mated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workers of America, has ordered
strike Of all the members of the or
ganization employed in New York by
Schwarzschild & SulZberger and the
United Dressed Beef Company. The or
der was telegraphed to New York to-
night.
That the probabilities of a settlement
by the opposing interests in Chicago
are as remote as ever was plainly
demonstrated to-day, when Henry c.
Wallace of Des Moines, Iowa, and A. L.
Ames of buckingham, Iowa, called on
the packers with a proposal from the
strike leaders offering to eoncede the
most important points in the contro-
Versy if the employers would agree TO
renew peace negotiations. Wallace and
Ames were told by the packers that
there was no possible chance for any
further conciliatory move and that the
packers were now in a position where
they could ignore the labor unions, and
that they purDOsed to ignore the strik-
ers. The packers answer was delivered
to the strike leaders, and the men from
Iowa left tonight for home
From a statement made by President
Donnelly tonight il would appear that
the men are becoming anxious TO re-
turn to work.
I'VE shall be glad to confer with rep
resentatives of the packers at any
time" said Donnelly. While 1 cannot
say that our position is in any way
changed we are not anxious to keep
up a running fight, and shall be glad
if a settlement can be effected"
RIOTS BECOME FREQUENT.
Following the arrest of George Gold
en-, chief of the Packing Teamsters' I'm
ion, for picketing, riots became more
frequent near the stockyards this aft
erncon. In one disturbance a mob cap
tured a loaded meat wagon after il had
left the stockyards. upset the wagon
and threw the meat into the street. The
most serious riot of the day occurred
in South Chicago, where five men were
arrested for trying to prevent the de-
livery Of meat. Although the strikers
and their friends became boisterous
when it became known that Golden had
been arrested and made all sorts Of
threats, no one was seriously injured in
any of the many disturbances that oc-
Cured. The police have the situation
so well in hand that before the rioters
can get fairly started in their purpose
they are scattered by the bluecoats.
More business was done to-day by
the packers than at any time since the
strike began. With to-day's additions
TO the new employees obtained from
outside sources, the statement was
made tonight by one of the packers
that fully $4,000 men were It work in
the seven plants where the union men
are on strike. This is nearly half as
many men as went on strike. The
packers declare that they have more
unskilled labor than they want and
that when all the skilled labor which
they have procured in other cities
reaches Chicago all the by-product
plants Will be opened for operation.
PRESIDENT GOLDEN ARRESTED.
President George F. Golden Of the
Teamsters' Union turned strike picket
to-day, defied Police Inspector Nicholas
Hunt and was arrested. Golden dis
covered a wagon owned by Terry &
Co. being driven past his offices. He
called to the teamster: Where are
you gOing2"
Anywhere I please so long as I at
tend to my own business" was the
reply, whereupon Golden ordered the
driver TO turn back
The inspector heard the command
and reassured the teamster, telling him
to go on about his business. Then
came a war of words. Hunt, shaking
his club at the strike leader, declared
there would be an immediate arrest
If Golden did not shut up. He refused
and the arrest followed.
The arrest caused great excitement
and within two minutes SeNerA tnOu-
sand men had gathered to watch the
proceedings.
This is an outrage" declared Cold
en-. Il have been guilty of no offense
against the law"
At the time Of Golden's arrest the
police also took into custody G. T.
Busse, who was in the teamsters' head
quarters. He was charged with inter-
fering with an officer.
Roth prisoners We're taken 70 the sta
tion in a patrol wagon. Bail was re-
fused them at first and they were sent
to cells vehemently protesting against
what they declared was an outrage.
It was the first time a chief of the

tomorrow. George 7. Busse, the off,

freed, on bonds.
International President Shea of the

rest of Golden. Colorado methods
seem to prevail" said he.
Inspector Hunt also issued a verbal

unions. save in private halls.
Regarding the manifesto as parallel
to the attitude taken by the authorities
in Colorado, the strikers were thrown
