Join them; the police, aidsd by tho citi-
Gems, succeeded In preventing them from
recruiting their ranks by force. The city
is well guarded by police and military,
sufficiently, It's thought, to quen any
disturbance. .....
The strike has not extended east Of the
Hudson river, and the managers Of New
England lines apprehend no trouble.
NEW STRIKE.
The 6remen ON the Morris 4 Essex |
branch of the Delaware 4 LAckAwauns |
road struck last night at Hoboken, and to-
day the engineers and brakemen will follow |
their example. The train hands on the
Central railroad Of New Jersey were to
strike ct 1 o'clock this morning.
TROUBLE At CHICAGO.
The employees Of all the numerous
roads centsring at Chicago, except the
Northwestern, are on Q strike. Not salts
fed with forcing all railroad employees to
quit work, the strikers compelled other
workmen TO cease their labors Lumber
yards, stone yards, manufactures, and
other large establishments were visited
and the employees forced to Join the pro-
eAA~Nn~ANs1s
The Mayor of the city issued proolama-
ton, and an extra force of 200 men were
sworn in as police. Two battalions Of
State troops were on duty at their armoriesk
and regiment Of United States regulars
WAS momentarily expected TO arrive. 1t
was believed by the city authorities that
they would be able to prevent the rioters
from doing damage to public and private
property.
At CINCINNATI.
At Cincinnati . crowd Of thieves and
rufsians were allowed to stop the trains on
several railroads, after which they pro-
ceeded to various railroad shops and other
factories, and compelled the men against
their win TO quit work. The police were
in state Of mastery inactivity and did
not make any attempt to prevent this law
lessness. The consequence was that an
embargo was placed upon all travel out OF
the city, and several thousand people re-
siding in the suburbs were prevented from
reaching their homes.
| INDIANAPOLIS.
At indianapolis the strikers are in
possession of all the roads leading into
that city. Postal cars only are allowed to
leave the city. The sheriff of the county
is a members of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, but that Order has
assured him they will stand by him in pro-
tecting property. Two Of the -oads in
possession Of the mob are in the hands of
receivers, and the United States Marshal,
doubtless acting under advice Of the Dis
trict Judge, decided to attempt sending
train out on one of them.
VIOLENCE At st. LOUIS.
A body of strikers left East st. Louis at
IN early hour, yesterday, crossed the river,
and entering the city marched to the shops
of the Missouri Pacific road. Here they
forced the train men and others to cease
work. All the passengers and express
cars for the east were stopped. There
was no permanent interference with the
mail. The strikers say there is no middle
ground in their case; that 1t is either sbso-
lutte victory or defeat with them. They
have put q total embargo ON freight and
passenger traffic.
| sTRIKHs IN CANADA.
The strike has extended to the Canada
roads. At some places personal violence
was threatened to those who hesitated. On
the Grand Trunk road, however, consul
tation WAS held between the officials and
the employees, which resulted in an
amicable arrangement. The Great Western
road also acceded to the demands Of the
men ON that line.
AT PITTSBURGH.
At Pittsburgh quiet has been restored,
but the strikers are sill determined to re-
sist the railroad companies. Governor
Hartranft arrived last evening, and this re-
assured the citizens, who now feel secure
| f,,- vic
who at first sympathized with the rioters
now deplore their mistake; it is said they
will probably deplore it more when they
come to pay for the damages caused by
the mistake" A New York Timer cor.
respondent says that Notwithstanding as.
sertions to the contrary, the strikers and
: rioters we're in large measure identical
! Sheriff Fife, who, it was reported, had
been killed on Saturday, turned up alive
and unhurt yesterday, and had quarre
with the authorities about the payment o.
special officers.
