President Donnelly. of the
Strikers, Says the Fight
Has Only just Begun

EtheIbert Stewart of the United States
Department Of Commerce and Labor
In Chicago to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Civic Federation May Act - Stock
Yards consested.

Chicago, Aug. 11.--President Michael
Donnelly today said he had little faith
in the peace negotiations to settle the
packing house strike. 1T looks to me
rs though this was only the beginning
of the fight" he said. II will not stand
now for the first agreement. The mat
ter is now beyond me. The allied
trades conference board will have to
approve Of any terms offered Ethell-
bert Stewart, representing the United
States department OF commerce and
labor, visited Donnelly today and had a
conference with the strike leaders.
During the life OF Senator Hanna,
Stewart was active in the interests of
the National Civic Federation. This
fact gave rise TO the theory that the
federation is becoming interested In the
stock yards situation. With a view to
bringing about the peace conference c.
w. Foster, member of the committee
appointed by the retail butchers and
grocers association, met Louis +.
Swift today With the aid OF Swift.
Foster hoped to induce all the packers
to consent to another conference with
the labor leaders.
Not in long time has there been
such apprehension of the loss among
the shippers and commission men as
there was In the yards today. The
live stock receipts consisted of 1000
cattle. 3.400 hogs and $4,000 sheep and
to this was added more than half of
yesterdays receipts. There was little
buying yesterday and less today and as
a result prices We're lower. This IL
largely due to shutting down of the
big eastern plants. which bought heavs

Cured in the vicinity of Mukden. The
