BUTCHERS TO WORK HERE
DNo Order to Strike IN Neu- York
Comes from Chicago.

The employing firms and the meat cutters and
butcher workmen in this city both acted yesterday
as II no second strike order had been issued in
Chicago. and if they took it for granted that
there would be no second strike IN New-York
Preparations were made TO start killing on large
scale to-day. killing is DONE $ rule. on
Saturdays. cleaning up Of the slaughter houses
usually taking up the time of the men on Saturday
Up TO last evening strike order had been re-
ceived here from Chicago. and there appeared to
be impression that such order would not
come There no local trouble here the wages
paid in New-York being higher than those paid
anywhere else and it was evident that an order
for a second sympathetic strike would not be well
received.
Homer Call. the national secretary OF the union
who had been in Chicago when the settlement
reached, came TO this city yesterday. He told the
strike leaders here that he surprised to find
that new strike in Chicago.
Mr. Call had conference with members of the
local advisory hoard Of the union. When yes
terdsy afternoon he said:
have been talking over the situation. and. as
far as can gather. there evidence OF gross
discrimination IN taking back the men, which prob
a workman because he was noneunion man Would
be illegal believe; but there general under
and those who took their places laid OF / have
been given understand that the superintendent
Of the plants in Chicago, when feeInpoying strik-
ers, picked out men here and there IN arbitrary
proninent in TIE strike ana oiherwise sSoWfsg
gross discrimination.
l.. /. Echelberger. The strike leader said that
II strike order received here great discretion
would be used in considering it. He would not
say directly whether strike order would be
obeyed. but lie added:
Everything Is going smoothly here Ali the
New-Iork Packing firms living I'D TO the
fermE OF the settlement. and work is going on
everywhere: have been assured by the repre-
fentai:yeE OF the SchWarZschd L. Eulz5erger Com
fsany That even II an agreement reached
taey would make q separate agreement with the
union. In such case their men would remain at
work
This was borne by President Ferdinand Sulz-
berger OF the firm, who said:
We have ncn-union men working for us ana
that they will not strike again we viii con
tinue 10 live up TO the terms Of TIA agreement
lolntly with the other contractors INDEPENDENTLY
" THAI is impossible / wish to say that we are
other packers IN taking common ground against
the strikers cannot understand how the second
deadlock has taken place. unless it is through a
misunderstanding as TO the terms OF the settle
ment
AT tie different packing plants the men said they
looked on the strike over so far as they were
concerned. Some of the officers were very out
spoken en- this point A district member Of the
executive committee of the unions from the
drivers said
Work Will or1skiy tomorrow and il would
that We ought 10 go cut again. Work will be IN
= fui swing Monday. IL a second strike order
reaches New-koTk Ne VIII have something TO say
in The matter.
During the last two days Eichelberger has been
little at his Office. According to the executive
committee he hiss been looking after matters in
New-Jersey. but IL is thought he wants TO escape
tntervieweTs.
