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. Wo Intend to light nn
aggressive battle , and Aimoiir will either
be hiought lo terms or he relegated to the
position of n dead packer , nol withstanding
ids millions. 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. Having noticed the
published report of remai ks ot Mr. Thomas

The discrimination against Aimour it Co.'s

by thepackeib thnt Aimour's and Kovvler'f
houscu will be icadv to kill cnily next week ,
but the packing company will not care todr
so. ' 1 hey say they ha\u whcd all over the

As they say there Is nothing to aibllratu 01

proved of the tact that they ha\e been
brought there and would contribute toward
keening them tin-re. They afforded a pro

It was false thnt ho was in the way of an

In company with other packers ho
had made a revolt againM what he

denied. Armour expressed svmpathy for
the men locked out , and expressed fetir that
the stnke would end In bloodshed.
Harry.nd he was nnaWn to

JticiiMOXi ) , , Va. , 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. Them Is icason to believe that
these black lists me Interchanged among
rnilioads , thus making It difficult for men
discharged by one ioid to get employment
on iinotliei.
At tlie altcrnoon session It was decided to
hold the next annual convention at Minne
apolis In October , 1S.S7.
In the evening Fiank Wilklns , chairman
of the slate executive Hoard of thu
KnUhtsot l/.Oorot Wisconsin , telegraphed
as follows to J. K. Chatlleld. Milwaukee :
"Inseit In all labor papers and adveittse in

\VASin.soro.v , Oct. 15. [ Special Telegiam
to the Btu : . ] The state dcpaitiiicnt Is hardly
out of one tiotiulo bcfoto It is In nnollicr.
Just when Hajari ! had gotten Sedg.viek

out of sight , GrcviiUjnm tin 113 up once moiu
nt tliu Samoan Islands. When Giccnbauni
was appointed consul to Samoa ho lull for
that place before the senate continued him.
While he was at the post word cnino to tlio
statHdcpartiiicnt of his peculiar conduct , and
It was tliniiL-lit , of couise , his nomination
would bo withdrawn fioiu this senate. Hut
It was not , ninl lltmlly the senate did con Him
him , the slnUMlep.n tmoiit not telling It of
Greenhaum'.s action. Kin advices again
came to tliu deputme.nl of his peculiar
acllons In Samoa , so that when he inlonucd
the depaiimunt that ho Intended to come
home for n vacation llayard told
him to come hero.Vlien \ he
did come , utiuiit two months ago ,
Sec.ietiuv Bayaid inlonucd him Hint Ins
coiiuiil.vlua had been withheld , and that he
was e\picted to it-sign at once.
Gti-eiib.uim asked tor tlino to go
home to San Kianclsco to prcpaie
lib icslL'tintlon , and this was granted. Meanwhile -
while Seeietaii Bayard appointed Mr. Hates ,
of Uelawuie , a legal envoy , a la Sedgwick ,
to piocced to the Sumoan islands niul
btiait-'hlcn out the damages done by Gscen-
bauin. The department waited lor Gieeii-
haum's resignation , but It c.ime not , and
ntiiilly Hates leached Samoa , llo found
Crt'enbatiin already there , installed still as
couiiH-1 and lefusing to pive up. The state
department was dumb loundcd when they
lieaid that Gieenbuum had placed them
false. The dlunitj of the august dcpaitiiicnt
was Insulted , but \\liat to do they did not
know. Grcciihaum .still held on. Dates
> egan to investigate and discovered that a
Kienchnian had died In Somoa and lelt an
estate , and ( iiccnbaum , as American coiibtd ,
had been aiiponikd iiilmlnisliator. The
reason he was selected was because the
American nation was supposed to bo ttie
most Iriemlly to Fiance and the. Kiench had
no lepiesenlative theie. liate.s continued
Ills investigations and tound that Gieen-
j.ium had been unlsiilhtiil as trustee to tin *
estate and had mlsappiowiate.d some of the
funds. The state department was iioiihe.il
atouci' . Then began a conespondence be-
iween Hates and the dcp.utmcnt which has
harr.is.sed the secietary gicatly. The ollicial.s
aie. veiy cautious as to what they say. They
icknowledgo thetaettli.it Greenuaum was
appointed tiustee , but .say that they can sav
no iiioio about the matter. The state depait-
ment is , however , negotiating through Hates
tor a settlement of the estate. While peiiiaps
the United States could not bo held legally
to account for ( iii'onbaiiiu's shortcomings ,
the department thought it would be best lor
the United Stales' honor to settle the little
matter out of Unelo S.im's po-ket without
any luss. The dep.utmont hoped to do so
without Its gaining publicity. ( ! rcenbanm ,
It Is said , is still in Samoa , and is just about
