i i 5 } i i i s THE STOCK-YARDS, The Green’ Hands Beginning to Work Admirably. A MassMecting of the Butcherseee Idlo Words Whick Mean Nothing. Thoir Funds Aro Bolng Used in Poy- ing Extravagant Wages to Officers, Absordity of & Butchers’ Unton—8 Delegation Mere From St. Louis, Tho situation at the Stook-Yards ts unchanged. Quict ruled throughout tha realms of the pack- Sng-house, no report being mnde of disturbance of any kind. Tho reooipta of hogs duriug tho day amounted to from 16,000 to 18,000, and, con- sidering the enforecd dullness of the times, sales wero quite lively. Almost nll tho smaller puck- ing-houses bought lots, tho shiughtering of which will necessitate tholr working on New- Year's Day. Tho heaviest purchusers were Ar- mour & Co., who bought 6,000, which they will dispose of to-day on n couple of benches, anit Fowler Bros, who, having oleaned out their stock on band, lald in a fresh supply of 3,400, which thoy expect to convert into purk before 6 o'clock this ovening. The Chiengo Packing & Provision Company were not Jn tho market, thoy having’ decided to obsorve a holiday. A BTEADY IMPROVEMENT is noted {n tho work of all tho green hands em- ployed by the various non-Union cstablish- ments, and the bellef {s general ntnony those who have accn thom at work that, if the expert hunds who nro at present on tho strike do not hurry up and get bnek to thoir old places, they ‘will find whon too Inte that thoy aro filled, At tho Chicago Packing Company's house tho kill- ing gang accomplished 1,500 hoge as agafist 1,100 of the day bofore, and Foreman Barnum stands rendy to bot his month's wages against tho weck- ly allowance mado by tho Union to nastrikin roustabout, that before a week Is over thoy wil Kill 2,600 a duy in as good style ns did tho best ung which the house was running on the day of tho strike. At Fowler Brothors' two benches were kopt in aotive operation yesterday, und Fa iw) ali hogs wero killed. An amusing nce poned at tho singelng department of this place yesterday. Owing to a hitch occurring in the tnuchinery which hauls the hos up into the singelng Dlast, a fine and fat porker could not be lowered until fifteen minutes after his entry {nto theo flery furnace, WHR he was Drought down he was thoroughly cookéd, ant tho dolicucy of i hog rousted whole was available for the men, who, howover, declined to purtake of tho necl- dental fenst, At Armour & Co.'s tho dity’s kill amounted to 1,000, and to-duy thoy expect on two benches to Aughter not legs thin 3,000. ‘Tho ovent of the day was E TUE OPEN-AIN MAB8-MERTING hold by tho Union on the pratrio across the rond trom tho littlc church in which they huve held many of thelr meotings. Tho chatr, which con- sisted of a platform-cur standing upon tho trick which crosses tho prairic at this point, was taken. by Daniel O'Connell, who eniled the mecting to ordor and announced that Sir. R. Powers, Presl- dont of the Seamen's Union, would firat address tho mecting. ‘Mr. Powers, in his opening remarks, congratus Jated his hearers, who numbered in tho vicinity ‘of between 2,000 and 3,000, that, though thoy had now been out of work for two weoks, not onc of them hud dono anything of an unlawful chorac- ter, Ho dwelt at some length upon the alleged impropriety of tho Town of Laka calling: owt epealal polfcemen natn cost to tho taxpiyers of ‘day, and urged that thoy take tho mutter up at the carilest opportunity and put an ond to tho necdiess extravagance. it wns tholr duty to do 80, a8 the strikers were causing no exeite- ment and injuring no property, for which ren- gon it was an imposition for tho tuxpayens of the town to be obliged to beara burden for which no necessity existed. . Admitting for tho snko of argument that tho butchers were wrong in causing tho strike, ho asked whether any man not « member of the Board of Trade could got admission upon its floor and do business with {ta members. Of course he could not, and what wrong was there when the Union butchers ug a body decided thut thoy would not work with non-Union mon? Nono whatever; thoy iad ag much right on thelr sido as tho Board of ‘Trada people had right on thotra, ‘Tho speaker wont on to stato that Tus Trin. ‘une and Times had Hed concerning tho so-called strike, which ho cluimed was nothing -moro or jess than a lock-out and! that -certain.nrticles writton