CHI GAG o, Oct. 1.-THE situation In the packing
house district showed little change during the day
The owners of the houses havc taken the precauon to
have large number of Pnkerton guard. and
the total of the armed guards duty tonight Is
placed at 400. The presence Of these men Is irrtat
ing to the strikers and they ocnly condemn the pack
ers for taking this in advance of serious
riotmg or coercion. Beyond yelling and hooting at
the guards the day passed quietly Despite the pres
ence of the committee of the knights Of Labor the
view is held that the packers have determined TO
force the issue for tenhour working day and the. the
presence of the Pinkerton force is part OF general
plan to employ all non union who will go to work
under this form of protection. The Armour house was
enabled toeep it's pork packing branch in partial oper
alton today having 25O men at work. They have
fitted up cots that the men can eat and sleep IN the
hacking houses During the day five non-union men
were taken to the packing house III police patrol
wagon without molestation. but were jeered by the
outside crowds. There was temporary panic among
the beef-packng employees this forenoon, owing 10
the presence of the great crowd OF strikers but they
were reassured and returned to their benches
NJ J. Butler and p. T. Barry, who were delegated
BY The Richmond convention of the Knights OF Labor
TO inquire into the strike arrived at the scene OF the
trouble this morning. Mr. Butler stated that he under
stood before coming that both the beef and pork
butchers were out strike but found the former still
at work. which tended to complicate the situation
Messrs Butler Barry several prominent members
of the local assemblies of the Knights OF Labor held
secret conference In the Exchange Building to-day
The . 200 employees of Fowler * Co refused to go TO
work long enough this morning to cnt up the zoo
"green hogs which they had lett in that condition
on Saturday uight.
John Foley and Thomas T.. Randall of the Executiv
Board of District No "a. knights of Labor in COM
pany with a committee of the employees OF the Under
wood Packing Company, submitted proposition 10
that house, with tho unanimous consent OF the en-
ployes have their men return to work, pending the
settlement by arbitration. The company refused TO
accept the proposition but said they would agree 10
the same conditions as the other packers did.
The beef houses of Swift ~ Co., Nelson Morris, ana
Armour 81 Co.. are the only houses running IN the
yards The railway companies are dong niue IN the
stock wards as there hands TO load the cars.
The cars are standing on the tracks and the only
work being done is shifting
The men base their hope for aljustment of the dli-
Guilty on the consultation between the packers ana the
committee from the Richmond convention. If no
settlement is reached the will probably depend
on a relief fund to be authorized and sanctioned by
the Rights of Labor.
