CHICAOO. Aug. lO.-Determlned effort
re blnir msde to settle the stock yard
strike by mediation. Negotiations begun,
early today between the Retail Hutchers'
' nnd Grocers' association and representa
tive of aeveraJ labor union, which would
undoubtedly be Involved In the strike
should It be prolonged much longer, re
sulted tonight In the appointment of a
committee composed of those who sttended
today's meeting to negotiate with the
packers tomorrow morning In an attempt
to bring about a joint meeting between the
employers and the striking unions. It was
the sentiment of all who attended today's
conference that should the meeting be ar
.ganged between the two opposing Interests
.a settlement satisfactory to both aides
could be realised.
' Meantime Samuel Gompers, president of
been summoned from New York to come
to Chicago and see If he cannot accom
plish something through mediation. Mr.
Gompers will arrive here Sunday morning.
Today's meeting, with the union leaders
was called at the Instance of the Butchers'
and Grocers' association because of the
, difficulty and Inconvenience which would
tie caused the members of the association
should the strike be spread to the Ice
. wagon drivers and the meat wagon drivers'
unions.
. It was primnrlly a meeting of business
. men whose Interests are not directly af
fected by the. str'.ke and of the representa
tives of the "unions which would be drawn
Into the Issue between the packers and the
.strikers should the order declaring a boy
cott against the meat markets that are
buying directly froni the packers be en
dorsed by the teamsters' Joint council.
'" Packers Will Rot Talk.
When the packers were told of the tn-
tended visit of the Intermediary committee
.. tomorrow all of them declined to make any
comment on what,-If any, success might
bt expected from the meeting.
! "We Cannot very well discuss this mat
ter," raid one of the packers' representa
tives tonight, until we have had some offi
cial notification as to what Is expected of
u at tomorrow's meeting. We now have
our affairs In a better condition than at
. : any time since the strike was declared,, and
as for myself I am unable to see at the
present., time Just on what grounds we
could meet the strikers, as the struggle hni
reached the stage where we can get along
very well should the strikers never decide
to surrender.".1
j Under the direction of Mayor Cartor
s Harrison, who was urged to take the Step
by a committee composed of labor leader
and several aldermen, an Investigation Into
the sanitary conditions of the various
packing plants where strike breakers are
being housed was begun today.
Several of the plants were visited, but
; rtb flagrant violations of the law were
' found. ' In two of the plants the ventilation
was found to be bad and the sleeping quar
ters rather , crowded, but the employers
' promised to have these defects speedily
remedied when the defects were, pointed

Inspectors. The Investigation wll). prebably

Bis Jam at the Yards.
Despite all efforts of commission
men, today's receipts of live stock
were", so heavy . aa to astonish the
packers. There were 2S.0O0 cuttle, 23.000
hums and 16,000 sheep. With the New York
:klng plants closed by the strike, the
disposal of all the' receipts was admitted
,to bo'a difficult problem (

promised by union official. A conference
of the leaders was held and plans were
made to shut off Ice and meat from more

Tlldeax Held nMll.
There was a revival today of talk con
cerning the formation of a nw Stock yards
corporation to build a general stock yard
on the Btlckney tract on the Chicago Drain
age canal. This project I credited to
the Hateley brothers, former packers, now
engaged In board of trade operation.
They ase aald to have secure extensive
interests in the properties that were once
In the possession of President Stlckney
of the Great Western railway. In this con
nection Isaac Heltner, a cattle speculator
at the yards, who ha also conducted
slaughtering operations, ha secured two

