Only tsO assemblies of the knights o.

factory assembly is that known as the
mixed assembly, tho master workmen
of which is nj. j. Butler, the man who
gave the order to strike.
A meeting of packers and their fore
man was held to-day at Armour's to pre-
pare for the return OF the men to-mor-
row, 1t was decided to take things
coolly and act slowly until matters were
moving along satisfactorily. Shortly
after the meeting q placard was issued
headed, General Order No. l." and
signed by Sheriff Hanchett. The order
states that the employees of the various
packing houses desiring to return to
work would report at the places design
ated, the men of each of the houses
being given separate locations on the
strike being ended. The manager OF
each house will report at the phase
designated, and with the assistance of
the foremen select from a line OF return
ing strikers such men as are desired to
have come to work on that or any other
day, giving to each man o pass with the
name of the firm stamped upon it, which
pass will admit him within the militia
picket lines. After having selected all
the men desired, the manager will re-
quest the balance to return home and
report again at the same place on any
day that may be named by the manager.
Aftsr this had been posted in public
places other manifestoes, on wrapping
paper, appeared, advising the strikers to
remain out. The foremen OF the houses
made some of their selections during the
afternoon and issued passes to choice
mechanics, those having families being
the most favored. There is general
