A Direct Thrust at Armour d &c
CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-The situation at the
stockyards was further complicated this
morning by the refusal Of 1900 beef and
sheep butchers employed by Armour to go
to work. Knight of Labor Barry, sent
here from Richmond to try and effect q
settlement, says be is satisfied he can do
no good here, as the packers will not treat
with him as en- association, and he will
leave for Richmond Immediately to lay
the case before the knights Convention.
The order of the beef and sheep killers to
strike this morning was confined to the
Armour establishment. The beef depart
ments OF other houses are running as
uaual. This is taken as an indication that
the fight by the Knights is being directed
solely against Armour, and the latter states
IL as his view that the General Assembly
Of the Knights Of Labor will not coun-
tenance this move, as he declares the
situation is the same in all OF the houses,
and that the only difference is that his
firm is employing a larger number OF men
than any other. The Armour firm is not
attempting to operate either its beef or
pork killing departments this morning.
The firm now has 600 men at work pre-.
pairing goods for shipment. but announces
that it will start up all branches as soon
as a sufficient number of workmen will
have been engaged, and to this endis offer
ing large inducements to men to enter
into its employ. The firm does not expect
TO be able TO resume in all OF it's depart
ments for two or three weeks.
