CHICAGO. May 1.-The proprietors Of all the
packing-houses and kindred establishments held
a secret meeting this afternoon, when, after sew
eral hours session. they separated, their faces
presenting anything but happy appearance
Each participant kept away from reporters, res
olutely asserting he would not be interviewed
1t was known that the subject of discussion at
the meeting was the question as to
what action should be taken in regard to
the eighthour movement. Conflicting reports
Of the result were in circulation. and up to late
hour no authoritative information had been OBJ
tanned. The general impression, however, was
that the packers had been unable to agree upon
a concerted plan to resist the demands Of their
employees, and that upon Monday morning the
eighthour day would be conceded but, If possi-

duction in wages.
1t is currently reported tonight that the Wa

road, had decided to keep their freight Offices

The BoxmanufacturersA Association, the mem
bers Of which employ several thousand men,
held meeting with closed doors tonight, and
remained in session until nearly midnight. Pro-
prietors of planingm mills throughout the city had
been invited to attend, but only limited num-
ber put in an appearance. and they, as a rule,
left early. No formal action was taken beyond
the adoption of resolution that the members OF

factories closed for the present until further ac-

other branches of trade, far as he had personal
knowledge.
Mr.. Simmons stated that the business prostra-

this side OF the river it was the Country which
draws its supplies from u.s. and business was
suspended absolutely for three or four weeks; and
second, it affected trade in not being able to

The employees of the numerous planning mills
