The Ten Hour Fight.

CHICAGO, Oct. IA statement is pub
lIshed this afternoon that a great lockout
at the stock yards has been decided upon
to take place during this month, when the
packing houses win all close down and re-
main closed until the question of eight
hours or ten hours IS settled. Ore of the
large packers said this morning: Trouble
of course Is expected, and IT will be long
fight, but We can't run on eight hours with
ether houses around US running on ten
hours; SD the trouble might as we'll come
all at once, as TO drag along until we are
compelled to shut down 1t IS likely
that several of the houses will start up IN
q small wRv on a ten hour schedule to
make the fight, but houses will shut down
one after another for repairs, and when
they open again it will be on ten hour
time or not at all. This time Of the year
it is customary for all houses which have
been running all summer, TO shut down
for repairs. This October, however, the
shut down will be significant. It will af-
ford houses an opportunity to throw out
men DESTROYS of fighting, but houses will
be closed and those who apply for work
can go to work at ten hours or they can
stay out Meanwhile all houses at Kan
sss City, Omaha, Milwaukee, Springfield,
st Louis and elsewhere, will be running
day and night. The fact of the lockout
Is authoritative, so is the fact that packers
are all acting together. There is no doubt
at all about their being in concert of
action, yet the packers are reticfut, some
of them deny the fact. There is however,
no doubt that the lockout is agreed to.
Preparations are going forward to make a
long and stubborn fight for the ten hour
question. BY the great lockout 10000
people will be deprived of employment,
and its expected they will offer a stubborn
resistance, and it is not thought i'm
probable the fight will lead to blood shed

where meeting will be held tomorrow.
On this occasion Mr.. Charles Branscombe,

THE telegraph brings US news of ter
rible massacre by Indians In the British
possessions, but the odds are ten to one
that the uprising Of he reds will be I'M
mediately suppressed and the murderers
punished. The British plan of dealing
with the saVages Is much preferable to the
one usually adopted in our country. In
Canada the red murderers are hanged; In
the United States they are taken to . reser-
walton and Toasted and Iattened up to be
again turned loose on the settlers.

NEW YORK Times: When the Knights
of Labor decided to hold their great
annual: convention IN the city of Rich
mond, they could not have fOreseen that q
very important question of civil rights
would be presented to them there for con-
sideration. There are eolored delegates,
and not one of the hotels or boarding
houses controlled by white men will take
them In. But will white delegates con
sent to live in hotels from which cOlored
delegates are excluded? All members,
without regard to race or
creed, are equal in the or
ganization. "The injury of one is
the concern OF all" 1t is reported that
the delegates from district assembly No.
40 of this city will carry tents with them
and go into camp. Their contract with q
Richmond hotel has been cancelled because
they insisted upon the admission OF col
ored associate. But II this colored dele
gate and others Of his race are excluded
from other hotels a. we'll az well as from
this one will other white delegates leave
the hotels and seek shelter in tents? The
settlement of this difficulty promises to be
one of the most interesting acts of the con-
VentiOn.
