Cun-Toter Fined. The testimony introduced by both tides indicated that feelins between the striking workmen and those still remaining on the job is runnlnß hlsh. For this reason. Judge Gilmer in passing judgment fined the defendant $23 and costs on the latter charge and ordered the revolver, which Hinkson turned over to the police, confiscated. Although Hinkson admitted carrying the revolver he maintained that it was unloaded and he carried it only for the purpose of frightening any one attempting to attack him, claiming that he had been threatened previous to the time of the incident which led to his arrest. Judge Gilmer delivered a scathing denunciation of those responsible for the carrying of firearms and declared that his position was one of strict neutrality. He further denounced the practice of employers recommending the practice of carrying arms, clubs or the adoption of measures that would lead to violence. He warned both sides about resorting to radical moves and said that severe penalties will be Imposed on offenders. )uiet on Itailroad.

The New York Central reported all men working in the local shops but said the men had walked out at Kankakee and trainmen and shopmen of Elkhart were threatening to walk out. The freight congestion said to be due to the nation-wide strike of switchmen is becoming serious here.
