P?OIEfiS SME MAY BE SETTLED The State Board of Arbitration Of? fers to Mediate. Chicago, Jury 12.-As the result of a stubborn. disagreement, chiefly, over, wages for unskilled labor, one of the most extensive strikes in the history of the meat packing industry of the United State? began today in Chica? go, Kansas Cisy, Omaha, St. Johepb, Mo, and other cit?is where large pack . ing plants are located If prolonged .the strike is expected to cause wide- \ spread inconvenience, possibly equal ling the anthracite coal famine of two years ago. The unanimity of the strike was . complete. More than 45,000 employees are directly involved. ?n Chicago alone 18,000 men are on strike The effector the strike upon the food supply of tiie country and the prices of meats r?s being earnestly discussed, not - with standing the i announcement tonight that the pack? ing houses, contrary to somewhat gen? eral expectation, will continue opera? tions without any close-down, employ? ing whatever help may be obtainable. How much alleviation in the furnish? ing of supplies to the public this, course may afford is a matter of wide variation of opinion. The packers declare that hundreds of men who could not be provided with places have been applying daily for work. The walk out here was started by the employees'of the killing depart? ments at tiie various packing depart? ments as fast as the current work left hy the slaughterers could be cleaned up. Thus as the workers in each, de? partment disposed oPtheir part of the work tiley threw off their aprons and .t departed. This consideraion was shown the packers, the labor officials announced, because it was not the - ; desire of the men to* cause the em? ployees any financial loss as a result of neglecting meat that was on hand to^be dressed.. Watched -by cordons of police the strikers filed briskly ont of the pack? ing houses, carrying overalls, rubber boots and knives, cleavers and steels., The strikers were greeted by crowds of women and children, many of whom joined hands with the workmen on the outward march. . Whatever the future may have in store in the way of riots, there was today absolutely no sign of disorder. President Michael Donnelly, of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and 1 Butcher Workmen of North Anrerica, the leader of the strikers, said in a conversation this evening that he be? lieved the strikers would have little difficulty in withstanding a siegfe of more than a year, with the'strike funds the unions have on hand. Chicago, July 13.-Arbitration of the grievances which precipitated the general strike in the meat packing houses in ; various parts of the country appears tonight to be in sight and a conference between employers and strikers will be held tomorrow morn? ing. - The initial step toward a settlement of the controversy by meditation was taken late this evening hythe State board of arbitration. When the members of the board reached Chicago they at once went into conference with Michael J. Don? nelly, the leader of the strike, and then talked with the representatives of the packers. As a result of these conferences Mr. Donnelly sent a com? munication to the packers in which it was stated that the vicious were will? ing to accept a settlement through a board of arbitration. After much telephoning with both partis, a meet? ing, was arranged and agreed to for to? morrow forenoon. Mr. Donnelly declared tonight that the arbitration offer of the packers had hot reacned him before the strike was called. Both sides seem to be conciliatory and an early settlement seems likely. Chicago, July 14.- A satisfactory settlement of the great packers strike is almost in sight. Arrangements are in progress for all points oz differ? ence, to be submitted tc arbitration, and it is believed that the strike will end within a short time. Chicago, July 14.-The strike which has demoralized the packing industry throughout the country has not yet been settled, but there are indications that it will soon be ended by the ad? justment of the difficulties by arbitra? tion. Affter a conference which lasted all of the afternoon between representa? tives of the packers and officers of the unions, the employers tonight are baiting for an answer to a counter proposal which they submitted to Michael Donnelly in reply to a state? ment of tbe terms on which he would be willing to make a settlement. Mr. Donnelly tonight said that the coun? ter proposal of the packers would be rejected and that he would in turn present a counter proposal tomorrow. "The hitch in the negotiations is over the reinstatement of the strikers. The union demands that every man who went on strike shall be given his old position before an agreement to arbitrate will be considered. The packers declare that they