Packers Quarrel Has Now
Extended to New York
City.
COMPROMISE IS FAR OFF
Eastern Packers Give 1t Out That
Conference With Strike Leaders
Would Be Unavailing.
The Latter Thereupon Ordered the
Men In New York Packing
Houses to Go Out.

Chicago, July 3O.-Unable to ar
range a conference with the represen-
tatives of the New York packers,
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butch
er Workmen of America, has ordered
a strike of all the members of his CT
ganization employed in New York by
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger and the
United Dressed Beef company. The
order, which was telegraphed to New
York last night, does not go into effect
until Sunday, as the men in the East
work on Saturday.
The decision to extend the strike to
the East was not taken until after
Mr.. Donnelly and his associates had
spent the day in fruitless effort to ar
range meeting with representatives
of the Eastern packers who came to
Chicago to acquaint themselves with
the situation here. The general be-
lief was that the New York packers
the butchers, but if such was the case
tuSy CuduSCU luclI nlIuS alter 1uVSS-
tigating the progress that had been
made here in working the plants with
non-union employees. At o'clock last
night, when Homer D. Call, secretary
of the national organization of the
butcher workmen, made a final appeal
over the telephone to the representa-
tives of Schwarzchlld & Sulzberger for
a meeting between the members of
that firm and the officers of his union
he was told that the Eastern packers
had nothing to offer the men should
such a meeting be arranged and that
the conference would only be a waste
of time. When this announcement Of
the Eastern packers had been COM
municated to Mr.. Donnelly he decided
on the strike order.
That the probabilities of a settle
ment by the opposing interests in Chi
cago are as remote as ever, was plain
ly demonstrated when Henry G. Wal
lace of Des Moines, Ia, and A. L.
AmeS of Buckingham, Ia, called on
the different packers with a PROPOSE
ton from the strike leaders offering
to concede the most important point
in the controversy if the employers
would agree to renew peace negotia-
tions. Mr.. Wallace and Mr.. Ames
were told by the packers that there
was no possible chance for any fur
Their cOnciliatory move and that the
packers were now in a position where
they could ignore the labor unions and
that they proposed to do so. The
packers answer was delivered to the
strike leaders, and the men from Iowa
left for home.
From a statement made by Presi-
dent Donnelly it would appear that
the men are becoming anxious to get
back to work. I'VE shall be glad to
confer with representatives of the
packers at any time" said Mr.. Don
nelly. while I cannot say that our
position is in any way changed, we are
not anxious to keep up a running fight
and shall be glad if a settlement can
be effected"
At meeting of the leaders of the
men on strike last night a resolution
was adopted denouncng the city adj
ministratiOn, including Mayor Carter
H. Harrison, Chief of Police O'Neill
and Inspector Hunt. The latter is the
officer who arrested President Golden
of the transfers union. 1t was also
decided at the meeting to appeal to
Sheriff Thomas Barrett for protection
What benefit the strikers hope to de-
rive from an appeal to the county Off
Gals is known only to themselves
