AN IDLE AR MY.
Fourteen thousand Men on a strike at
ChicasO-rhey Will Work Eight Hours
Per day and No More.

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.
In obedience to an order issued this after
noon by the executive committee of the
knights of Labor, IA 900 men employed in
the large packing houses of Fowler Bros.
John Cudahy, the International Packing
Company and nearly all OF Armour's men
left work at about o'clock. 1t is estimated
that the order indirectly affects 5000 or 5000
more. 1t is not exactly known what policy
the packers will now pursue, but it is under
stood that they will at once advertise tor
men to take the place of the strikers. The
demand made on behalf of the men. it is un-
derstood, was that eight hours should consti-
tute days work, the men agreeing to ac-
cept 10 per cent reduction in their present
wages.
CHICAGO, Nov. 7.
There was no disturbance worthy of men,
tion in the stock yards today. Armour & Co
report 800 cattle slaughtered in their estab-
lishment. 1t is now known that the strikers
committee formally presented their demands
to the packers yesterday. They asked for
the S-hour system. and a scale of wages
slightly less than the one in force for ten
hours. The packers refused to entertain the
proposition and a strike was ordered The
strikers sent committees around today to in
duce men still at work to quit. In many in.
stances, especially with firemen and engi
neers, the attempt was successful. A number
of the packers held conference in Armour's
office today, but they declined to talk about
the proceedings.
P. d. Armour declared emphatically to-.
night that he would start up in all depart
ments tomorrow morning at any hazard. He
would meet the strikers determinedly from
the very outset. and he intended to bring the
matter to settlement in the shortest possi-
BILE space Of time.

One Hundred and Twenty ninth street.
They were not in search of Refreshments,

men accustomed to firearms required ::
wages $50 month; passage paid So

Senior Cleo, the bartender said, was n

Paul tBOytOn 10 hire 1000 me1 for
work on a railroad in Central America,
for which he had recently concluded
contra:t, and the agent was not in, but
would return in q half hour. They wait
ed for four or five hours, when the bar
tender said that Gle, had possibly thought
il better to wait until to-day in order that
the hiring might be legal. Upon hearing
this the employment seekers left some of
vertisemSnt was fraud like that Ut the
Bowery beer seller who called for fifty
men with a Gel ital of ) cents each to un-
load schooners
A friend OF Captain BOyton talked freely
upon the subject to a reporter. "Boyton
really vans the one thousand men," said
he, "and is prepared to make good the
liberal pay promised. He returned from
the Southwest Friday night. He intended
taking the men back with him, bat was
suddenly recalled to Mexico by telegram
last night, and left the business in the
hands of Senior Cleo"
"But the advertisement says Central
America. Is Boyton's work in Mexico?"
ooh, that's only blind" he replied
''the business is in Mexico. In fact, the
only raihoading will be done tn the way
down. BOytOn has passes for 900 men
ready, and Cleo has the money to advance
SD TO each man enlisted. What he
wants are fighters. The men are to form a
regiment under BOytOn's command in Gut
ting's army of invasion. The money is pro-
yided by leading men in the northern states
OF Mexico recently in rebellion ~ inst
President Diaz' government. and the pro-
ject is to establish an independent republic
OF these states Just south of the Rio Grande.
This cannot be done without: fighting and
having high idea of the quality of Amer
leans in this respect, the rebel leaders have
decided to enlist a strong mercenary
force. Both Cutting and Boyton expect
to make immense fortunes out OF this
scheme in the event of success, as they
have been promised large land grants and
mining and railroad concessions. The
American fighters brought into the coun-
try will be coloDized on these lands after
the war is settled The progress of move

Rodecker and O'Neil, brakemen ON
Conductor Gafney S train, were SO
happy over receiving their pay yester-
day that they bowled up to an extent
rather beyond what a careful dis
charge of their duties would warrant.
By the time they reached the yards,
to go out on their run, they were in a
condition which caused every caboose
to look alike. Mounting the wrong
one they were unable to unlock the
doors with their keys and proceeded
to break it open. Finding it empty
and liking the breaking business they
proceeded to demolish several of the
windows. At this juncture the con.
ductor to whose train the caboose be-
longed put in an appearance and a
protest simultaneously and with the
aid of Officer Rutledge marched the
bellicose breakers to The lookup. In
the meantime Conductor Gaffney had
started with his train and desiring to
stop at the depot discovered he had
no brakemen. The engineer signaled
vigorously for brakes but Gsffney was
unable to stop his train until he had
passed the depot making it necessary
to back up again. New brakemen
were secured and the train went on.
