CHICAGO, November 9.—About 9000 men
reported for work at the Union stock yards
this morning. Everything is quiet; no
disturbance of any kind has been reported
to-day. The soldiers started on their
rounds at 5 o’clock and patrolled the entire
district. Most of the men who come to
the yards are brought in by the train.
There were no assaults on them as far as
known.
Chicago, November 9.—The names of
Swift A Co., Morris & Co. aud the Union
Stock Yards and Transit Company were
added to the agreement adopted at. yester
day’s meeting of the packers, which de
clares that hereafter no men belonging to
any labor organization will be employed
by them. The paper has been signed by
all the houses doing business at the stock
yards ns well as by the stock yard com
pany. The first excitement of to day at
the stock yards occurred at 1 o’clock this
afternoon. At that hour word was sent to
the headquarters of the deputy sheriffs
that their services wore needed at Forty-
third and Ashland avenues. Fifty deputies
immediately hurried to the place and
were immediately followed by four com
panies of militia. An investigation was
made, and it was found that four deputies
who had been left to patrol an alley in the
vicinity had been fired ou by some un
known parties. The fire was returned but
the aggressors escaped.
Chicago, November 9.—With the excep
tion of the mysterious shooting at one of
the deputy sheriffs this afternoou, t..e day
at the stock yards has been uneventful.
There are between 3000 and 4000 men at
work. There was very litle disorder. The
strikers early discussed the resolution of
the employers not to allow any man to re
turn to work on any terms or for any num
ber of hours unless he had foresworn his
organization. The militia mounted guard
within, and the sheriff's force and Town
of bake police preserved peace as best
they could outside the yard. Several iso
lated cases of assault took place aud a
couple of houses were stoned, but no or
ganized mob violence or resistance to au
thority took place. Gen. FitzSimmons
and 800 troops of the first brigade seemed
to thipk to-aay that their Btay in Packing
Town would-not;-be so brief nor so pleasaut
as some of.them* had anticipated. A cold,
drizzling rain fell all 'day, ami
those who. had been assigned
to early morning duty; :lglt it most
keenly. Wearing their blue oape over
coats and small fatigue caps, the pickets
wherever stationed tramped back aud
forth in mud and slime. Those who were
young olerks down town did not regard it
its an agreeable occupation, t his soldiering.
There were rumors this afternoou that
General Master Workman Powderly had
been-requested to come to Chicago and use
hi* best effbrts to effect a settlement be
tween the packers and their strik
ing employes. It is known
that Barry is ; in constant
communication with Powderly, but wheth
er the general master workman has con
sented to come west cunnot be ascertained.
Barry came into the city to day and called
on Mr. Boteford, of the packers commit
tee. He asked whether it was true
‘•that resolutions had been passed insist
ing that the striking Knights of f<abor
should renounce their order as a condition
precedent to being re-employed?” Bots-
ford replied that such was the case.
Barrv Baid very little else and loft.
The" majority of the strikers seem
to rejoice over the resolutions against the
Knights of Labor that have been adopted
by the packers. “I think we were in the
wrong when this last strike was ordered,”
said one of the lenders to a reporter to-day.
“but the packers by their outlawry reso
lutions have put us in the right. Yester
day the general assembly of the knights
could not consistently take up our tight,
to-da.v and from this on they will be bound
todo battle for us.”
“Our order has been attacked and every
officer and member must stand up for us.”
“Will Powderly coine?” the speaker was
asked.
“I don’t know,” he replied; “but i think
he will. If he does not he will send along
several of his most trusty lieutenants. We
are being victimized; being told that we
must forswear ourselves, and he must do
something decisive and do it promptly.
This thing would be laughable if it weie
not serious. Thousands of men will starve
before they will agree to the humiliating
conditions forced upon them.”
Barry has a dispatch from Powderly, m
which the grand master workman re
pudiates all interviews on the strike, and
offers to send assistance to the representa
tive of the executive board here if he needs
it. The railroadB are helping the packers
in every way, as a speedy close of the strike
is of the greatest possible moment to them.
All the roads coming in here are offering
to bring workmen here and transmit them
free of charge in case they are dissatisfied.
At Armour’s down town offices about
fifty men were out in the hallway
awoiting transpoitatlon to the
houses at the yards. About
100carpenters quit work at Swift’s to-day.
A Bhort time ago the firm gave them an
advance of 25 cents a day and nine hours
work. They stopped to-day, however, and
joined the ranks'of those fighting for eight
hours. . ...
The following no ice was issued to-day
by the Knights of Labor: "Notice—Butch
ers, mechanics and laborers are warned to
keep away from the stock yards, as the
men are on a strike. By order of the com
mittee.” , ,
The master workman of the butchers
assembly, Sylvester Gaunt, has resigned
his office because of his inability to satisfy
the men, and because he is thoroughly
dissatisfied with the actions of Bai-rv. But
ler and Marshall and several members ol
the assembly agree with the master work
man and the assembly seem to be in a lair
way to be entirely dissolved.
A Council’, Resolution.
Charleston, November 9.—The city
council of Charleston adopted unanimously
to-day the following resolutions:
“Whereas, in view of the •mysterious and
sudden calamity which has befallen our
city, and which has been so bravely nier
by all our people, there is urgent need for
renewed exertions to extend the commerce-

