Striker* Finally Dispersed—Policeman Shoots a Striker—All A. It. V. Men Oat ut Anderson—Trains Tied Up at Valparaiso—Other Strike News. Chicago, July Every policeman on the south side was called into service yesterday afternoon when word was received that there was a blockade on the Kock Island road at Twenty-fifth street. I A dozen cars had been thrown off the track and behind the obstructions were three passenger trains trying to get into the city. Thousands of people surrounded the trains and 'the aspect beI came bo threatening that the railroad 1 officials sent in the call for policemen to disperse the mob. When the mob first attacked the train at Twenty-fifth street there were but a few policemen there and they could do nothing with the strikers. At Twentysecond street there was another gang which attempted to throw a freight car off the track. Guarded by Soldier*. While trying to disperse the mob and prevent the strikers from carrying out their purpose, an officer was struck on i the head with a stone, thrown by one of the crowd, and seriously hurt. Rein-, 1 forcements arrived and the mob was dispersed. Over 200 policemen then patrolled the tracks and crossings and protected the wrecking crew which was en- < gnged in replacing thj derailed carson the track. This was not accomplished until nearly 7 o’clock last night when the first train started for the city. It tooved out slowly. In front there was an empty i freight car. Then came the engine ' which was guarded by 35 United States ; soldiers and as many policemen. The | remainder of the train consisted of j coaches which were filled with police- | men, soldiers and railway officials. The other two trains followed a short distance behind, the last train having a mail car attached. Mailcar Cut Off. Assistant Chief Kepley was on the first train and as it proceeded he ordered the , extra policemen to go to Sixteenth street j where it was thought another attempt . might be made to obstruct its passage, i No further trouble, however, occurred, ; but the mailcar attached to the rear of j the last train was cut off at Eighteenth 1 street by some unknown parties. As this train was not so heavily guarded as , the others the absence of the mailcar was not noticed until the train reached i the Van Buren street depot.An engine 1 guarded by a squad of police left immediately to bring the car in. The most j urgent <-all after the one from Twenty- J fifth street and the Rock Island tracks was for men at Thirty-ninth street and the Chicago and Eastern Illinois tracks. ; This call was sent out by General Manager Egan, who said that a mob was in control at that place and the police were unable to handle it. Policeman Wounds a Striker. The mailcar which was cut off at Eighteenth street was afterward , brought into the city. It was found at j Eighteenth street where it had been j detached. The officials, who were on the engine, wanted to have two day coaches brought in, but the fireman and engineer refused to go back for them. The mailcar was thep brought into the depot. \ In two instances there was bloodshed. On the Western Indiana tracks a hard ’ pressed special policeman fired at his . pursuers, wounding a striker in the leg. | On the Rake Shore road an official of that company in charge of a train which he was endeavoring to force through emptied his revolver point blank into the massed strikers about him wounding two or three, it is believed. The small detachment of United States troops spent the entire day iu an at- i tempt to move a single car loaded with beef. All sorts of tricks were played on them by the strikers, switches lieing turned and blockades made to stop the progress of the car. Deputies Almost Cause a Riot. Two deputy United States marshals almost created a riot at Thirty-third street and the Pan Handle tracks last ; nfght, two men being shot and painfully j wounded. About 12 o’clock two deputies named Eugene Keck and Michael McGann went into a saloon at Western avenue to get a drink. There was quite a crowd standing around the place at 1 the time and the deputies were hooted | at. When they came out someone be- | gan throwing rocks at them and the I deputies pulled their reVolvers anu be- I gan firing. At this time there' ws a large crowd around them and Henry Roehr and August Ross received bullets in the arm and leg respectively. The shooting attracted the attention of the police and the two men were arrested. By this time the crowd was thoroughly enraged at the action of the deputies and there were threats of lynching them. They were guarded, however, by the police who finally landed them at the station. ' Went Out This Morning. Memphis, Tenn., July 6.—The Little Rock and Memphis employes at 2:80 O’clock this morning decided to strike. The men went out at 6 o’clock this morning. Attorney General Olney telegraphed the United States district attorney to prepare an omnibus injunction against all strikers today. Guarded by Troops, Trinidad, Colo., July 6.—A. large number of trains ou all roads moved yesterday. The American Railway I union has elected new officers to take the place of those arrested. The tunnel is guarded at either end by troops. May Not Go Out. Frankfort, Ind., July 6.—When the word was received here that the trainmen at Charleston, Ills., had refused to piove the Clover Leaf train# it was

