While the peace negotiations were in progress Thursday, additional prep arations were making by the packers for a long siege. The packers hearing that efforts were being made to induce railroad men not to handle supplies for packing plants where the men are on strike were busy all day putting tn great storks of coal for fear the rail- toad men might attempt to stop the supply. The proposition made by Michael J. Donnelly for the strikers which led to the conference Thursday contains the following demands: Th-.t all employees who struck shall be employed in their old positions with in three days; that the packers pay the wages prevailing prier to the strike pending arbitration; that the arbitra tion board be composed of one repre sentative of the packers, another ol the strikers, the two to select a third.
