It is. surrounded by a high wall, Dut there are but few troops to guard it. In the armory is stored a large amounnt® of small arms, cannon and ammunition, which the x‘oters will undoubtedly capture. Jobuson’s gun factory, which was gutted, is a very ex- ive concern, and one ‘of the largest in the West. Bowen's gun store is located on Wood Street, near Fifth avenuc, The cannon taken trom Knap's Battery were located in a frame annory in Allegheny, which was BUT POORLY PROTECTED against such an emergency as has arisen to-day. ‘The battery is composed of young men, the most of whom have seen but little fighting, and who would not stand up in battle against the strikers. .The Fourteenth Regiment is Pitts- ‘burg’s crack corps, composed. of clerks and ‘nabob's sons, who do not care to shed their gore merely for glory’s sake. When the strikers, with their battery, ob- tain possession of the round-house and the hill opposite, they can s0 intrench themselves that it will be very bard work to dislodge them. Sverything at this writing is excitement. The woh bas possession of the city, and RIOT REIGNS SUPREME. One cannot ret an idea of the enormity of the crowd, nor of the strength which it possesses to defend itself if well armed and fortified on the ‘hills between which the Pennsylvania Railroad Jies. Before the trouble is settled much blood must of necessity be shed unless a compromise is at once agreed to. : DEAD. Prrrspura, Pa., July 21.—Sheriff Tife’s dead ‘Dody has just been brought in from the outer depot. Maj.-Gev. Pearson is badly wounded. COULD NOT COMPLY. A number of citizens went to the Philadel- ‘phia soldiers who are intrenched in the Penn- sylvania round-house to-night and begged them * to leave the city as a gencra] massacre is. feared. They were unable to do so on account of the surrounding mob. TWO CITIZENS WERE SHOT down on Liberty street a short time ago. The passenger traffic on the Pennsylvania Rost is entirely suspended, and the Union De ut and adjoining hotel have been abandoned. Avother cun-shop was raided on Liberty street about 10 o'clock. INCIDENTAL. STRIKERS ON GUARD. Prrrsncnc, Pa., July 21.—There is nothing special to note in the situation on the Pennsyl- ‘yvania Road this morning. Between 100 and 200 strikers performed guard duty last night, and patrolled the road from the Union Depot to the East Liberty Stock-Yarks. An attempt was made about midnight to move a train from the outer depot, but, as no engincer could be found willing to run the engine, the attempt had t»be abandoned. The strikers say it will be impossible for. the railroad company to obtain men to run the engines. They say they will © fer no resistance to soldiers, but say they will ‘Dvard trains at all stations, draw coupling-pins, cat trains loose, and thus prevent the departure of all freight, ADJUTANT-GENERAL LATTA, of the State militia, arrived at 1:45 this morn- aug. The First Division, 1,800. stroug,. includ- ing the Keystone Battery, and the Sixth Divis“ iva, under command of Gen. Brinton, are ex- pected to arrive this morning. The railroad of- Sicials hope, by thronging the tracks with mil- ary, to awe the strikers and ‘open the blockade without a conflict. TRAFFIC STOPPED. ‘ The strike on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago Koad stops all shipping over the Pitts- barg & Eric and Cleveland &, Pittsburg Roads, 2s these roads use the Fort Wayne tracks for some distance below. this city. The freight trains on the Connellsville branch cf the Balu- amore & Ohio Railroad were stopped last night, it is sald, by strikers from other roads, and the trains returned tothe depot. No trains will be sent out over this road to-day. It is not def- initely known ‘‘hether the Pittsburg, Cincin- natt & St. Louis Panhandle route men are out or not, but the situation here is such that the ruad has no outict for freight. MORE STRIREES, At was reported early this morning that the Allegheny Valley Road men will join the strike before noon to-day. The men interviewed de- cline to express themselves clearly, but do not deny the correctness of the report. Passenger travel and express matter are running as ustal | on all the roads. ~ UNCHANGED. : Pirrsncne, Pa., July 21-2 p. m.—The situa- . tion up to this time fs practically unchanged. ‘The Panhandle Road is moving local freight, and if obstructions on the Pennaylvania Railroad ‘were removed it could move through freight without difficulty. MORE STRIKERS. The strikers on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago were joined by 200 men from the com- pany’s shops this morning. There has been no increase of labor on this road, but the strike is Wholly against the 10 per cent reduction which ‘went into effect June 14. RESOLUTIONS, A meeting of the Ft.

