THE STRIKE.
Packers and Employees Lock Horns
on the Eight Hour Rule.
Nearly Seventeen Thousand Men Out-A
Long and Bitter Struggle Evident.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15--There is no prospect
Of an early settlement OF the packers
strike. The packing house firms come to
the relief of Armour by saying that they
are as much responsible for the stand
taken as he, and that they will stand to-
gether to the last. They claim that Ar
mour has 1900 men employed and more
arriving daily. Armour's beef-packers
were ordered out this morning. Delegate
these men, said: 1--WE have formally de-
clared war on the big pork specula-
tor. and IL will be war to the knife
and knife to the hilt.. l shall get to
Richmond now before the convention ad-
journs, and you may depend upon It that
Armours meats throughout the United
States will be an unknown quantity in less
than three months. We intend to fight an
aggressive battle, and Armour, with his mil
gated to the position of a retired, II not a
bankrupt, pork-packer: AS far as the men
are concerned, we shall take care of them.
Besides, the closing down Of he industry
here does not necessarily do away with 1t al
together. The demand is bound to be met; /;
ence this evening between Delegates Butler

wealthiest packers, on the other, the sug-

great loss financially, and the loss of life,
perhaps, beside, ELECTED from Armour
the sentiment that loss of life cut
no figure in the case; it was a
question of right or wrong, and
right was going to prevail at any cost.
Nearly seventeen Thousand men, in addi-
tion to those already out refused to go to
work this morning, in obedience to the or
der of the Executive Board of District AS
sembly No. 81, knights of Labor, Of which
Delegate Butler is Master Workman; Al
most every regularly employed workman
in the house quit, and ten sheep butchers
quit this morning. The beef and sheep
butchers made great sacrifices, in obeying,
but not man of them failed to go out.
Swift & Morris, rivals of Armour, arc
thus enabled to eclipse the latter's beef
trade, unless he can resume work at once
with non-Union men-and this Armour
is attempting to do. Pinkerton guards
have been largely increased at the yards,
and each prominent packers residence is
guarded tonight by two stalwart police
men, who refuse to allow even reporters to
set foot on the premises.

THE BIG STRIKE ENDED
By the Peremptory Order of the
knights of Labor,
And Hereafter Ten Hours VIII Be Days
Work for the Chicago Packers.

CHICAGO Oct. 1S.-The strike of the
packing house workmen was formally
ended this afternoon. The strikers held
mass-meeting on the prairie about 30 CLOCK
at which between 1900 and 14,000 men
were present. A proposition to return to
work on the 10-hour plan was carried al
most unanimously and the strike was do
clared at an end. Shortly afterward, Mr..
Barry, the Knight of Labor delegate,
waited on Mr.. Armour and said the strike
was at end and that the men would re-
turn to work tomorrow morning without
making any nditions. The packi g.
hJi SO wn RS will keep all their n W me
by rum ng the houses up to their fu
capici y expect to be able t retain in
their employ. arly oil Their. o men.
WAS about to be C He'd to order by Mr..
Barr this proposed surrender had cen
OWNED, and 1t W with the greatest diff.
Gu that the nen were sufilc entl quieted
to permit Barr, Is voica to be heard He
steppet to The front of tn s,age and took
q sheet of paper from b s pocket. The
crowd gu d 1t con ents, aud shower
of groans and Kisses followed the move
ment. Not in the least taken aback the
delegate came down upon table with
gavel in SO decisive manner as to restore
sufficient order for the hurried reading of
the order for the men to go to work at ten
hours day. A howl went up at the reading
Of the paper that could be heard for blocks.
Again, with difficulty, Mr.. Barry secured
quiet. This is the order of the Knights
of Labor. You will return to your sew
eral shops tomorrow morning, every one
Of you" This was delivered with un-
mistakable emphasis. Some cool-headed
delegates arose at this point and counseled
the men to obey. A vote was taken on
the question. The affirmative vote was
very weak, but there were no dissenting
voices. Mr.. Barry Immediately stepped
into carriage and drove down to T. ID.
Armours city office. The packer received
him courteously and listened attentively
while he related the brief story of the end
ing of the strike. Then Mr.. Barry put the
query to Mr.. Armour: "Will you dispense
with the services of your new men If the
old employees return tomorrow" MIR.
Armour emphatically declared that not
one of the new men would be sup
planted, IL they desired to remain. He
added that the beef butchers upon their
return must work ten hours or not at all.
This evening Mr.. Armour, to stand by
his oft-made assertion that the packers
could better afford a concession to the beef
men than to the pork men, instructed his
manager to give all the beef men who re-
turn to work tomorrow an advance Of so
cents per day over the old rates. Some
time after the strike had been declared at
an end, announcement was made that the
packers had adopted winter schedule Of
wages, to 60 into effect Immediately. This
is equivalent to a temporary advance of 10
per cent. The scale ordinarily does not
take effect until the middle Of November.

GOOD AND BAD BUTTER.

Rapid Approach OF tho Time When Dairy
Products viii Sell According to Quality.
The establishment of creameries has
accomplished one good, apart from
financial benefits accruing to owners
and patrons. They have made the
public better acquainted with what
good butter really is, and consumers
are becoming more exacting as to
quality. This will compel the manu-
facture of better article by farmers
and dairymen. Formerly in local mar
kets 'butter," whatever the flavor,
color or other characteristics, all sold
at the same price. Now. except in
some of the smaller towns. there
is a wide range in tho price. AT
some country stores all butter is still
bought at uniform price, sufficiently
low to allow the dealer to make the
necessary classification of ''choice
roll, ''good country" "old grease"
etc. Many butter-makers would be
surprised and mortified II they knew
how much of their product went into
the latter class. These country deal
ers dislike to offend good customers by
that made by others, as farmers wives
especially are sensitive on this subject.
The result is that those who make .
really good article object to helping
pay for inferior products, and send
their butter to market where a classi-
ticati0n is made. Thus the ''0ne-
price" butter dealer is losing his trade,
