CnicAno , Oct. 15.-Special [ Tele ram to Hie Br.i : . ] The opinion Is general that a long and blltcr striiL-glo between the packers and employes at the stork yards Is Inevitable. The ordering out of Armour's beef men Is looked upon as the pinna ! for war , All at i ! tempts by Delegates Hariy and Butler to ne gotiate or compiomlsc the queHtlonsraised bv the strike have signally failed. The pack era have not shown a disposition to discuss the matter In nn official manner and the stiikcrsnro disposed to reiciird this treatment In the light of a challenjc. After the meet ing of district assembly 57 early this moinlng Mr. Harry cnhl to a reporter : "We have formally declared war on the big poik speculator and It \vlll be war to the knife and the knife to the hilt. 1 shall uot to Richmond now before the con- \entlon adjourns and jou may depend upon It that Armour'HiucatstliroughouttheUiiltcd ' States will be an unknown ciiantlty | In less than tlnce months.

As tar as the men aie concerned , \vcslmll take care ot themicsldcs ( the closing down of the Industiy here dors not of neces sity do awa > with it. The demand Is bound to lie supplied elsewhere If not hcie. " Illus trating inu general feeling among the packers , one ot the most prominent ouc.s said to a icporlcr when npproachcd on the subject. "We won't submit to any system but that of ten hours foi a day's woik at the ten boms' pay. In other welds , an unconditional sur- icnderoi nothing. I attended a meeting nf imekcr.s theotherday when the matter was fully dlsciis-ed. Green hands wilt be hired and biokcn In lapidly. This can ho easily done , but of couise it will take time to till all places. We , as an a'-so- elation , intend to start big conceins again llrut. Wo ha > c ailvcitlsed lor men all over the country , and alicady men are beginning to come In as a result of these amende" . Armoiit and the Anglc-AiiK'iicau will be running With full forces next week. This will win our battle. When those two houses me running lull-handed the light Is piactl- cally won. Wo can easily lav up for a few- weeks , or months , for that matter. Ten hours we will liavc and we don't want to see any committee either. II the men wish to leturn on that basis they can do so as indix ( duals. " The opinion ol this packer was read to othcis and pictty gcneially indoiscd. Thegieal tight between the employcis and emplojes of the slot'k yaids has assumed nioieseiious propotllnns. Aimour .fe Co. aie to make the test case and establish the pieccdent of which shall have the siipicmacy labor or capital. Allcfloits at a compio- mlso or even consultation with the packers having failed , tliostiikcin met last night anil decided to call out the bed butchers and the result was about one thousand live huudicd men quit work. Immediately a committee of men weiito\er to Aimonvicualr shops , at Foity-nltli street , near HalstiMil street , where between titty and sev.-nty men aie eiuplojed. Thej went in , had a shot t talk , and the men quit in a bodv. nil , including the machinist ; , going out. The engineers nt Aimoui's also quit woik this moining. New men continue to nirive houily , and this inornlnir the Lake Shore dummy brought over two loads to Armoui's hoiibe. On the lost tiip , about 10 o'clock , the ti.\In was blocked all the way down from Forty-seventh street , freight Kirs having been lutt on the side ti.icks and swltclie.s in such a manner that thn train couldn't pass. Ulti mately the men were compelled to get out and walk. The new arrivals all enter by the tear entrance , and Immediately go to work. From tlio icgularltv with which each house luliigH its quota there Is little doubt that the packers have agents oat hit Ing men. The new comers are looked an contemptuously by the locked out men. and they aie called " 1 hosiers I" "Scabs 1" "Mossbacksl" and other choice names. It Is estimated that Armour has twelve bundled of them at work. The scale of wages whlcli the packers offer their men is as follows : Scaldeis. 3:1.00 : and 54.00 ; seraoers , Si.'ir ; ; shovers , sS.OO ; mess nork trimmers , S--S ; mess poik choppers , : i.OO : trimmers , S'J.25 and SJi.ofl ; cellar men , $1.7.1 and J'J.'i'i ; lank men. 51.73 and S'J.i'i ; coopers , SU.OO. This Is on a basis of ton houis' iiay for ten hours' pay. Cudany cxnressed some surprise that the men should blame Armour for the trouble. Nelso Moiils denies the Htatementciedlted to Him that the affair was n move on the pait of Armour to drive Swift and himself out of the trade , and Unit ho was endeavoring to dilve nil the tmslness tram Chicago to Omaha and Kansas City. The following document , addressed to "Thn Public , " was given to the piess to- nUht : CincAno , III , . Oct. 15.

