'where little knoisof malcontents gathered, became boisterous and were finally scat- | • ■ tere.d by a charge from the police.

A coal train on the Eastern Illinois was i- ditched at Root street by a switch being j ;;'riiisplaced after the engine and four Cars ■.;.: had passed over. : •:':;l'he work of clearing the tracks in the i .Grand Trunk yards at Forty-ninth and i - • AsDlaiid streets, where debris from thou- j • : gauds of burned cars littered the tracks, • •.'was com pie to-day under police and military protection, the monotony, how " .ever, being enlivened by occasional police rallies when the gatherings of idlers watch ' Ing the work became too large and threat . ening. :-;At4 P. M., when the finishing touches . -had been put on the work, nearly all the ] - - onlookers had disappeared, and the troops, •'. laborers and police were withdrawn. No . ooner had they got well out of sight, how- ', •• ; ever, than a gang of 800 men suddenly ap- j ". pea red, and with crowbars and shovels! ■ Lore up about an eighth of a mile of the ; track. They fled before another charge of the police, and the work of repair is again .'. being pushed forward. Hammond, Ind., adjoining; the city -.-.;' on the southeast, was the theater of the ! ; day's greatest excitement. Here the riot .-.. . ing of last night was resumed, and finally - became so serious that a company of '■•jjoltei States troops went out there, i ..They preserved peace for several hours,! : but the mob increased in size, ana finally ; became demonstrative, so that it necessi- \ :• : tated charging on them by the troops, with I •"'■'the result that one man was killed, two | badly wounded, and a number of others ! ...'. received serious injuries. Everything at •.Pullman was quiet to-day. - Riotous mobs consisting of men, women ■ - and children took possession of the freight ■ : yards at Hal;tea<l, Morgan and Meagher •"'streets this afternoon. They burned cars - and tad everything iheir own way for ••; nearly two hours. All of the reserve force - of police officers on the west side had been .•detailed to the yards of the C. li. & Q. and the Wisconsin Central roads early to - day and nothing lay in the path of the ' frenzied strikers and their friends. -Shortly after 3 o'clock John M. Egan at . the general manager's headquarters sent ' the following message to Chief Erenuan: "Is there no way that we can secure The Morning Call. ! protection from the mobs in our yards? ! I They are burning cars and destroying j I other property in the yards at fialstead, ' Meagher and Morgan streets, and not a policeman can be found." Chief lirennan at once transmitted the i message to the inspector who detailed a j ! squad of thirty police officers to the scene j :of the desturbance. The Fire Depart ment had been called out on three dif- ' ferent occasions, each time to extinguish flames in freight cars. Thirteeen cars were burned. Tne mob gathered about I the firemen when they arrived in response I to an alarm and greatly interfered in the j work of extinguishing the fires. The ar . rival of the police had but little effect. The bluecoats were hooted at and pelted with stones. The crowd numbered j nearly 2000 and was made up of the . touebest element of the city. Well ; known thieves and other desperate men ■ whom the police of Maxwell-street station j have considerable trouble with mingled I in the mob and took an active part in the | disturbance. The police finally made a | determined charge and drove the mob to I the adjoining station aDd from the freight yards, clubbing the leaders freely. The , police remained on duty all the afternoon | and the strikers were kept from doing further violence. The mobs commenced to collect early i this morning In the yards of thn Chicago, i Burlington and Quincy and at the Wiscon sin Central tracks at Western avenue and Sixteenth street. Threats against the j railroads and denunciation of the police were heard on all sides, and it only re- I quired the move of some leader to start i another conflict. The police, numbering i 150, and three companies of the Seventh Kegiment were on duty all last night, and i this morning when the crowd began gmtb> i ering action was at once taken to disperse it. The men were obstinate, and at first ! refused to move. The police officers used I their clubs with telling effect, and in a ; short time tne mobs were dispersed. The militia was camped in the yards at ; Western avenue, and early yesterday | morning the boys were distributed through j