DosToN, November i5.-A meeting of com

National Teachers Association, at Topeka,
and the American institute at Bar Harbor,
which has been in session here for the past
week, adjourned to-day to meet in Wash

aid to common schools and voted to report
fav0ring it's principles but no action was
taken as to the special features OF the Dill
In accordance with the resolutions of tue
conventions at Topeka aud Bar Harbor the
committees were so enlarged as to give each
State and Territory local representation In
the convention at Washington. The follow
ing school officials were elected to serve
or the local committees on representation
of the States and as members OF the Federal
Aid Convention, all state and Territorial
superintendents of public instruction., su
perintendents of schools in southern cities
and towns of more than 10000 inhabitants,
and school superintendents OF Northern
dents of the National Teachers Association
and American Institute, and others prolni-
nently connected with the national aid
movement. 1t is thought that second
interstate educational convention like thal
held in Louisville in 1888 may be called,
though no formal action was taken to mem
orialize Congress, other than to propose
mass convention in February. The COM

CHICAGO, November 15.-Grand Master
Workman Powderly, OF the Knights OF La
bor. has issued an order for the stockyards
strikers to return to work to-day at the old
hours until the Knights OF Labor take
definite action on the eight.hour question.
If the men refuse their charters will be
taken from them.
All opposition to Powderly's order di-
recting the striking packing house employees
to return to work seems to have vanished.
This morning the men assembled at their
respective headquarters, indicated in the
Sheriffs order yesterday, and applied for
Unemployment. The crowd was orderly
and perfectly quiet. The foremen of the
different houses selected such men as they
required at once, and the remainder de-
parted evidently satisfied that they would
be taken back as soon as the houses were in
full running shape. The number of old
MEN re-employed this morning is between
1900 and 1900. All of the strikers taken back
are compelled to sign a paper IN which
they agree not to leave their work without
giving their employers two weeks notice.
On the other hand, he packers agree not to
discharge any of their men without giving
them two weeks notice. To still 1urtner
bind the men to the agreement each Is re-
quired to deposit $50 with his employer.
This sum is to be taken gradually out OF his
wages.
At a meeting of the Packers Association
this afternoon the question OF the length OF
time il would be necessary TO keep depu-
ties and militia at the yards was discussed.
No action was taken except to decide that II
was s.ible that they should be retained
for the time at least The houses nave
filed their complement of men. The ques-
tion of requiring guarantee or forfeit was
about the only other subject brought up.
The exacting of such a condition upon re-
employment was generally approved by
those present, but the association as BODY
did not ADOPT it formally. Legal advice on
the matter will be taken. it being feared
that a form of agreement has not yet been
devised that would be binding in law.
Contrary to expectation the day at the
stock yards was more quiet than for several
weeks. All told, about ten thousand ex.
strikers made application for work. Not
over ten per cent. were given immediate
employment. The indications this evening
are of dec dedy peaceful character. Thir-
ty-five imported men at Armour's resigned
this afternoon and were furnished an es-
cort of troops to the depot. The men were
hooted on the way but t,ere was no demon
stration of violence. The strikers who have
returned to work have already begun to
m AXE it very uup easant for the new men
in quiet manner, No overt acts could be
charged but numerous little things occurr
ed this afternoon calculated to harrow up
the feelings without furnishing real pre-
text for complaint. If things remain as
quiet tomorrow, General FitsimmCns says
he will recommend that government troops
be withdrawn on Wednesday or Thursday.
