Springfield, H., November Sc vernot
Oglesby says he does not care to talk abour
the Chicago strike or the action he has
taken in ordering out the militia He ap-
pears fully aware of the gravity of the sit
uation and no doubt will act promptly and
efectually to preserve the peace and pro-
tect life and property. A gentleman pres
ent at the interview with Sheriff Hanchett,
says: "rhe sheriff represented to the gov
ernor that there were $1,000 men on a
strike at the Chicago stock yards and he
was utterly powerless to cope with so
large body of strikers with the force at
his command. He considered il of the
utmost importance that the militia should
be ordered out at once an made demand
on the governor for assistance. The gov
ernor issued an order for the assembling of
two regiments and
NO BLANK CARTRIDGES TO BE USED.
Sheriff Hanchett and Senator Campbell
both declined to talk about the sensation.
Assistant Adjutant- General Evert says:
Sheriff Hanchett informed Governor
Oglesby it would do no good to swear in
deputy sheriffs in citizens clothes, as they
had no effect against the strikers. lie was
satisfied there was no other course but to
order out the militia that would be effec
tive, and asked for four regiments, but
thought he would start with two.
AT CHICAGO.
Chicago, ILL.,, November S.-The
members of the first and second regi-
ments Illinos national guard assem- oled at
their armory this morning at o'clock in
obedience to orders from Governor Oglesby
tod nrh
commander or the first brigade. Perfect
quiet reigned in the yards this morning,
the tracks in the vicinity of the packing
who kept the small crowds which congre-
gated In the corners moving. Around the
outskirts of the yards the SCENE was diff
ferent Gangs of strikers stood at the
entrances and men with their dinner pats
in hands were deprived of their pals and
in numbers of instances
SEVERELY THRAsHED
There seemed to be determined effort
on the part of the strikers to prevent any
new men from applying for the positions
which the former had left. On the other
hand the employers seemed determined not
to re-engage any of the strikers. So far the
status of the strike is somewhat indefinite.
The only certain thing being that the men
ordered out Saturday unanimously obeyed
the order and left the work Just in the con-
dition in which it was when the committee
appeared ameng them and read to them |
the instructions of the committee |
of the butchers assembly knights of Labor !
About 9 o'clock this morning the crowd at |
the stock yards got
MORE TURBULENT. |
and the assaults on the non-union men be- |
came more frequent One man who was
on his way to the Fowler packing house was
while walking over the yiaduct
which leads to the house Three or four /
men picked him up and threw him over to
the ground below, distance of thirty feet. |
and Mike Sullivan wee brought to the |
and charged with the assault. At O'Clock /
Henry Sharp anl VIM. OkIey passed
Thirty -eighth and Laurel streets on their
way to work at ArmOur's A crowd of
over one hundred, the leaders of whom aIe
alleged to have been Collins and Sullivan,
attacked the two workingmen.
OAKLEY WAS ALMOST KILLED,
the assailants jumping on him and kick
ing him In frightful manner. But for
the arrival of officers, who drove the crowd
back at the point OF their revolvers, the
two men would probably have lost their
lives.
A SERIOUS RIOT
4 ok place this afternoon at the corner of
Thirty-ninth and Halstead streets. A
mob of 5000 strikers attacked a number of
he new men who were going To work at
he packing houses. The police attacked
he mob and were in turn attacked and
iriven back. Several of the men are said
O have been seriously injured The mill
la was sent TO the scene but the mob had
dispersed before they had arrived There
$ intense excitement at the stock yards
,ver the outbreak and bloody scenes are
ooked for tonight
THE PACKERs'
The character of the union between the
packers is not generally understood. The
nen at the yards don't know exactly what
I is, and down town the public is in igno-
ance of il.
The two successive strikes in the last
hree weeks have perfected it. Nels, Nor
is, Swift, Armour, Sid Kent and all other ,
packers at the yards have now signed a !
hree-years' contract to stand together in
he matter of employing men and hand ,
ing strikes. The Stock Yards company is
n it, and each concern is under bonds to
ct with the others. This compact was :
Ot formed until the beef men went out. q
ne union of the packers is now a good 7
cal more complete than that OF the men. e
