The strikers make a complete denial of all the charges. The tltlo of the case a "The Cudahy Packing Company and Others, complain ants, against Stephen Vail and Othera, de fendants." The answer of the defendants la: First The order to show cause should not have been made, for the reason that the affidavit and the amended affidavit upon which the motion and order la baaed are Insufficient, in that they are not sworn, to positively, nor do the same state facts sufficient for the defendants to make an swer thereto.

Little If any change Is to be noted In the packing house strike situation. All of the packers with the exception of Cudahy have secured additional men. Two oars were sen to Swift, three to Armour's and one to the Omaha. These new arrivals are taking the places of men who quit of their own volition or are discharged for various reason a "We are weeding out the good from the bad," say the packers, "Just the same aa we would be doing at any other time, only perhaps on a more advanced scale Just now on account of so many worthless men having been sent ua at the outset of the strike," Of the men secured twenty-seven for Armour's were cellar men direct from Duluth. The balance of the men came from Kansas City, Chicago and Wichita. All of the packers reported everything running along smoothly. It la estimated that 1,950 men are now working In the plants, exclusive of the office forcec. Live stock receipts Thursday wera 1,900 cattle, 11.000 hogs and 1,200 sheep. The nonunion men and women going to work at the Cudahy plant met with the usual reception at :30 a. m. Thursday, but as the union men did nothing but Jeer at the strike breakers, the police did not In terfere. After this little play waa over the crowd dispersed quietly and even the pickets withdrew, leaving Q street de serted, with the exception of the deputies. The Incoming trains carrying strike break ers were not Interfered with at alL though a few strikers gathered to watch the cars pass through the yards. Only three ar resta were made Wednesday night, a small disturbance having been started by a man considerably the worse for liquor. After the saloons closed at 9 o'clock the streets were soon deserted. SHERIFF OX'lETS THE DISTCRBANCE Warns Strikers lie Will Call Militia. If They Become Violent. After a day of unusual quiet the strikers engaged In a slight demonstration of their displeasure In front of the Swift plant yesterday evening. The driver of two wagons containing cots for Swift's were hooted at near Twenty-sixth and Q streets and for fear of vjolence the drivers turned back to police headquarters and asked for an eeeort. By the time the wagons re turned with Sheriff Power, a number of hla deputies and a detachment of poltoe the crowd of strikers numbered about 600. There was no offer of violence, but the peace was being disturbed by the hootlngs and Jeerlngs of the union men. Sheriff Power appeared In the crowd and as soon as he could be heard gave the strikers a good common Sens talk. He said he was In South Omaha for the pur pose of maintaining order and that he pro posed to do his duty. "If you men want the mllltla here I wish you would call a meeting of your unions and vote on the question," said the sheriff. In case you decide in favor of soldiers I can have troops .here within six hours. You must understand that I am the one to say whether tha mllltla cornea or remain away." The sheriff further said 'that unless the union men wanted the mllltla they would have to take hold and assist him In keeping order, ss he had sworn to do his duty. This talk quieted the crowd and ths wagons containing the cots were taken Into Swift's without any further disturbance. Before the crowd scattered a half dosen men who let their enthusiasm get away with them were given a ride to the city Jail In the 12, 1901..

Sheriff Power accompanied the wagon. At the Jail the men were not booked, but listened to some good advice from the sheriff. After the lecture the striker were told to go to their homes and not place therriselves lrv 'H"-'position again where the sheriff would be compelled to deliver another lecture. The men thanked the sAerlfT and quietly left the Jail. With the police the day was a quiet one, only three arrests being made, and these for minor offenses. Packers' purchases Thursday were 1,267 cattle, 6,100 hogs and 3.000 for shipment, and 1,684 sheep. Live stock commission dealers do not like the present condition of affairs. Shipments are coming In at a much greater rate than the packers can take care of here. Some stock Is being sent each day to Chicago and Kansaa City. The commission men want the ship pers to hold back until the market is In better condition and the packers are In position to take care of more live stock. Notice to this effect are being sent to ahlppers all over the territory tributary to this market. Encouraging news continues to be re ceived from the leaders In Chicago and the union men here are as confident as ever of winning, the only question being the length of time' It will take to cripple the packers o that the old men will be an absolute necessity In the operation of the plants. The 9 o'clock saloon closing order still con tinues In force and aids the police greatly In lessening the crowds on the streets.