The Sheriff has warrants for the AMREST OF FIFTEEN of the leaders in the strike on the Pennsylvania Road. The Sheriff, with his posse and military, ‘will at once procecd to the outer depot and en- deavor to make arrests. The strikers are con- gregatel at that point, and the result fs anx- fously awaited.

Newark, O., July 21.—It was thought last night that this morning would decide the ques- tion of the strike in thiscity. The Railroad Compauy have been obliged to acknowledge that the strikers are still masters of the situa- tion. Four companies of militia arnved during the night, and were quartered in the Compauy’s car shops. About noon to-day one company marched out into the freieht-yard for the pur- pose of testing the disposition of the strikers. It was believed by the railroad: officials that the presence of the troops would cause the men to depart, out in this they. were sadly disappointed. The officer in command advised the men to quietly withdraw, aud leave the Company to manage its own affairs. The men declinea to leave, claiming they had COMMITTED NO ACT OF VIOLENCE, and could not bedriven away. Tho strikers appealed to the. soldicrs’ sympathies by re- hearsing the wrongs they had suffered at the hands of the Railroad Company. That they made friends with them is clearly evident. The troops were soon withdrawn, and returned to their quarters. fen The four companies here do not exceed 150 men, and it was not deemed expedicnt to at- tempt the clearing of the yard with the force at hand. x Gov. Yonng; becoming satisfied that any at- tempt to move traius with the small force here would be futile, at once ordered four companies from Cincinnati and two from Dayton. It is expected these will reach here some time dur- ing the night. With this addition to the force now here it is proposed to attempt the moving of trains at 6 o’clock to-morrow morning. Orders have been issued to prevent al! persons from entering the yards after that hour. Whether they will be able to drive out the strikers who will remain there all night with- out the effusion of blood is VERY DOUBTFUL. The men are cool and determined, and will not be driven without resisting, and the opinion is zencral among all classes of citizens that the militia will not fre on the men so long as they are not attacked by them. This belicf gains credence from the fact that the men and militia are mingling together in the most friendly manner. Many of the troops have friends and relatives in the movement, and it is not be- lieved they can be made to fight uniess attacked, The County Commissioners were in session to-day, and refused to make any arrangement whatever for the feeding ot the troops here. ‘The strikers, hearing ot the fact, sent a com- mittee around the city for the purpose of rais- ing moncy to ‘ BUY THE TROOPS THEIR SUPPER. This was quickly done, merchants and business men subscribing liberally. Thus the militia became the guests of the strikers. If the proposed attempt to start ‘trains in the morning is carried out, each train will have an escort to insure its safety. A Jarge crowd of citizens are around the Amer- ican Hotel to-night, discussing the situation, all of which are iu warn sympathy with the strik- ers, The general tenor of their discussion is that, should the Railroad Company be able to move their trains from here, it will be necessary to guard every mile of road from here to the Ohio River. At every station on the road the sympathy of the people is WITH THE MEN, which, with wages reduced to $1.85 per day, with only three or four days’ work a week, and total expenses eacn day of work averaging 73 cente to $1, has caused men who are ordinarily quiet and good citizens to become desperate, and they firmly stand by their demands, quietly 80 far, but with a firmness of purpose never be- fore shown in troubles of this character. 1f de- feated here, they say THE ROAD'IS A LONG ONE, and cannot be guarded by all the militia in Ohio. It is very evident that the strikers arc stronger and more firm in their demands than yesterday. On the Panhandle Road all is quict thus far; but how soon the strike may reach that line is not known. But thatthere will be trouble is generally believed. All freight trains are run through here without stopping. ‘This is done in order vo keep the traiu-nauds from coming in contact with the strikers, who, it is feared, would induce them to leave their trains. PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR. Gov. Young has just issued the following pro-lamation, which has been distributed ughont the city, and creates considerable apent3 Newark, O., Joly 21.—To the Citizens of New- erk: Anxious to prevent the destruction of human life, Lrequest and commund you to keep away from the yards, shops. grounds, and depot of the Baltimore & Vino Railroad Company after 6 o’clack a. m. to-morrow, July 21.