the yards and instructed to deal severely j with any one caught in the act of burning or uncoupling cars. Shortly before noon smoke was seen to come from a freight-car on the Wisconsin Central tracks. Thefire | men were under a guard of police officers, ! and had difficulty in extinguishing the flames. So sooner was the fire out at that point than another was discovered two i block? away. This was soon extineuished. ! Alarms of this sort continued throughout ! the day. During the day another mob went to the yards of the Panhandle xoad at Rockwell and Sixteenth streets, and set i fire to a number of cars. The yards were j poorly guarded by the police, and when the j i engine company arrived its work was hampered by the mob until the police i were re-enforced. At the headquarters of the General Man- i ! agers' Association to-night it is admitted i i that not a railroad in Chicago is moving its trains except under a heavy military or police guard. Most cf the roads are get ting through a limited number of passen j ger trains, but the tie-up of freight busi- i I ness here is complete. At a late hour to-night all is quiet, al though seven groups of rioters have made threatening demonstrations at different points about the city during the evening. The officers commanding the United States forces made public to-night the fol lowing telegram received by General Miles this afternoon : "To commanding officer of United States troops: General Schofield wires that Gov ernor Matthews of Indiana has asked the President that three companies of United States troops be sent to Hammond to dis perse the rioters. This makes your duty and that of tne troops plain. You are to fire upon any mob of men obstructing the line of road and hold the place until fur ther orders. By command of Major-Gen eral Miles." About midnight it was discovered by the police that a notorious anarchist was drilling bis fellow? in a ball at Ashland and Forty-ninth streets, a hotbed of for- j eieners, but they becam9 nlarmed and scattered before a raid was made. John Me Bride, president of the Miners' National Union, arrived in the city this evening, and is conferring with the leaders of the strike. STRIKERS SACK A TOWN. Terrible Destruction Caused by a Mob at Hammond. Hammond, Ind., July B.— A mob of 3000 ; strikers had possession of the town of ■ Hammond this mornin?. They sacked | the Western Union Telegraph office, over ; turned freightcars and committed all kinds :of depredations. There were frequent; I fights, and five railroad employes were : | wounded. It is believed that one of them will die. The outbound Sunday passenger train J from Chicago on the Monon Railway was ; brought to a halt by the mob. The en- I *iueer and fireman were made to dismount : i and the locomotive was quickly killed by ' | opening a valve and allowing all the water I to run out of the boiler. The active leaders of the mob were not the local strikers or known to the Ham mond peode. Under their leadership, however, the town was terrorized through out the night and railway traffic para lyzed. Boldly operating, it had everything nearly its own way. The worst trouble came about 3 a. m, when in a skirmish with railway employes three men were laid low in a bunch. Two other railway men were badly injured in other encounters. The man whose wounds are supposed to be mortal is 11. B. Miles, an employe of the Interlocking Switch j Company. One of the acts of the desperate mob was the burning of a Pullman coach. It was SAN FRANCISCO, MONDAY MORNING, JULY 9, 1894. set on fire in several places simultaneously j and completely consumed. Fully twenty- ! five freight-cars were derailed and tipped ! upside down, but the torch was not ap plied. An unprecedented proceeding in the j strike tactics was the attack on the tele- I graph office. The mob became possessed ! with the idea that telegrams were about | to be sent to Governor Matthews at In dianapolis asking for troops, and the I strike leaders determined to forestall such | action if possible. Entrance to the telegraph office was ef- ! I fected with scant courtesy, and, in the expressive language of an eye-witness, "the place was cleared out completely." < i Since then telegraph communication be- ■ j tween Hammond and the outside world has been cut off completely. Chicago, July B— Early this morning ft Michigan Central in-bound freight train ! was attacked by rioters at West Ham- j mond, just within tne Illinois State line. | Obstructions placed on the tracks brought ! the