BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 25.-The Chi
cago Union Stock Yards reopened
today under an agreement between
officials of the yard and striking
handlers to permit the disposal Of
stock on hand.
It was cleanup" market, de-
signed to permit the merciful slaugh-
tering of stock shipped in on ordinary
commercial accounts. Yards officials
were confident that all of the COM
mercial stock could be cleaned up
before 8 pm.
A revised estimate placed the num-
Der of privately owned cattle at lit
tie more than 5000. The remaining
$1,000 to 10000 cattle belong to the
Federal Government, and were pur-
chased for relief purposes. In addi-
ton, there were 5000 head of hogs
and a few of sheep.
Feeding of Cattle Begun.
Striking handlers asserted they
would not interfere with the market
so long as the handling was not done
by strikebreakerS.
Meanwhile the feeding of the cattle,
most of which had received nothing
but water, was begun by non-union
feeding crews.
Reports persisted that handlers for
commission men, who have their own
union, would join the strike at the
close Of the day, but union officials
refused to comment. A walkout of
union butchers and slaughter house
employees was considered likely.
Selling proceeded at a rapid clip
throughout the morning and. due to
the light offering of commercial stock,
much progress was made in the
slaughtering of Government cattle.
The ordinary Government daily kill
it was pointed out, was around 5000
head Indications were that the
slaughter would far exceed that num-
Der.
The arrival of 78 cars Of hogs,
three cars of cattle and % cars of
sheep, all billed directly to packing
houses, added to the seriousness OF
the situation.
Only few of the cattle were fed
yesterday. although most of them re-
ceived an adequate supply of water.

Hitler Blame

SERIOUS VIEWS
HELD In EUROPE
ItalO-Cerman Pact
Pledged Security
of Austria.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The attitude of Italy toward critical
developments in Austria for several
days has been a subject of grave
concern throughout Europe. In many
quarters it was believed Italy holds
German Nazis responsible for many of
Austria's troubles.
1t was recalled that Premier Mus
solini and Chancellor Hitler of Ger
many at their recent conference at
Venice had come to an understand
ing that Austria was to be permitted
to work out its own destiny.
Whether the Nazi actions in Austria
will be construed a violation of that
agreement was question for which
there was no immediate answer.
Italian Move Awaited.
Equally pressing for the question of
what Italy may decide to do in the
light of recent developments. and
whether the italian government will
place the responsibility for Austrian
upsets on the German government.
The Italian press, in many in
stances rejecting the attitude of the
government. recently has been in
clined to hold the German govern
ment responsible for terrorism in
Austria.
It was charged that explosives
found their way to Austria from Ger
man sources and the German govern
ment seemed unable or unwilling to
exert its influence to control the pro-
tracted disorders in Austria.
Pledge Is Recalled.
'It Is no secret that Chancellor Hit
Ter promised Premier Mussolini at
Venice to leave Austria alone" said
the newspaper La Sera, at Milan
yesterday.
I'VE do not believe much time will
elapse before Germany will be held
responsible. 1t is known that Ger
many has only one friend in Europe
(Italy).
1T seems certain that German
leaders are working with the greatest
fervor to lose this sole friend"

The political situation In Austria

Chancellor Englebert Dollfuss, the

One of the main announced aim!
of the Nazis in Austria has been te

Germany, uniting the Germanlt

Two months ago. when Chancellor

TOXIC, July 25.-Although power
full influences are at work to commit
the government to policy of de-
nunciation of the Washington naval
treaty, Japan's decision on the ques-
ton will be postponed until results of
preliminary conversation in London,
to be resumed In october, are made
clear, high government spokesman
told the Associated Press today.
There has been a strenuous con-
test on this issue with Admiral Mineo
Osumi, minister of the navy, and Koki
Hirota. foreign minister, as the
principal contestants, but three
months truce has been reached.
The newspaper Nichi Nichi and
others today said the government has
decided the treaty. under which Japan
accepted a smaller tonnage than
Great Britain and the United States,
must be abrogated But the spokes-
man said this report is untrue. Premier
Keisuke Okada, 1t was understood,
supported Hirota in obtaining the
| truce.
Navy Backs Osumi.
Osumi has the powerful backing of
the navy, it was learned.
Hirota has contended that 1t will
be time enough to decide whether to
denounce the treaty after October con-
versations indicate the chances of
other powers agreeing to revision of
| treaties and conceding Japan'S essen
tial demands.
During the truce Hirota will attempt
to make the navy'S demands more in
line with possible agreements at the
| 1885 naval conference.
Claims Politics Barred.
A foreign Office spokesman said
Toxic has won the United States and
Great Britain over to her stand that
political questions be excluded from
discussion at the conference.
The spokesman said one concrete
accomplishment of last months pre-

agreement of the powers to exclude
political questions, especially those in

Skepticism Expressed.
At the foreign Office, the press liai-
son officer in charge commented:
Il regard the news as absolutely nom
sense. Some NaZis, or possibly even
some one else, apparently somehow
got hold of the Vienna radio station
and sent out the news about an al
legged Nazi putsch."
Another high official of the German
foreign office commented:
THE Austrian event simply demon
strates the correctness of our German
contention that Dollfuss cannot main
tain himself in power, that conditions
have become unbearable, that chaos
prevails in Austria, and that struggle
of all against all has been going on.
Until we have more definite news,
