Chicack, April 2.-One 'thousand
packing houso men by a unanimous
vote deeded to go out on a strike
Thursday unless their request for an
eight-hour day should bo compiled with.
Tho announcement of tho volo wa fol
lowed by deafening cheer.
Tho first speaker, John McCullmign,
laid that tho packers owned tho labor
or, liody and aoul,.8lnce the last strike
and that now, when an effort wa being
matin to shake off tho colls that bound
them, they should tnko advantage of
tho opportunity and embrace it quickly.
President O'Nell In an Interview ufter
the, meeting said tho men hod an or-
jcuMiuiuuii ui ,uvu memrier and wero
being backed by tho Chicago Personal
Right League nnd tho Federation of
Liibor. March I they had sent a letter
toouiry packer at tho yards asking that
a eommlttee bo appointed tu confer with
a llko committee from tho union to dis
cus tho eight hour day move. Only two
howaea responded. All effort made by
Congressman Lawler met with
no better result Ho had not yet
despaired of a hearing and wa
atlll endeavoring to arrange one. In
any event, Wednesday tho packer
would be nerved with a demand for thn
dght-hour day and an Increase of -Ji'
cent an hour which would lenvo a day'
wage less than at present Thursday
a strlko would ensue In ull house not
making the concession. Kmployrnent
ho said, had been very unsteady, there
lteing cases where the men did not ob
tain sewn month In tho year, tint
averaging but S4 a week.
President O'Nell nserted that the
man who held tlto key to tho situation
wa Philip I). Armour. Tho wicker.
Including Mr. Armour, argued that un
der tho eight hour system they could
not compete with Kansas City. Armour,
ho contended, did not have to compete
with Kansas City, for at that place he
hud a virtual monopoly.

Loxnn, April 3l. The Herald pub
lishes the report of an Interview had by
one of It representative with Prince
ltlsmarck. Tho ex-Cltancellor aald ho
would not if It wero in his power, In
terfere with tho workingmen In any
way on May day, nor would ho dis
play any anxiety, which only increase,
the aggressiveness of thn agitator.
Socialism, ho said, would yet cause.
trouble In ficrntany, and tho man who
would yield to that element to prevent
a manifestation was a coward. It wa.
sometimes an act of benevolence to shed
the blood of the riotous In defense of
the law-abiding. May day waa aot a.
dangerous enemy, and the naming of it.
for aa assault ought not to be dreaded.
It would only bo a sham fight like tho
battles of tho Salvation army.
