FIGHTING FOR WORK.
A Daily Occurrence at Chicago That
Shows the Prevailing Distress.

CHICAGO. Dec. 29.-But few of the large
packing houses at the stock-yards are run
ming. In Armour's, which Is the busiest,
only few cattle are being killed. The cam
ming department is entirely suspended. and.
as many other. departments are dependent
upon the canning department 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 small number of
men and 1t Is this engagement 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 in
crease until Z o'clock, when the foreman
appears to secure the men he needs. In
stantly there is a rush to get near him.
Might makes right in that rush. and the men
are knocked down or pushed aside. No con-
sideration Is shown for anyone, 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 pals
and what money they may have. In the
evening men and children stand around
With baskets begging for what may be left
of the luncheon of the workmen.

WILL PUSH HER CASE.
Miss Pollard Has No idea of Com
promising.
HASN'T SEEN COL BRECKENRIDGE.
With Her Brother in Cincinnati on
Private Business.
KEEPS HERSELF CONCEALED.

CINCINNATI. Dec. 29-"J D. Pollard
and sister, Washington, D.. c." is a
scrawled inscription across the register Of
the Palace Hotel. ]. d. Pollard Is brother
Of Miss Madeline Pollard. whose name has
been so conspicuously associated with that
OF Congressman w. c. P. Breckenridge,
from whom she is seeking 1900 damages
for breach Of promise
Apropos Of the story in circulation rela-
tive to the alleged compromise of her suit
against Col. Breckenridge, and the fact
that he was at the Grand Hotel on Wednes-
day, the visit of Miss Pollard here Just now
is quite interesting. She and her younger
brother, who is youthful-looking, smooth
faced young man, perhaps nineteen years
Of age. arrived together. Miss Pollard was
assigned to room IA Of the Palace Hotel.
and, so far as the clerks of that hotel
know, she has not left the room since her
arrival. She has taken all Of her meals in
her room, and the house has not had such
an exclusive guest in many a day.
While very much averse to discussing her
suit against Col Breckenridge, Miss Pollard
declared last night to the reporter that
there is not an iota of truth in the report
that she has compromised with Col Breck-
inridge.
1.-The word compromise has not been
ut has not been thought of, 1t could not
be under the circumstances. l am here on
strictly private business Of nature not
connected with my suit, but 1 do not care
to discuss the object of my visit
How long will you stay here?" was
asked.
II shall probably go away tomorrow. but
cannot tell
When asked If she had seen Col. Breck-
irridge while she was here, she hesitated
ard then said that she had not. She ad-
mitted that ]. 8. Obermeyer, the well-known
attorney of this city, and formerly one OF
her tutors at Wesleyan College. is interest
ed in her suit.
He is connected with my case in a way"
said Miss Pollard. II do not care to say
just how
"Will you push your suit was asked.
Il see no reason why / should not" was
the quick reply.
Miss Pollard has a number of acquaint-
ances here, many Of whom are very friend
ly to her. Apparently, she Is contented
with her case, and Indications are that she
will push 1t until she Is satisfied that she
has won it. 1t was evident from her de-
meanor that she and her young brother are
endeavoring to keep their identity concealed
while in the city.