an Independent packer. One of the plant

"Edward Tllden. I want to say, I abso
lutely and alone responsible for the. reopen
ing f the strike."
This assertion was today made by
Michael Connelly, president of the butch
ers' organisation.
v "When ." lrned the agreement to
arbitrate," he continued, "It wa understood
that it was to be a cas of give and take.
The agreement wa not what I wanted,
but it wa an agreement and I thought
that it could be e handled as to bring
results that would 'be fair to both sides;
and no honest man want anything bet
ter. Therefore, when I left' the confer
ence I felt some degree- f happiness. But
I had no sooner reached the street when
I met a 'crowd of newspaper' men, and
one of them showed me a statement writ
ten by Edward Tllden, declaring that the
packers had gained all the advantage.
"The reporters asked me about It. I wa
so ar.gry I gritted my teeth,' nodded my
head, said 'amen,' and hurried away. If
he bad kept still all would have been well.
When 1 left In y home next 'tnemlfigr pos
sessed of that feeling that comes to every
man of some Impending disaster, I told
Mr. Donnelly that I would rather lose
$1,000 than go to the office, for I knew
there would be trouble.
Ho tv Packers Broke Faith.
"I wa right. There was trouble of the
worst kind. Our men were ridiculed by
the very men we had put qur trust In. I
knew as a positive fact, and I have the
affidavits to prove It, that the superintend
ent for the packing houses had hundreds
of nonunion men In line with the union
men when the thousands came back for
work under, the peace agreement.' They
picked out ' these nonunion men. The
packer thereby broke the agreement. We
have never done so, and we are ready
now to abide the original terms."
The management of the trlkers' com
missary was 4oday placed In the hands
of Secretary William Stirling of the Butch
er' International organisation. The serv
ice, will Immediately pass through a com-J
pletd reorganization. Lack of organiza
tion and system has handicapped tho ef
forts of the strike leaders to furnish amplo
food for the strikers' families. 'The ap
pointment of Mr. Stirling to the post Is
expected to remedy this and Is looked upon
as evidence that the strikers are preparing
for a long siege. , ,
President Donnelly of the butcher or
ganization In an Interview today charged
that Edward Tllden of Llbby. McNeill &.
Ubby I absolutely and alone responsible
for-the reopening of the strike. ' In making
this statement Donnelly clenched his teeth

NEW YORK, Aug. JO. Homer D. Call, '
the national secretary of the strikers' or-'
ganizatton, said today that the officials of
the plants -in this city affected by the
strike order were Rising every mean to
Induce the men to return to work.
"I know of sixteen men," said Mr. Call,
who have - received personal solicitation
from the companies, being offered life Jobs
and bonuses; and In some cases as high
a 11,000 to return to work. ' These offers
were made to skilled men, killers par
ticularly." As a result of ap attempt of the com
pany to move beef by means of nonunion
drivers, Charles Hilton, business agent of
the drivers' and Stablemen's union, has or
dered the stablemen, cleaners and helpers
to stop work. It had been agreed that
these men should remain at work to care
for the horses owned by tho beef con
cerns, providing that nonunion men were
hot placed on the wagons. By this action
Hilton claims the companies have vio
lated the agreement. '
Secretary Weir, of the ' Schwarcschlld
Sulzberger company, today gave out a
stntert-ent In reply to the one made last
night by Secretary Call of the beef workers.'
union. ' Secretary Weir says the statement
of Secretary Call that the average wage
puld to the men employed in the packing
houses I from $5 to 9t per Week Is mis
leading as the average wages paid to
men employed by his company during tbe
month of June wa $14.
Strlke Breaker Boated.
He declared that Instead of the packers
having two men for every one man's Job,
tho company has not had enough men Iti
many departments. The business managers
of the unions, he says, have been fre
quently asked for more men and these
request In most cases have not been com
piled with. He denies that women are
employed In the packing house with the
exception of stenographer and typewriter
n the business office, h
As to the question whether there will
be a beef famine In this city, he says: "I
would positively say .'no' as our western
plants arc now producing sufficient beef
and pork products to enable us to give full
supply to all sales houses in this country
and in Europe."
Two hundred strike breakers, destined for
the plant of Bchwarsschfld & Sulzberger
were attacked by a number of beef work
ers today andv wrr completely routed.
Several of the strike breaker were badly
beaten and others, thoroughly frightened.
Jumped Into East liver from which they
were rescued with difficulty.
The beef worker were "fat" men, who
clean up after' the regular worker. They
had almost finished tbelr duties and were
about to Join thetr striking fellow work
men when the nonunion men arrived in
a lighter. They became enraged at the
coming of their successors, and quitting
work attacked them. Police reserves were
summoned, but no arrtata were made.

