aOuSe propTIeIOTS IS assigned aS the reason.
 The following telegram was sent by President Donnelly to all the em- ployes of various packing houses in the different cities affected by the previous strike:
 Order out all the departments again. Companies violated agree ment.
 (Signed)
 MICHAEL DONNDLIY.
 President International Meat Cut ters and Butcher Workmen." PACKERS MAY SUSPEND KILLING
 The report was current this after noon that the packers had decided to yield no whip to the strikers and to meet continued warfare with a com. plete shutdown of the killing depart ment until such time as sufficient ex- pert non n-union force could be obtained to operate on large normal scale. The grounds for this action are said to be that the packers had found it too ex- pensive and too wasteful to attempt to operate with a small killing gang and had determined if the strikers contin- ued the strike to suspend killing opera tions in all places affected by the strike. The packers. it was said, would con tinte the shipping and handling Of the products on hand, but no killing would be done under unfavorable conditions such as have existed since the strike began.
 Chicago, July 22 To-day 5000 cat tie butchers reported at the stock yards here for work. Only half of them were given places. Thereupon all refused to work. They reported in Ia body at their union headquarters The general order for renewal of the strike was soon withcoming.
 Chicago, July, 22.-WhiIe the im- mediate provocation for the renewal of the strike was apparently the fail- ure of the packers to take back lar ger proportion of the strikers who re- ported for work to-day, the real cause of the rupture was inferred to be circular issued yesterday by the pack CTS. The circular purported to ex- plain to the public the agreement en- tered into with the labor leaders. Seemingly the circular could be taken as implying that the agreement did not bind the packers to re-employ all of the men who walked out. The construction the labor leaders had placed upon the agreement was that all should be re-employed within 45 days. H
 When the 5000 butchers and their helpers went into the yards here to- d fN %nf 1,n{y. AL %f,n 2 eral greeting received was:
 "We cannot take back more than half the regular force.'' Immediately there was a woeful display of chagrin and disappointment. The men held a conference of an impromptu nature and reached an agreement to act as unit or not at all.ai 8g
 You must take Us all back or none," came the reply of the union men who saw performing the tasks they had done before numbers of non- union workmen. The packers refus- ed to accede to this, and a committee YVES sent to President Donnelly. The latter was quickly in communication with his advisers Within an hour and Il half the decision was reached to reopen the strike. President Don- nelly's telegram was accordingly sent to all unions.
 Tie breaking of the agreement came as a surprise to the public de- spite the widespread knowledge that the men were far from satisfied with conditions consequent upon the sign- ing of the terms of peace.
 The summary action of the strike leaders in ordering renewal of hos tilities was followed by equally vigor- ous efforts at a restoration of peace. As a result the news of the strike or der was followed within an hour by an announcement that joint confer ence at the offices of Armour x Go had been arranged to take place this afternoon between the packing house proprietors and the labor leaders. The purpose of the joint conference was stated to be to discuss the alleged unjust discrimination on the part of the packers.
 The portion of the packers circular objectionable to the unionists follows:
 '.In the agreement reached the packers reserve the privilege of re- taining in their employ all employees that have been hired while the strike has lasted, thus guaranteeing to these men the fair treatment they deserve and gaining for the packers one of the most important points for which they contended and for which they stood out so long. The privilege of arbitra- tion with the time limit of 45 days covers the question of discrimination only, and is in no way intended to guarantee to the striking employees that they will be taken back and giv- en the places now filled by non-union help
 Chicago, July 22-President Don- nelly of the Butcher Workmen's union has requested leaders of all allied trades to order out their men on sym pathetic strike.
 Chicago, July 22. President Don nelly immediately after calling the men out the second time. gave out tho following statement relative to his ac- ton:
 s'The packers agreed to replace the
