SAN THANCISCO , July 31. The Examiner
says this morning ; Among the passengers
who arrived on the Gaelic yesterday was E.
M. Ilycrs , a rich Iron manufacturer of Pitts-
burg1 , who came In company with Dr. Samuel
A. Hoyd , a physician who has lately been
traveling with him. According to the
stories circulated , nyera had tor some time
been abroad because of 111 health. In fact
some stories held that ho was not In his
right mind. Besides this , as was stated ,
Dyers' brother , who Is his partner In the
Iron business In Plttsburg. was anxious to
keep htm abroad , there being $2,000,000 con
cerned In It.
According to the story , Dyers was
shanghaied from his home In Pitts-
burg two years ago. Ills wife was In great
grief , and besought the brother to give her
Rome clew as to her husband's whereabouts.
This ho would not do. She then engaged de
tectives , supplied them plentifully with
money and urged them to use every endeavor
to find him. They , through their agencies ,
searched throughout the United States with
out avail.
A year ago they succeeded In locating him
In Japan. When the detectives arrived
there , however , Dyers was gone. The de-
tcctlvo sent to bring him home followed him
to Australia , China and to the Hawaiian
Islands. The sick man was ilnaily again
discovered In Japan. The wife's detectives
found out by this time that Dyers' brother
had been using detectives , and furthermore
that he had a doctor engaged to travel with
the missing man. Necessary legal papers
were procured , and Mrs. Hyers' detertlvcs
took the Invalid In charge and started back
with him. All went well till ho reached
Honolulu. There the detective em
ploy od by Djers * brother endeavored to
prevent their coming any further. Ho suc
ceeded In getting away , however , and there
was no more trouble until Dyers and the de
tective arrived here yesterday.
After some trouble between detectives rep
resenting the different Interests , Dyers was
taken cast on last night's Overland , thwart
ing the efforts of his brother , who was trying
to set out a habeas corpus.
Mis. Byers had her husband taken from
her In a peculiar way , and by the same
brother. She had followed him when he
had been spirited away , and was attending
him in his illness. She stepped from the
room for a moment , and when she came
back he was gone. The doctor In attendance
had been bought over by the brother , and he ,
with the attendants , also Influenced by the
brother's money , disappeared with the hus
band.

fact that there was little wind prevented
a general conflagration. ,

H now seems certain that the packing
house strike will assume hrger proportions
than was at first anticipated. The general
opinion was that the workmen wcro not or
ganized ami that the walking out of a/ few
of the men Would end the trouble. TJilnga
have UKen a different aspect within the
last twenty-four hours , and It appears that
If the forces In the several houses arc not
thoroughly organized they have an excellent
understanding among themselves , and know
how to act In concert. It docs not now np-
pear Improbable that all ot the men em
ployed In thp licuses here , from the skilled
worklngmcn down to the ordinary laborers ,
will be out by Saturday
The strikers now numb r fiOO , the situation
becoming more serious at 9-30 yesterday
morning when 100 union hog butchers
Joined In the strike and quietly walked
out of their working rooms at the 0. II.
Hammond plant. These men did not make
any -request or demand , but simply walk d
out. '
When n Bee reporter called at the mana
ger's olllco and made Innulry as to the
ctusc of the walkout , he was Informed that
no roiuou whatever had been given by Iho
men The company IH under the Impression
that the 1 OR butchers struck through sym
pathy for the beef butchers.
At the Hammond phut all the woikmcn
ire well organised In fact. It Is said that
the hog butolurs In tlo other lionrea do not
bclon _ to the union , and It was for that
reason that they did not go out. An hour
iftcr the Hammond hog butchers went out. a
meeting wits held , and a written proposition
sent to the hog butchers In each ot the
other hoiihcs. The proposition was for the
men to walk out , and as fast as they could
go through the Ceremony , they would be Ini
tiated Into the un'on. ,
GO OUT AT CUDAHY'S.