train to a standstill and the mob ' ENTRANCE TO THE TOWN OF PULLMAN. TOWARD WHICH THE CHICAGO STRIKERS MOVED, assaulted the engineer. The fireman es caped by biding in the bushes at the side I of the track, while the mob proceeded to i overturn the cars, blocking the tracks. An east-bound freight arrived at about this time and was also blocked and the j crews driven from the train. Companies i D and M of the First Regiment, I. ?s. G., < the batallion in charge of Captain Barrett, was dispatched to the scene and the rioters iled across the Indiana State line. Under guard of the militia both trains were backed to Kensington, where they | are now standing. Indianapolis, July 8. — Governor ] Matthews has ordered fifteen companies of militia to Hammond, Ind. All are Northern Indiana companies, except one detachment of light artillery from this city. The number of soldiers ordered out will make 750. The train carrying the light artillery left here at l i>. m. VOLLEYS FROM REGULARS. Troops Shoot to Kill and Disperse a Vast Mob. Chicago, July B.— The rioting at Ham mond, Ind., culminated this afternoon in a conflict between the mob and Company 13, Fifteenth United States Infantry, in which Charles Fleishman was killed, Vic tor Vacter fatally wounded aud William Campbell shot through both legs. A num ber of other people were slightly injured, but were carried away by their friends and secreted, and it will be impossible to learn the exact number wounded. The trouble began last night, as told in these dispatches. The rioters kept their work up all night, burning cars and dis abling engines. This morning they burned a Pullman car. Most ot tbis work was done Inside the Illinois State line, and as soon as the Illinois militia arrived on the scene the m jeered at the troops. About 9 o'clock this morning a great crowd gathered about the Monon depot. Several freight cars were overturned and the Michigan Central tracks blocked. | The Sheriff and deputies were powerless to restrain the mob, and as there was no hope of the Indiana militia arriving be fore late this evening an appeal was made to the Federal authorities in Chi cago, Company Ii of the Fifteenth In fantry was sent out at once. Their pres- j ence quieted things for awhile, and the I blockade on the tracks was finally raised at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, aud several passenger trains pulled through. This j seemed to aneer the mob, and with an in- j crease of number its passions grew to a frenzy. The — '•••»rs were greeted with oaths and shouts of deihion, and volleys of sticks and stones were showered upon them. The men stood their ground, how ever, and kept the mob for several hours from approaching the buildings. By 3 o'clock fully 5000 rioters were assembled, j They had been aroused by their leaders to j a frenzy that made an encounter with th 6 | soldiers certain. Several times they rushed upon the company of troops, but \ were met by fixed bayonets and driven back. At last, however, the entire body of strikers made a determined rush toward the depot. "Make ready— fire!" was the command, and the thirty-five Nprin^fk'cls rang out in response. A second volley quickly fol lowed the surging crowd. The first volley ] staggered them ana the second stopped them ;as effectually as if they had run i against a stone wall. Several men were seen to fall, but they were taken away by their comrades and the extent of their injuries could not be ! learned. Fleishman fell in the front rank of the strikers. He was taken to a hos pital, where be died in a short time. In the rush that followed scores of j women and children were trampled under I foot and half a dozen women fainted on j the tracks. The soldiers then took up a I position on the tracks at Kussell-street crossing. The news of the kiJling spread with re- I markable rapidity and ten minutes after i ward the street in the vicinity was filled ! with a threatening mob. Major liartz ■ left his company for a few moments to assist the firemen and doctors in placing Vacter In the patrol wagon and was imme j diately surrounded by a mob. "Kill him! Shoot him down!" were the cries of several excited men, as the mob surged around tho major. Hartz, how j ever, did not pay any attention to them | and was not molesteJ. The excitement by tbis time was in- I tense. Men ran from house to house, | borrowing shotguns, rifles and other fire -1 arms "To arms!', pi thn cry heard on every side, and fully .'3OOO people responded. Matters locked so threatening