CHICAGO PACKERS ISSUE
AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-The packers have
Issued an official statement defining
their position In the stock yards con-
troyersy and declaring that they Will
net enter into any agreement with the
striking butcher workmen. In review
ing the causes leading up TO the strike,
the packers point out that they offered
10 submit the entire matter TO arbitra-
tiOn, and that their offer was refused.
After the strike was called they state
that they again took up negotiations
with the butcher workuen and at the
end of a Week an agreement was reach
ed which was considered fair to both
parties Before there was a chance to
put this agreement into effect the eat
tie butchers held a meeting and decided
TO ignore the contract and the second
srke was ordered, The statement con-
cludes with the following
an what light would the packers re-
gard contract with the butcher work
men after these eyents2 What argu-
ment could the union leaders adduce In
favor of such contract or In favor OF
arbitration
THE packers had agreements with
the car workers and some other labor
organizations, by which the men were
morally bound not TO strike, Yet,
when the butcher workmen We're seen
to be so much in the wrong that they
could not enforce their demands, these
contract bound workmen laid down
their tools I'm sympathetic strike. Again
the agreemnt now 80 stoutly contend-
ed for was wilfully torn up. None
can truthfully say that the owners OF
the plants have opposed trade unions
They never asked their employees as TO
their afiiliation with labor organlza-
tons or with any association. They
knew when the various unions were
being formed in their plants and they
did not I'm the least attempt to prevent
their formation.
I'm conclusion It cannot be stated too
strongly that the packers Will not en-
ter into any agreement with the butch
ers Experience has proven that nego-
tiatIons with AN organization that has
absolutely no regard for the involiblllty
OF contract IL a foolish waste OF time

WAR MANIFESTO
BY THE CAR

st, Petersburg, Feb. 10. The Off
cial Messenger this morning contains
the following supreme manifesto. =
By the grace Of q ID, we, Nicholas
IT, Emperor Of All the Russians, etc. 4
make known to all our loyal subjects:
In our solicitude for the mainte
nance Of peace, which is dear to our
heart, we made every exeltion to con j
solidate tranquility in the far east.
In these peaceful aims we signifed
assent to the proposals Of the Japanese
soyernn ent to revive agreements re-
garding Korean affairs existing be-
tween the two governments.
However, the negotiations begun
upon this subject were not brought to
q conclusion and JapanS without
awaiting the receipt of the last re-
sponsive proposals Of our government,
declared the negotiations broken off
and diplomatic relations with Russia
dissolved.
Without advising us of tho fact
that the breach OF such relations
would in itself mean an opening of
wallike operations, the japanese
government gave orders to its torpedo
boats to sudd -nly attack our squadron
standing in the o.ter harbor of the
fortress of Port Arthur Upon re
ceiving reports fro-1. the viceroy in
the far east about this, we immedi-
ately commanded him to answer the
Japanese challenge with armed force.
Making known this our decision,
we, with mistaken faith in the Al
mighty and with a firm expectati n
of and reliance upon the unanimous
willingness of all our loyal subjects
to stand with us in defense Of the
Fatherland, ask Gods blessing upon
Our stalwart land and naval forces.
Given at st. Petersburg, Jan.
9th, 1904, a. D, New calendar
Feb. 1904 and in the tenth year q
our reign. Written in full by the
hand Of
His Imperial Majesty. Nicholas.
