The mob of men congre- gated outside on the railroad trac nd their shouts for their brethren to drop thei tools and join them drowned the shriek of the locomotive, Armour’s men were true, however, and rofused to quit work, Failing to get the men o quit the crowd went to B.

Everything has been cle up, the men having performed their work, and all Looks well for a long and hard cam- paign. Thisafternoon, evidently by preconcerted action, all the men employed by the follow- Ing stock yard pac! tirms refused to work and joinad the strikers: Armour & Co., John Morrell, J. T.

There are between six and seven thousand of them, making about eight thousand in all who struck during the day. Some of Mor- Till’s mer rgoing out decded to return 1o work. The strikers at once invaded the place to compel them to quit. Quite a riot ensued and_the Lake police were Summor, to quell it.

It is thought by the pork men that if the beef men ean be in- duced to £o out and the entire system is para- Iyzed it wall assist them materially and belp to bring the packers to a realization of things. Just what the men propose to do is a conun- drum not easlly solved.
