DonneIIy Acts.
Acknowledging the defeat of his or
ganization and insisting that the of
fers OF Intermediates should be re-
ceived as solution OF the industrial
difficulties, President Donnelly as
sumed an attitude of leadership that
had been taken from him by the allied
trades conference board, and I'm an
imprisoned address TO representa-
tves of the various packing trades
forced the end of the strike
Better Conditions to Prevail.
Within an hour the packers had
been apprised of the situation, and had
answered that the old men would be
received back at any time under the
terms which were rejected by referen-
dunn. More satisfactory conditions for
both employers and employees are en-
bodied in the agreement
There will be no wholesale dis
charge OF the colored and foreign la
borers who have acted as strike
breakers. No provision has been made
for the unskilled workers. For a time
their wages will be the same as before
the strike and the union leaders hope
that later the packers will offer TO
submit the question of pay to an arbi-
tration committee.
DIR. Cornelia De Bey and John III.

that the packers probably would agree
