otherwise obtained. 1t was false that he
WAS IA the way of an amicable adjust

with other packers he had made
revolt against what he was
justified In believing an imposition on the
part OF the men. Were the eight hour
system adopted throughout the country

and be had no doubt that the Chicago
packers would then accept the situation
Mr. Armour said Mr. AlleTton was chair
man OF the committee that engaged the
Pinkerton men, and was there TO explain
his action. Mr.. AllertOn then said
that the Plnkertons were engaged
because they had no sheriff or governor
who could be depended upon in case OF

there was no danger Of an outbreak This
