike.
Chief of Police O'Neill. who has
taken personal charge o. the stock
yards during the trouble. declared his
belief that peace in the strike is in
sight and by tomorrow great changes
will be seen, tending toward a peace
full end.
Rioters stoned the Deering street
an hour the police battied with the
crowd of 1000 men and women. as it
charged the station repeatedly with
sticks and stones, shouting vengeance
against the police. The trouble start

sistance of Frank Castellano. strike

who had been dragged from a street
car and severely beaten. Before the

mob. already in an angry mood, be,
came infuriated when they saw that
their companion had been shot. At
least 100 men made rush for Castel-
lano, but he was rescued by the po-
lice. Stones and bricks by the hun
dred were then hurled at the station
and all the windows in the place were
broken.
A fight. in which squad Of police,
summoned by a riot call had 10 use
their clubs against a crowd of strike
sympathizers. occurred in an alley
near the yards. Tho police won the
day and took into custody two of TIE
