The stOckYard Strike

CHICAGO. November 12.-One small
riot, promp ly nIppei in the bud, wa:
all that occurred at the stock yards to.
day 70 relieve the monotony of the
strike. A hundred or so of the strikers
attempted TO tear in pieces the outfit OF
a recently engaged employee of Armour
& Co., who was moving to a new place
of residence. Some of the sheriff S
deputies interfered before much dam
age was done, but the mob remained in
/ the vicinity for some time, and at
last accounts the unfortunate EN-.
ploye was still under the pro-
lection of the sheriffs guards.
There is a large increase IN the numOer
of men 81 work, and il would seem that
| in a few days the houses would have
full gangs at work. One packer, on
looking over the crowd of a thousand
OF more. remarked that the material
was none OF the best. and would need
considerable wedding out before il
would be very serviceable. There is 3
crowd Of colored people among the i'm
ported men. A committee, consisting
OF Messrs. Barry. Carleton, Marshall
and Schiling. was in session all morn
ing at the fremont House. Num-
erous visitors we're ushered up stairs
TO the room in which the committee
sat. but no amount of inquiry cc3ld
elicit any information. A new feature
OF the strike IS the 5oycOtting OF Ar
mour's meat by District Assemblies 81
and %. knights of Labor. A local boy
colt has been placed on Underwood &
Co.
Tonight many people ara Of the cp'n-
=. - - - a
settled before Monday. The suppose
-tion Is that Armour knows more about
the probabilities and possibilities OF q
settlement than any one. BE TO day
decided not to take any more men until
Monday, and it IS this fact that gives
color TO the belief that the matter will
be settled before that day. Many ru-
mors as TO q settleme. I were in ciccula-
ton. but none that could be
confirmed. One report was that the
proprietors OF two smaller establish
ments had agreed 70 Withdraw from tia
Packers Association, and BY taking
their pick of most of the skillful former
employees of Armour, Fowler and
other lea ling packers, attempt TO get
prestige on that score as well as by
starting 10 as Knights o. Labor houses.
The strikers leaders received and sent
many kilograms during the day and
evening, but absolutely declined 10 say
g word as TO whether or not the condi-
ton OF affairs had been altered. In the
afternoon Mr.. Carleton, accompanied
by Barry and the strikers executive
committee, left their headquarters os-
tensioly 70 call az the down office OF
the packers. The packers deny that
any such call was made.
Late tonight, MeSsrs. Barry and
Carleton said that they had been work
ing on q certain line, the import OF
which they were not at liberty to e1-
plain. Carleton admitted that be had
an engagement to meet member OF the
Packers Association, 10 morrow, but
said he had an idea that the meeting
would be fruitless, and that the packers
merely wished 70 show that the employ
ers' original plan had not been changed.
MeSsrs. Barry and Carleton denied
that they had been in conference
with any of the packers, and
intimated that their secret departure
from the stock yards was merely ruse
TO rid themselves OF the swarm OF re-
porters. The opinion is general among
well-posted strikers that important in
structions have been received from
Powderly, and that the leaders are en-
gagged in shaping their policy to accord
with the ideas of the General Master
Workman.