that a call wns sent to Chicago for re-enforcements, and two more companies were sent out on a special train. These additional troops were stationed at the scene of the trouble aud effectually cowed the rioters for the time being, Major ilartz arrested four of the leaders of the mob and took them to Ciiiraeo with a small detail of troops. While the train was pulling out of the city a crowd gathered and stoned it, but j quickly dispersed on the approach of a ! company of infantry. Among those wounded at Hammond are: Mrs. Fleming, shot in knee; Victor liitte, shot in leg; unknown man, shot through wrist. "GAVE IT TO THEM." General tiartz Tells of the Volleys at Hammond. Chicago, July 8. — A special on the Monon arrived late to-night from Ham mond, bearing a detail of United States infantry, under command of Major-Gen eral Uartz, having in custody four of the ringleaders in the afternoon's disorders there. Major Hartz was seen on arrival by an Associated Press reporter and spoke very tersely of the trouble, observing very significantly In conclusion: "Things have quieted down somewhat at Hammond since the trouble this afternoon." In reply to inquiries, Mainr Hartz said: "We succeeded in moving live mail trains which were being held by rioters at Ham mond. In moving one train we were con fronted by a gang who lined up in a solid mass in front of the engine. They were warned to make way, but no attention was paid to the admonition and we 'gave it to them.' One man was killed so far as I kuow now and four or more were woundea, bow badly I am not informed." When asked for further information the major referred all questioners to depart ment headquarters. FIRED OVER THEIR HEADS. Chicago Police Disperse Rioters and Make Arrests. Chicago, July 9.— Early this (Monday) morning the police had .'mother encounter with rioters. The trouble occurred at Fortieth street and Emerald avenue. A packing-house firm attempted to move some dressed beef. Tne strikers discovered this and determined to intimidate the teamster. The police were called and the crowa resisted efforts to disperse them. The police then fired a volley over the heads of the strikers, which caused them to disperse. Six of ! them were arrested, charged with riot. NO CONFERENCE HELD. The Committee Fails to Meet Pull man's Representative. Chicago, July B.— The conference an nounced for noon to-day between a com mittee of the employes of Pullman and Second V ice-President Wycke* of the company did not occur, as no committee appeared. Mr. Wyckes remained at his office until 2 o'clock waiting for the ex pected visitors. "We are always ready to see our em ployes," he said, "and bear what they have to say. The position of the company in this matter is unchanged, however, and we have nothing more to say to the men than has. already been said. The talk of a conference between Mr. Debs and my self is all a canard. We will not receive Mr. Debs. Mayor Hopkins or auy one else as representatives of our ex-employes. If the latter wish to talk to us they must come themselves and without outside rep resentation- FIVE HUNDRED ANARCHISTS. Wretches Who Advocate the Torch and the Bomb. Chicago, July B.— Five hundred anar chists gathered at a picntc in a grove near Western avenue and Fifty-ninth street this afternoon and discussed the strike situation in true anarchistic style. The speakers were unanimous in a demand for violence and bloodshed, which they re peatedly named as the solution of the trouble. The speakers declared that the strike can only be won by the use of the torch and gun, and called upon all work ingmen to aid in the battle against capital. VETERAN CORPS READY. Pullman, of Course, Is Anxious to Equip Them. Chicago, July B.— The Veteran Corps of the First Regiment, I. N. G., is pre paring to take part in the present trouble. The corps numbers IGO veterans and ex pec 3 to be abie to report to General Wheeler. The organization's equipment is at Springfield, and Vice-President Wyckes of the Pullman Company agreed to furnish blankets to-day for the men who are gathering at the armory. ONE TRAIN GOES EAST. The Pennsylvania Road Sends Out the Columbian Special. Chicago, July B.