When the gen eral assembly ot the Knights of Labor went Into session this moinlng at t ) o'clock the lirst business to be completed was the elec tion of the remaining Kcneial otlicorx and two members of the co-oneratlve boaid. It was expected that this would take but a short time , and the consideiatlon of the icpoit on the revision of llio constitution picscntcd by thecomn.lttee on law would be u'sumed. This. In tin n , was to.be loll , wed bj reports fiom other comii'ltlccs ' , neat l.v all of which are readj to report. Amoiu the Hist to be presented Is the report ot the committee on tlio state ot the older , of which Ralph HOau- niont is chaliman. This lepoit eiidoiscs the icpoit of the committee on legislation , of which Beaumont is chairman , and iccom- mends that the supplementaiy repoit of the same committee , In which apian foi a con- giess composed of icpicsenUtlu-s ol the Knlghtb of Labor bo established at Was'ilng- ' ton. he sent to all local assemblies tor their approval. Mr. Heaumont is dally in receipt ol leltcis both from Knights ot Labor and otheiH commenting Ills idea. Tim commit tee on the state of the order also en dorses the penciai mabtcrworkman'.s address to the geneial assembly and iccommends tlio endorsement of the repoit ot Charles H. Lichuiau , special agent appointed by the genem ! mas ter workman to icpiescnt the order before the congressional ci.mmiitcc appointed to In- vestisiao tlio cause nnd ellect of the south- woi ; ctn railway shines. In his lepoit Mr. Litc.liman recites that the hearings weie held \aiiousplaces in Texas and Arkansas , and sa > s : "The testimony in bcliidl ol the lai road was mainly to show what great damage had been caused by the striKc to tlio laihoad pnmeity and com merce , that il had uten begun on a frivolous pit-text without leal cause , and that the older ot the Knights ol Labor was dlicctly responsible lor all the damage done and all tint acts ot violence couiiiiittcd With the unlimited ii'somecs at their command , it was compiiativcly easv I or the lailroad olllcials to c.iielully drill theli witnesses in a line ot statements which .should lit eacli other , and this pitlimiinii1 } drilllnir was painluUy an- paient In the teHliimmy iriven. Like a lot ot parrots they all re-echoed the statement that the only cause they hae ever heard assigned foi the strike was the dl < ; liaigo of a man named Hull , of Maishall , Te.v. The lin-l business of the ucncr.il assembly this morning was thoconipletlnnof the list of geiieialofllocrs by the election ot li T. C. Schlleber , ol Massachusetts , and L M. Bioiighton , ot Raleigh , N. C. , as mimibeis of llio geiieuil co-opoiativo bo.ird. David K. Gibson , of Hamilton , Outw.is elected Can- dian .supply agent. His duty is to icceive supplies of piiutcd documents of all kinds in bulk and distribute them to the local assem blies throughout Canada. This completed tlie full corps ol geueial olllccrs and their in stallation immediately lollowed. Powderly , addressing tUo general assem bly , expre.ssetl full conlideiice in the men elected and pledged him..ell to tliu faithful performance of the duties entrusted to him. He uiged upon the assembly the Impoitance ol tempciaiice and asked them to endeavor to impi ess thn Impoitauce of this subject on I he various local assemblies. The geneial master woikman installed all the olllcers elected. None of them made speeches. Tlio following resolullon was presented by Delegate Hairett , of Pennsylvania : WHKIIUAN Hepoits have been circulated and Impressions been cieated by tlie press of the country icgardiug the imsltion of tlio Knr.'hts ot Labor upon the question of social equality , and WiuitiAs : , Wo believe the wclfaie of the order In tlio south icqiilies that this general assembly take such action as will dispel tlie.se wrong impressions ; therefore. Kcsolved , That tlie oigaui/atlon of the Knights of Labor promises civil and political equality ot all men , and in tlie broad Held of labor. It recognizes no distinction on account of color , but It has no purpose to Interfere with or disrupt social relations which may exist between the dltlcieiit laceH in tiie vari ous poitions of tlie country. This lesolutlon was adopted without de bate. Dining the dav the committee on the state of She ( nder recommended the endorsement of the icjiort of Charles N. Lltchman , special agent appointed bv the geneial master work man to iciiiesent the older before the con gressional committee appointed to Investi gate the causes and effects of thosouth- wcstein railway strike. The leoort reviews botli sides of the question at considerable length and says It Is easy enough now to make Maitin lions a scapegoat and say he 01 doled tlie stiike without authority , but the truth Is that every local assembly voted to give the tltstilct board power to demand an adjustment ot the giievaiiccs complained of , and tliu lelnstatemeut of Biother Hall. Among the Interesting facts developedlnthecoui.se ot thu Investigation was tliu existence of a black list uuou which weie placed the names of all persons dis- chaiged.