in both papers wore dovold of founda- tion, and gotten up moro for tho purpose of ox- elting the people. Ho thorcfore appenicd to those papers to give the Union a fair show and no one-sided game in the futuro, He deprocat- od the idea that _ ‘THE UNION MEN ITAD USED INTIMIDATION, and said that tho bosses of Armour & Co., tho Chicay Puckelng Company, and the Anglo- American Pack! H, Compuny’s houses hud tried by all means in thoir wer to intimi- date men by telling thom it thoy should get no more work in those hourcs whon the so-called striko was over. In answer to this he would muke tho sasortion that tho Unton had justioo on its side,and that {ta members would occupy thoso packing-houscs when their present. owner were out of thon, ‘Thora was no doubt that many men had been duped by these Intimidations into signing the iron-clud oath; but a8 soon as thoy’ hid found out what thoy hud “dono, they. returncd to tho Union by the dozens, which could be proved by amidavita, {f neccessary. Speaking of Dennis Keurney's pympthy with tho strikers, and tho roported gift of $100,000 by that agitator to the Union, he remarked that mocking fs sometimes Sariaer that perhaps thoro wore moro pep- plo making donations to tho Union than tho out- side public were wall aware of, ‘Tho apeaker discussed nt some length tho right of existence of. tho Butchers’ Union, holdin: that it was a legally-churtered institution, ant that nono of its acta sinco it began work had for- felted it tho respect of the people. He spoke in glowing torms of the oxcollent behavior of its mombors, and offered n $20 gold pleco on tho spot for the production from tho crowd of w single man under tho Influence of Mquor—1 challenge which was not socepted. Ho then asked tho mecting to ratify once more the action which thoy had tuken at provious meotings, and declaro again that they * WOULD NOT WORK WITI NON-UNION MEN; that they would be peaceable and orderly In all futuro proceedings us in the pust; would keep freo from intoxleation, und hold thameclves aloof from tho pucking-houses as much 28 posst- ble until tho matter botween thom and thelrlate omployors was settled, ‘Tho meoting by « show of hands unantmously indorsed the nctfon of the previous mecting. Mr, Maurice Howler followed in a brief epeccls ine similar strain. + PRESIDENT DENNIS O'CONNELL thon addressed tho iceting, his appeurance be- ing grected with hourty cheers by tho crowd, itwforring to the meoting, ho suid that {ts _mem- bors came from the North, South, Hust, and Woat, and that tho great favor ho hid to sk of thom was to keop within the bounds of the law, and to not in tho future asin the past, as bonor- ublo and peacotul eltizena, with u determination and firm resolution to carry out thelr abject fn a Proper manner. Io was happy to be uble to toll thom that in avery fow days the pickers would accede to tholr demands. They (the packers) could not heip doing so. Tho present season af imict- fvity was costing thom thousunds of dollars dully, and, with contruets to OM and mortgages staring them in tha fuco, it was Iinposaibie for thom to hold out more than two or three days at the tongest. Ho bad a plan In his head which he intended to put In operation [n volue— “Toll us whut it is, Daniel") which be could not At the present divulge, but which he felt sure would bring about that solution of the present: difficulty for which thoy were all longing. In his concluding romarks ho donounced tho cull. dng out of the spoclul constables by thg Town of La} faking the game ground on tha subject held by the previous speakers. * Mr. Powers thon offored tho following : RESOLUTIONS, eae wero adopted unanimously, amid great onthualasm: * Resolred, That wo apply to tho Bunicipal and other authorities. to protect dur fives: frum threaensd cau y the oxcitement ralsed throupls Monopoly in unpoaition to labor! und Reanlved, That. wa racommund to the taxpayers of the Town of Luke to jake hamediato wotion in reyurd spoelal policd that cuuses the taxpayers to pay or day for their aupport and wages, -Dr. Downs followed ia briof address, during which he announced that tha. taxpuycra of the ,| ‘Town of Lake would hold a masa-moeting nt 2 z . 1, OF tha following day In front of the Towns Tull for tho purpose of meking 4 public protest against the falling out of tho special constables.

