STRIKE INTO BACKGROUND
DURING RUN ON The BANK
Three Thousand Depostors Paid in FuIAnoer Move For
Conference Chicago Truck Drivers May Be Called
Oat as Sympathetic Move.
BY the Associated Press.

Chicago, Aug. 5.--The strike in the
packing houses was practically lost
sight of today In the excitement at
tending upon a run on the Drovers'
Trust and Savings bank located in the
stock yards district. The rush of de-
positors to the bank started early to-
day because of an unfounded rumor
that one Of the packers representa-
tiyes had withdrawn money from the
institution and reports that the bank
was being used by the packers as an
adjunct In paying off men who were
to take the places of the strikers. All
day hundreds of excited depositors,
most of whom had only small ac-
counts in the bank. stood in line to
withdraw their deposits. When clos
+. ing time came this afternoon there
were at least one thousand persons
waiting FOR their money.
The place was kept open until every
deposition who had presented himself
at the window had been satisfied. The
bank kept open until after tonight.
Nearly two hours before that time the
last man milne had been paid In fun
and fresh arrivals had ceased coming.
1t is estimated that upwards Of
three thousand depositors withdrew
their deposits during the day
An officer of the bank tonight ex-
pressed his opinion that the run is
ended. but that should it continue to-
morrow the bank can pay every de
positor without touching its reserve. 4
Rumors off another peace eonfer7
ence were occasioned Tonight by the
appearance at the live stock exchange
of John VI. Bosrdman and NJ Z. Nil
Ter, president and secretary of the
Montana Roundup association. an orr
ganization of droyers. which sends
nearly 250,000 head Of cattle to the
yards each year The Montana men
represent several millions OF dollars
and announce that they are in Chica-
go to investigate the causes and con
ditions surrounding the strike. Al
though the employers deny knowledge
of the peace move. IL IS understood
that the Montana men viii try 70 ar
range a conference. The packers to-
night asserted there was a consider
able Increase in the number Of cattle
filled today compared with yester-
days work.
The strikers tonight declared the
striK from now on wou1d be active.
