Chicago. ILL.,, July 26.-No plans
are under consideration for peaceful
settlement of the packing strike.
About twenty-seven thousand workers
are out. Three hundred strike break
ers were taken into the plants this
morning.
A gang of negroes, frightened by
demonstrations of the strikers, fired
point blank into them with revolvers.
The police Immediately arrested two
wagon loads of negroes.
The Union officers have decided
to allow the Independents slaughter
houses to get stock today. The COM
mission men are helping to drive the
stock.
The strikers stoned and turned
back five bread wagons this morning.
The police in patrol wagons were I'M
able to get the wagons through the
lines. AS a result of the negroes
activity with revolvers the police have
been ordered to disarm everyone in
the district.

A Mili Accident.

About Z p. m Friday there was an
explosion at the Moses Bros. Mill
that stirred up the neighborhood for
a. time. Engineer E. P. Smith had
just stepped across to the Santa Fe
depot, and the fireman was standing
in the engine house door, when there
was terrific explosion of the main
steam pipes. The roof of the engine
house was about half blown off, and
it will take several days to repair the
damage done. 1t was indeed fort
innate that no one was in the engine
room at the time, as the escaping
steam filled the whole building.