A meeting of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers was held this evening. After a long session it was decided to take uo action in con- nection with the strike of the firemen and brake- men, but to quietly await events. Resolutions of sympathy were adopted for their unfortunate associates, The meeting was secret, and the members closc-mouthed and not disposed to make known to the public the questions brought, before the Brotherhood. THE MINERS. Rumors prevail that a large numbe of miners from Straitsville and other points wilt come dere to-morrow, and throw the weight of their numbers and influence with the strikers. The rumor is credited by a portion of the com- munity, but nothing reliable is known at this late hour. The Sheriff is being denounced on all sides, and the once popular officer of Lyking County has not a following to-day of 500. His calling for troops before any violence oceurred has had the effect of bringing down upon him the curses and jeers of nearly the whole community. MEANS BUSINESS. : Your correspondent just bad an interview with Gov. Young, who states that he has used every effort possible to urge upon the strikers the utter hopelessnes of tne cause. To-morrow morning he hopes to more the trains if the rail- road authorities have the mentoran them. He will first clear the yard, and any attempt to defeat such action will be met by force. He has ordered the troops here armed with breech- loading rifles. In addition to those now here, five companics of the First Regiment, two com- panies of the Second Regiment from. Dayton, and six companies of the Third Regiment are expected. A portion of these will arrive about So’clock inthe morning, and the balance dur- ingthe carly part of the day. To-morrow, or rather to-day, is looked for with PEELINGS OF ANXIETY. That there will be loss of life is generally be- lieved, but Gov. Young is of the opinion that witha sufficient force at command, anda de- termined action on his part to protect tne'rail- road property and guarantee protection to those sie ore euine to Work, if will havea tendency }0 break up this ~% and wil neue Eres Growing trouble in THE (., C., C. & I. Special Diepatch to The Tribune, CrxvErann, O., July 21.—At a meeting of shop-men of the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincin- nati & Indianapolis Road held here to-day a setter was written and.sent to President J. H.

They say that it the cuts are to be made, Iet them come on to those to whom TUEY PROPERLY BELONG rather than on the laborers. They further re- quest that specified pay-day be hercafter svt= tled on to come before the 15th of cach month. ‘They dose by designating noon of Monday as the time on which they expect an answer. The tet- ter was signed by some two or three hundred men. If a favorable answer is fot returned by that time, they will almost certainly go out. A meeting of the officers of the Company was held to-lay, at which it is understood there was a decision to offer the mon AN IMMEDIATE ADVANCE in time of labor,—some two hours per day. It is nct_ known what effect this may have on the men. Neither is it known what the train-men are doing. All is quiet so far on the Lake Shore, although: it is rumored that a secret meeting of the men is being held to-night. ‘They may go out any moment. Two companics of the Fifteenth Reg- iment of the Ohio National Guards. that were ordered to Newark arc to be kept in Cleveland, as their presence may be necessary here. WOPE AND FEAT. : CieveLann, O., July 21.—Inquiryat the head- quarters of the different railroads centering here shows all to be quict on the lines, and the offi- cials say they apprehend no trouble, though, of course, they cannot tell what may happen if the excitement at other points reaches here. Nothing can be learned from trainmen. Some seem very guarded in talking about a strike; others treat the matter lightly, saying there is no possibility of anything of the kind occurring. ‘A DELEGATION OF SHOPMEN waited upon Gen. J. K. Devereaux, President of the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati & In- @ianapolis Rallway,.and asked to have their wages put back to the old prices,—that fs, 20 per cent,—they having at two different: times been cut 10 per cent. It is understood they do not want an unswer until Monday noon. Gen. Devereaux declines to have anything to say in regard to the situation to-night, but will un- doubtedly give the men an answer at the time named. COUNTEUMANDED. The Fifteenth Regiment. U. N. G., ordered to Newark, O., by Cov. Young at noon to-loy, is still here, the order having been countermanded at § o’clock this evening, .as the troops were not armed and no provision made for such an emer- gency. The city is full of rumors of a strike along the whole line of the Lake Shore, but at this time—11:30 p. m.—no strike has occurred, and trainmen are reported as saying that if they do not go out at midnight they willdo so at noon Sunday, though it cannot be traced to any reliable source.

The strikers came forward and guaranteed to furnish food to the troops. It is reported that the citizens have* guaranteed the srtikers that they shall not want for eatables to sustain life.

McHenry by a mounted orderly, who returned with word that the troops are in readiness to march at a moment’s notice. CAUSE OF THE SHOOTING.