This statement was made by M. R. Mur

Cudahy company was prepared for a long

' Ga to County Jail.
, From thla time on all of the person
arrested by Sheriff Power will be taken
direct to the county Jail and not turned
over to the local police, as has been done
since the sheriff assumed charge of affairs
here.
No material change In the situation wa
fioted at labor headquarter. Encourag
ng reports have been reoelved from Chi
cago and those Who called af headquarters
appeared to be greatly encounaged. There
I no sign of weakness among the strikers.
Chief Brlggs Is greatly pleased with the
Tiew 9 o'clock closing order. He says with
one or two exceptions the saloons closed
promptly at the time ordered and remained
closed until 5 a. m.
"The c4osing of - the saloons," he says.
" had the effect desired by the board. Few1
people were to be found on the streets
after the saloon closed and the general
order of the city wa better than it had
been for a number of nights."
It Is understood Sheriff Power ha de
cided that it is not necessary to detail any
deputies for night duty and especially since
the saloons are closed at t o'clock. Chief
Brlggs thinks he can get along without
the assists nee of the deputies,

' No effort wa made to get In men during
the afternoon. ,' ,
Sheriff Power and the police commission
ers have secured the loan of the covered
patrol wagon from the Omaha police de
partment. The wagon has been Inatalle 1 at
Brewer's stables, almost clrectly across tha
street from the city Jull, and will be held
ready for service day and night. In speak
ing of the necessity for. a patrol wagon
Commissioner Nolan stated that frequently
special officers had been ca'led on the car
pet for not appearing when wanted at dis
turbances. In explanation the specials have
itated that they were on the way to the
city hall with a piisoner. Chief Iirlggs
and Sheriff Power are satisfied that the
patrol wagon will be of great service, and
especially where It Is desired to get a Bum
tier of officers to - the scene of a disturb

'"''" Stop One ' Disturbance.
Last night affairs at Thirty-third and Q
streets took another turn. For two nights
in succession strikers had gathered and
hooted nonunion men coming from the
Cudahy plant at quitting time. It was the
girls and women who took a' hand last
evening, leaving the men to stand back
and look on. When women strike-breaker
walked out of the Cudahy' plant they were
met by the striking women and urged not
to return to work. Argument did not seem
to do any good and finally the women
hooted and. Jeered. In this they were as
sisted by some of the men standing about.
Sheriff Power, Chief Brtrga, Captain
Shields and quite a numbor of special
were on hand with the patrol wagon, but
only one arrest for disturbing the peace
was made. Sheriff Power says he hopes
to break up this practice of men and
women congregating at Thirty-third and
Q streets In the morning and evening. A
large force of deputies will most likely be
located at thla point after this to maintain
order.
Work went on as usual at the packing
plants during the afternoon with the force1
at hand. Out of the day' receipts packer
purchased 1,130 head of cattle, 7,600 hogs
for slaughter here and 5,000 hog for ship
ment to other markets. Sheep purchase
amounted to 1.486 head. There wa a
break In the cattle and hog prices, but
sheep sold better than on Tuesday. Buyer
of feeder sheep were In evidence and pur
chased quite heavily.
Pabllo Tires of Strike.
South Omaha people are heartily tired of
the strike and tbe consequent falling off
In all line of business, to say nothing of
the continued high price of meat. The
statement is freely made by resident here
that the Independent plant will be given
substantial support In the purchase of meat
and It is reported that tome of the plants
In the vicinity of the stock yards are fig
uring on enlarging their buildings and in
creasing their output.
Packers assert that they are getting in
shape so that they will soon be in position
to take care of the by-products. The strik
ers laugh at this talk and call attention
to the report that all of the packer here
are getting cars of meat back on account
of being delivered In a couuitlon unfit for
use. With a great deal of vehemence the
packers deny that they have had any cars
returned on account of the contents having
been Improperly handled by the present
employes. The strikers say they know bet
ter and that cars are returned nearly evert'
day, the contents being fit only for tt.
tanks.