feared that the strike on that line would be general, and that the men in this citg, the main division of the road, would go out, but such did not prove the case. The American Railway union han a lodge in Frankfort of over 800 members, and while the men here are in sympathy with the strike, it is not now believed that they will leave their work. VICTORY FOR STRIKERS. Man In Charge of the Towerhoa*. at Ilarninond Join* Them. Hammond, Ind., July B.—-The strikers gained a decisive victory last night when, at 8 o’clock, U. G. Thomson, who has charge of the towerhouse at the crossing ( of the Michigan Central and the Nickel Plate, Monon and Chicago and Erie railroads at this place, announced his intention of going out and joining the strikers. This wli'ft done after ho had opened all the ground rails so that any train attempting to pass over , the crossing would be derailed and rnn 1 in the ditch. A few minutes after he had gone out train No. 5 from the east over the Michigan Central arrived. Before it could pass over the cyossinp Station Agent Mallett closed the switches; and spiked them. This delayed the traih’ for over an hour, and many of the passengers got off and took the streetcars into Chicago. Dragged From Tlielr Engine*. Detroit, July 6.—Two nonunion Wabash engineers arid their firemen were dragged from their engines a mile west of Delray last evening by strikers. The engine men were operating locomotives on outgoing and incoming passenger ; trains respectfully. The engineers and I* firemen were roughly handled, the engineer of the outgoing train being severely beaten. All four were nonunion men sent from Indiana to run the engines. After being dragged from their j posts they were started outward and pur- ' sued till out oftsight. Fires at Litchfield. Litchfield, Ills., July 6.—This city was the scene of six fires yesterday and either the striking .railroaders or people in sympathy with them are accused of incendiarism. The Big Four freight house had a narrow escape, being set on ! fire presumably by the same parties. I The officials of the W abash claim to have I clues to the perpetrators. Trainmaster I Cotter asked the mayor for police protection, but he flatly refused to grant it, i saying the corporation was supposed to ■ furnish their own watchmen. Riot at Spokane. Spokane, Wash., July 6.—The Northern Pacific passenger train arrived here yesterday under an armed guard of deputies. A crowd of 500 strikers and sym- ' pathizers gathered at the depot. Last 1 night the crowd started a riot. It ditched i four engines and wounded three depuI ties by throwing stones. Ex-Policeman i Martin was severely wounded on the i head. The men are growing more violent and serious trouble is feared. Emblem of Sympathy. Buffalo, N. Y., July 6.—Thousands of workingmen are wearing white ribbons out of sympathy with the strikers. This emblem, which was designated by ■ President Debs, made its first appearance here yesterday and the stores sold an unprecedented quantity. Some of the larger unions of labor have bought and are distributing the badges free to their members. Deputies to. Go to Rawlins. Laramie, Wy., July 6. —A train of 12 cars, the mail and passenger trains- consolidated, arrived here last evening from j the east. United States Marshal Rankin i was on board with 10 deputies. The I deputies are for use at Rawlins. The two engines attached to the train here last evening were fired by tramps. Went to Work. Bloomlngton, Ills., July 6.—The Alton engineers who were in session at Roodhouse adjourned after appointing a ’ grievance committee to go to Chicago and confer with Chief Arthur and Genj eral Manager Chappell of the Alton. Pending this conference the engineers voted to return to work. Two Passenger Trains Tied Up. Valparaiso, Ind., July 6.—Two passenger trains on the Fort Wayne road, with 150 passengers, and one on the j Grand Trunk, with 250 passengers, are sidetracked here with orders not to move until further notice. No trains arrived from the west yesterday. All Ont at Anderson* Anderson, Ind., July 6.—The local branch of the American Railway union received ordered from President Debs,to i order out all members of the union. In ; accordance 25 switchmen, trainmen and ; baggagemen quit work. Mail train No. 23 was detained an hour. Famine Probable. Fargo, N. D., July (k—The situation ’ in the strike stricken towns west of I Fargo is growing decidedly serious. No I trains have went west from here for 10 ; days and provisions are running low in ' many places while prices of all edibles are soaring skyward. AT OTHER POINTS. Everything at a Standstill at San Francisco and Sacramento. San Francisco, July 6. —The seventh day closed with the blockade more complete than it has been since the strike. At Oakland not a wheel is allowed to turn. Sacramento, July 6.—The strikers have been reinforced by 250 armed men. They created no trouble, but said that the railroads would not be allowed to break the blockade. Portland, Or., July 6.—Everything is quiet here. No interference by strikers. New York, July 6.— The strike is causing delay in the arrival of trains from the west. Cheyenne, July 6.—The Union Pacific sent a train west from here last evening, using nonunion firemen. Ashland, July 6.—There is not a wheel moving on the Northern Pacific. Duluth, July 6.—Everything running here. Denver, July 6.—The blockade here is broken. Negro Lynched. Memphis, Julj- 6.—George Pond, a negro charged with attempting to crimi- : nally assault a white woman, was hanged | by a mob at Fulton, Miss.

