''negcitiitllons between the paskers' and.
the 'strikers had been broken off. The
announcement was made after a con
ference lasting more than four hours
between the paskers and the executive
committee of the butchers union. The
meeting was at the office of Swift & Co.
The announcement was made by offi
cers of the union. The packers gave
out no statement.
Tlve strike leaders today took up the
note of the packers, a reply to which
was requested by noon,, and was in the
nature of an ultimatum. The note was
as follows:,
Note of the Packers.
'Your letter has been received and
carefully considered, and, desiring to
give you every possible opportunity to
reach a solution of the present contro
versy, we will be glad to meet you and
discuss matters further if, in your opin
ion, anything can be gained by another
interview. It is our unanimous opinion,
however, that considering the existing
conditions, a fair proposition has been
made to you and your organization in
our letter offering to arbitrate any and
all grievances that may be submitted
fpr arbitration by either side, and Is
further our opinion that we cannot re
cede from this proposition, to which we
feel we should have your definite answer,
not later than Saturday noon. July 16."
The letter was signed by J. Ogden Ar
mour, E. F. Swift. Edward Morris, J.
P. Lyman, E. A. Cudahy and Edwurd
TUden.
Warning Strikers.
The union has warned all members, in
placards printed in five languages, to
heed the Instructions given and .to re
frain from disorder, and told' them
plainly that they would not be support
ed by the organization if guilty of law
lessness. Chief of Police O'Neill has recom
mended to Mayor Harrison the revoca
tion of the license of any ..saloon .In
which a strike disturbance is' started. .
k -. Union Deserters.
If was declared around the stock
yards and at the police station that
many Pojes had thrown away their
union buttons and returned to tho
plants with, the non-union men taken
in. Of tho latter, about S00 were
marched. Into the yards under police
protection. A number were negroes,
while others were Greeks and Poles.
Sympathetic Strike Peared.
Meanwhile, with overy day which
fails in reaching a settlement the sen
timent .for a sympathetic strike, is
growing among nearly 12,000 other ein
ployecs at the stockyards. The temper
of the union men wasYefiected by Pres-
"We will die fighting before submitting-
to arbitration as proposed by tlie
packers.. Their suggeafion of arbitra
tion w'oiild mean the complete annihila
tion of trades unions in the stock
yards." Object to Police
Employees in the building trades at
the stodkyards are dissatisfied because
they arc obliged to work 'on buildings
guarded by police. The men objected
to working at any place where the po
lice have been called to preserve order
and protect property, nnd the present
conditions are dcclaced by them to be,
Intolerable. .
Precautions Against' Fixe.
Fire tngines, hose carts and jfire In
surance patrols, with.. 4i. full ojjota of
men were sent'ot the stockyards today
to Increase the fire protection. 'This ac
tion; -taken at the Instance of jthe Chl
cuo Underwriters' jwaofllaUon yf-as, aci
'
1
cepted as Indicative of fear on the' part
of the packors and insurance men that
a stage of the strike had been reached
when desperate disorder may be ex
pected, notwithstanding the strenuous
efforts of the thiion offjclala to prevent
violence. The emergency fire protec
tion Js to be continued at the stock
yards as long as the strike continups.
A disturbance was caused early today
by a crowd, which attempted to pre
vent a score or more of non-union
workmen from entering the yards. No
one was hurt, and but one arrest was j
made.
ULTIMATUM ISSUED. '
Sheriff at St. Paul Warns the Striking
Butchers.
ST. PAUL,, July 1C Sheriff Grlslm
of Dakota county this afternoon issued
an ultimatum to the striking butchers
nt South St. Paul, that unless they
show a disposition to recognize the au
thority of the Sheriff and his deputies,
the situation will be brought to the at
tention of Gov. Van Sant. and that
the State militia will be asked to take
churge. The ultimatum is the outcome
of the disregard shown today for the
Sheriff's orders and the treatment he
personalis' received in an effort to open
the cordon and send men through the I
packing plants. J
A Inter report from South St. Paul
puts a more serious aspect on the J
trouble there today, and says, It was
due to an attempt on the part of Super
intendent Burns to rush a party of
twenty men through the dense line of
pickets in front of the entrance to
the- packing plant. The effort to put
the men through came Immediately
after Sheriff Grislm's arrival from St.
Paul. A conference was held and Su
perintendent Burns collected his meu.
Headed by the Sheriff, Superintendent
Burns and Secretary Beek of the Citi
zens' association of St. Paul, the party
made for the lines.
"Line up," shouted the chief picket,
and the men formed a solid wall in
front of the party. Sheriff Grlsim par
leyed for a few minutes and, forclifg
his way into the line, took a strike

One.' of the strikers threw him to the
ground. The struggle with the pickets
broke die cordon .and distributed tho
strikers' force, when the Sheriff suc
ceeded In getting the strike-breakers
through to the gate.
The invaders, when they marched .up
to the entrance, were surrounded by
strikers and a fight began. In a mo
ment all - was confusion. Maj Tuffle
of the Minneapolis branch of the com
pany, who was with tho Invaders, was
badly Injured. Sheriff Grisim rescued

The Admiralty was unable ,to confirm
or deny cither report, hot having re
ceived any communication from Rear
Admiral YVlthoeft, but the admirals
generally were not Inclined to credit
them. If true. It would mean that Ad

An interesting traveler at the I-Cnuts-ford
is Edward V. Murphy, who Is tho
official reporter of the United States
Senate. Mr. Murphy has been here sev
eral days and Is delighted with the city
and Its suburbs but will go to San
Francisco probably today. Having been
in the Senate since 1S60 he has a fund
of anecdotes to relate about all tho
men who have helped to make history
and who have added fame to the not
able ohamber. His two brothers, as
.already told in The Tribune, have been
engaged in the same work, the first
one of the name accepting the position
as early as 184S. Mr. Murphy has an
other brothor, D. I. Murphy, who is
secretary of the Panama Canal com
mission, and both are personal friends
of Senator Kearns of this city, with
whom Mr. Murphy dined last evening.
An Interesting- Talker.
It is very fcU'ercsting to talk to a
man with such a memory for the doings
and sayings of great men. His mem
ory seems to be perfect, as It would
ui.-, iiuineu u.y iiu ia in uie wurK ui re
porting and editing the speeches made
on the floor of the , Senate. It Is not
the, ones who make the speeches, how
everr, he says, that are the best In
securing legislation and looking after
the interests of their States, because
the spoech-makors often give offense
to others, whllo thoso who are more re
served and work dlllgontly for their
State, in the end do the groatest
amount of good.
"Sonator Kearns," he said, "mindful
of tho traditions of the Senate, has
not attempted to wax hot on the floor
before he was warm In his seat. He
