NOT DONE YET.
The report telegraphed from here early
this evening that the strike was at an end
was based upon direct information from
the packers, At 10 p. m. information is
received from the same source that the |

MIR. j. e. Hately, member of the execu- |

light hours work for eight hours pay, or at
east allow the matter to be srhitrated.
The statement that Mr.. Powderly had
gired Mr.. Carleton to order the strike off
WAS LIE ON ITS FACE.
dr. Carleton had only arrived in Chicago
his morning and it was absurd to suppose
hat ne would be per-emptorily command