no more potent influence to achieve this
desired end can now be exerted than by
the all powerful agency of the government
of the United States in the rapid
completion of the jetties now in progress,
through which means Charleston will be;
come a deep water harbor, now regarded
as the prime necessity in extending the
commerce of this natural outlet and em

A THOUSANDWOMBN IN BLACK.
Brussels,Nov. 9.—-One thousand women
dressed in black arrived here to-day in a
body from Charleroi to petition for am
nesty to the men convicted of participation
in the labor riots of lust March. The wo
men had arranged to march in procession
their wav towards the sections ' llon “J' 1 aminged tomarchfn procession
where the socialists arranged to assemble. ! from the railway station to the legislative
Battalions of police proceeding by differ- chain bers. Ihc burgci niastei, however,
police proceeding by
ent points received hearty cheers from tho
people. Tlie streets of the city and West
End present a remarkable appearance.
All the shutters of the shops are drawn
and barricaded and iron railings are guard
ed with stout timber. Banks and other
buildings are secured in a similar manner.
These precautions arc not confined to
buildings on the route of the lord mayor’s
procession, but extend to streets far re
moved, The suburban police and reserves
have been posted at prominent points and
a large military force and nil the house
hold troops uro iu readiness, if
their assistance is needed. At
11 o’clock a force of police occupy
the north side of Trafalgar square. Shops
in tlie vicinity are cUmed and the doors
and windows of jewelry establishments
heavily barred. Hundreds of students
armed with sticks have ^gathered about
the square. A crowd of loafers arrived
and were allowed to proceed to the en
trance of the square. There they were
met by a double line of police and turned
into the strand. Tbe mounted police
cleared the roadway. The throng at Tra
falgar square is increasing to vast propor
tions. Tho polide keep admirable order.
Sir Charles Warren, commissioner of the
metropolitan police visited the square this
morning and indicated the positions to
which policemen should be assigned.
A trifling encounter occurred in Trafal
gar square at about noon. Thu mob, about
800 strong, marching in a body, wbb baited
by tho police and separated. Tho police
then cleared the square, and pushed the
crowd towards the Thames embankment.
There the mob halted, and hooted and
groaned at tho officers. Throo hundred
medical students inarching five abreast,
and armed with heavy bludgeons', pro
refused to permit this, but allowed the del
egation to present their petition at the city
hall. The women were greeted at the rail
way station by u great crowd who cheered
them heartily.
ON CHANGE.
The Msi-kst AtTrctml lo the bailor Troubles.
New York, November 9.—The stook
market to-day, while somewhat less active,
presented tlie same general features that
it has for some days past. The labor
troubles in Chicago and London were im
portant topics of conversation, and the
effect Was principally to restrict transac
tions. Foreign interests sold a little stock,
but not enough to materially affect prices.
Fluctuations were narrow,especially in tho
usual active list, nnd Jersey Central, St.
Paul nnd Union Pacific were the only
stock coining under that head whioh dis
played any fife. Richmond and West
Point was the most active stock, especially
In early trading, when it made a
handsome advance. A few of the inactive
stocks were advanced sharply, among
which were Memphis aud Charleston, Vir
ginia Midland, and Oregon Improvement.
Mobile and Ohio also became prominent
in the afternoon. With the stock of the
bituminous coal companies opening tame
and inclined to heaviness, the declines
from the closing figures of lost evening
were from 9 to while u large proportion
of the active list remained unchanged.
There was a moderate business in the first
hour, and in early dealings prices were

