THE STRIKE AND BoyCoTT.

The Chicago packers strike has developed
during the past week into a gigantic affair,
and the strikers seem to have aimed the whole
force of their blow at Phil Armour. The
packers have Joined in the determination that
they will have ten hours work for day, and
the strikers are as determined that they will
work but eight hours, as they have been do
ing since last spring. A large force of Pink
erton'S police are stationed at the stOckyards
aud are being boycotted by the girls who wait
on the tables at the hotel. MeSSrS Barry and
Butler of the Knights of Labor, who came
on from Richmond to settle the difficulty if
possible, have concluded that they cannot eff
feet settlement and hard fight is probable.
Gov. Hill, of New York, has committed the
sentences of the boycotters TO 100 days each.
These men forced Brewer Thesis to pay a
of boycott on his beer, on the ground that
the money had been expended in prosecuting
the boycott Gov. Hill makes a point that
these men did not know they were violating
any law, as such constructions of their acts
had never been laid down by the courts, that
the money was not for their private use, but
for the union which advanced it. The appli-
cation of the law having been established,
and Gov. Hill having assurances from the
prisoners and the Central Labor union that
they would hereafter obey it and refrain from
such damages, he commutes the sentence
stipulating that future violations may expect
no clemency.
After failing to adjust their differences
with the managers, the brakemen on the Ma
honng division of the New York. Pennsyl-
vania & Ohio railroad struck on Monday, and
the Cleveland shops of the company were
closed.
Phil Armour says that the glory of Chicago
as packing center has gone by and is NOV
ing westward.

A sWITCHMAN,s DUTIES.
The Reason why a Strike so Seri-
OusIy Affects the Handling OF
Freight.

The Reason why a Strike so Seri-
OusIy Affects the Handling OF
Freight.
Since the switchmen's strike has COM
menced the question has been frequently
asked why it is that the failure of the
switchmen to continue at their labors
should seriously affect and cripple the rail-
roads The general impression seems to
prevail that the switchmen are men who
stand at railroad crossings and, when not
engaged in tagging passenger trains, turn
the switches at these points. The fact is,
a switchman'S duties are both hard and eX
acting, and in order to fill the position the
men composing the crews, as they are
called, must be thoroughly acquainted with
the road and all the stations or the line on
which they are employed. Each crew con-
siStS of three, or sometimes four men, the
foreman and two or three helpers. The
yardmaSter hands to the foreman list of
loaded cars which are ready for shipment.
The foreman is given charge of a switch
engine, and, with his helpers. makes up the
freight trains. On the majority of the
roads the trains are made up to correspond
with the stations reached after the train
leaves st. Paul, the cars for the first sta
ton after leaving st. Paul being placed at
the rear of the engine, and the cars for the
other stations in the order in which they
come in the schedule. AS will be seen
from this. it requires thorough knowledge
of the roads and stations in order to be of
any practical use and no matter how COM
petent man may be. unless he is familiar
with the stations on the line of the road, he
is of little use. There are about two hundred
switchmen employed in the several yards
and their striking, of course, puts stop to
nearly all the shipments from the city.

mINNNEAPOLIS MILLERs.

The matter of sufficient water power is be-
coming subject of deep concern to mill
owners, as those well advised claim that the
mills will be troubled more than ever in this
respect on the advent of cold weather. Flour
is dull and lower and not much is being sold.
| While the output of the mills was smaller last
week, the flour exports were increased few
thousands Northwestern Miller.
Working millers complain that in grinding
the new wheat it is very much harder to keep
a mill clean and free of dust; the new grain
being dry and light, and in a pulveriZed state,
finding its way out of machines and spouts
much more than is ordinarily the case.
The following officers have been reelected
by the Minneapolis Mill company: d. Morri-
son, president; c. J. Martin, treasurer; w.
d. Hale, secretary; William De la Barre,
agent.
1t is predicted that the millers will be more
seriously hampered by low water during the
coming winter than ever before.
The Northwestern, Petit, Standard and
Galaxy mills have shut down because of the
switchmen'S strike.
Most of the mills have already shut down.
and will keep closed until the switchmen's
strike is over.
One hundred Cyclone dust collectors for the
Pillsbury A have been received and are being
set up.
The Operative Miers' association gives its
first social party the 2Sth inst. al Malcomb
hall.
George Martin, statistcian for Pillsbury &
Co., has gone on the road as salesman.
The Petit mill has surpassed its record by
averaging 1,455 daily for six days.
The Columbia has, of late, averaged 1,2O0
barrels daily.
The Crown roller has started I'D again.