will retain the men they have employed since the strike began and will take back the old men in. the order in which they file applications for their former posi? tions. While the peace negotiations were in progress today additional pre? parations were being made by the packers for a long siege. The packers hearing that efforts were making to in? duce railroad men, who are members of unions, to refuse to handle supplies for packing plants where the men are on strike, were busy all day patting in great stocks of coal for fear the rail? road men might attempt to stop the supply. Sioting commenced in the stock yards tonight and Alfonse Andrulis was shot in the left shoulder by the police. He is not fatally injured. The incidents leading up to the shooting of Andrulis began when a party of strikers met a detachment of police in Paulina street near the stock yards. One of the crowd hurled a stone at the officers. He was arrested. The police started toward the station with their prisoner and his companion attacked them with stones. Several volleys of stones had been thrown before the police drew revolvers and fired several shots at the crowd. An? drulis fe?l with a bullet through his bculder. His compas?-ns fled. A nd ralis and tbs man first arrested were taken to the police station which in a few minutes washer rounded by a crowd of several hundred men, wo? men and boys. The temper of toe crowd was ugly, and for a time it looked as though t}>ey would attempt to storm the star io t. Calls were sent for reinforcements and in a short time several patrol wagons filled with policemen from other stations arrived. The crowd refused to give way and the reinforcements were compelled to fight their way to the station doors. A line of officers was at once drawn np in front pf the station and after a short time the crowd' dispersed. Another fight occurred at Marshfield avenue and Forty-fifth street, where a mob attacked a squad of policemen i with bricks. Several officers were in? jured slightly, and they were compel?- j ed to use clubs to dispeise the crowd. Severa! other fights occurred tonight but no one was severely ?art. > < ' : j Chicago, July 15.-The effort to bring about a settlement of the pack- j ers strike by arbitration was renewed today but no progress has been made. Prices on meat products are extreme? ly high already and steadily ad vanc ing. The packers and dealers who. have stocks on hand are making high profits, and it is suspected that the packers are not anxious to have the strike end at. once. The output of the packing houses has been reduced to 25 per cent of the usual quantity. Actress Marries Critic. New York? vJuly 14.-Tbe friends and admirers of Miss Elizabeth Tyree are wondering if she will relire from the stage as a consequence of her mar? ring to James Metcalf, which took place in this city today. Miss Tyree declines to say whether or not she will retire from the stage, but her inti? mate friends predict with no little regret that the public will have no further opportunity to witness Miss Tyree's charm as an actress. - Miss Tyree's last stage work was zs the star in "Tit for Tat," at the Sarvoy theatre recently, in which she scored an artistic success. She played the leading feminine role in "The Earl of Pawtucket" last season, and also scored in "Vivian's Papas." She is a native of Virginia and has been on the stage about five years. Mr. Metcalf has for a number of years been prominent in literary cir? cles. He is the editor of Life, and was also at one time the managing editor of the Cosmopolitan magazine.

' * Paris, tTuly 14 -Today, the one hundred and fifteenth anniversary of the fall of the Bastile, was celebrated .as usual as a national holiday, corres? ponding with the American 4th of July. The government; municipal and many private buildings were bril? liantly decorated. It was unquestion? ably one of the gayest Fourteenths of July seen for years. The Stars and Stripes and British flflags were excep? tionally numerous in the decorations. The main feature of the day was the review of the garrison of Paris. The troops assembled at Longchamps at an early hour. President Lo#bet, while driving to the race course to witness the review, was cheered air along the route. In the Presidential tribune 'with him were the members of the cabinet and the Ambassadors, conspic? uous arnon* the latter being General Horace Porter the United States Ambassador. The review ended with the usual distribution of decorations. The charge was executed by six regi? ments of cavalry, which drew up in fine style about fifty yards from the Presidential stand. This evening the city presents an animated and brilliant spectacle, open air dancing pyrotecnic displays, and a general illumination being the principal features. ?
