rHE PACKING HOUSES
AT CHICAGO TO SHUT DOWN
THIS MONTH
And VIII Not Resume Until the Cues
tiOn Of Hours of Labor
Is Settled.

CHICAGO, ILL, October THE
statement is published this afternoon
that a great lockout at the stock
yards has teen decided upon tome
time during this month, when the
packing houses will ali closddoyn and
remain closed until the question OF
eight hours or ten hours is settled.
One OF the largest packers said this
morning: 'Tronble is OF course ex-
pected. 1t will be long fight, but we
can't run on eight hours with the
other houses around US running on
ten hours. So the trouble might as
we'll come all at once as to drag along
until we are compel ed to shut down
by losses. 1t is likely that several OF
the houses will start up in asmall way
on the ten hour schedule and make
the fight"
The Chicago Packing aud Provision
Company has already shut down for
repairs. That is what ell the packing
companies officers tav, and this 10
probably the tecrtt of the denial Of
the packers that this is to be a lock-
ont. The houses will shut down one
after another for repairs. When they
open it will be on ten hours time or
not at all. At this time OF the year 1t
is customary for all tho houses which
have been running all summer to
shut down for repairs. This October,
however, the shut down will be sig
nificant. II will afford the houses the
opportunity to throw on their men the
onus OF the fighting. Those who ap-
ply for work can go to work a. ten
hours, or they can stay out. Mean
while all the houses at Kanses City,
Omaha, Milwaukee, Sp ingfeid, st.
Louis and else here will be run day
and night.
The TACT OF the lockout is gu horits-
tive. So is the fact that the packers
ale all acting together. There is no
doubt at all about there being concert
OF action, yet the packers a 9 all so
reticent, and come OF them deny the
fact 60 glibly, thst to one not versed
in their ways their denials would be
accepted. There is, however, no
doubt that the lookout is agreed to,
aud prepare ions sre going forward to
make a long and stubborn fight for
the ten hour question.
A hog buyer said this morning:
"There is plainly something in the
wind at the o k yards, but just
what it is nobody knows. The houses
are going to close down very soon.
They can better afford to make the
fight in October than in November,
Hogs are high now, and by shutting
down and forcing the ten hour fight,
the packers would really make their
expenses by the depre sion OF the
price of hogs." By the great lockout
20 600 people will be deprived Of en-
ploymsnt. 1t is expected that they
will offer a stubborn resistance, aud
1t is not thought imp obable that the
fight will lead 10 bloodshed.
