THE OUTCOME OFTHE CHICAGO
REVOLT STILL IN DOUBr.

Leadsrs of the Trades Assembly Doing
Their Utmost to CAuse a Spit in the
Organization of the knights - Mr.
Barry Of the Opinion that the Men
win Return TO work.
CHICAGO, 1.-THE indecisiou ofthe
strikers last night whether or not to obey
the order to return to work led to serious
complications to-day. At q special meet
ing of the Chicago Trades Assembly
George Schilllng, a locally prominent
Socialistic agitator, introduced resOlu-
tion instructing and empowering the Ex-
ecutive Committed OF the Trades Assem-
bly,, acting as joint committee, to hold
themselves in readiness and whenever
called on by the executive committee OF
the strikers, to investigate affairs at the
stock yards and act with the strikers and
assist hem in any way possible. The reso-
lutiOu was understood TO mean that the
strikers could not obey Mr.. POwderly'sI
order and that the Trades Assembly would
aid and abet them in disobeyng.
POWERS MISCHIEF MAKING.
Richard Powers, eX-President Of the
Seamen's Union, vehemently declared
that Mir. POwderlY's order was arbitrary
and die tatOrv. The strikers, men on the
ground. he asserted, were in the best posi-
tlon to decide on the proper course, and
they were in fav'r of continuing the
strike. II any outside pressure was
brought TO bear to enforce the order IL
would result In "A schism in the hnlg hts OF,
Labor, the destruction of that Organiza-
ton in this part OF the country and the
crippling OF Its influence throughout the
land. 1t was in VAN that the opponents
OF the resolution pointed out that disObe-
AZ Il
just as destructive TO the Knights.
Mr.. Sohlllng and his sympatbizers car
rled their point. The assembly then i'm
mediately adjourned.
The great strike was also the chief
topic OF discussion in the Central Labor
Union. Resolutions were adopted ten
dering the strikers the sympathy and
substantial support OF the union.

strikers sent number OF very severe tel
egrams to-day to Mr.. POwderly, express
ing disgust at his interference, and init
mating that he had better revoke the
mandate and let them help themselves.
Il. z. Barry, of the knights of Labor
General Executive Board, said to-day
