Another Attempt to Made
 to Settle the Strike
IA CONFERENCE TODAY
The Proposal to be Made by the Strik- ing Packing House Employees, Only a Reiteration of One Rejected by the Packers.

Chicago. July 1S.-One more effort will be made to settle the sock yards strike by arbitration. Tomor- row President Donnelly of the strik- ing union will send to the packers another letter asking a conference. Iii this letter Mir. Donnelly will go oyer the history of the strike and will ask the packers if in their juGgm5 mt | it will not be better to concede the one point in contention than to con-
 tinue the strike. The one point to whick allusion is to be made is the re- fusal of the packers to discharge the
 men they have employed since th- | commencement of the strike and give their places to the men who walked
 out.
 The communication to the packers will also suggest that it is the belief i of the strikers that they are, as old em- plCyes deserving of this consideration.
 If this offer of the union is rejected by the packers, Mir. Donnelly declared to. night, the allied trades at the stock yards, numbering in all about 43,000 men. will be called out tomorrow in an effort to bring the packers to terms. Joseph Morton, of the stationary fire mems union, called upon the packers lODlRHl anu IOlllleu lItill ulllt%6 St speedy ettlement of the strike is made
 his men will be compelled to quit work. While no definite answer was given
 him by the packers. he was received in
 such T Friendly manner that he left
 the conference with the belief that there is still a strong possibility of
 peace and the determination of MT.
 Donnelly to at once open negotiations
 with the packers was the result of the
 manner in which MT. Morton was re-
 Ceived by them.
 According to the reports of the
 packers. the operating forces at the
 plants today were about one-half the
 normal strength. All the plants, it was claimed, did a great deal of kill
 ing, and there was also a adecided in-
 crease in the amount of dressed meat
 shipped out Of the city.
 From the strikers side came the
 statement that the independent plants are dofng all the ~ofk and that the
 big plants are not doing two per cent
 of their normal business. Today was
 almost free from rioting or disturbance Cf nv kind.
