CHICAGO. November 1.-THE situa-
ton at the stockyards, this morning,
shows an improvement. All the packers
report their forces increasing. and
among the applicants who worked to-
day are several old men. Contrary 70
general expectations, the army of work
men which was engaged by Fowler &
Co., in New York, last Monday, arrived
at the yards aud reached their en-
ployers' establishment without any
molestation. The reports to General
FitZsimmons. at So'clock, from all parts
of the yards, say that everything Is
quiet.
CHICAGO, November lit is believed
that the great strike at the stockyards
is nearing its end. IL is reported on
Change that Powderly has ordered the
men back to work. The same report
is current in Armour's down town
Office, although they have no official
information of 1t. So many new men
have come in during the past few days
that the packers now saw they need no
more.
The report telegrayhed from here
this evening that the strike was at an
end, was based upon direct information
from the packers. At 10 pm. infor ma
ton is received from the same source
that the report proves to be without
foundation. J. Q. Aatelz, member of
the executive committee Of the Pack
ers' Association, says the statement
that the strike had been declared of by
the knights was a mistake. He does not
undertake TO explain how the mistake
was made, and can only say that shortly
beiore . pm. the packers were In re-
ceipt of Information which, though not
official, was considered by them reliable.
Messrs. Barry and Carlton. members
of the knights OF Labor General
Executive COMMITTEES. denied the reports
shortly after pm. that there was any
change whatever in the status OF che
strike. A meeting of the strikers is in
session tonight at the yards, which IS
being attended by Messrs. Barry and
Carlton.
Before entering the hall at s p. m.
Barry and Carlton were seen and ques-
toned concerning the reported collapse
of the strike. They denied emphatic
ally that there was any truth whatever
in the statement Carlton, who arrived
this morning. as representative OF
Powderly, to investigate the situation.
said that so far from the strikers hav-
ing surrendered they were full of en-
thusiasm and confident of ultimate
victory. So far as he has been able TO
ascertain to-day, there was little or
no probability of the strike ending
until the men had won their point,
viz, that the packers concede the tech
nical recognition of the principle OF
eight hours work for eight hours pay,
or al least allow the matter to be srbi-
trated. The statement that PoTderly
had wired Carlton to order the STRIFE
off was q lie on its face. Carlton had
emily arrived in Chicago this morning,
aud II was absurd to suppose that he
wo7ld be peremptorily commanded 10
end the strike without being given any
time TO fulfill the mission which brought
him here. News concerning Powderly S
alleged telegram had been received in
Chicago over the spectators private
wire. and both Carlton and Barry de
clared, without reserve, the belief that
the report saying the strike was of had
been given out solely for stock-loboinE
purpose3.