GOOD ADVICE.
To the Editor Of the Globe:

To the Editor Of the Globe:
wish, through the medium CT your paper,
to give word of advice to the switchmen
now on a strike. The Press, Tribune and
Journal are trying to get up controversy be-
tween the men in the different yards, by re-
peating what this one or that one said as to
who first advocated the strike. Boys, let none
of this twaddIe influence you one way or an
other. The question is, are you in the right
or wrong? If wrong, go back to work. If
right, stand firm for your rights. and forever
respect the man who first dared to speak
for his rights. l see that the Journal re-
peats the covert act' dodge. L suppose
it is a standing advertisement, and will ap-
pear with large headlines on the first page
until the strike is over. There are men of
high standing who witnessed the covert act''
affair, and they declare that you switchmen
were not near the covert act'' dump. Be
firm, but above all things, let reason and
good common sense control your every act.

4 sufficient Denial.

Contradicting the statement OF certain
railroads that insufficient notice was given
by the switchmen of their intended strike
the following is certainly comprehensive
denial:
Whereas, The switchmen of Minneapolis,
in their pending strike have by their honora-
be, temperate and orderly conduct, challenged
the admiration of all law-abiding citizeus,
be it
Resolved, That the Trades and Labor As
sembly of Minneapolis indorse their action
to date; and
Whereas, 1t having been published through
the public press of this city that the proper
officials of various railroads concerned, were
not properly notified Of the grievances and de-
mandS Of the striking switchmen
Resolved. That such publications, whatever
their emanatiOn. are untrue, inasmuch as
committees duly requested and authorized by
the switchmen and Trades and Labor Assem-
bly,, made formal notification to the proper
officials Of such grievances and requests.

a MASTER BUILDERS UNION
That Grew Ont of the Labor

That Grew out of the Labor
Troubles in the Eastern Cities.
The master builders have formed an asso-
citation in Boston in consequence of the
labor troubles, and have invited all New
England contractors to cooperate with
them. In their scheme of organization
they propose that after the 1st of April.
1887. iOurneymen or iaborers shall be paid
a certain price per hour. as may be agreed
upon between the employer and the work
man: that to test the question OF whether
ten-hOur days work is too long. the work
ing day shall be nine hours and all work
done before a. m. and after p. IN. shall
be paid for as overtime, and at the end of a
year if further reductions of time seem de-
sirable they will be agreed upon; that con-
tracts for building shall be made with
provision relieving the contractor from any
forfeiture if the progress of the work is de-
layed by strikes. One of the articles of the
maSter-builderS' code on intimidation is as
follows;
Certain workmen have of late very i'm
properly interfered with the carrying on of
work by striking or threatening to for the
most trivial causes, as follows: Because GER
tain other workmen were employed; because
certain workmen were discharged; because
certain stock was used or was not used; be-
cause more than certain number of appren-
tees were taken on, and for other equally un-
tenabie reasons. They have also inundated
certain fellow-workmen by threatening that
they would prevent their getting employ
ment by refusing to work with them unless
they Joined certain societies. Such practices
we condemn as most unfair and intolerable,
and we agree that in case any workmen in
terrupt and embarrass our operators by such
procedure we will promptly discharge them
and notify our fellow members of the dis
charge. We also agree that all conspiracies
shall be prosecuted to the extent of the law.
Still another article relating to grievances
and arbitration is as follows:
We recognize the right of the group of
workmen in the employm ent of any indi-
vidual contractor in the building trades to
demand and receive from their employer a
hearing upon any grievances that may arise
or any changes that may be desired, and at
this hearing they en- elect to be heard

Der or by their individual voices but no per-
