Chicago. Aug. 12.--An unusual pro
ceeding in strike troubles and one
which has called forth much com.
mcndation, was the decision Of the
stock yards labor leaders not to pay
benefits In cash. but to use the funds
for the purchase and distribution of
food and the neccssarics of life for
the families involved. II Is reported
that the result has been greatly i'm.
proved conditions in the homes and a
heavy falling off in the patronage Of
the saloons.
As rule labor organizations pro
vide that strikers shall receive from
rs to sS week each in cash as a
benefit while they are deprived of the
income which they would have receiv'
ed for their work. II is said that in
many cases much of this has gone to
saloons and needy families have suf.
fered as consequences.
To avoid repetition OF this expert
ence In other trades and to conserve
their resources as much as possible II
was agreed upon by the leaders Of the
butcher workmen to look first to the
actual needs of the homes. Practical
ly the only money given out has been

of the strikers families more loyal to

The commissary department for the
assistance of those needing foods is
said to have been put on systematic
basis by which all are well supplied.
II Is declared that no one affected by
the strike need go hungry. Dcpots
have been established at Thirty'flfth

For more than a year after the
