F ROBESONIAN Y 1 1 r ESTABLISHED 1870. Country, God and Truth. SINGLE COPIES 6 CENTS. LUMBERTON, NORTH CAROLINA. TUESDAY. JULY 19, 1004 VOL. XXXV, NO. 43. WHOLE NO. 1P40 THE PACKERS' STRIKE Arbitration Has Not Yet Been Decided Upon. Boft Sides fist I Peicital Settlement Bit ire DlrldJdisto tfailrbltritlo Proposition Terms' ol BoU Sides Chicago, July 15. Negotiations for peace in tbe stock yards strike are practically at a standstill and the strike will oontinue until one side or the other abates something of the demands made up to the present time. Both sides are anx ious for a peaceable settlement, but the stumbling block to a fins adjustment is that neither side in prepared to allow tbe other to dictate the basis of arbitration. The packers have oensidered Mr. Donnelly's reply to their pro position, bat it proved unsatisfao tory and the union officials weie notified that" it would be impos sible to reach an agreement along tbe lines suggested by Mr. Don nelly. In their answer to Mr, Dnonellv. the packers declared themselves willing to arbitrate, but stipulated that the arbitration should include the entire scope of the strike and not be subject to restrictions or limitations of any kind. This communication of the packers was identioal with the one Bent by M. Donnelly, notifying him that they would ready for his answer Saturday, and'that if he desired another conference with them, they would be pleased to meet him in another effort to reach a basis of arbitration. No arrangements hare as yet been made for another conference, but the reply of the unions to the last note of tbe packers will be sent Saturday morning after which Mr. Donnelly will leave for St. Louis, where be will address a mass meet ing of strikers on Sunday after noon. Mr. Dsnnelly's last propostiion toatbe suckers was as follows: "All grievances to be submitted to arbitration ; all strikers to be reinstated in a body ; men employ ed by tbe packers since the strike may be retained if use can be found for them ; the temporary wage scale to be that in effect pre vious to May 2d. This means that unskilledd labor is to be paid, ending the decision of the arbi trators, 18 1-2 cents insated of 15 to 17 1-2 cents, the price paid Bince May 28." The following is the reply of the packers to the propo istion of Mr. Donnelly : "All grievances to be submitted to arbitration ; the strikers to be re-employed as rapidly as places can be found for them ; preference to be given the strikers in the or der of their applications for work ; all men nowjat work to be retain, ed. and the temporary wages to be in accordance witb the schedule in effect at tbe time of the strike." The allied trades unions at the stock yards are becoming restless and unless a settlement is reached in the near future, they may de cide to stop work in sympathy with tile men already out. The members of the allied crafts to the yards in this city number between 14,000 and 15,000, and a majority of them belong to the union. A mass meeting of these men will be held tomorrow night, when the question of their quitting work will be discussed. The work in tbe packing plants in this city was continued today on a muoh larger scale than at any time s since the strike has been declared. Many new men have been employed, among them, it is said are many skilled work men, and the packers declare they are doing better than they'expected they would be able to do at the time the old employes quit work. Chicago, July, 16. All ohanoes of peace in tbe packers strike has vanished, for the time being, at 'least. The end of the negotiations came late today after conference whioh had lasted nearly all after noon between the officials of the strikers and a number of packers. The final break resulted when the union officialsi nsisted that all the men who had gone out on strike , be taken back and given thif old places. The packers de clared that this would necessitate tbe discharge of all the men they had emuloved since tbe coinrosnos merit of the strike, aud that they could not. and would not, consider it The ounfervuoe than broke up and the strike will oontinue Chicago. July 17 There was little if any change in tbe situa tion in tbe meat packers' strike hwe here today. With Micbael Don nellr. the strike leader, iu Ht. Louis looking after that end of tbe difficulty, there wa no effort here todav to renew the iwace ne gotiations, which lasted through Hi iv iUvi Uat week and were terminated last night without re suit.
