THE PACKING
HOUSE STRIKE

CHICAGO. July 23.-Women today
Joined the mob of strikers, and when
the news was passed around that the
joint conference had suddenly stopped,
failing to come to an agreement, the
disorder became quite general. At
west Forty-sixth street 500 women
joined the men in an attack upon non
union workers who were on their way
to the yard gates. Sticks and brooms
were used and stones were thrown,
the non-union men escaping by dem
onstration of their ability as foot
racers.
At today's conference the labor rep
resentatives apparently considered the
former agreement abrogated. The
new demands call for the immediate
reinstatement of killing gangs and
meat butchers in a body. This the
packers say is impossible to grant just
now, and the conference broke up, the
union leaders going at once to their
headquarters to discuss a sympathetic
strike.
CHICAGO, July 25.-No general
strike of the allied trades occurred
this morning, but 500 millwrights and
500 can workers walked out dramatic

precaution is being taken to prevent
