WIN
BIG VICTORY
Packers Forced 10 Meet
Employees Half Way

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE big stock
yards strike which has been acutely
imminent for a week, is declared to
be only remote possibility Business
agent Golden, who has predicted the
hopelessness of settlements, late this
afternoon received communications
from the packers which eliminate all
probability of strike, in his opinion.
Golden's union composed of 765 men,
and affiliated organizations having an
additional 800 members. demanded a
horizontal increase of 4 cents an hour
The packers refused to meet their
committees, ignored their request for
appointments for conferences, and up
to the last moment showed a deter
mination not to cOncede anything
Golden this morning issued strike
order The men gathered their be-
lOngings at the different parts and
prepared to go out al midnight
meeting of the joint council of team
sters and the rank and file was called
for the purpose of inaugurating the
strike. At late hour Golden received
the following from the big firms:
The present rates of wages by us
are as high or higher than are paid by
other teaming interests, and are high
er than the rates paid packing house
trusts in western markets.
I'VE are willing to to modify only
working conditions that are an un-
necessary hardship, and continue the
present scale of wages.
IF the above is not satisfactory, we
are willing to arbitrate the entire
wage scale and working conditions
On receipt of the communication
Golden said:
LAS far as strike is concerned, the
men were willing from the first to
arbitrate. They did not want to strike.
and although every preparation has
been made they are determined to
strike only because the packers had
ignored them. An. hour ago We saw
nothing but a strike now there is no
strike in sight"
The plan to hold the midnight meet
ing will be carried out and vote be
taken by the men on the proposals to
arbitrate.

Issues Statement

PORTLAND, July lion being
asked regarding the Hill-Harriman

regarding Hartman, Senator Tillman,
while visiting in this city, the other

do you imagine for an instant that
Hartman will ever be put behind
bars, even if he is convicted of wrong
doing? Pshaw. All this talk of what
Roosevelt is doing is the worst kind
of humbug. Has he ever had the land
taken by these grafters returned to
the government? What has he done to
put these wholesale robbers into pris-
on? Why, no matter how bad matters
are in the Investigations that are be-
ing stirred up, the perpetrators of
crookedness manage to escape with
small fines which they are we'll able to
pay.

earnest trust and graft buster that
people are led to believe. He merely
mods his efforts to catch popular
opinion
