Another Strike in Chicago.


Chicago, Nov. Nearly 5000 men in
the slaughter houses OF Swift and Morris
quit work this morning. The trouble is
over the resumption OF the ten hour sys-
TEN, the men refusing to work the addi-
tional two hours without additional pay.
Each of the two houses employ about
1900 men. None of the other packing
houses are affected. An attempt was
made to induce the men in Armour's and
other large houses to stop. but they re
fused to 30 out.
Further particulars from the stock yards
strike are to the effect that Swift beef
killers sent a committee to him on Satur-
day and insisted on having an increase OF
80 cents a day should the firm return to
the ten hour system. This morning when
the beef butchers went to work, they found
that Foreman Wilder, of Swift's had dis
charged James Matthewson, one of the
committeeman. They also found that the
wages of the laborers had not been in
creased, so they struck.
They now insist on having MatthcwsOn
reinstated and also return to the eight
hour system. On hearing Swift men
were out, the beef butchers employed by
Morris went ont. \ crowd went down to

strikers arranged to hold a meeting dur.
ing the day. A member ofthe executive
committee told a reporter that unless the
two firms gave in, all the employees of the
yards would be called out.
Between POO and 300 men in Libby,

was that Morris establishment partly sup

special object of inducing Mr.. Gladstone
to assent to 4 radical extension of the
Leeds programme. There is small rea-
son to expect Gladstone will agree ia
make either the question Of reform in the
house Of lords or the church question a
plank in the platform. The business of
the conference as arranged, will be opcned
by Chairman Nitson, who will Introduce a
motion expressing undated confidence in
Gladstone. Morley will move that the
conference reafiirm its belief in the home
rule project and renew its declarations
upon the questions Of land, Il local GOV

The IdH null Gr.ctie declares that
the Liberal party has become merely an
association of men, saying, Ditto" to
Gladstone, and that the docadencc of
Gladstone is watched with dismay by his
followers, some ofwhom lock forward to
the Tories remaining in power for the next
ten years.
A section of the delegates intend to
urge the conference to consider n propos-
al to reconcile the Unionists, by affirming
that every act or order of the Irish par
Lament interfering with the powers of the
Imperial parliament or contrary to existing
imperial acts, will be held void and inop-

The cabinet, at its first council since re-

British ambassador at Constantinoplc, TO
insist upon an immediate conference ut
Constantinoplc to consider the Bulgarian
