END. OF STRIKE
STILL DISTANT
Merchants Committee Fails
to Induce the Packers to
Confer With Union Men
EMPLOYEES TO TRY LAW
Will Seek to Have Enforced
Federal Court Injunction
Against Trade Combines

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE stock
yards strike tonight seems no nearer
a settlement than it did the day the
struggle began. The efforts of a COM
mittee composed of retail butchers and
grocers to bring about a conference
between the packers and strike lead
ers was of no avail to-day. The re-
tailers' committee was in conference
with Edward Tilden, John Maurer,
Thomas Wilson and Thomas j. Con-
ners. representing the packers. for
three hours this afternoon and at the
end of the meeting the following state
ment was given out by the committee
of business men;
I'VE were courteously received, by a
committee representing the packers
and were informed that considering all
that had passed and present conditions
no good reason existed why any fur
ther conference with the strikers would
be beneficial"
When the strike leaders were in
formed of the determination of the
packers to refuse to enter into further
conferences with the unionists they
began to form plans to force the hand
of the legal department of the United
States Government in an endeavor to
bring about a settlement This move
ment was decided upon by the legal
advisers of the strikers after they had
received what they considered reliable
information that the Attorney General
would not make a move to bring into
operation the perpetual injunction now
held by the Government against COM
binations among the packing firms un-
less ordered to do so by President
Roosevelt. The plan in effect is this
Tomorrow or next day an action
VIII be started in the Federal Court in
the name Of a striker who holds stock
in one of the biggest of the packing
concerns, demanding that the injunc-
ton be put into operation, on the
ground that the Illegal combination
still exists and, through it, the share
holders are suffering loss This, it is
expected by the strike leaders, will in
duce President Roosevelt to take up
the fight and force the packers to pro-
duce their books, contracts and agree
ments in open court. Such a step, it is
believed by the strikers, will bring the
packers to terms and end the struggle
While standing on his doorstep to-
night John Schuman, strike breaker,
was attacked by rioters and severely

MANAGER AND FIRM
DIFFER AS TO DUES
Two Suits Filed in Which Each Side
Claims Large Amount OF
Money Coming.


There is a wide difference in the
opinions of W. F. Clark and Cation,
Bell & Co. as to the amounts of money
due from each to the other. Clark
says that the firm owes him $4,000,
and the firm declares that Clark is lin
debt to it in the sum of 1851 4S. Both
sides filed suits yesterday in the Su-
periOr Court.
Clark's attorney is G.. H. Perry and
his complaint is 6irected against j.
h. Bell and a. D. Harrison, doing an
insurance business as Cation, Bell &
co. Clark AYERS that for ten years
prior to March 21, 1903, he was en-
ployed as general manager of the con-
Germ on a promise of $500 a year. be-
sides percentage of the proceeds of
the business. He alleges that the firm
has failed to account for the percent
age due him and he sues for $4,000
upon the basis of his information as
to the amount of business done.
The suit against Clark is brought by
the firm through its attorney, Francis
j. Heney. They recite that they en-
ployed Clark on June 80, 1899, at a
fixed salary and that his services ceas-
ed March 81. 1903. They declare that
he has been in their debt since De-
cember 81, 1902, for $76S14S under
a running open account agreed upon
between them, whereby the firm
loaned him money, paid his debts to
other persons and bought goods for
him. When the account was balanced
the firm owed him $500 for services
and he was indebted for the difference
named.
Attorney Perry is authority for the
statement that his client, Clark, will
Immediately sue the insurance firm
for 100000 damages for defamation

greater good that would spring from
