tween strike sympathizers, stock
yard workers and police patrolling
the stock yards.
Seven men are known to have been
shot and a score Of men and one wo-
man injured in the clashes. The trou,
BILE started when strike sympathizers
accosted the workmen as they left
the packing plants. Missiles were
thrown and policemen used their
clubs and guns in an effort to dis
perse the crowds. Police reserves
were called out before the >troubl
ended.
Three of those shot were reported
to be union workmen two were strike
sympathizers another was employed
in packing plant and the seventh

tors tonight. Four policemen were

who, was hurt was struck by brick.
Officials of the Amalgamated Meat
Cutters and Butcher Workmen of
North America which called the
strike after a wage decrease averag-
ing ten per cent had been in effect,
tonight agreed with spokesmen that
there was lite change in the situa-
ton.
Union officials asserted that work
ers in allied crafts in the packing
plants had walked out while the
packers said new workmen were be-
ing employed, that strikers were
asking to be reinstated and that
plants here were operating from IS
to 100 per cent normal.
1t was admitted by the packers
that their plants in other cities were
harder hit and a number of inde-
pendent plants here were either vir-
tually at a standstill or handicapped
by the walkout.
The independent plants and Swift
and Co. today requested an injunc-
ton restraining the butcher work
mems union and it's officers and Off
cials from interfering with the oper-
alton of twenty-five plants through
picketing. -
At South St. Paul 500 national
guardsmen patrolled the packing
plant today after the unions refused
to discontinue picketing.
At Fort Worth an injunction re-
straining picketing of the packing
plants was granted today while at
Omaha an opinion was rendered by
the city attorney that the anti-pick,
eting law passed by the last Nebraska
Legislature was as yet imperative.
At Kansas City strike sympathiz-
ers were restrained from picketing
plants by the threat that troops
would be calle out if the practice
continued.

FOCH TRAIN
Special Run By Seaboard From At.
lanta to WaIhington.

The special train, bearing Marshal
Foch and his party which, passed
through Abbeville this afternoon was
operated by the Seaboard free of
charge, the officials placing their
entire resources at the disposal Of
the Marshal as a mark of their ad-
nliration for the Frenchman and as
a courtesy in behalf Of the nation.
But for this courtesy it is doubtful
if the party would have come this
way.

Omitted Press) IF ireland insists
upon separation | fear all hope of

clared Lloyd George in a speech here
to-day.
DUBLIN, Aug. - (Associated
Prss).-Members OF the Irish Re-
publican Parliament met 1T the Man
son House here to DAY to consider
the situation which has developed
from the firm stand Of Prime Minis
ter Lloyd George re,ative to settle
nent of the Irish controversy. The
message from the Prime Minister ar
rived here last night, and it's intima-
ton that tho British Government
would not consider any unreasonable
delay in continuing negotiations
caused some apprehension among the
people. Leaders of :he Dali Eireann
and members of the Cabinet Of
Eamon Dc Valera appeared, however.
not to consider that ;he situation had
become any more delicate than it
had been since the exchanges began.
Commenting on the letter from Mr..
Lloyd George, the Freeman's Journal
said to-day: "ln our opinion, the
Prime Minister'S latest communica-
ton bears the construction which
Jan c. SHUTS, Premier OF the Union
OF south Africa, put upon the original
offer from the British Government"
The Irish Independent urged the
Prime Minister to readjust or modify
the conditions to which the Irish
leaders have taken exception, and
said the alternative would be a re-
newal of war ION a scale that would
appall humanity and would ultl-
mately discredit and disgrace Eng
land"

MAYORS REFUSAL TO GUST
O'MALLEY MAY BE BASIS
OF APPEAL TO GOV. MILLER
Meyer Committee Members
Are Jubilant Over Hylan's
Letter to Brown.
WHY MAYOR DECLINES.
Punishment Before Inquiry Is
Complete" Would "Shock
Instinct of Fairness"

Members of the majority of the
Meyer committee were exultant to-
day over the letter of Mayor Hylan
rejecting the request of former Sen
atot Elon r. Brown, counsel to the
removal of Market Commissioner
Edward ]. O'Malley.
A long consultation was held to-
day by the Market Commissioner and
the Mayor.
II have no intention of resigning,"
sid Commissioner O'Malley this after
noon. Il am going to stay on the Job
and fight the hackers Of the food
trust. They are trying to oust me.
l am waiting impatiently for the OPP
portunity Of going on the stand before
the Meyer Committee and telling my
story"
Commissioner O'Malley denied to-
day that he ever took Barnet Cohen
fore the conversations which are al
legged to have taken place during the
auto ride never could have occurred.
|O'Malley claims Cohen haunted his
office as he had done while DR..
Jonathan c. Day was Commissioner,
and that Day had once ordered Cohen
from his Office.
Cohen went to Mayor Hylan after
he had refused to listen to his pleas
the Commissioner said. as a result of
which, at the suggestion of the Mayor
he decided to give Cohen another
chance"
Cohen went into partnership with Il
man named Jacobs, O'Malley claims.
but the partnership did not last long.
There was row in which counter
charges were made. O'Mailey says
Cohen and Jacobs mistrusted each
other to such an extent that they de-
cided to visit the Public Markets De
partment and turn in their joint stand
privilege.
O'Malley further states that he
told Cohen he was not the kind of
merchant he wanted as holder of a
city market stand privilege. Finally,
Cohen became so persistent and an
noying in his visits to the Public
Markets Department that he was
compelled to order him away.
Accounts Commissioner Hirshfield
had before him to-day as a witness
Raymond Smith of No. 557 West
125th Street, an expert who formerly
served as an agent of the American
Live Stock Association. He declared
that majority Of the meat stall
holders in West Washington Market
are mere dummies for packing in
terests and that the combination en-
forces high prices.
1t was asserted that the Mayor by
the reply to Mr.. Brown had laid the
grounds for an appeal TO Gov. Miller
to take action of the gravest charac-
ter. According to those familiar with
the testimony which the committee
plans to take from witnesses at its
next few sessions. there is an abund-
