WILLING 10 ARBITRATE.

Chicago. July 15.-Both sides willing
to arbitrate. but neither disposed to
allow the other to dictate the condi-
tions under which arbitration should
be agreed to-such was the situation
the fourth day OF the packing house
strike. While the conference between
the packers and the strikers adjourned
last night without effecting a settle-
ment, efforts to this end were contln-
ued to-day.
Material progress has been made,
some of the chief points at Issue hav-
ing been virtually disposed of, and the
remaining differences, although seri-
Gus. are not regarded as insurmount-
able. There is no objection 10 the
provision in the offer of the packers by
which all new employees may be re-
tanned. The strikers say that the
non-union men are not practical pack
ing house workers and that they soon
would be crowded out.
The principal objection made by the
union officials to the offer Of the pack
ers is the provision that they twill
give preference in order Of application
for work. The strike leaders con-
strue this to mean that each man on
strike will be obliged to make an In
dividual application.
Both sides are holding themselves
in readiness for prolonged conflict,
but hope for an aIhicable adjustment
has not died out

Ut is possible that the fourth ship Of

Japanese coast is the cruiser Bogatyr,

thick that the captain caused his pro-

ed on proceeding.
A few minutes afterward the cruiser
struck on the rocks. Mines were i'm
mediately placed around the vessel as
protection against the Japanese and it
required week for the other Russian
cruisers to haul the Bogatyr off. She
was drydocked May 25 and it was then

New York, July 15.-Striking meat
handlers were waiting to-day for the
announcement of the settlement of
the strike against the western pack
ers. This was expected almost any
hour from Chicago but in the mean
time prices Of beef continued to go
up, and other provisions were also af-
fected. The big retail dealers an
nounced to-day that two days more
would see the advance doubled, maxi
ing it from eight to ten cents above
the price before the strike was de-
clared
Poultry and eggs have been advanc-
ed and fish dealers announce that sea
food will be the next to go up.
Cold storage poultry has been adj
vanced two cents pound 1ncubat
chickens and ducks are abundant, but
the price is almost prohibitive to the
poor. Forty-flve carloads of beef
have arrived In the city within the
past twenty-four hours These were
consigned to the independent packers,
but union teamsters refuse to handle
the stock.
Another meeting Of the local strike
leaders will be held to-day. It was
said by strike leader that If a settle
ment should be reached in Chicago to-
day, a meeting would have to be call
ed here before the men could go back
to work,

ANSWER RBrURNED.

Chicago, July 15.-The striking
meat cutters and butcher workmen
this afternoon returned an answer to
the letter formulated at yesterdays 8
joint conference, setting forth the ba-
sis on which the packers were willing
to arbitrate. The substance of the re-
ply was made public by President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor. 1t is a refusal to arbitrate
on the packers terms. The reply re-
news demand for a reinstatement of
all strikers who are members OF the
unions involved. and for a wage scale
equalling that which was agreed upon
May 26. The reply, it was said this
afternoon, could hardly be acceptable
to the packers and it was feared un-
less some new proposition should be
made there would be no further peace
conferences. The packers, however,
consented to meet the labor leaders
this afternoon.
