STRIKE IS RENEWED;
SYMPATHETIC STRIKE
Alleged Violation of Agreement by the
Packinghouse Proprietors.
The Hitch is Based on a Circular Issued
by Packers to the Effect That They Were •
Not Bound to Employ Ail the Men Who
Walked Out»*Sympathetic Strike.
Chicago. 111. Jul)' -2. —The packing
house strike wax today ordered re-
newed In Chicago and all other cities
Violation of Ilie agroenivnt by the
packing house propticugnt is assigned
as ibe reason. The following telegram
was sent hf President Donnelly to
all tins of the various pack-
ing houses hi the different cities af-
fected by the strike:
"Older out all departments aga’n
Companies violated agreement.
MICHAEL DONNELLY.
President International Meat Cutters
and Butcher Workmen "
Today cattle jmichers report-
ed al the slockjards here for work.
Only half of them were given places.
Thereupon all refused to work. They
.reported in a uody at the union head
quarters. A general order for a strike
was soou fot ilff?htnjt
’ " Cause of Rupture.
‘•While the immediate provocation
lor the renewal of the stride is ap
pnrently the failure of tire packers to
take back a IMrgc proportion of the
strikers who 'reported for work today
the real cause of the rupture is In-
ferred to !»c a circular issued yester-
day by the packers. The circular pur-
ported to cyplain the public agree
inent entered intft with the labor lead-
ers. Seemingly the circular could be
taken as implying that the agreement
<}id not bind the packers to re-employ
all men who walked out. The construe-
Hpn that the labor tedders placed up
r.n the agreement was that all should
He re employed within forty-five days.
Breaking of the agreement is allege I
by President Donnelly on the part of
the packers and the ending of peace
plans on the part iff the unions canto
as a violent surprise to the public de
spite the widespread knowledge that
the men were far from satisfied wi»|i
the conditions consequent upon xlgn
ing the terms of peace.
Peace Conference.
The summary action of the strike
leaders in ordering the renwal of hos-
tilities was followed by equally vifco'-
ous efforts at restoration of peace. Asi
a result the news of the strike was I
followed within an-hour by the an
uounccment that a joint conference
of officials of Armour * Co had been
arranged to take place this aftcru; ou '
betwivn the (tacking house proprwl l

STRIKEBREAKERS D
AT KANSAS CITY. I
Kansas City. Mo.. July 22.—I’resl- I
dent Donnelly's order to packing f
house employes to renew the strike
came as a surprise to both packers i
and men. Although practically all of ;
the several thousand men who went I
out orfginall.v appeared at the differ i$
ent plants here today for work only n 1 '
limited number was taken back. Each 1
company employed only a sufficient #
number of strikers to make up a com i n
plete force. No especial promises I ( |
were made by t|te packers to those I n
not taken in and a strong .feelihg of s
resentment developed. All
wen* soon supplied and are apparently . q
running full blast Practically all ' „
strUmbreakers are retained. ~

has submitted to the British govern-
ment a certain proposition which if
accepted will serve as a basis for ad
justment. These exchanges have been
lomcwbat informal and are being de-
scribed as hints but they are suffi-
ciently clear to indicate that Russia
purposes to adjust tho question. The
outcome is now considered to he on
Great Britain's answer. It Is under-

plates the release of the Malacca but

further asserted thai the prospective

of the Malacca and not include the