The Life Guards were drawn up and form-- again steadied but remained witbont foot

shutting out the East End socialists.
The Life Guards in passing through
Victoria street Wore saluted with
groans by a small knot of roughs. But the
majority of the collected orowds watched
their progress in silence. Two socialists
called upon Sir Charles Warren to-duy and
requested an answer to their letter of yes
terday, inquiring why the proposed soc-la
list demonstration had been prohibited.
Sir Charles referred them to his proclama
tion, which ho said wouf,(^ give them Ih.-

points. Home of these waved red flags.
The square soon became a scene of exeite-
ment. Recognized socialist lenders man
aged here and there to gather around them
groups of men ready and willing to listen
to speeches, and although most of the
harangues were inaudible at any distance
from tlie orators,' yet expressions and
phrazes were often caught by the mob and
used as topics of heated debate among the
auditors themselves. In this way the vast
crowd was soon divided up into
NUMBERLESS EXCITED GROUPS,
each stirred up by its own spokesmen aud
all independently noisy and excited. The
police did not attempt to interfere with
the rush of the mob into the square, but
formed a strong cordon around it. Among
the speakers who addressed the groups
was Williams, a socialist leader. He spoke
from the foot of the Nelson monument.
He declared that the populace would show
they could hold an orderly meeting to let
the public know the amount of distress
which at present existed among the work
ing men of England. Another speaker
said, “All tbe power of the country was in
voked ta prevent us from assembling in Tra
falgar square. Our reply to all this is that
WE ARE HERE .
I do not desire to use rash language, but
I mean all I say. We want food, work and
dwelling places for all, and all will have
them. The socialists have pledged the
unemployed of London that they would
make tills demonstration to-day to con
trast before the world the extreme pov
erty of London’s unemployed with the
extreme wealth and plenty of the city’s
upper clnsses, mid the socialists have kepi
their word. We have given this answer
to Hir Charles Warren. Resolutions ofthe
proper kind will be adopted and they will
tie sent to the Marquis of Salisbury aud to
Lord Churchill, ana they will be compelled
to listen to them. The socialists will con
tinue their work until every vestage of
tyranny shall be swept away. Our organ
ization is the only oue which daers to take
the proper position on behalf of tbe poor
and oppressed. We are not here to break
the peace; we are here to agitate in a
peaceful manner for work for all and over
work for none.” Resolutions asking the
government to provide work for the unem
ployed and to reduce to eight, the number
of hours constituting a day’s work, were
carried amid loud cheering, and the group
! which adopted them and which hud by
this time absorbed pearly all the multitude
reniaining in the square dispersed,
cheering for the promised social revolu
tion. Most of the people who had com
posed this audience at once went away.
Others loitered about and joined various
tL:ongs attracted to the Seeiiu. A number

declining the office. An exami
nation of this kind, I am told,
is treated ns a sort of entertainment
given to the commissioners by the official*
of the road subjected to the examination.
Free.rides in palace cars, free quarters at
