ordered again in Chicago was a disagreeab bic
surprise 10 the cutters and butcher workmen

The members Of the advisory board generally
took the same view and had several conferences
with the represen tatives of both firms returning

board called on Isaac Blumenthal. president of the
United Dressed Beef Company. and rep
resentattve Of the Schwarzschild & Suzberger Com
pauy. They said when they returned TO their head
quarters that the two firms had paid of their
union men and further that the Schwarzschld &
suIzberger Company had telesraphed 10 IT'S branch
concerns in Chicago and Kansas City TO take the
same action as as practicable.
A telegram was then sent by the advisory board
10 National President Donnely. informing him that
the men were nearly all at work again in this
city and that the of settlement had been lived
up 10.
When the committee adjourned for the night no