— The Pennsylvania system succeeded to-day in sending out an early accommodation and the Columbian special for tne East. Neither train met with serious interference and left the city limits about on time. Some idea of what the strike has meant to Chicago railroads can be obtained when the organization of the Pennsylvania line is noted. The company, after tne declaration of of the Pullman boycott, established head quarters in the city under the charge of a strike manager, and proceeded with an or ganization warlike and complete. A com missariat of seven barracks was estab lished for a week and the department has been feeding and lodging 1000 people. A force of 150 deputy marshals was organ ized with officers, Datrol wagons andsignal stations, and a corps of engineers were put to work upon the details of the damage done by the rioters. But, despite this force of men, backed by city, county, State % and Government troopg, the com pany has suffered fearful loss of property. Up to Saturday night 067 of its freight cars had been burned, besides many signal towers, nil and toolhouses and other prop erty. Of the burned cars more than 100 were loaded, about fifty with coal and the remainder with merchandise. No attempt at an accurate estimate of the damage has yet been made, but it will reach an enor mous figure. Despite the danger incident upon travel during the strike large numbers of people have daily gone out over the Pennsylva nia, and the number of passengers was materially increased to-day. PROTECTED BY TROOPS. Trains Kept Moving on Several Western Roads. Junction City, Kans., July a— This has been a busy day at Fort Riley. Orders came at 11:15 A. M. from depart ment headquarters for troops. Three batteries of light artillery, four troops of the Third Cavalry, the signal corps and a detachment of the hospital corps leave for Chicago over the Union Pacific. Maj >r Randolph, in command of the artillpry post here, will be in command. The first section, twenty-seven stock, ten box and seven coal cars, leave at 7 r. »r., and the second, lourteen coaches ami one Pull man, will leave later. But forty troops of the Seventh remain at the post. Ogdex, Utah, July B.— The strike situa tion is raiidly clearing. This morning eight companies of United States regulars from Fort Douglass under command of Captain Palmer, numbering 450 men, reached here on a special Union Pacific train. Upon arrival :i camp was formed, a line stretched around the depot grounds, sentinels placed and all strikers and the public ordered to keep out. No attempt was made by the strikers to prevent trains from arriving or departing. The Rio Grande sent out two trains to day. The regular overland for Denver and the East left <>n time with thrne Pull mans attached. The Union Pacific sent a local train out over tne Utah Northern this afternoon on time, also a train to Salt Lnke. No Southern Pacific trains have yet arrived or departed. The six com panies of regulars here will remain until tram service l< resumed. The Union Pacific road will resume all trains on schedule to-morrow. Several fir. s started here early this mornin?, which seemed to nave been of incendiary origin. Omaha, July B.— From a railroad stand ioli:t Omaha w:is unusually quiet to-day, many of the railroads sending out trains with the usual regularity. Superintendent Jaynes of the Omaha says: "Our trains are moving with regularity, both St. Paul trains getting through Sioux City without auy accidents. We will commence moving freight trains actively on Monday, having brought in Saturday twenty-five cars of livestock for South Omaha." Assistant Superintendent Orr of the Union Pacific is authority for the state ment that everything was quiet in the western divisions of the overland. Two companies of troous have reached Rock Springs. <7hicb, with the one com pany that has been stationed there for some time, gives a Federal force of nearly 200 men at that point. Four companies have reached Ogdeu from Fort Douglass, and the company is arranging to mass troops whenever needed at Pocatello, Green Kiver and Evanston. But the grea!est fear is entertained of destruction along the Southern Pacific, and the long stretch of country betweeu Ogden and Oakland is giving the Federal authorities no end of trouble. Assistant Manager Allen of the Rock Inland has telegraphed his people here that the running of freight trains will be resumed to-morrow and the locals will be taken care of. No. 6on the Rock Island went out on time to-day. Trouble is anticipated on the Missouri Pacific, but the flattening nut of the strike 'will somewhat change matters. Wabash, lnd., July B.