PREPARING TO ARBITRATE.
Meat Cutters and Employers May Agree
Upon Settlement.

CHICAGO, July l4.-The first step

ing employees was taken today, when
President Michael Donnelly Of the
Amalg lgamated Meat Cutters and
Butchers Union of North America
held conference with representatives
OF the packing houses, in which the
strike was discussed. Both sides are
in favor of a peaceable settlement up
on an equitable basis, and it is be-
lieved that an arrangement will be
made for the men to return to work
pending an adjustment of the Difficult.
ties by arbitration.
j. 0. Armour, for the employers,
and Michael Donnelly, for the work
ers, have united in declaring they
favor arbitration. The head of the
union, in council with President Sam
uel Gompers of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor, was advised to make
terms at once it he could secure what
he deemed fair consideration.
1t is understood that in conference
today the union leaders will insist
that all strikers be reinstated. An
other point on which the labor men
will lay their stress will be that a
wage scale for each class Of workers
in the packing plants be agreed on.
This brings up one of the original
difficulties. The packers have main.
tanned that any contract made would
not include the unskilled workers.
