STOCKYARDS i STRIKE ENDS Intervention By General Johnson Ends Chicago Market Strike • ■■ ■- Chicago, Aug. 6. — (U.R) — Fiftyfour thousand head of cattle, sheep and hogs flowed into Chicago from Middlewestern farms today as the union stockyards resumed normal operations after a 13-day strike enforced hiatus. With a “moral victory 1 ’ won 1,200 stock handlers returned to work to await arbitration of grievances by Federal District Judge Philip L. Sullivan. | Credit for ending the strike went j largely to Gen. Hugh Johnson, NRA administrator. Here to speak at the world fair, Johnson was drafted as a conciliator by the govern ! ment mediators who had struggled unsuccessfully for a week to bring stockyards officials and union leaders to common ground. Handlers employed bji the stockyards company struck July 24 with the complaint that the company had not abided by an agreement which ended a strike last November. Back wages were overdue,’ I they said, and working conditions i were unsatisfactory. Johnson called Judge Sullivan j into the dispute because it was he j w'ho arranged the November settle- j ment. Sullivan agreed to arbitrate the present dispute on the basis of his former award. The union previously had refused to accept his intervention. Commission house employes, who , struck Friday in sympathy with | the stockyards employes, returned to work automatically with their affiliaed A. F. of L. .local.
