HITCH In NEGOTIATIONS
FOR STRIKE SETTLEMENT
BUT STILL INDICATIONS AD-
JUSrMENT WILL BE REACHED.

Agreement Delayed over Question of
Reinstatement of the strikers-Labor
Leader wishes Promise That All wIIl
be Taken Back Before He Enters Into
Agreement to ArbItrate ~ Counter
ProposaIs-Rioting.
Chicago, July 1.-THE strike which
has demoralized the packing industry
throughout the country has not yet
been settled. but there are indications
that it VIII soon be by the adjustment
OF the difficulties by arbitration.
After conference which lasted all
of the afternoon between representa-
tiyes of the packers and officers of the
unions, the employers tonight are
waiting for an answer to counter pro-
posal, which they submitted to Michael
J. Donnelly in reply to a statement Of
the terms on which he would be willing
to make a settlement.
Mr. Donnelly said tonight that the
counter proposal of the packers would
be rejected, and that he would present
q counter proposal tomorrow.
The hitch in the negotiations is over
the reinstatement of the strikers. The
union demands that every man who
went on strike will be given his old
place before an agreement to arbitrate
will be considered. The packers de-
clare that they will retain the men
that they have employed since the
strike began, and will take back the old
men in the order in which they file ap-
plications for their old places.
While the negotiations were in prog
ress to-day the packers, hearing that
efforts were being made to induce rail-
road men, who are members of unions,
to refuse to handle supplies for packing
plants where the men are on strike,
were busy putting in great stocks Of
coal for fear the railroads might at
tempt to stop the supply.
Rioting commenced in the stock
yards tonight and one man was shot
in the left shoulder by the police.
The incidents leading up to the shoot
Ing began when a party of strikers
met a detachment of police in Paulina
street, near the stock yards. Several
volleys of stones had been thrown be-
fore the police drew revolvers and fired
several shots at the crowd. The wound
ed man and a companion were taken
to the police station. which in a few
minutes were surrounded by crowd
of several hundred men, women and
boys. Calls were. sent for reinforce
ments, and in short time several pa
troll wagons with policemen from other
stations arrived. The crowd refused to
give way and the reinforcements were
compelled to fight their way to the sta
tion DOORS but after short time the
crowd dispersed.
Several other fights occurred tonight
but no one was severely hurt.
Lieutenant Prin Of the stock yards
police station, was injured tonight by
a large dog whil attempting to arrest
rioter who had fled into a saloon near
the stock yards. When Lieutenant
Prim stepped inside the saloon the pro-
prietor urged a large dog to attack him.
The dog lacerated Prim's leg. severely.
The proprietor and several other men in
the place were arrested.

ed during the fight at the stock yards
