| CHICAGO, Nov. IA a small riot.
promptly nipped in the bud, was all that
occurred at the stock yards to-day TO re-
lieve the mon0tony Of the situation. A
hundred or so of strikers attem pied to tear
in pieces the outfit of recently-engaged
employe of Armour & Co.. who was NOV
| ing to a new place of residence. Some
| sheriff's deputies mterfered before much
damage was done. but the mob remained
! i'll the vicinity for some time, and at last
accounts. the unfortunate employe was
| still under the protection OF strong
guard. There is large increase in the
number of men at work, and it would seem
| that in a few days the houses would
| have full gangs at work. One packer, ON
I looking over a crowd Of thousand or more,
remarked that the mater,a! was none of the
| best and would need considerable wedding
out before 1t would be very serviceable.
There is crowd of cOlored people among
the imported men. The committee, con-
| sisting of Messrs. Barry, Carleton. Mar
| shall and SchIling was in session all the
morning at the Transit house. Numerous
visitors were uShered upstairs to the room
of inquiry could elicit any information. A
new feature of the strike is the boycotting
| of Armour's meats by District Assemblies
81 ana "a. Knights of Labor. A local boy
colt has been placed on Underwood Il Co.
Tonight many people are of the opinion
| that the stock yards strike will be settled
before Monday. The supposition is that Ar
lnour knows more about the probabilities and
possibility Of settlement than any one.
He to-day decided not to take any more
men until Monday, and it is this fact that
gives color to the belief that the matter will
be settled before that day. Many rumors
as to a settlement were in circulation. but
none that could be confirmed. One report
was that the employers of the two smaller
establishments had agreed to withdraw
from the Packers association, and, by TAX
ing the pick OF the most Skillful employees
of Armour, Fowler and other leading
packers. attempt to gain prestige on that
score as well as by starting up as Knights
of Labor houses The strikers leaders re-
ceived and sent many kilograms during the
day and evening. but absolutely declined to
say word as to Nhethgc or not the condi-
ton of affairs had been altered. In the
afternoon Mr. Carleton, accompanied by
Mr.. Barry and the strikers executive COM
mittee. left their headquarters, OStensibly
to cali at the down town offices of the pack
ers The packers denied that any such
call was II ade.
Late to- night Messrs. Barry and Carle
ton said that they had been working on
certain line, the import of which they
were not at liberty to explain" Mr. Carle-
ton admitted that he had an engagement to
meet a member of the Packers association
to- morrow, but said he had an idea that
the meeting would be fruitleSs and that
the packer merely wished to show that
the employers original plans had not
been changed. MeSsrs. Barry and Carleton
denied that they had been in conference
with any of the packers and intimated that
their secret departure from the stock yards
was merely ruse to rid themselves of the
swarm of reporters. The opinion is gen.
eral among the well posted strikers that
important instructions have been received
from Mr. POwderly, and that the lea ders
are engaged in shaping their policy to ac
cord with the ideas of the general master
workman.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. lathe
agents of Armour's branch establishment in
this city, and the firm of Washington,
Butcher & Co. have within day or two
sent to Chicago over 200 skilled hog butch
ers to take the p aces of the strikers at Ar
mours packing house in that city. The
men were guaranteed one years steady
work at from So to 81 a day, and were
promised protection from violence. There
were number of applicants today, but
none were engaged. as it was stated hat
Armour had telegraphed that he now had
all the men he needed.
