EFFECT OF NEW STRIKE.
The new strike apparently places the
packers in worse pllghts than before,
for q great number OF the non-union
men have quit Many Of these nom
union workers left last night, fearing
to remain and face the returning strik-
ers.

quiet warnings that there would be
trouble.
As an example of the discrimination
charged, IL was pointed out that Nicho-
las Gier, president of the joint council
and o cattle butcher at Armours, was
passed three times in the examination
of those who presented themselves for
reinstatement. In consequence OF the
attitude of the company the men quit
forthwith
At Swift & Co.'S plant all the cattle
butchers were taken back without
question with the exception of Philip
Murphy n foreman on the beef killing
floor. Murphy was q member of the
union until he was made foreman,
when, under its rules, he was not elig-
ible. His sympathy remained with the
union and when the strike came he
walked out with his men. For this he
was singled out by the management as
Objectionable. The Swift employees
took action similar TO that Of the work.

STRIKE BREAKERS RETAINED
Kansas City, Mo-, July 22.-President
Donelly's order to the packing house
employees to renew the strike came as
a surprise to both the packers and the
men, Although practically all Of the
several thousand men who went out

plants here ready for work, each COM

time and deliberately selected those
who had been least demonstratlve dur

in better favor with the management

In the Armourdale district there was
trouble when the men learned that all
were not to be taken back, and for a
time rloting was threatened. A party
OF striker breakers entering one Of the
plants were attacked by strikers. A
general fist fight ensued and a number
OF non-unlon men were beaten. None
was seriously hurt, however, and the
police soon dispersed the strikers.
Following this disturbance extra pU-

district from Kansas City, Kan. on the
Missouri side additional police were
sent to the Armour and Fowler plants
but at those points there was no show
of trouble.