As the crowd gathered in.zhe neighborhood of the Camden Station this evening, a cordon of soldiers was placed around the depot, and in front of.them the police. Between § and 9 o'clock several shots were fired at Entaw and Barre streets, and- the soldiers loaded their pieces, The officers, however, ordered the charges withdrawn, and it was done. Meantime the crowd on Eutaw street, which uow number- ed ubout 8,000 persons, cheered. fired off pistols, and acted in a very disorderly manner. a WELL UNDER. At Camden and Eutaw a drunken man made afurious speech. Ahout this times railroad torpedo was fired off, and a general panic en- sued. The crowd reassembled in a few minutes, and openly discussed the feasibility of breaking into the Camden Station. Soon about 150 police marched up Camden street, where the rioters were most numerous, and, after coming toa halt, orders were given. to charge. The crowd instantly started on a run, the police following and discharging blank cartridges. About fifty of the ripters in Littie Paca street began tearing up the pavement, but the police scattered them with a round of blank cartridges. Allinclined to be disorderly were arrested and taken to the Camden Station. Of the sixty ar- rested vone of them were railroad men. PROGRESS REPORTED. . Wasmnatos, D.

INDIANA. “AT FORT WAYNR. | - Spectat Dispatch to The Tribune. Fort Warne, Ind., July 21.—Trouble has begun in. good earnést among the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne .& Chicago train-men at this point. The crew of freight-train 15 scheduled to leave here for the West at 8 o'clock to-night refused to go on duty, and no one was obtained to move the train. Several: hundred rail- rond-men had gathered *at the rallrond- yard as if prepared. for’ a strike. They had spiked the switches, to prevent trains from getting out of the yard, and resolutely declared that they would allow no train tomove. A switchman attempted to turn the switch, but was prevented from doing so by the crowd, who threatened his life. ‘The offivers of the railway are endeavoring to secure men to take the places of thestrikers, but 80 far without success. They hope to be able to move trains from the city to-morrow morning. The entire police force of the city is on duty at the railroad yard, and the Licht Guards have been ordered to be on ifand in case of an emergency. The'next.train. to arrive is due here at5 o'clock to-morrow morning, and the strikers assert that itshall not be allowed to enter the city. Great fears are entertained of a riot in casé an attempt is made to move freight trains in or out of the city. The raifway officials are confi- dent that there will be no disturbance.

C., July 21—There has been little business transacted by Cabinet offi- vers to-day, aside from attention given to the subject connected with the strikers, At an early hour Colleztor Thomas telegraphed the President that he thought jt .his duty to ask for troops to protect the Cus- tom-House and officers there. This has got into print, and created general excitement. ‘The opinion at the Department is that it would have showa more discretion and common sense on the part of Thomas if he had required part of his 250 or 300 employes to arm themselves and undertake TO PROTECT THE GOVERNMENT OFFICES. In fact, :he was notified to do this, and meas- ures were taked to supply his men with arms. Very active meaus were. taken at the War De- partment to hurry such forces ag were available at New York, Fortress Monroe, and Fort Henry to Baltimore. The marines were ready here last night to go over, but ‘ther services did not seem to be needed, and it was thought at onc time this afternoon by the Baltimore authorities that no further aia would beneeded. About dark, however, signs of A CONCERTED MOVEMENT among the roughs, strikers, and unemployed were observed, and soon after the crowd around Camden. Station ‘was increased, and continued to swell rapidly until an outbreak occurred. It is the understanding here that the Balti- and a battery -|:more & Obio Company’s elevators and coal and freight wharves, at Locust Point, are now heav- ily guarded by artillery. Last night tne au- ‘thorities here did. not estimate the movement in Baltimore “as very serious, as is indicated by the fact that the Treasury shipped $10,000,000 - in _ new bonds through Baltimore to New York. Asa matter of precaution, all the troops ‘being .absent and the marine corps under orders to leave, two - |- gunboats bave been ordered here. AN ARMED GUARD has also been placed in the Treasury building as ‘a. matter of reasonable precaution, and not be- “cause any disturbance fs feared or expected here. ‘Washington is only a way station of the Balti- more & Ohio Road, and no great transactions in freight originate here, and, consequently, there is little excitement at the depot, while at the depot of the Pennsylvania Road there .is,.of course, no trouble. All-reports, of anticipated , difficulty-here are thus far utterly sensatioual in’ their character. SENSATIONAL. STORIES, . ag to the alarm of the authorities, and: espe- cially of the Treasury officials, have been circu- lating throughout the evening, It has been "| telegraphed that the Treasury Department was “| with all the doors wide open and’ no, defonsive: over the doors and windows. There’ Was no’ foundation whatever for:such a story. A visit -to the Departnient’ showed :a few watchmen \sitting about the entrances as usual, works of any kind in progress. Reports of great crowd cheering the bulletins at the tele- graph offices announcing the suc of the strikers at Pittsburg and Baltimore bave also been telegraphed. The crowds at both tele- graph offices did not number over 150, and they were altogether orderly. > .- ae? A FORCE OF- MARINES has started for Baltimore. All Western mails haye arrived to-day, both in morning and aiter- noon, by the Baltimore & Ohio Koad, as well os by the Pennsylvania.