— The anticipated improvement in the railroad situation has not materialized, and the blockade is al most complete on the Michigan division of the Big Four. The strikers are still united and confident, and their warning to the Brotherhood of Engineers at this point has caused the latter to waiver in theirsupport of the company. Two trains on this line, both very late, came in last night and were held here by Btrikers inducing the fireman to quit. The Federal injunctions are ignored by the strikers, but there have been no ar rests. The Benton Harbor passenger train went north this morning. On the Wabash traffic is paralyzed, But one pas senger train has run on the main line in twenty-four hours, and no stops are made at the division points. Cincinnati, July B.— Agents of Debs attempted a simultaneous movement to tie up junction joints between the Ohio River and lake points to-day. The information from Hammond, Springfield, Columbus, Delaware, Lima and Creston, and the statement of the officials, is that the plan failed. South of the river the strike failed. The local roads are doing better every day. The parade and mass-meeting of the strikers at Music Hall to-morrow is awaited with some apprehension. Cleveland, July B.— There has been absolutely no change in the strike situa tion here to-uay. Trains have run to-day the same as yesterday, and there has been no attempt ou the part of the strikers to Interfere, Salt Lake, Utah, July B.— The railroad situation ii unchanged. The strikers did not even hold a meeting. Four companies of the Sixteenth Infantry received orders to mow last night, and left for Ogden this morning. Two companies of the same regiment left here here at 7 o'clock to-night for Grand Junction, Colo., where strikers are reported to be destroying railroad prop erty. Dcs Menus, lowa, July B.— The strike situation here to-night is quiet. Xo further trouble is feared. Frankfort, lnd., July B.— There is no change in the Cloverleaf system here. Brazil, lud., July B.— The passenger train on the Chicago and Central division of the Illinois Central went forward for the first time in eight days. Yardmaster Sweeney fired the the train the entire dis tance, as no fireman could be found. An immense meeting of the strikers was held here this afternoon. Telegrams from Debs were read saying that success was certain, admonishing the strikers to ab stain from violence in any form and pro posing that uone should return to work unless all could. BURNING OF A BRIDGE. Traffic Stopped on the Chicago and Great Western. St. Paul, Minn., July B.— At 2 o'clock this Mior iiiujr the Chicago and Great West ern bridge between here and South St. Paul was burned. All stockyard tnffic on the road will be stopped for the pres ent. The fire was incendiary, the police being confident of their knowledge of the perpetratora. They expect to arrest them before nignt. Everything is quiet among the A. R. U. here. SYMPATHY FOR STRIKERS. Important Action Taken by Leading Labor Organizations. New York, July B.— The Central Labor Union to-day discussed the strike and ap pointed a committee to confer with a com mittee of the Typographical Union No. 6, the Knights of Labor and other organiza tions to hold a mass-meeting to express sympathy with the strikers. This meet ing will be held in a few days. Numerous speeches were made in sympathy with the Chicago strikers, Draising Governor Alt geld, denouncing President Cleveland and defying the New York police to interfere with the proposed labor union mass-meet ing. District Assembly No. 49, Knights of Labor, held a protracted meeting to-day. The meeting adjourned at 6 o'clock, when it was said that a dispatch was awaited hourly from Grand Master Workman Sov ereign ordering out the 150,000 members of the organization. A resolution was passed condemning the employment of State and Federal troops at Chicago and denouncing Attorney- General Olney and '"the rest of the cap italistic crew in ordering the destruction of human life to give a few dollars a year to Pullman et al." The action of Grand Master Sovereign and the A. R. U. was indorsed. At a special meeting to-day Typograph ical Union JNo. 6 passed resolutions of sym pathy with the A. R. U., and decided that the only solution to the question lay in the purchase of the railroads by the Gov ernment. Providence, July 8. — Seventy-tbree, delegates of the New England Alliance. Knights of Labor, met here to-day. Reso lutions denouncing George M. Pullman, praising the American Railway Union, praising the stand taken by General Mas Cer Workman Sovereign and condemning President Cleveland for sending regular DODO— DODO— DODO Ships That Pass in the Night. A Yellow Aster. The Coming Race. ' 250 OTHER CHOICE SELECTIONS. See Bool* I^ist. PRICE FIVE CENTS troops to Chicago were unanimously adopted. Rawlins, Wyo., July B.