TWO BIG HOUSES AFFECTED. The Men Hound to Have Eight Hours or Hxtrn 1'ny An Attempt to Cull Out Armour's SI en Pa I In l > vcrj tlilni : I'cnccnulc. Cntllo UiitoliorH Out. CutcAoo , Nov. 1. [ Special Telegram to tlio BMJ. : The strike of rOM , men at the slock ynrds tills morning was not tnucli of a surprise I'jthor to tlin packers or the public , us it has boon expected and predicted present. The trouble only concerns two houses , those of (5. V. Swift & Co. , and Nelson Morris. They kill no hogs mid the men who are out to-chiy are beef buthurs mid lugjer.s. Swift A ; Co. and Mortis each employ about 3,000 men who am united against tlio retutn to ten hours u day. They claim that If the packers had shown any Inclination to increase their pay the matter could have been passed o\er. Not n weld has been said about pay for the extra two hours and the men are out for the purpose of bringing thn houses to an nnder- fltandlng. The strikers aic under excellent discipline and pence prevailed attheyaids nil niornltiK , though Idle men were Katheied In latgo crowds In alle > s and about the packing hollies. None of the other pack inghouses nru alTecled and It Is thought that trouble will not spread. When the butchers ntiuek this morning they rushed over to Ai- iimur's and tried to net the men thete to go out. The crowd btoke thiough tlie watch men but Armour's men "stuck. " They wanted no moie "strike In theirs. " When It was clear that they eonld not pet the Armour men out the crowd left In an oidcrly way. There Is a feeling ol uulot satisfaction , noia word of which Is expiessed , but which Is no less apparent among the packers who had to make the ten hour light last month that Swift and Nelson Moirisaro getting a hott of.io\\anl for playing double then. It was not until Delegates Butler and Harry found this out that It was known at the jards that Swift and .MoilIs were "carrying watci on ) Ktli shoulders" they were secretly very much pleased when the men walked out at Ar- IIIOIU'R. The latter's tioubles are oxer now and ho can watch with complacency the Hctlloment of. thu troubles of the other beef houses. 01 in.u i-AiiTicn.Ans. CHICAGO , Nov. 1. The threatened strike among b et men at the block ynrds com menced this morning , and nearly six thou- B.inil men are now out fiom the slaughter houses of ( . ! . K. Swift it Co. . nnd Nelson Moi- rls. The trouble Is over the adoption of the ten hour si stem , the men refusing to work two extra hours without additional Dav. In these two houses there aie no lions killed nnd the employes saj thev cannot accept the ten hiiui system. Kuch ol the lirius employ about . ' 1.000 men , and at present many of them are conuicgau-d about the streets and on the corners near the big houses , but theie Is yet no indication ot any tiouble. There Is n gieat deal of excitement , but tin ; men are orderly and insist that no act of thcli.swill pieelpltate any tiouble. There Is no Indica tion that tlie police will be called upon to protect the two houses , but it Is yet too earlv to deteimlne the Intention of the two tilms. At 11 o'clock eveiytlUng was quiet. Kmthei particulars fiom the stock yards strike are to the effect that Swill's men sent a committee to him Satmday and insisted on having an Ineteaso ot litty cents n day should thn llrm leturn to the ten houisjstem. This moiiiing when the beef butrhcis went to work they found that Korenmn Welder , of Swift's had discharged Jamo ; Afatthcw- hon , ono of the committee men They also found that the wages of the laboters had not been incieased , so they stiuck. Thev insist now on havlni : Mnttliewsou leln&tatcu and nlM ) the return to the eiirht-hour dav. On lieaiing that Swift's men were out. the beef bntclici.s ocmploycd by Nelson Moiris went out. The croud went down to the Smith machine shop and compelled the men there to strike. After this they went to Armour's for the purpose of calling his men out , but tills move was anticipated by the Him , who got u force of police to guard the prlncip.il entrances , and the crowd was kept away. ' 1 ho stiikers have arranged to hold u meeting dining tlio day. Amemberof the cxecutho committee told a repoiter that unless the two linns gave In all the emploves in the yards would be called out. Between two and Unco hundred ni"M in Ilhby , McNullI < k Lllmv's canning establish ment also went out. The reason alleged was that Molds' establishment pnitlv supplies tlio ill in with beef. A meeting of tlio Milkers Mas held late this afternoon. No one except Knights ot Labor were admitted. Fully ono thousand non-union strikers congregated on the outside , anxiously awaiting the action ot the knlshts. Several .speeches were made , and wild applause gicctcd every lefeience tu the oighMiour dav. A motion to makr no compromise on'anything shoil of eight hours was carried by a nnairimoiis vote. A committee was appointed to take charge ol tlie strike and given full power to act. A Kulvht of Labor explained to-night that the men hml been offered tlio lolnslatemiMit ol the discharged man , hut would now hold oul lor return of thn eight-hour Hvslem by all tin lieef houses , Unsaid tlio prnmlrtois vvouh hoghcn till Sntmday to decide what thej would do , and if they ncislsti-d In tunning ten hours a geneial stilke would piohahlv In oidcrcd. which would include Swift's , Mor rls' , and also Armoui's slaughter houses.

The prisoner was .a powerfully built j onng colored woman who answered to the name of Rachel Mackens. She had been employed as cook in tlio family ot Mr. Vernon , manager of the llljon opera house. Mr. Vctnon was the complainant. Ho said that when he returned to his homo fiom the theatre last night ho heard n nolso on the roof mid some ono shouted "nuuderl" mid "helpI" Hurrying Into the house , Mr. Vernon went up to the roof nnd there found the servant , who was rolling nbout as if mad. As soon as tlio woman saw him she rushed towaid him , shrieking , "Police 1 Police ! Ah , I've got yon now I" Before Mr. Vernon vvasavvarooflt the vvomnn had spuing upon him , and , grasp ing him by the throat , threw him dow n. Her gtip wasso sliongthat Mr , Veinou was un able to call tor help , and a totrilic struggle followed. Slowly but surely the fren/.ied woman , who had stopped shouting and w.is now struggling silently , cairled her employer to the edge ot the loof , informing him that she was going ( o throw him over Into thu stieet. The house Is a fotir-stoiy nnd high basement btown stone. The struggle that had taken place was mere child's play to what followed. The grip on Vernon's throat was slowly but snroly weakening him , and ho felt that he could not hold out much longer , when a ttiumnhant ety from the wommi showed that they vveic at the edge of thoioof. One moie effort was made on Mr. Vernon's pmt to imsh back , nnd the woman elaxcd her hold , while her employer ell backwaid over the edge of the roof. Foitunately for Mr. Veinon there was n net worlc of telephone and elec tric light wiies just below the coi nice , and these saved Ills lite. Tlio wires held him and : ie was enabled by a superhuman elfoit to te- galn the root. Tlio woman stood near tlio edge ol the coinlce with her hands clinched. In a. moment she renewed the attack. By souio means the struggling couple managed to reach tlio s-tittle 'ending into tlio house. Down they went , 'milling lietcely at each step. Through the muse they fought to the front hallway. Mi. Veinon opened the door and they reached the stieet and ) cries of "HelpI' brought two policemen , ho.spnut . the next live minutes ineaptutlngs'.ws Intuilatcdctent itle.
