New York, Dec. 1.-Two thousand
employees of slaughter houses in New
York, members of the Amalgamated
Meat Cutters and Butcher Workers
of North America, quit work today
suddenly and left wagonloads of per-
ishable beef in front of company
plants.
A report that reduction in wages
was imminent caused the walkout, in
the opinion of Leo Joseph, vice presi-
dent of one of the meat companies.
He asserted there was no foundation
for such report
The strike affected only the big
five packers.
Mr. Joseph said he did not think
the strike had any connection with
strikes in Chicago and elsewhere.
PACKERS SAY STRIKE FAILURE
Chicago, Dec. 12.-Packing house
officials of Chicago reiterated today
that the strike declared one week
ago by the Amalgamated Meat
Cutters and Butcher Workmen has
not interefered materially with their
normal operations and they also stood
firm in their refusal to meet arbitra-
tion overtures of union leaders.
The union officials were continu-
ing efforts to arrange arbitration of
the recent wage cuts and Secretary
Dennis Lane and President Cornelius
H. Hayes have both gone to Wash
ington to lay the strike and the
wage question before President
Harding and the department of la
Dor, with view of having the Presi-
dent ask the packers to meet Off
cials of the organization.
No reports of violence have been
made to the stock yards police with
in the last "a hours.
In Fort Worth, Tex, Fred Rouse,
a negrop acking house employee who
was beaten by strike sympathizers
few days ago, after he had shot and
wounded two brothers who were act
ing as pickets, was taken from hos
pital and lynched
In Kansas City, Kansas, strike
sympathizers are also said to have
called a workman to the door of his
home and fired several shots at him.

M (By Associated Pfesss)
\ ji.Chicago, Dec. IL. - Lucky
Tommy" O'Connor, gunman and killer
who was to have been led today to his
death, cell, in the Cook county jail
to await hanging Thursday morning
for the killing of Policeman Patrick
O'Neill last spring, instead was lead
ing the combined force of 5000 police
and deputies a merry chase after his
sensational escape from Jail yester-
day.
The Jail break was characterized
by Chief of Police Fitzmorris as "a
frameup between O'Connor and the
jail Officials" and the Chief ordered
his men to bring in O'Connor dead
or alive. The sheriff today suspend
ed three of the guards who were on
duty when the Jail delivery occurred
and offered a reward of $500 for the
return of O'Connor to the Jail.
Starting in the fourth floor "bull
pen," where the prisoners were eXer-
cising at II o'clock this morning, the
break for freedom led down five
floors, through the basement, into the
Jail yard and over twelve-foot wall
to street where an automobile was
confiscated. The driver, pistol
poked into his face, was told to
drive like hell"
a few minutes later the machine
crashed into a telephone pole but
the bandits continued their flight.
O'Connor commandeered another car
and when last seen the murderer,
who has been characterized by the
police as Chicago's most desperate
gunman, was headed toward the
south side underworld, armed for
battle. Two other prisoners who at
tempted to escape with the trio were
captured in the Jail grounds.
The escape, carried out in broad
daylight, was the most sensational
in this part of the country in many
years and apparently was carefully
planned in advance. 1t was success
full despite the fact that several jail
ers refused to heed the threat of
O'Connor's pistol and risked their
lives in trying to obstruct his dash
for liberty.
In investigating reports of plans
to assist the escape of O'Connor, Jail
officials say they learned that on
Saturday night mand rove an auto
mobile to the side of the Jail and
paced up and down the street for
three hours.
The most generally accepted theory
to explain O'Connor's possession of
the revolver is that, at the last min
ute, he obtained it from some other
prisoner in the bull pen, who would
be less carefully watched. The pris-
oners had just been released from
their individual cells to mingle in the
morning exercise period when the
rush for liberty was started.
The series of accidents that befell
drivers ltomobiles commander
ed by oConnor in his flight also has
