CHICAGO. Nov. 1.-THE strike at the
stock yards is at an end. Late this after
noon Mr.. Barry, who has been on the
ground ever since the strike was inaugur-
ated. and who all day has been in consu ta-
ton with Mr.. Carleton. of. Boston, of the
general executive board of the Knights of
Labor announced that the order sending
the men back to work will be issued. The
men will go back on the packers terms,
viz: Ten hours per day. What proportion
of the strikers will find employment is
rather doubtful. At the end of the last
strike the packers announced that none of
the new men would be discharged to make
room for those who left them. and that they
were anxious to give the new hands reIma-
nent employment. But soon after the
strike was over the new men left in droves,
the explanation beng given that the old
men would make it so unpleasant for them
that they could not stay in Packingtown.
All the bOardinghOuses there virtually
bOycotted the newcomers. Whether this
experience will be repeated now or not is
the question. The packers further state
that they have made every arrans cement to
prevent it. All the boardinghouses that
have been started for the new men by the
announced that the packers will require Of
every man in their employ a written
guaranty that he will give the firm three or
four days notice before leaving and a
money deposit will be required from every
employe to cover his guaranty. This rule
will apply to the men now at work as well
to those engaged in the future.
Later-The report telegraphed from here
early this evening that the strike was ended
was based upon direct information from
the packers. Atop. m. information was
received from the same source that the re-
port proves to be
WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
Mr.. j. c. Hately, member of the exec
utiye committee Of the Packers association.
says the statement that the strike had been
declared off by the Knights was mistake.
He does not undertake to explain how the
mistake was made, and can only say that
shortly before 6 p. IN. the packers were in
receipt of information which, though not
official, was considered by them to
be reliable. Messrs. Barry and Carle
ton, members of the Knights of Labor,
general executive committee. denied to re-
porters shortly after 6 o'clock that there
had been any change whatever in the status
of the strike. Before entering the hall at s
p. m., Barry and Carleton were seen and
questioned concerning the reported collapse
OF the strike. They denied emphaticallv
that there was any truth whatever in the
statement. Mr.. Carleton, who arrived this
morning as representative of Mr.. Pow
derly to investigate the situation, said that
so far from the strikers having surrendered,
they were
FULL OF ENTHUSIASM,
and confident of ultimate victory So far
as he had been able to ascertain to-day,
there was little or no probability of 5he
strike ending until the men had won their
point, namely, that the packers cOncede a
technical recognition of the principle of
eight hours work for eight hours pay. or
at least allow the matter to be arbitrated.
The statement that hlr. Powderly had wired
Mr.. Carleton to order the strike off was
lie ON its face. Mr.. Carleton had only ar
rived in Chicago this morning. and it was
absurd TO suppose that he would be per-
empt0riIy commanded to end the strike
without being gwen any time to fulfill the
mission which brought him here. The news
concerning Mr.. Powderly's alleged telegram
had been received III Chicago over specula-
tors private wires, and both Mr. Carleton
and Mr.. Barry declared without reserve the
belief that the report saying the strike was
off had been given out solely for stock job
bing purposes.
WHAT PowDERLY SAYS.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 11.-Mr. Pow
dery this evening again declined to be in
terviewed on the Chicago strike. He said
that Messrs. Carleton and Barry had full
charge of the affairs in Chicago OH behalf
of the general executive board. and in view
of their better knowledge of the situation
he did not care to discuss any branch of
the subject with the meager information he
had at hand. He would neither deny nor
admit that he had sent an order to Chicago
directing the men to return to work on the
ten hour basis.
AT ALBANY.
ALBANY, n. Y, Nov 11.-Twenty-six
carloads of cattle on the hoof for dressed
beef houses were received to-day The
firm of Swift & Co. has secured Anable's
hog abbattoir, and has non union butchers
slaughtering cattle there. Some of the
stock received was driven to Cohoes where
another non union house is in operation.
Thirty carloads of dressed beef from Chi
cago reached here this morning. twenty of
which were for Hammond 81 Co. and ten
for Armour.
The Coke Men.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 11.-President
Costello, of the Miners Amalgamated asso-
citation. left for the Connellsville coke re-
gions last night to use his influence in
sverting a quarrel between the operators
and the men. A demand has been formu-
lated by the local executive board of the as
