The order. which was telegrap phed
to New York tonight, does not go
into effect until Sunday. as the men
in the Eastern packing plants do not
report for work on Saturday.
That the probabilities of a settle

/ RiOtinE Was Frequent.
/ Following the arrest OF George Gold
I en-, chief of the packers teamsters, for
/ picketing, riots became more frequent
] in the vicinity of the stock yards this
I afternoon.
In one disturbance a mob captured a
| loaded meat wagon after it had left
the stock yards. upset the wagon and
threw the meat into the street.
The most serious riot of the day oc-
Cured in South Chicago. where five
men were arrested FOR trying TO pre-
vent the delivery Of meat.
Many Threats Were Made.
Although the strikers and their
friends became very bOisterous when
it became known that Golden had been
arrested. and made all sorts OF threats,
no one was seriously injured In any OF
the many disturbances that occurred.
The police have the situation so well
In hand that before the would-be riot
ers can get fairly started in their pur-
pese they are scattered by the blue
coats in all directions.
More business was done to-day by
. the packers than at any time since the
strike began. With to-day's additions
to the new employees obtained from out
side sources the statement was made
tonight by one Of the packers that
fully 1900 men are now at work in
the seven plants where the union men
are on strike. This Is nearly half as
many men as went on strike.
strike Leaders Incensed.
The action OF the police regarding
Golden greatly incensed the strike
leaders. International President Cor
nelius p Shea OF the Brotherhood OF
Teamsters. was outspOken in hts de-
nunciatson.
Colorado methods seem to prevail
said he.
Other leaders coincided with this
view. and hot talk prevailed about the
strikers headquarters.
Adding TO the strained situation
when Golden was finally released by
Inspector Hunt. the police official took
occasion 10 issue a verbal manifesto
that the police will no longer permit
strike leaders TO issue, or disseminate,
orders to the members OF the unions,
save in private halls.
Police Inspector Determined.
You call out who you please. but
you'll do IL In your own hall. or land
in the lookup" shouted the Inspector.
"Ill have no nonsense on the streets.
You fellows won't give any orders on
the streets TO any one. mind you,
whether Il Is your men or not
You won't holler orders from win
dows either. That's final"
This utterance. made in the open
air, In the presence OF scores. was
seized upon by the labor leaders as an
instance OF usurpation OF power which
they contended is possessed only by the
courts. and, in fact. as equivalent to
a declaration OF martial law.
strikers in UEIy Mood.
Regarding the manifesto as a par
allel 70 the attitude taken by the au-
thorlties In Colorado. the strikers were
thrown into an intensely ugly mood.
on all sides il was conceded that
the incident will have a decided in
fiuence upon the future conduct OF the
strike.