PLAN TIIAVOID STRIKES LII » Mr. McGann Preparing a Scheme With That End In View. r. « ARBITRATION THE BASIS. Employe-. Under the Proposed Meosnre. Will Bign Personal Contract* With Employer* — Question Being Studied by Senator* Doings of the House-MRher News of the Capital. Washington, July 6.—Representative McGann, chairman of the labor committee of the house of representatives, is ,-preparim' a plan for avoiding strikes which he will soon present to President Debs of the American Railway union, to President Gompers of the Federation of Labor and to the heads of large railroad , and otlx /corporations employing labor. , Ms. Rict.Vn does not contemplate a law, but a contract between employer, and employed, by which each will agree to submit diff-rences to arbitration. Mr. M' (ianu says that his experience! at the head of the labor committee has ! shown him tiiat few federal laws of any | value to labor can be enacted, owing so I the constitutional objection that con-1 gress and .he federal government can i legislate only on 'ihterstate questions, i and most strikes are wholly within state j hues. Mr. McGann believes that a con- ! tract bet vo n the parties will be more i effective t han a law and he is drawing j up'a rough form of such contract. May Do Away With Unions. It is advisory, and will be so submitted | to the conspicuous labor leaders and em-! ployers, but Mr. McGann thinks it will recommend itsejf to them. To. the contract is to be a prerequisite to any employment. It will recite that the parties will avoid strikes and other radical means of remedying abuses by agreeing to refer all disagreements to an arbitrator or to a board of arbitra-1 tors, each party naming one and the two naming the third. With this contract in existence arbitration would be assured in advance of a grievance arriving and no strike could occur without a breach of the contract by one party or the other, which breach, in Mr. McGann's judgment, would turn public sentiment against the one to break the agreement and thus compel him to accede to 1 the arbitration contract. Mr. McGann says that the general adoption of such an arbitration contract would give individuaf rights to each laborer and would thus tend to do away with unions. It would i also aid the employe in avoiding the loss from strikes. ALTGELD’S REQUEST. He Wafits Federal Tyoops Withdrawn - From Illinois. * Washington, July 6.—The following telegram was received by President Cleveland from Governor Altgeld of Illinois:' lam advised that j-ou have ordered federal troops to go into service in the state of Illinois. Surely the facts have not been correctly presi-nted to you in this case, or you would not have taken t his step, for ft is entirely unnecessary and, as it seems to me, unjustifiable. Waiving all questions of courtesy, I will say that the state of Illinois is not only able to take care of itself, but it stands ready to furnish the federal government any assistance it may need elsewhere. Our military force is ample and consiscwf as good soldiers as can be found in the country. John P. Altgeld. The president replied as follows: Federal troops were sent to Chicago in strict accordance with the constitution and Idws of the United States upon thedemand of the postoffice department that obstruction of the mails might lie removed, and upon the representations of the judicial officers of the. United States that process of the federal courts could not be executed through the Ordinary means, and upon abundant proof that conspiracies existed against commerce between the states. To meet these conditions, which are clearly within the province of federal authority, the presence of federal troops in the city of Chicago was deemed not only proper but necessary, and there has been no intention of thereby interfering with the plain duty of the local authorities to preserve the peace of the city. Grover Cleveland. WHY IT VtAS REVOKED. An Imlianian’s Pension Taken Away After an J by the Local Board. Washington, July 6.—One of the Indiana representatives called at the pension office a few days ago to present the protest of one of his soldier constituents who had been dropped from the pension rolls. The man had applied for a pension in 1865, but his claim was not allowed until 1891, when General Ranm granted him a pension of $8 a month for general disability under the act of 1890. Several of his neighbors had forwarded affidavits stating that the soldier was totally incapacitated for manual labor, in fact, a physical wreck. The indisma congressman demanded an explanation from the pension bureau why his constituent had been suspended, and when the proofs were shown him left jierfectly satisfied. The report of the local board of medical examiners, on whose recommendation the pension was dropped, after discussing every vital organ of the man’s body and declaring each to be “normal,” wound up with the statement: “This man may be suffering ■ from i ilisease known in Indiana as ' ‘laziness,’but this is the only disability' • We have been able to find.”Mr. Wilson Returns. Washington, July 6.—Represei tativo , Wils; a returned yesterday from the sick bedo: his wife at their home in West Virgi da and at once took up the tariff work Treasury Cash Washington, July 6.—The cash balance in the treasury yesterday was SI 19,i 079,8. >. of which §64,742,735 was gold reser; St at Bufflilo. Bui falo, July 9. —There is no doubt that President, Detjs has planned a strike at Buffalo, but there is considerable I doubt as to whether he will be able to bring Ins plans to a successful issue. -.y * —