The first result of this action was that
In the aftern on the hcg butchers al
Cudnhy's went out. Wh n the mm stopped ]
work for lunch a session was held and II
was decided to quit. Nothing was bald to
the foreman until all the men were ready ta
go out In a body. They then simply salil
that they would be back "lat.r. " But they ,
did not come and those who da not report for
work at 7 o'clock this motnlng will not bo
rclint-ited. Manager Cumeron had his men
make out the time of all the men who walk deut
out and If they do not show up for duty they ,
will be given their time when they da come ,
The strikers gay that the hog butchers at
Swift's will go out today. Seme of the men
wcro asked about this and refused to dis
cuss the matter It U als > predicted thai
the botio trimmers will not be at work totliy ,
Strong pressure Is being brought to bear
on the union laborers to glvo the r support
to the butchers. The Magic City Federated
Lalxr un'on has a membership of 300 , all
packing house employes , and there is a
Bohemian ! . < lge of the same ordjr with
membership of 200.
LABORERS HOLD A MEETING.
A meeting uf the labor union was held
last night and lasted ihit'l a lute hour , but
It Ib announced that no definite action will
be taken until Friday night , when It Is ex
pected tint an agreement will bo reached
among all classes of employes at the packing
houses.
"Tho laborers are really the men who
have the biggest kick coming , " said on
of the striking butch"rs. "Tho lowest
wages paid them Is $1.50 a day. but the ma
jority of them get $1.GO. They only get
paid , however , for the exact tlmo they put
In. They do not g ° t any guarantee and oj
late some of them liavo only been getting ono
and two days a week. In fact none of tha
men have been getting In anything like liv
ing wages. Some duys wo work one hour ,
some two and occaslomlly four. Last weeli
I averaged two and ono-half hours a day.
If the men werb getting In guoil time there
would have bten no trouble. The bossea
keep a much larger gang than Is neces
sary and when there Is any work they rush
It through with two whole gangs In a few
hours , where a smaller gang could make
good wages by putting In a f vv more hours.1' '
Men who were butchers a good many year.
ago , but who have almost forgot en all they ,
over knew about the business have beeit
called Into nervlce. Even Manager Foster
was on the beef killing floor with his butcher
knife carving away like a trooper. The high !
salaried manager teemed to enjoy the novel
ty of his experience and got In as full tlmo
as the next man. They killed bo h cattle
and hogs.
At Cudahy's the buyers and bosses and
the butchers who refused to walk out killed
400 cattle. None ot the union butchers who
wont out have gone back to work and It I *
not likely that any ot them will do so until
their requests are compiled with.
It was claimed by the men who are out
that four men wcro dlKcharged at Ham
mond's because they refused to go from the
hog department Into the beef-killing rooms
and fill the places of the men who ha < J
struck.
AT THE OMAHA HOUSE.
At the Omaha IIOUHO nearly 2,000 hogs wera
killed yesterday So fai there has not been
any talk of strike amom ; these men. A'
hog butcher at Cudahy's slid , however , that
the Omaha butchers would go out when the
proper time cime.
Telegrams were recelv d at the CudahyJ
olllco last evening , whch stated that the
packers were not having any trouble with
their buteheis , cither at Kan a-i City or
Chicago ,
The receipts of hogs at the stock yards
yesterday weio over 20,000 , but the bulk ol
them were sold before It was generally ,
known th it thi hog butchers were out on
a strike.
"What are you striking for ? " was asked
cno of the Cud.ihy hog butchers last oven-
"For restoration of our former pay1 wag
the reply. 'A law w .ks URO our wages
were icduoed 20 per cent and we want tha
company to Increase uur piy that much ,
A committee w 11 wait upon the management
of the co-npany tomorrow with a proposi
tion , und 1 bellrvo It will be accepted. "
Other men vvhu went out were asked what
they stiuek for , ami they ald they didn't
know. They were asked to walk out und
they went. That was all I hey know about
It.
When the manager at Hammond's vvaa
asl < ed If lui had been rblo to get all tli
butcher ! ) ho wanted he tcpllcd that tha
company proposed to Keep on killing cittla
and hogs an long n they could be bought
on the market If the liousex are tending
to Chicago and elsewhere for men to takq
th places of the Htrll.crn It Is not yul
known. The beef killing now is being dona
by buyers , busses and the c/mpuratlvelyj
few butchers who refused to walk out.
