aflliation might be maintained with
the typographical union, with the mo-

A Move to Ne Started DemapdinE

Enforced,

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE stock yards
strike seems no nearer a settlement
than 1t did the day the struggle be-
gan. Efforts Of a committee composed
Of retail butchers and grocers to bring
about a conference between the pack
ers and the strike leaders was of no
avail. The retailers committee was
In conference with men representing
the packers for three hours and at the
end Of the meeting the following state
ment was given out by the committee
of business men: I'VE were courte-
ously received by a committee repre-
senting the packers and were informed
that considering all that had passed
and present conditions no good rea-
son existed why any further confer
ence with the strikers would be bene-
fetal"
When the strike leaders were in
formed Of the determination Of the
packers to refuse to enter into further
conferences with the unionists they
began to form plans to force the hand
of the legal department of the United
States government in an endeavor to
bring about a settlement. This move
was decided upon by the legal advisers
of the strikers after they had received
what they considered reliable informal
ton that the attorney general would
not make a move to bring into opera
tion the perpetual injunction now held
by the government against combina-
lions among the packing firms unless
ordered to do SO by President Roose-
welt.
The plan, in effect, Is this: An &C.

stock in n Of the biggest Of the pack
Ing concerns, demanding that the in

ground that the illegal combination
still exists and through it the share
are suffering loss. This, 1t is
expected by the strike leaders, will

So far nothing but commentator is
heard on the subject. These menser-
wants, say their employers, do the work
that has generally been allotted to
women in a cleaner, quicker and more
thorough fashion than the sex they
have displaced. They waste less time,
have no grievances. no visitors" ask
no high wages, and do not bother about
