AN EvENTFUL BAY.
CHICAGO, October Sth-5 P. .M.-This even
ing 153 Pinkerton detectives sat down to
supper at the Transit House with Winches-
ter repeater rifles between their knees.
Captain Foley, who was in charge, said
that by to- morrow he would have 800 men
in and about the yards, as an Emergency
Committee. The Pinkertons arrived at
the yards at o'clock, via the Lake Shore
Railroad, and were greeted by derisive
yells from the crowd of 1000 men which
filled the street. The officers went to the
Town Hall and were all sworn in as spe-
cials, then they were taken back into the
cars. The crowd made it so unpleasant
that Captain Foley formed his command
into four companies and headed for the
Transit House. The strikers express the
idea that the packers have a deep-laid
scheme to fill the houses with new men
who are willing TO work ten hours. 1t is
said that to this end the employers had
been collecting men at outside points for
months.
FEATURE OF THE STRIKE
To-day was the beefmen coming out
at Armour's. This was a surprise
TO the packers, who apparently hoped to
confne the fight to the hog interests. The
firm is left with 4, 300 head of cattle in their
yard to feed. Armour's coopers came out
also They had asked for 25 cents advance,
and it had not been granted. 1t is estima-
ted that there are now 10000 men out of
work, about one-quarter of whom are
strikers the others being obliged to quit on
their account, for want of work. The
strikers are skilled workmen, the remain
der being laborers. These latter, though
not technically striking, appear to be in
hearty sympathy with the movement. The
men all quit with their knives and other
sharp-edged tools in their possession. AmaSs
meeting of the strikers has been called for
tomorrow afternoon, at which it is feared
trouble may develop. Fully 10 900 persons
are expected to be present.