SHORBTARY SHERMAN, ats after telegraphing last night that he would reach the city at 10 p. m., was obliged to leave the train at Baltimore and pass the’ night at the hotel without knowing of the trouble. He started for the Camden Station, and “before bis party were aware of the character of thetrowd they were in the midst of it. They were treated with much respect, however, and allowed to. pass freely, as it was an argzreement among the rioters not to interfere with passengers. To the Western Associated Press. Wasumxctoy, D.

SPRINGFIELD DIVISION OF THR BALTIMORE & ONO. Spectat Dispatch to The Tribune. Sprrivarrerp, July 21.—No strike ts appre- hended on the Springfield Division of the Obio intelligence is received that a strike com- menced at Vincennes this afternoon. Should they mass at Flora gad interfere with trains, they will probably*he a call for militia, in which event four or five companies, and even more, if necessary, could be sent there in twelve hours. The Ohio & Mississippi Road, however, is under the protection of the United States Court, its Receiver being appointed here. Any interference with the line would call for action by the Court officers; but even in that event the United States Marshal would probably take a militia posse NOTHING NEW. St. Louis, Mo., July 21.—Nothing new nas transpired this morning in regard to the con~ templated strike on the Ohio & Mississippi Rail- road next Monday. It is said, however, that the Yard-men and machine-shop men will probably join the brakemen and firemen, and the en< giueers, while they will not strike, willgzefuse to run trains with green hands. 1D FOR THE STRIKERS. ‘The yardmen jand switchmen on the Western Division of the Wabash Road yesterday raised $735, which was gent to the strikers on the Bal- timore & Ohio Road, and they say three times that amount can and will be raised if necessary.

The meeting was composed of perhaps six hundred, embracing firemen, brakemen, en- gineers, yardmen, ete. No definite action was taken, but a committee was appointed to draft resolutions, which are to be presented at anoth- er meeting to be held to-morrow afternoon.

He has ample regources, he says, to crush any hostile demon- ‘strations that can be made by the strikers, and if necessary = - - a8 : WE WILL PICEET the whole road from New York to Dunkirk. In this city the first troops to becalled upon would be the Seventh, Eighth, and Twenty-second Regiments, whose members are not likely to hayeany sympathy with the strikers.

