STRIKE BREAKERS OFFERED
PACKING HOUSE MANAGERS TO
CONSIDER PROPOSALS.
Denial That Lockout Was Fore
stalled by Strike-Hope to Y
Win Over Men.

From yet another source has come an
offer Of aid to the Washington Association
OF Packing House Managers in their fight
to establish the open shop in abattoirs and
packing houses in this city.
\ telegram was received yesterday from
one professional strike-breaker in near
by city outlining proposition to put any
number of skilled artisans in the places of
the members of Local Union No. 14s.
Butcher Workmen. who walked out last
Thursday. The packers have arranged 10
meet this man in conference today.
The second offer came from the same
city by long distance telephone to Secre-
tary Charles G. Pfiuger late yesterday ait
ernoon P1uger was informed that ne
could expect a letter today. in which this
non union labor leader promised TO pun at
the packers command all the men tneE
might need-the strike-breakers TO oe men
who can do all the work required OF them
and men who will keep the OHereu poSi-
tons permanently.
Speaking particularly for the RossIyn
Packing Company, Phuger salo ne mas
seen several former employees OF MS con
cern-men he would regret 10 see lii u
tressed by loss of their sources OF llVeh-
hood-and he thought they realize the Sc
robustness of the situation and Will Apply
for their old places before 1t is too late.
The other packers, 1t Is peheVeo: diso
have been going out of their way to try
to bring back many of their best men,
most of whom are thought to have been
unwillingly drawn into the contest
Quite number Of members OF the
strikers ranks were not even In atteno-
ance at the meeting of the union when
the walkout was ordered. Their employ
ersi claim to have received authentic in
formation that these men joined In the
movement solely in spirit Of loyalty 10
the union and without any real sympathy
for its contentious and methods.
Pfuger branded as a misstatement the
claim of the strikers that the EMPLOYERS
had intended to declare lockout at the
end of the past week. They therefore dis-
credit the claim that the walkout was IN
spired primarily by a determination on the
part of the union workmen to anticipate
such action by the packers.
