The Government mediators, headed by Frank E. Walsh, met with representatives of Armour & Co. Gov. Luther Youngdahl of Min nesota sat in on the conference, but union officials were not included. A meeting between union and Swift & Co. negotiators broke up last night when the union turned down the company’s settlement pro posal. Hopes for a quick settlement dimmed when no date for resump tion of the Swift talks was set. Offered Three Conditions. The conferences were resumed yesterday after more than two weeks during which no peace moves oc curred in the strike. Swift & Co. last night offered three conditions as a basis for settling • the Nation-wide strike which began March 16. The union president, Ralph Hel stein, objected specifically to a Swift proposal which he said would let the companies discharge any striking employe. He said there is "no point talking about any of the rest” of the Swift suggestions—one of them an offer of a 9-cent hourly wage increase effective last May 3. AFL Accepted Offer, AFL and independent meat work ers accepted the 9 cents offer and did not strike. The CIO union has held out for 29 cents. The present scale paid two-thirds of the 100,000 CIO workers is $1.10 an hour or less. In Iowa, meanwhile, two CIO local unions voted to end their strike with agreements including 9-cent hourly wage increases. In Floyd County, Iowa, a mob threw rocks and bottles at two homes of workers at a strike bound Decker Co. packinghouse in nearby Mason City. In Chicago, Swift asked that the union order striking employes back to work, that it accept the 9-cen't offer, and that “employes who were discharged for unlawful acts have the right to process their grievances in accordance with provisions of the existing contract.” Mr. Helstein did not comment on the 9-cent offer or the back-to-work order suggestions. But he flatly re jected the “discharge clause.” Clause Called “Vindictive. He said he thought the packers “want to Are all the ofilcers of the union.’* Such a clause is not need ed, he said, because “it is already in our contract.” He called it “vin dictive and callous.” Gov. Youngdahl came here yes terday to seek ending of the strike. Recent disorders at strike bound packing plants in Minnesota caused him to call out the National Guard last week to patrol three areas in his state. Violence also has occurred in Kansas City, Chicago and in Iowa. UPWA-CIO locals at Port Dodge and Estherville, Iowa, plants last night voted to accept a Tobin Pack ing Co. offer and to end their strike. The agreement includes a 9-cent increase retroactive to January 12, a one-year contract, and a one-week cash bonus to all returning workers. Prior wage rates averaged $1.02 an hour for men and 91 Vi cents for women. The Mayor of Quilpue, Chile, has denounced the sale of liquor in political clubs.
