FIGHTING FOR WORK.
A Daily Occurencs That shows the Pre-
yaiIinR Distress.


CHICAGO. December 2s.-But few OF the
large paclxing-houses at the stock-yards
are running. In Armour's. which Is the
busiest. only few cattle are being killed.
The canning department Is entirely sus-
pended, ana. as many other departments
arc dependent upon the canning DEPART
ment for work. they. too. are closed.
As a consequence large numbers OF men
are out of work.
Outside OF those employed regularly
there Is few hours work for a small
number OF men. and II Is the engagement
OF these that brings on the fights and
struggles that occur daily In the yards.
The men begin to gather as early as
o'clock in the morning, and increase
until O'Clock, when the foreman appears
to secure the men he needs. Instantly
there IL a rush to get near him. Might
makes right In that rush, and the men
are knocked down or pushed aside. Nc
consideration Is shown for any one, and
the man who is not strong enough to
ASSERT himself and defend himself must
get out or he will be knocked out A
number Of men are said to have been
hurt, some Of them seriously. In the
daily struggles.
Those who fail TO secure work assault
workmen and rob them Of their dinner
nails and what money they may have
In the evening men and children stand
around with baskets begging for what

been experienced in former years.
Mercantile collections throughout the
