CHICAGO, November There was no
disturbance worthy of mention at the
stockyard1 to-day. Armour & Co. re-
port that 500 beeyes were slaughtered
to day, in their establishment. 1t isnot
known that the strikers committee for
mally presented their demands to the
packers yesterday. They asked for the
eight hour system, and a scale of wages
slightly less than the one in force for
ten hours. The packers refused to en-
terrain the proposition, and the strike
was ordered. The strikers sent COM
mIttees around to-day, to induce the
work to quit. In. many instances,
especially with the fremen ana
engineer, the attempt was successful.
a number of packers held q confer
ence In ArnOur's Office to-day, but
they declined TO talk about the pro-
ceedings. Several largely attended
meetings of the strikers were also held.
The deputy sheriffs did not leave their
barracks during the day, all detail
work being done By the regular non-
police. \ great majority of the
strikers remained away from the yards.
One hundred moro deputy sheriffs
arrived in the evening, making the
total force 800 in Chicago.

CHICAGO, November I'm an inter-
view. tonight, p. ID. Armour declared
emphatically that he would start up In
ali departments to morrow morning at
any hazard. He would meet the strikers
determinedly from the very outset, and
he intended bringing the matter to q
settlement in the shortest space of time.
CHICAGO. November Sat 10 O'Clock
this morning the First and Second regi-
ments marched from their armory to
the Lake Shore station, and from there
they will at once be transported to the
Stock Yards. There has been no seri-
Gus disturbance at the yards yet, but
assaults on non-union men are growing
more frequent. as the morning pro-
crossed the crowds around the entrances
10 the yards increased, the strikers be-
came more obstinate, and deputy
sheriffS found greater difficulty in dis
persing them. Armour & Co. had about
$50 of their old men, who have refused
to strike, at work killing hogs, but this
was the only hog house in the yards
running. Knight of Labor Barry said
he had not as yet been able to get at all
tue facts in regard to the strike, and
did not know what action he would
take. He proposed, however, TO have a
talk with the packers during the day,
and hoped soon to bring about an annie
able settlement.
About 9 O'Clock the crowd at ths
wards got m re turbulent and assaults on
non-union men became more frequent.
! One man who was on his way to row
ler's packing house was intercepted
while walking over the Viaduct which
leads to the house. Tnee or four men
picked him up and threw him over on
to the ground below. distance of over
thirty feet. He was very badly injured.
PHILADELPHIA, November S.-General
Master Workman Powderly and Messrs.
HAYES, Bailey and Mcclure. of the
General Executive Board of Knights oil
Labor, held a conference here last even
ing relative to the strike Of the Chicago
beef and pork packers. In the absence
of any knowledge of the details of any
strike, General Master Workman Pow
DERBY telegraphed to Thomas Barry, q
member of the General Executive
Board, but at midnight had received no
reply. Mr.. Powderly said last night
III have received no word from Chicago.
IL is a mistake that the General Execu-
tive Board ordered q strike. 1t was
done by the District Assembly. As
soon as heard an intimation of the
strike sent Mr.. Barry to Chicago to
avert the strike If possible, but he did
not get there in time" Mr.. Powderly
declines 20 discuss the merits OF the
case in the absence Of any knowledge
of the strike.
CHICAGO, November s.-The packers
have resolved to fight the Knights OF
Labor and all other organizations. At
a meeting held this afternoon, they I'M
animously adopted resolution

work but are prevented by the action
of labor organizations, and resolved
that they 1.-THE packers) will not, here
