Defeat Acknowledged by a Resolution
Adopted. ,
Chicago, Aug. 81.—A visitor to Pack-
ingtown and the stock yards would
never think that a strike was in progress
at that place Thursday. All was bustle
and confusion.
The grievance committee of the
Switchmen’s association met Thursday
morning at 10 o’clock. With but one
exception every railroad hating In its
employ members of the association had
one or more representatives representatives present. of
This meeting of the
nearly 1,200 switchmen was the most
important that has been held for result a long of
time in Chicago, as upon the
their action depended much that was of
interest not only to the railroad com¬
panies, hut the general public, and tha
thousands of workmen at the stock
yards. The switchmen resolved to
handle stock yards freight, and do

from the old switching association in
that it will be entirely Nsither under the control
of the railroads. the stock
yards corporation nor tha packers will
be permitted to have anything to do
with it. The officers of the new system
will be elected by the executive com¬
mittee of the General Railway Superin¬
tendents’ association, which will have
ahsolute control of the work.”
The men at work in the new system
will be employes not of the switching, of the dif¬
or any other association, but
ferent railroads by which they will be
assigned to duty at the stockyards.
This will do away with the ill-feeling
hitherto existing between the stock

craftsmen in the other railroad vara*. U
