CHICAGO PORK HOUSE STRIKERS.
At Chicago up to Jan. 8 the striking
pork house employees were still maxim g
trouble A number Of collisions have occurred
within forty-eight hours, the union men being
in many cases the aggressors, The employ
ers threaten to take summary methods of pro.
tecting their workmen:a Some have built
hunks in their packing houses. It has been
rumored, but can't be stated positively, that
the strikers are ready to allow the packers
to hire union men provided the former union
employees are taken back. The packers seem
very decided in their determination not to
take back any of the strikers while they re-
manned in the union. The packers have lost
nothing on the strikers but are, on the con-
trary much better off than they would have
been had they packed heavily with the rela-
tive rates for hogs which existed before the
strike.

patches from General Hatch, written at

her. One informs the Secretary for the first
time that among the Indians. who, offered to
surrender on the 25th inst. but whose surren-
der was not received, were Douglass the hos
tiles chief, and several other principals in the
Meeker massacre. The last sentence of the
other dispatch seems to indicate that after
Gen. Hatch refused to- receive the surrender
of these Indians, they were permitted to 60 to
the lower Grande river to huntfor game and
that they are not likely to be found again for
q month. Secretary Schurz entertains con-
siderable doubt as to this being the real
meaning of the dispatch as sent, and has tele-
graphed for explicit Information. Clines
ranch is ten miles nearer than Los Pinos to
the White River agency and twenty. five miles
nearer Lake City. tits inferred Gen. Hatch
and party do not consider themselves in dan
ger scd these dispatches do not express any
apprehension Of that kind.;1
