of the Workingmen's party was in ses
sion. A half hour later body of 500
made up chiefly of negroes, was sent tt
the leyee, and marched its length for th'
purpose of inducing the runabouts tojoir
them. The strikers say they are to re
ceive explicit orders from hour to hour
and expect to stop all manufacturing es
tablishments before night.
The Missouri and Pacific machine
shops and freight depots and yards are
closed, and none of the men are at work
They told the officers of the road, thi:
morning, that they were satisfied to work
but it would only precipitate an attack
and general trouble with the strikers,
The position of tie men is approved by
the company, and the shops and depot
are closed by mutual consent. The com
pany sent out three or four freight trains
between 1 and 5 o'clock this morning,
but it is not likely that they will start
any more for the present.
A delegation of strikers from the city
visited Chettenham, four miles west Of
this city, and ordered the men out of the
smelling and fire clay works. They Of
fered their employers to continue work if
protected, and q request was sent to police
headquarters for detail of police, but it
was refused. The police are on duty at
station places, and the city is almost en-
tirely unpatrolled. A force is kept in
reserve to be used only when the strik-
ers resort to violence or a mob is formed.
Another urgent request for detail was re-
ceived from the Offices of the Union
Street Railway, an important line which
runs from Fourth street to the Fair
Grounds. The employees have notified
that company that unless the recent cut
of ten per cent. is restored they will
strike at IL o'clock to-day and stop the
cars.
Fears are entertained for the safety of
The police were instructed to
be in readiness to march to the stables
upon the commission of any overt act,
but not before.
Meetings were held this morning in
nearly all the wards, and companies of
citizens of from fifty to seventy-fye mem
bers were organized and oficered. Gen.
Smith states that about 1900 have been
enrolled for service. On Change COM
pany is being raised on the authority of
the mayor, to consist of fifty men, for
the gunboat police service on the river.
The company will be placed on the
steamer Ellen 6. Smith, the city harbor
boat. The list of volunteers is headed
by F. G. Moorehead, an ex-Confederate
naval officer. The prospect of coal
famine is becoming very serious.

they come in. The railroads are in
statu quo, with passenger trains and
mails running except in a few cases.
Many who were compelled to quit work
yesterday have gone back to-day. The
north side mob is the most disorderly,
and is busy breaking windows wherever
resisted. The Phoenix Distillery have
been seized by them, and the proprietors
have called for United States troops.

the north side and the rolling mills, and
they were compelled to return to the sta

labor exists in manysof the chief cities OF
the Uuion, and along their principal
lines of railroads, and is rapidly spread;
ing to the imminent danger of peaceable
citizens, and the complete disorganiza-
ton of all business and, whereas, the
militia, State and municipal forces are
unquestionably inadequate to cope with

the willing workers, be it resolved that

tuition, even to an increase Of the military
