Dele- gates Butler and Barry, who came from the Knights of Labor convention at Richmond at the request of General Master Workman Powdetly to try to effeet a compromise, were seen by a reporter at the Transit house shortly before noon. Mr. Barry said the men were willing to work eight hours for eight hours’ pay, giving a guarantee that they would work ten hours when necessary and receiving pay for the extra time at the same rate, ‘T'he men’s liearts were set on the eight-hour scheduls and they would do al- most anything to insure its permanent adop- tion. On the other hand the packers seemed to be determined to have the ten-hour system in foree and to be willing to do almost any- thing to secure its retention. Barry sala he had it on reliable authsrity that the packers whose names were on the ten-hour notice were under bonds of 850,000 cach to stand by the action of their organization. He pro- posed to submit affidavits to the assoclation to show that “Armour had been playine fast and loose with the other kers,” About 6 o'clock this morning 200 Poles from Kansas City, Omaha and Milwauk were brought to Armour’s packing house by the Fort Wayne road, and immediately went to work, ‘This makes about 500 men who are at work at Armour’s, ‘They are working ten nours and receiving ten howrs’ pay. A large number of new men have taken the strikers’ places at Fowler’s, and are working with closed doors. Tne beef loaders at Armour’s who struck Monday returned to work this morning under police protection. Later they refused to work under the police, and the latter were removed. The gang of men who arrived at the ds this morning and began loading beef cars on the Panhandle road nave disappeared mysteriously.
