A Correction,

To the Editor of the Press:
There is, in communication in your issue
of Thursday, signed 'Querist, an implied cen
sure against the managers of the Old Ladies
Home for not allowing an interment in
their lot In the first place they have no
right to allow it, and secondly it would not
do to establish such a precedent. If allowed
in one instance it would not be practicable
to discriminate against similar applications
on behalf of others equally unfortunate and
equally respectable. The lot would have to
be enlarged and name changed.

THE LABOR QUESTION:
Another Blatant Anarchist Arrested
In Chicago.
Boston Carpenters Vote to Return
to Work.

CHICAGO, May 20-John A. Henry, who is
employed on morning paper as sompos-
itor, and whose incendiary utterances since
the arrest of Spies and other Anarchists
have given him an unenviable reputation,
was arrested yesterday while engaged in dis
tributing call for demonstration which it
was intended should take place on the lake
front on Sunday afternoon next. The call
declared private capital a deprivation of the
people, denounced the police, the courts and
the press for pursuing the Anarchists, and
concluded with the assertion: Anarchy is
not violence; it is only the promise OF
peace" Henry was somewhat extensively
attired in a dark suit and silk hat and his
hands were eneased in dressed kid gloves.
When taken to the Central station he was
very demonstratiye and endeavored to con-
vince Lieutenant Shea that the Haymarket
attack on the police was justiiable. "There
will be more bombs THROWN, ne coolly ex-
claimed. ''This thing is not ended by any
means. The present laws are damnapie.
An examination of Henry disclosed the fact
that he not only believed in anarchy, but
also advocates free love in its most repulslye
and unnatural forms. He was consigned TO
a cell, and the proposed demonstration. IL
attempted, will be promptly suppressed.
The Pork Packers Must Return to
the Ten Hour System.
Mr.. P. d. Armour said last evening: Eve

There will be no strike, nor is it a lockout.
1t is not bluff, but simple business decla-
ration. We cannot run at all unless at the
old hours and prices, and do MT intend to
make any fuss about it. The packers have
come to this agreement" When this state
ment was made to Vice President McElli-
QUOT of the trades assembly, he simply re-
marked, ''That's just what feared" Mr..
McElliquott is one of the committee which
organized the packers and waited on the
employers to obtain their answer on the
proposition in the first place. 81 have been
to three delegate meetings in the stock yards
this week. he continued, "and l will be
only fair to the men when l say that they
have been expecting this movement all
along. The hot-headed ones wanted to
strike for their demand, but wise counsel
prevailed, and after three nights discussion
the men have decided to offer to work eight
next for eight hours pay rather than go
back to the old system. | fear that the
packers will not accept even those. terms.
1t makes me fearful for the eight hour
movement. With the $4,000 packers put
back, the lumber showers whipped and the
molders discounted, it looks blue to me.