THE PAST SEASON was only a falrly remunerative one for the owners of tugs inthis harbor, About fifty were engaged in the towing service, and, nl- though the volume of business was larger than for several years past, the “ towing tarlif? was 10 per cent Jower than ever be- fore. ‘Chat Is to say, a reduction of 10 per cent was made on all bills contracted’ previ- ous to Aug. 15, after which date a sul further redtiction of 30 percent from the tariif of 78 was acceded tu. ‘There was a slight inerease in the number of tugs as compared with 1878, and the season of navigation closed Dee, 13 yet several tugs’ were in commission upto Dee. 15, ‘The most notable disaster whieh took place in this vicinity during tho season Was the explosion of the tug C. We Parker, which occurred in the latter part of Qetober, just — iinmediately north of North-Avenue Pler, where! four men were lost, only one hand being, saved. ‘The water In the river has averaged eighteen inches lower than during the previous sen- gon, Which ly owing to the prevalence of heavy western winds and a dry season, A Inrgér number of vessels was engaged In the lumber traftic than ever before, and the business in this branch is extending up both “forks” of the river ut Bridgeport. Last year the city nuthorities did comparatively ittle dredging, although the river needs it sadly at var,ous points, There is about six- teen to elghteen feet of water from the en- trance fo the harbor up to the Buckingham Elevators, and vessel men are of the opinion that, if the Government would construct a ler from abreastof North avenue eastward n the direction of the Crib, the pler so con- structed would serve as_a harbor of refuge during the prevalence of northerly gales, as algo ben protection to the pler at the mouth of ourhatbor, Had such a pier been in place, there is no donbt the schooner Clara Park- er, bound to an east-port shore Heht, would have been saved from Rolng ashore in the south part of this city. Another point urged in favor of such a pler is, that it would prove asafe anchorage for vessels, ns also make more veasel-room Jn the harbor during gales. The grain-earrylng tonnage has decreased at every port on the greatchainof lakes, While the Tumber fleet remains about the same as in 1878, several of the Intter class and of sinall tonnage were lost during theseason. In con- sequetice of the revival in frelghts, there will be a considerable amount of rebuilding done at the more Important polnts,—more so than hasbeen witnessed in many years; but, on the other hand, the actual, inercase in new ton- nage will be small. § new pro- Several tari pellers have been added tothe graln-carrylng rade during the season of ‘79, while the in- erease in the sailing} tleect was very light. A Intge amount of dock frontage has beenadded, and considerable is being done in this direc- Hon nt the present time,—-principally in, the Mud Lake District. ‘The “hulls® which adorned the North Branch of the river for several seusons pust have either been rilsed and rebuilt, or tawed into the lake. The Government had, during a greater portion of the season, a large force working on the pier south of the harbor, in the vicinity of Twelfth street, but vessel men ciahn such works will be of little use to their interest, as tho anchorage is poor, and 9 sandy bot- tom; in other words, the opening in the brenk- water Is too far south, while the opentig should be nore to the entrance of our har- bor. ‘The lumber interest at South Chicago has nunterlally decreased, ns the harbor is a dificult one for vessels to enter, For the botter protection of life and property, It would be well for the Government to place 4 better light on the Crib. There should be at thelenstn third-class order light on this point, thereby being a greater protection to the Crib itself, ns well as makinga distinction between this ght and the one’ at the mouth of the harbor, or harbor light. The leading ship- builders are uctively engaged rebuilding and ropairing vessels, and euch has about as much na can be attended tothis winter, Especially, iy thls true of Messrs, Miller Brothers, who are now running seventy-five hands, and ashione business last season aggregated $100,- HOOLEY’S THEATRE, HAPPY NEW-YEAR TO ALL!
