Sioux City strikers and it is predicted
that emissaries will be sent today to
Omaha and Kansas City in an effort
to stir up sympathetic action in those
cities. More thorough picketing of the
entire stock yards district is to be un-
dertaken. .l..a-2a ...- " ,..,s.. '- .
The peace conference between the
strikers and managers Of the plants
was in progress at noon today. It. was

for settlement.
NJ. R. Murphy, of . Omaha, general
manager of the Cudahy Packing Com
pany plants, made the statement today
that the Cudahy and Armour packing
companies will Immediately advance
the wages of all employees eight per
cent. This is much less than the in
crease asked for by the strikers
1t was announced some time ago
that the companies intended such an
advance about May 1. The strikers
asked cents an hour for laborers and
much larger increase for others.

Most Bloody Assau1t
Of War Predicted as
Due Near, Verd,4,,

Paris, Feb. 26.-"Serious but not
disquietins," is the common phrase
used today in official circles, rs.
sarding the progress Of the Ger.
mans against verdun.
Unaffected by the snowstorm the
Germa rs hammered away all day
Friday at the French line, which
unhroken At the end Of the sixth
day Of battle, was again rsetified
az measure Of prudence, the left
wing being drawn in to Champ
Melville, and the right wing being
brought back a little south Of
ornes. The now front, barely three
miles in length, extends along the
heights offering every advantage
for defense and forming q most
formidahIs defense for vsrdun.
Il is in this narrow space that
the crown prince is hurting masses.
Military observers express the be-
lief that the counter offensive will
be launched from this line at a
precise and decisive moment, and
that will drive back across the
ground, already covered with the
dead bodies Of their comrades, the
Germans in this assault, in the
most bloody assault yst.seen.
"The work up there 10 hot" said
an officer just arrived from vsr-
dun. "They are gnawins at our
lines q little faster but with no
positive advantage for themselves.
Previous attacks made BY the Gsr-
mans are nothing to what they are
now delivering. can cay that we
are holding we'll against their
formidable attacks. The artillery
exchanges are intense. Our bat
tories, admirably handled, have
changed ground il mastsrly style,
and the losses to- the enemy are
really fabulous. Ours are slight,
feeble percentage Of thsirs."