— Members of the different organizations represented by the Federated Board of the Union Pacific system, which met in Cheyeuue yesterday and issued bulletins requiring the men to redeem their pledges made to the United States court, held a meeting last night, at which it was decided that the acti< n taken at the Cheyenne meeting was unconstitu tional under the articles of the federation and that the matters considered be re ferred to thfir respective chief ex°cutives. Toledo. July S. — Everything is quiet on the surface here. A new lodge of the American Railway Union was organized here last night as the result of the efforts set on foot by Presideut Debs. The Lake Shore engineers and firemen will hold an other meeting this afternoon to discuss further efforts to compel tne reinstatement or the men discharged during the Ann Arbor strike. The situation on the sur face is quite improved. Wilkesbarre, Pa., July B.— The at tempt to form brandies of the American Railway Union among the railroad em ployes of this section has failed. A com mittee of agitators from Chicago hat been working among the men for several days past, but left for Buffalo to-day, thor oughly aisgusted. The railroad men have not yet recovered from the effects of tne Lerxigh Valley strike ot last year, and are not enthusias tic over the prospect ot going out again. Baltimore, July B.— Engineers, fire men, trainmen and labor organizations here do not fsvor the strike of the Ameri can Railway Union. While one or two lodges of labor organizations have passed resolutions of sympathy, none of the men are disposed to enter into a strike. Num bers are going west to take the places <>{ strikers. Buffalo, July B.— About 7 o'clock a telegram came to President Malacan of the local branch of American Railway Union directing him to call out his men and giv ing him instructions as to what course to pursue. The telegram begged Malacan to keep the men from rioting. Notwithstand ing this order, tliere will be no strike in Buffalo to-nigbl. He said: "1 received a telegram from Debs to-night, but there will be no strike tp-nigbt, and I cannot tell when there will be one. lam not calling out my men when nothing is to be gained by it. As soon as I think a strike is neces sary I will order one, but it will certainty not come to-night." The Central Labor Union held a meet- Ing to-day and passed resolutions of sym pathy with the striker?. Chicago, July 8. — A mass meeting of representatives of all the trades unions in the city was in session to-night to consider the question of going on strike in sym pathy with the Pullman boycott. The meeting lasted all night. It is not ex pected that any action will be taken be fore daylight, and it will probably be later than that before the meeting adjourns. Brockton, Mass., July 8. — The Central Labor Union held a crowded meeting this afternoon. Fervid resolutions against the Pullman Company and President Cleve land, as well as others in favor ot tbe A. R, U. and the government control of rail roads, were adopted. A telegram of en couragement was sent to President Debs. Sioux City, lowa, July B.— The Sioux City Typographical Union expelled two of its members who were militiamen and who turned out when the Sheriff ordered out the company here. The strike situation is unchanged. Cleveland. Ohio, July B.— Between 200 and 300 Big Four employes, excepting en gineers, met to-night And decided to con tinue the strike, remaining out until their local grievances, chief of which is a 10 per cent cut in wages, are adjusted. The freight conductors on all roads have also decided to join the strike. Boston. July B.— The tenor of the pro ceedings iv tne meetings held by labor or ganizations connected with the railway service in this city to-day was decidedly against striking. Many of the organiza tions are awaiting the call for subscrip tion, which when made will be responded to immediately. Galveston, Tex., July b.— The mem bers of the A. R. U. have received instruc tions to strike at 12 noon to-morrow un less the Santa Fe accedes to their demand to increase their wages. The Santa Fe re fused and the strike is now on. The en gineers and firemen have declined to Jain in tbe strike. Richmond, lnd., July B.— The employes of the Evansville and Richmond Railroad struck on order of President Debs, and traffic on that road is completely sus pended. ON VARIOUS ROADS.
