IAlASHINGTON, Sept 14.-Active
w exchanges were in progress to-
day between the officials of the
state and navy departments respecting
the case Of the Russian transport Lena
at San Francisco. Several messages
were drafted which were forwarded to
oyster Bay and san Francisco for the
guidance Of tie officials at the latter
point. Acting Secretary Adee deems
it inexpedient TO make a public state

decision has been reached as to the
course TO be pursued in the case OF the
Lena.
There We're no representations TO the
state department over night by either
the Russian or the japanese govern
ment touching the case. The report OF
the inspector of boilers and hulls
which was referred by the department
Of commerce and labor to the state
and navy departments is substantially
as follows:
The boilers and engines are both
badly i'm need Of repairs. To put i'm
new boilers viii require some four 10
six months. The tubes of the boilers
are badly pitted. but the Lena has on
board 200 additional tubes which could

twenty to thirty days and repaired so

NO HOPE OF
SETTLEMENT
Chicago Packers Issue Statement De
fining Their PSsition-Will Not
Deal With Butchers.
UNIONS IGNORED CONTRACTS
Receipts Small But Prices Have l
Downward Tendeney-RappaI Bros.
Still Advise Shipments.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-The packers
have issued an official statement de-
fining their position in the stock
yards controversy and declaring that
they will not enter into any agree
ment with the striking butcher work
men. In reviewing the causes lead
ing up to the strike, the packers point
out that they offered to submit the
entire matter to arbitration and that
their offer was refused.
After the strike was called they
state that they again took up negotia-
tions with the butcher workmen and
at the end of a week an agreement
was reached which was considered
fair to both parties. Before there was
a chance TO put this agreement into
effect, the cattle butchers held a meet.
ing and decided to ignore the contract
and the second strike WAS ordered.
The statement conclules with the
following:
In what light would the packers
regard contract with the butcher
workmen after these events? What
argument could the union leaders adj
duce in favor OF such a contract or in
favor of arbitration? The packers had
agreements with the car workers and
some other labor organizations, by
which the men were bound not TO
strike. Yet when the butcher work
men were seen to be SO much in the
wrong that they could not enfore
their demands, these contract bound
workmen laid down their tools in a
sympathetic strike. Again. the agree
ment, now so stoutly contended for,
was wilfully torn up. None can truth.
fully say that the owners of the plants
have opposed trade unions. They
never asked their employees as to their
affiliations with labor organizations
or with any association. They knew
when the various unions were being
formed in their plants and they did
not in the least attempt to prevent
their formation.
In conclusion, it cannot be stated
too strongly, that the packers will not
enter into any agreement with the
butchers. Experience has proven that
negotiations with an organization that
has absolutely no regard for the in.
volatility of contract is a foolish
waste of time"
