This morning the employes of the Cliicago PackIng - Ing nnd Provision company gatlien-d at tlio house at nn eaily liont. 'llieyhnd no Inten tion of resuming work undo ! the now ten- hour rule billed lo go Into elTct Monday , tlie probable Intention of which was to see how the men would stand. Tlioy decided , after n brief talk , not to accede to tlie proposition of the pickcis to letnrn to ten hours. The de cision was icgardcd as llnal nnd unanimous , Mid when it became leeogni/ed as such the men wentwlhl wlthcxclte'iicnt. ' They assem bled outside and matched down on Aunour's 1,500 stiong , ypllinir nnd hooting. Their In tention was to compel Amour t Co.'s men to go out wltli them. The excitement In nnd about Armour A : Co.'s house for a few min utes was intense. The mob of men congre gated outside on the railioad tiacks nnd theli shouts for their liiethien to diop their tools and join them drowned the shriek ot the locomollv e. Ai motir's men were true , however , and H'fuscd to null woik. Falling togettlip men to < iult the crowd wont to B. IV.

This afternoon , evidently by preconcerted action , all the men employed by the follow ing stock yaid packing trims refused to work and joined the .strikers : At moiir A , Co. , John Monell , J. T.

The piesencc oL the police uiul I'inkerton men seivcd to pre sent any roirtiwai ot the distuibanci s. Uho picv.illing impression niiiong the la- boieis is that tlio packers can bii "bested" in this nglit , notwithstanding tlio fact that they have tire financial backing. ' ' 1C we can only stick togetlipr , " said n knight todayvc - will \vin thu light In a month , If not sooner. " Aiuioui A , Co. aie bitterly denounced by the laborers ns thu cause ot this new move of the packers. 'Ihupicscut and past season has been the mostpioiltablc for the packers and theli employes tor maiiv yeais. The summer preceding tlio gieat strike of IbT'J was a most prolitnblo one nnd the pist season resembles It greatly. Many of the men have neglected to mvo up a penny foi a rainy clay , and It is more than probable , accordingly , that many will cntci tlm lockout Monday with oniv the money they will draw Satuiday. Ot'rer- ' > have not been BO reckless and have husbanded their eainings with ono eye to tlio future , and can now \ery well stand the lockout. The question causing tlie greatest discus Fion is in relation to cattle butchers and men working In beef houses will the pork met : allow them to w ork ? A number of butcher slid this motning that they weie perfectly satisfied wltli ailalis , ccUjne nil they asked for ten hours' pay ior eight hours' work , Their inteiests did not'clash with those ol the hog men , and foi that reason the latter would not ask them to go out. The preccdcni has been established some yeais , and by thli It Is proposed to go. It Is tlionght by the pork men that If the beef men can bo in duccd to go out and the entlrosystem Is para lyved it will assist them materially and lieli to bring tlie pickcrsto a realization of things Just what tlio men propose to do Is a conun drum not easily solved. Many think that 1 would bo advantageous not to aiipoar Moil day lor duty. That pccullai deslio to set how things tire going will ceilalnly nttrac them , and it Is supposed that ri.OVO men wh bo M'i'n Monday In tint pack Ing dlhtilct without the slightest Interi tlon of clolni ; any work am not allowing any oiitsidcis to do it , and it I ; more than pinbablo that tlio lockout will nebo bo very old when the beef houses will b. . closed by the poik men , tlreentiiosysten suspended , aim 20,000 men out of vvorli What Iho men hope Is that they will not b I troubled w 1th an early and cold w Intel.
