Stockyards Strike Called Off in Chicago
The Chicago butchers strike, which crippled the meat packing industry nationwide, was officially ended at midnight on September. Union president Michael J. Donnelly announced the cessation, with many workers expected to return but many unable to reclaim old jobs. About 53,000 people were involved, costing workers roughly 5 million dollars in wages while packers faced about 7.5 million in losses. Workers returned under prestrike conditions.

Goldfield Strikes Prompt Rush to New Camp
The Mining and Scientific Press notes sensational reports of gold strikes in the Goldfield district of Southern Nevada. The piece warns the rush will spur population shifts as prospectors seek El Dorado, while existing hills see less prospecting but may yield new discoveries. Railroads and water access will drive ore shipping, keeping profits despite high freight and reduction costs.