If no trouble occurs on the Central to-merrow the officers will feel perfectly secure. None of them apprehend & movement among their employes, although a strong effort is being made by she leaders of the present strike to induce the Central men.to join them, but so far there has been no sign of success. As for the Erie, Mr. Jewett declares he will not a~ cede to the demands of the strikers if his road is debarred from doing business indefinitely. SYMPATHY FOR THE STRIKERS, * Wasurseroy, D. C.,.July 21.—The Columbia ‘Typographical Union, No. 101, to-night passed resolutions condemning the action of the Balti- more & Ohio Railroad Company; de nouncing the action of the Labor Lencue condemnatory of strikers; ; | extend- ing sympathy to the strikers; and declaring they will sustain them by all legit- imate means. They also adopted a resolution - sympathizing with the workingmenof the Navy- Yards who have been notified that their present rate of pay shall be reduced. . THE LOCAL SITUATION. CHICAGO. r DOWN AT THE ROCK ISLAND CAR-SHOPS. Yesterday afternoon a Trrsuye reporter spent | several hours among the employes of the Chi‘ cago, Rock Island & Pacific, and Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad shops, taking in all grades of workmen, from the mechanic to the trackmen. Of .course the sympathies of the railroad employes are witl: the Eastern strikers, whose success they are urgently praying and hoping for. On the first of the present month a reduction of 10 percent on all wages was made on both the Rock Island & Pacific and Lake Shore’ & Michigan Southern Kailroads. Previous to that, shopmen were getting from 12 to 28 cents an hour, apprentices’ ranging from 10.-to 12 cents. The ayeraye wages paid to machinists at the shops: were about 25 cents sn hour. There were three m- chinists who got 20 certs an hour. Their aver- age laboring-day consists of eight. hours. Freight firemen were paid $2.25 per 100 miles, ani passenger firemen $1.70 per 109 miles. At these “rates they made from “31010350 a month. Freight engineers used to earn from $95 to $100 2 month, and passenger engineers $100 to $110 per month. Brakemen obtained $45 per month after having been a yearin the company’s employ. Previous to that, $40 was the pay. The switchmen in the yards received from 360 to $75 a month. The track laborers received from $1 to $1.10 per day. To cet the FEELINGS OF THE DBRAKEMEN AND FIREMEN was the main object of the reportorial mission. All hands felt hard towards the Railroad Com- pany, because they. had reduced the poorest- paid workmen and lefe the President, managers, Superintendents, and foremen's salaries alone. - The firemen on the Rock Island recently had some experience fn a strike, and they declined to discuss the merits of another. They hold ‘ that the Chicago press refuses to give the rail- road employes a fair show: They say their ~ work is hard, and that even $50 a month is not pay commensurate with their labor aud the risk which they run. One thing cau he re- Yed “upon: ‘that at present a stronger organization of railroad employes exists than | was ever known of before. The firemen, brake- - men, and conductors are banded together, and if there is to be a railroad lock-out on these roads, it will be of all hands. The reduction made in wages on the Rock Island Road. above ~ mentioned, is 10-per cent. On firemen tbis falls heaviest, as the one-fourth per cent per: mile is taken off entircly, and the reduction: mae on a basis of $2.8 hundred miles, which’ makes it equal to 1134 per cent, which they Iook upon a3 unjust. The brakemen are reticent. They de- cine to say what they will do. ‘They say they will demand their righta, but it altogeiher de- ~ pends on how the Eastérn strikes turn out. If ° their Eastern brethren hold out until Monday, there is every prospect of thesé brakemen going © out. Their Ieaders have held secret conferences, and thereis a most perfect understanding slong the whole line. . If ‘the brakemen go ont, the firemen and conductors will follow suit. ‘The trackmen are non-committal, but say that they cannot exist and support their families on$laday. But they, too, are awaiting de- yelopments. : : ON THE LAKE SHORE & MICHIGAN SOUTHERN is even a worse state of affairs, the wages . having been “from .5 to “10 per cent’ be- low those ~ quoted. above, and upon these another 10 ner cent reduction was made. The trackmen there’ are working as low as 90 cents, and brakemen for $85 month. Themen claim that’ ‘they are even worse paid than the employes of the Baltimore & Obio Railroad. ‘They decline to say what they will do, but they | confess that they will stand up for thelr rights just-as soon asthe opportunity offers, If a strike is precipitated by them, they say It will be within the next sixty hours, or not atall If the Eastern brakemen hold out, they will surely strike. _ The feeling against the daily papers is very strong for the course they have pursued, the brakemen and railroad employes regarding itasunjusttothem. They say they are not “riotous and not inclied that way, but the _ railroad companies have waged their cut-throat _ wars and then endeavored to saddle the loaset upon the men who can least ‘stand if.” Brakes men who have’ families“say that they can- not support ‘them; that while on certain trips they have to purchase ineals on the roads at from 25 to'50 cents each, and yet their living _ expenses at home are not..proportionately re duced. They claim that meals ‘alone - whict they have to'buy outside ut off an average 0} $6 per month. They admit that the Company . offers them the choice of accepting the reduc tion orleaving. But to this they say that some ., ot them have bought alittle piece of ground from the raflrond companies and erected homes,“ on the prairie. For these, in some instances, they have pall up, and-id other'cases not. If they leave they would probably have to pack* upand travel, and sacrifice the accuinulation of years. “All these things they.say the public | Shouid consider. They claim to have some rights, and believe that they should be respect! ed.* This is about the feeling that a Tr:stx .Tevorter found.’ Itisnot unlikely that if the Eastern’strikers hold ont there-will oc strikes on the Rock Island & Pacific and Lake Shore & Bell ILLINOIS CENTRAL.
