LONG Struggle
IS Declared OFF
OFFICIALS OF THE BUTCHERS
UNIONS ORDER MEN TO RE-
TURN TO WORK.
AGREEMENT SOUGHT FOR
MECHANICAL TRADES
Allied Board Refuses to Call Off the
Strike of Latter Until Packers Are
Seen-Conditions Under Which the
Men Return.

Chicago, Sept 1O.-Of6cers of the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butch
er Workmen of America officially de-
clared the stockyards strike off Friday
and their action was Endorsed by the
allied trades conference board, but the
latter body refused to call off the strike
of the allied mechanical trades until a
committee could be sent to the packers
to make an effort to get some sort of an
agreement.
Following this action the butcher
workmen withdrew their representa-
tives from the allied conference board.
Donnelly Sends News.
Friday morning President Donnelly
telephoned the news of the calling off of
the strike to St. Joseph, Kansas City, ST.
Paul, Omaha, East St. Louis and other
western packing centers.
Men began returning to work at both
the plants of the "big five" and the indie
Acting under orders from the strike
leaders $500 men returned to their OLD
places with the independence.
Understanding with Packers.
Conditions under which the men are
to return to work are:
The packers agree to give work to as
many of the strikers as are needed, CIV
ing preference in future to the old men
in hiring employees.
Present non-union employees to be
kept so far as they wish to remain.
Wages of the skilled men to be the
same as before. the strike.
The packers agree to treat the labor
ers fairly and declare that in the future
the plants will be run more evenly the
six days of the week.
The Union Stockyard and Transit
company to reinstate all striking live
stock handlers as rapidly as possible
Fifty-Nine Days on Strike.
Begun July II, the struggle continued
for eight weeks and three days. A week
after the strike was first called they
made peace with their employers under
a favorable contract which gave them
practically all they had demanded. The
second walkout occurred the morning
work was to be resumed under that con-
tract. 1t was charged by the packers
that the union broke the agreement by
this act, and since the organizations
steadily lost ground. In Chicago a few
members deserted, and in other packing
centers thousands abandoned the fight.
Desperate means were resorted to to
stem the tide, but the packers continued
to operate their plants with better and
better success. At the last the only thing
left for the union was complete surren-
der.
It is estimated that the total loss by
the strike in wages to butcher workmen
is $2,575 900, and to allied tradesmen
$500, 900 more; estimated loss to pack
ers, $7,000,000; to stockmen, railroads,
etc., -$3,000,000; total estimated loss,
$13, 375, 900.

Slaughter at Liaoyang.
Mukden, Sept. (via Picking, Sept. 81.
"A correspondent of the press who has
just returned to Mukden with the Rus
sian rear guard, after: having accom-
panied the army the whole .time since
the battle of Liaoyang, says the losses
on both sides were enormous. AS q
moderate estimate he places them at
$4,000. He confirms the reports that the
fighting at Liaoyang recalled in fierce
ness the sanguinary battles of the
American civil war. Gen. Kuroki's
flank movement east of the Russian no.
sition precipitated the retreat from
Liaoyang. When the Russians left
Liaoyang the town was strewn with
corpses Of the slain. The Japanese shell
fire continued until September 4, when
the bridges over the Taitse were de-
stroyed. The Russians admit that their
positions ct Liaoyang were too extend
co 1or their army to hold. The greater
portion Of the Russian forces crossed
the Taitse during the night Of Septemc-
Der 2 and engaged Gen. Kuroki with two
corps. The fighting on the first day
was favorable to the Russians, but the
conditions changed at nighttime. The
Russian infantry suffered heavily from
shrapnel and rifle flre The fighting was
