MEN Packers Will Not Discriminate Af A"t. v Members of Union Scale Is , Cents Per Hour Less Than That I First Demanded by the Men. Chicago , Juno 6. Quiet rolgned la the turbulent stock yards district yesterday - torday as a result of the settlement of the meat teamsters' strike , but the happiness of the raou was marred .Bomowhat by a report that the pack ers will refuse to re-employ leaders among the striking teamsters. This Las caused much uneasiness among the men and there were muttcrings i that if those who have been active in the recent disturbances shall be forced into Idleness because of their conduct during the strike , there will ba further trouble at the stock yards. On inves tigation it was found that several workmen employed in the yards had recently been discharged. These men declare that they have been singled out because they were strong union men and strike sympathizers. Tills Is denied by the packers , but the statements of the discharged men arc being carefully investigated. The men who have been discharged are members of the Stock Yards Em ployes' union. Their organization , which "was formed less than three weeks ago and already has a member ship of over 700 , is ainiiated with the Uutchers' union. Michael Donnelly , president of the Meat Cutters' union , .has been asked to adjust the trouble. A conference for today between Mr. Donnelly and A. W. Leonard , superIntendent - Intendent of the Union Stock Yards Transit company , was arranged. Mr. Leonard will bo asked to relnstato the men who have been discharged and unless ho consents to do so , It Is said the 5,000 butchers employed In the different packing plants will bo 'Called out on strike. The teamsters are to return to work this morning. The agreement , which Is a compromise , Is a partial victory for the teamsters , in that the packers have declared that they will not dls- criminate against members of the union. The scale agreed upon Is 2 cents lower than that demanded by the men. Had the compromise agreement not been perfected , yesterday wouldhave % been a red letter day in the strike , as the packers had planned to send a wagon train of 135 loads of meat Into the heart of the city. Instead of an other day of rioting and broken heads , there were peace and the ripple of laughter as the two sides of the controversy - troversy good naturedly discussed the { rouble. -COLLIERY GUARD SHOOTS BOY. Police Have Hard Work In Protect ing Him From Enraged Mob. Wllkesbarre , Pa. , June 6. Yester day was an uneventful day In the feV- anthracite coal miners' strike and probably the quietest since the engi neers , firemen and pumpmen were called out last Monday. There were florimmages in several parts of the Wyoming valley , In which workmen who refused to desert the companies generally got the worst of it. No one , as far as is known , was seriously .hurt. The work of the miners pro ceeded and the stoning by .boys and union men is having Its effect. Each day ai fewer number of men leave their homes for the mines , fearing they may not again get homo alive. A colliery guard last night precipi tated the first serious disorder by ehootlng a boy. The police took the guard'lnto custody and had hard work In protecting him from the enraged mob which quickly gathered. It was stated at headquarters that thirty-three additional men had Joined the ranks of the strikers yes terday and that more are expected out -today. The operators are still able to fill the places of those who had de serted. Most of the companies have exhausted their force of company em ployes and aio now using nonunion men more freely. It was their policy not to enlist the services of strangers until absolutely necessary. Nonunion men from the larger cities are still coming in , most of them being brought here under cover of darkness. They are sent to the collieries during the night , because the officials do not care to arouse the anger of the men and run the risk of having the recruits at tacked. The action of the New York board of trade in requesting President Roosevelt to take up the matter of ettling the strike aroused consider able interest. President Mitchell had nothing to say when he was asked for * an explanation of the "new move. " The mining superintendents who wore Been had nothing new to add to the day's budget of news. All of them aid they were getting along fairly well. They continue to have trouble in operating their pumps , however , and In some mines the water is creepIng - Ing up slowly notwithstanding the strenuous efforts to keep It down. Rioting In Providence. Providence , R. I. , Juno 6. The atreot railway strike took a violent form last night.
