TO SETTLE
TROUBLE
Way Paved for the Re-Opening OF
Negotiations Between Pack.
ers and Strikers.
Committee of WOrkmen Meets
Employers But the Result
Is Not known.

Chicago, Aug. 1G.-What is believed
to be tantamount to reopening of ne
gotiations for peace, emanating from
the packers, brought a session of the
allied trades conference board to a
termination.
The board had been in session sew
eral hours when messenger arrived
bearing word from the packers. Word
spread that the way had been paved
for the reopening of peace negotia-
tiOns. The news was greeted with en-
thusiasm. A committee from the con.
ference board was quickly selected
and left, ostensibly to meet the pack
ers. The utmost secrecy governed the
steps that followed the appearance OF
the messenger. Adjournment was
taken shortly after. The conferees
were instructed to remain within easy
call to receive report from the com
mittee that was sent out.
It was nearly an hour before the
strikers committee, headed by Presi-
dent Donnelly and Nicolas Gier, re-
turned to union headquarters. The
conference Of the allied trades then
reassembled to receive the commit
tees report. The Importance with
which it was regarded was obvious by
the anxiety with which the return OF
the committee was awaited. A long
session followed.
Meat dealers pleaded with Mayor
Harrison during the afternoon to stop
the stock yards strike Oscar F. Mayer
George Duddleston and others of the
Hn1o,rD Of fov LN,,i 4
evening for the purpose went into ses-
sion with the mayor. Mr.. Duddleston
who supplies meat to five railway COM
panies, said he had suffered severely
by the boycott and had been prevented
from making deliveries.
Mayor Promises to Assist. :
Mayor Harrison told the meat deal
ers' committee that he Woald try to
get the packers and strikers together
with a view to ending the strike.
Previous to the meeting OF the al
lied trades council President Donnelly
of the butcher workmen said:
Il have read the stories that we
secretly met representatives of the
packers within the last two days and
that we intended to hold another meet
ing. The stories are absolutely un-
true. Neither we nor any persons rep
resenting us have seen any represen-
tatives of the packers. 1 have no rea-
son to believe the packers have sought
to see us. Any conference that is held
must include all the interests affected
and must be held with representatives
of the allied trades. Any agreement
that might be reached would have to
be ratified by the allied trades Any
agreement made would have to take
care of all the labor interests in.
volved."
The packers were just as positive
and their expressions indicated that
they considered general negotiations
fully as useless now as they did a
week ago
