STRIKE IN
SYMPATHY
Allied Trades Are Out in
the Packing
Houses.
QUIT AT 10 TODAY
Drivers Only Class of Workers
Who Are Not Af-
fected.

Chicago. July 25.-Every livestock
handler in the stock yards quit work
at 10 this morning. The packers
teams are still at work. Nearly all the
machinists. can workers, millwrights
mad helpers, steamfitters, electricians.
plumbers. bOXmakers. engineers and
firemen have struck. No cases of dis
order are reported.
The first big detection in the great
strike came when 700 men, including
scalers and pen-cleaners, employed by
the Union Stock Yards & Transit COM
pany refused to work further. The
first to go were the handlers, follow
ed by the teamsters. AS they passed
out the big gate they were greeted
with cheers by thousands of strikers
in the vicinity. Prior to this exodus
came a small strike in various plants
among mechanical employees.
Did Not Wait for Conference.
The strike, although general, was
conducted without official authoriza-
tion by the heads of the various unions,
but solely upon the order of business
agents who refused to await the action
of the peace conference between rep
resentatives of the allied trades and
the packers which was in session when
the strike occurred.
Drivers Oppose Strike.

general sympathetic strike of all
trades employed in the meat packing
industry in support Of the butcher

Joint council. Permission to engage

house teamsters. Instead of sanction
| ing the entrance of the drivers into
the great struggle, the central body of
the organization appointed a peace
committee.
Promised a WaIkout.
Chicago, July 25.-Attempts to set
tie the second strike of the packing
trades failed Saturday, and last night
the butchers union and allied organ
| iZations, after long conference, sent
an ultimatum to the representatives
of the packers demanding a settle
ment of the strike before this morn
ing on the penalty of a general walk
out of all the union employees at work
in the stock yards.
Packers Statement.
The packers have issued the follow
| ing statement: I'VE regard DOnnelly's
action entirely unwarranted in call
ing the second strike on the sensation
al misleading reports within an aver
age of 80 minutes from the time the
men were ordered to work and before
it was possible for any considerable
number to have been placed, without
making the slightest effort to verify
such reports, or to have them rem
edied if found to exist.
I'VE have a definite agreement with
our employees, the same having been
signed by their representatives and
| the representatives of all mechanical
and allied trades, and we stand ready
on our part to see that it is carried
out"
Will Send New Committee.
Chicago, July 5.-Representatives
| of the butchers and the allied trades
