CHICAGO, October T3th.-Mr. Barry, oi
the Arbitration Committee appointed by
the knights of Labor to adjust the labor
trouble IN the stock yards, said to-day that
he had hopes of making a settlement in the
morning, and would at any rate know be-
fore noon what the prospects of compro-
missing the difficulties were lie was some
what surprised at the proceedings of the
packers at their meeting yesterday, and
said that when he saw them yesterday fore
noon they had said nothing TO him about
any determination to hold cut for ten
hours, but what they had said rather led
him to believe that a compromise might be
arranged. Armour's beet butchers still re-
main at work, by order of the Knights, al
though they are restive under the fact that
cars are loaded by clerks and outsiders
The Pinkerton men have completed their
culinary apparatus, and will live entirely
a the Washington packing-house. They
can't buy anything outside. for, except at
the Transit House, there is a rigid boycott
against them. The men have their mind
set on the elght-hour rule, and will agree to
nothing else. We made Il proposition this
morning to the packers that the eight-hour
rule be continued, and that the men will
all agree to work all the overtime neces-
sary. This will be practically recognition
of the eight-hour system, and will be ac.
cepted by the men. The packers sub
mitted the proposition that the men be
paid by the hour This will not be ac-
cepted. If l find that things are as l some
times suspect they are, and that the pack
ers are playing waiting game | will take
more energetic measures at once, and on
my return to Richmond shall tell the
Knights there that Armour beef is not as
good as it used TO be, and we will see how
the opinions of 100000 men throughout
the country will affect trade
Henry Georges Claptrap.
New YORK, October 13th.-Henry George
is beginning to introduce his theoretical
ideas into his campaign speeches. At a
meeting held last night be said: L want
you to show the political managers that
workisgmen have right to be heard.
Right here in New York, where you are
now placed, you have no rights but to
the privilege of living. Why have you not
rights? Because you have not asserted
them. These horse cars that run along
your streets should be free as air Just as
free as the elevator that carries you into
the upper stories Of tall buildings. 1t is
your privilege to have the cars run you out
to the unoccupied land that lies all about
you and held by millionaires for a rise.
We fought to blot out one form of slavery,
but another, more vicious and which is fast
eating at the vitals of the republic, has
taken its place. The slave-owner fed his
slaves. How many in the hearing of my
voice have sufficient food to appease their
hunger? How many in the radius of half
mile know where they are to sleep to-
night? How many know where they are
to get their breakfast2 You are in indus
trial slavery. What are you to do about it ?
Elect me Mayor and l shall endeavor to put
in operation reform. You call this your
country, yet you cannot call one square
inch of it your own"
