BOTH SIDES ROASTING
The Sympathetic Strikers Make Over. lures for Their Return to Work. Relief Stations Opened for Families of Strikers Are We'll Attended.

Chicago, July S0.-The conflict be- tween capital and unionism which has, geen going on in the packing trade1 industry throughout the country for | three weeks shows no sign of settle ment Tonight both of the opposing | interests seem as determined as ever on a fight to a finish. The packers | tonight declare that they have pract1- | cally won their fight and that the strikers are becoming demoralized. In direct opposition to this statement or the employers the strike leaders as- sert that the victory is with work men and that it will be a matter of but short time until the packers will be compelled to ask for peace.
 Leaders of four allied trades unions which went on strike in sympathy with the packing house butchers are said by the packers to have made over lures for reinstatement today. Ac- cording to the packers the emissaries from these four skilled trades sought 10 learn upon what terms the strikers would be reinstated should they re- turn in a body. The answer the packers say they gave to these peace missionaries was that the strikers 1 would be rcemployed as fast as condi- | tions might Irrant, but only as in dividuals and not as members of any union.
 1 The strike leaders disclaimed any ] knowledge of the action taken by the four unions and repeated their asser- tions that the outlook for victory fo- the striking workmen was more satis | factory than ever.
 During the afternoon there was an attempt on the part of disinterested | parties to induce President Donnelly. of the butchers union. to appeal to President Roosevelt to offer his good 1 offices and bring the strike to an end. | MT. Donneily refused to consider the proposition. We are winning the strike and need no help from the president" said MT. Donnelly. There may be a few assertions from our ranks, but they are comparatively few 2 and do not hurt our cause to any eX- , tent. All the talk about the strikers being on the verge of starvation is nonsense. Up to date there have been about two per cent of the entire num- Der of strikers who have applied for | relief. We have prepared to carry OH lilc SlI4ht lIuellillltlSs ndNfilB Std = tions well equipped to supply all our men with food, and the distribution will be increased as the strike contin- ues."
 President Donnelly left tonight fcr
 Omaha, where he will address a meet ing of strikers tomorrow He afso
 will visit Kansas City and St. Jo-
 seph, and will return to Chicago next | Thursday.
 A committee from the striking
 trades met the officials of the Unioh
 Stock Yards and Transit company to-
 day in reference to the work of the
 livestock handlers. After the situa
 tion had been canvassed 1t was decid-
 ed to permit the men to continue hand ling livestock both for the packer. where the union men are on strike anC
 the independent concerns until some
 method might be devised whereby tn.
 Union Stock Yards and Transit com
 pany could be protected from possibl,
 injunction proceedings for discrimina
 ting against the big packers.
 The packers continued today to ado f to their forces of non-union men , During the day 600 strike breakers
