dent Eonnelly Of the striking unions
will send to the packers another letter
esking for conference. In this let
ter Donnelly will go over the history
of the strike, and will ask the packers
II. in their judgment, it will not be
better to concede the one point in con-
kention than to continue the strike.
Tho one point to which allusion is to
be made is the refusal OF the packers
TO discharge the men they have en-
ployed since the commencement Of the
Strike. and give their places to the
men who walked out.
The communication to the packers
will also suggest that 1t is the belief
of the strikers that they are. as old
employees. deserving of this consider
Elton. II this offer of the union is re-
bected by the packers. Donnelly de-
clared the allied trades at the stock
yards. numbering in all about $4,000
men, will be called out today in an
Effort to bring the packers to terms.
Joseph Morton of the stationary fre-
mems union called on the packers and
|3potified them that unless there II a
Speedy settlement of the strike his
men will be compelled to quit work.
While no definite answer was given
Morton by the packers, he was re-
reived in such friendly manner that
he left the conference with the belief
hat there is still strong probability
pr peace and the determination of
Donnelly to once moro open negotia-
Ions with the packers was the result
pf the manner in which Morton was
Feceived by them.
According to representatives Of the
packers. the operating forces at the
plants were about one-half the normal
strength. being fully 30 per cent
larger than last Saturday All the
plants, 1t was claimed. did great
ieal of killing and there was also a
iecided increase in the amount OF
dressed meas shipped from the city.
From the strikers side came the state
|nent that independent plants are do
ng all the work and that the big
plants are not doing per cent Of
heir normal business.
