remained deadlocked today after
a conference yesterday at Tacoma,
at which union representatives re
jected a proposed strike settle
ment. Four large packing plants here
and one at Tacoma are closed,
with G00 men and women out of
work, although some of the strik
ers have been placed in small pack
ing plants in and around Seattle.
"The union rejected an offer of
a 7i cent blanket wage Increase,"
Alfred H. Jussett, International or
ganizer of the union said, "because
it did not apply to outside work
ers such as stockyard men and cat
tle feeders, and It was not retroac
tive to October 1, when an old
agreement- expired."
The central labor council last
night placed the Carstens, Frye
