CH1CAaus NOV. IA local paper SAYS
The result Of many hours' consultation be
tween committeeman Barry, Master Work
man Butler and members Of several exec
uttve boards in district No. 81 as to the
next move against the packers, was the
issuing OF boycott circular against the
goods Of Armour s 20. This has been
II confederation for some days, and the
bOgcoea circular Wes prepared Tues
day, but the fear that IL would not
be sustained by the general executive
board has caused tito be withheld. Pow
deTly's weIl-remembered advice last
spring, that the time had no. come for an
eight hour movement stood in the way of
the boards ordering . boycott % sustain
the light for the eight hour movement
This was serious obstacle and it has not
yet been fully overcome, but the situation
demanded some heroic measures and it is
evident that Dieirics 81 was determined to
take the risk OF having its work overruled
by higher authority than not try at all.
OLD EMPLOYEES APPLYIEG FOB WORK.
CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-The general situa-
ton ct the stock yards shows no essential
change beyond the fact that applications
for work are more numerous than on the
previous day, and many OF the old men
are included In the list, having appar-
emily concluded 10 accept the protection
afforded them and secure their former
places while there is still an opportunity.
| The troops guarded al the main APP
proaches this forenoon, but encountered
no turbulent crowds.

place OF residence. Some Of the eheriff's
deputies ineeFfered before much damage
was done, but the mob remained In the
vicinity for some time and at last
accounts the unfortunate employs WIS
still under the protection of strong
guard. There IL large increase IN the
number Of men 81 work, and it would
have full gangs at work. One packer in
looking over . crowd of thousand or
more remarked that the material was
none OF the best and would need consid.

THE AIR FULL OF RUMoRs.
Tonight many people are OF the
| opinion that the Stock Yards strike will
| be settled before Monday. The supposi-
| ton Is that Armour knows more about
the probabilities and possibility OF q
settlement than any one. He decided
not 70 take any more men until Monday
and IL Is this fact that gives color "a
i the belief that the matter viii not be
settled before that day. Many Tumorl
are in circulation, but none could be con-
| firmed. One report was that the pro
| prietors of two Of the smaller establish
ments had agreed to withdraw from the
/ Packers association. and by taking their
| pick Of the most skillful Of the employees
Of Armour, Fowler and other leading
packers attempt TO gam prestige on that
Pcore, IS well as by starting up as
Knights Of labor houses. The strikers
leaders received and sent many tele-
grams during the day and evening, but
absolutely declined TO sey word &c
