o TWENTY THOUSAND MEN OUT The Employes of the Ohicago Packing Houses Again on a Strike, ALL QUIET AND ORDERLY. A Prominent Packer's Opinion—Prob- ability of a Long Struggle -Pink- erton Men Ag DBeing Brought Into Requisition, A Grand Walk Out. CuteAco, Nov. 6.—The execulive com mittee of the Knights of Labor Issued an order ordering all men employed in the pack- ing establishments at the Union stock yards in both the beef and pork packing depart- ments to stop work at 3 o'clock this after- noon. It was ascertained that Knight ofe Labor Barry, who was sent here during the last strike, is at the yards, He is accom- panied by another representative of the knights, Armour & Co, commenced killing beef at their old house this afternoon. The firm declared that many of their men re- turned to work. The hog killers employed at the International Packing company’s house went on a strike at 2 o'clock this after- noon, ‘The strike became general shortly after 3 o'clock, All the men in the great houses of Fowler Bros,, John Cudahy, and nearly all of Armour's men left their work by order of thie executive board about 4 o'clock this after- noon, There were very few men left in the yards. Oneof the prominent packers said: “Lam ready to shut down sixty days if all the other packers will do the same. The strikers then,” he said, “would have a good opportunity to rest all they wanted to.” Itis notexactly known what policy the packers will now pursue, but it is understood they will at once advertise for men to take the place of the strikers. The demand made on eliall of the men, it is understood, was _that eight hours should constitute a day’s worl the men agreeing to adopta 10 per cent ro- duction in their present wages, Fourteen thousand men stopped work in response to the order, but it is estimated the order indi- affects 6,000 to 5,000 more, morning a local niper published an v with Nelson Morris, of the packing tirm of Nelson Morris & Co.. in the course of which it appearcd that Mr. Morris exhibited a contract with the butchers as- sembly of the Knights of Labor in which the latter agreed to viork wen hours per day, the same being signed by the members of the ex- ecutive board of that assembly, ranville Sawyer, memberof the executive board of the cattle butchors assembly, Knights of Labor, denied positively to-night to an Associated press reporter that any order from the gen- eral assembly ordering Packingtown em- ployes out had been res ed. Such an order, Il issued, would necessarily come through his board, hé said. Mr, Sawyer said also that not more than 500 or %0 men were now out and they had acted on their individual responsi- bilities in quitting work, There secms 1o be indications that the strikers ot packingtown are weakening, A careful review of the situation to-night re- that the contract referred to in these dispatches between Nelson Morris and the executive board of the Cattle Butchers’ as- sewmbly, though not signed by p s of the second'part, was tacitly accepted by them and went into effect Monday morning. This i8 admitted by two members of that board, while another to-night denied any knowledge of the contract and said no order to strike had been_ issued by the general executive board and claimed that not moe than 1,000 men are_out. [t is learned from the Chicago Times that fully 10,000 men are out, among them being the employes of every packing house at the yards, Vely few of Armour’s men are oit, however, the strikers being mostly emploves of K Bros., Silberhorn and the Chicago Packing company. ‘Thereis a difference of opinion among émployes as to the_authority of Dis- trict Master” Workman Butler to.order a strike, some claiming that such action lies in the province of the general executive board. 70t 08 sald that the steadier and cooler headed «of the employes are very ch opposed to a general strike, while the movement 1s chiefly agitated by restless characters and so-ealleid hoodlum element. There is nothing what- ever in ihe natwe of a disturbance at the Half an hour after closing [ an employe was to be seen about the yards. Fatal Affray in Georgia. MoNraomeRy, Ala., V.

A coroner’s jury was summoned at once and a thorough inve tion was made, over a month being oceupied without developing any facts other than that the remains of Emily were entirely consumed oxcept portion of the pelvis Richard Bascomb being a large man his body liad not entirely consumed andthere portion of his suspenders and ¢ hering to his body, which wi that e had not gone to bed before the fire oc- curred and that a murder had been commit- ted. ‘The coroner’s jury rendered a verdict that Richard and Emily Bascomb had been murdered by a person unknown. Susplelon ed from the beginning on Jefl Long and rnest and Eugene Meyer, all neighbors of the Bascombs, but there was not proof sufi- cent to justify any arrests until the grand jury met last February, when indictments were found against Erncst Meyer and Henry Tederman_for killing the Bascombs, and against Jelf Long for procuring and abetting the killing.
