ludTCutu past the Nlty I1ull 10 the i III
ner Hall, where the executive committe,
OF the Workingmen's party was in ses
sion. a half hour later n body OF 500
made up chiefly of negroes, was sent 4
the levee, and marched its length for th,
purpose OF ;ndaeing the runabouts to jor
them. The strikers say they are to re
ceiye explicit orders from hour to nour
and expect to stop all manufacturing es
tablishmcnts before night.
The Missouri and Pacific machine
shops and freight depots and yards are
closed. and none of the men arc 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 the 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 and 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 Chcttenhan, 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 il
protected, and n request was sent to police
headquarters for detail Of police. but it
was refused. The police are OH duty at
station places, and the city is almost en-.
tirely unpatrollcd. A force is kept in
reserve to be used only when the strik-
ers resort TO violence or 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 tho recent cut
of ten per cent. is restored they will
strike at IL o'clock to-day and stop tie
cars.
Fears arc entertained for the safety of
property. 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-fvo mem
bers wero organized and ofIicered. Gen.
Smith states that about 500 have been
enrolled for service. On 'Change CON-
pany is being raised on the authority of
the mayor, to consist of fifty men, for
the Inboat police service on the river.
The company will be placed on the
steamer Ellen G. Smith, the city harbor
boat. The list Of volunteers is headed
by +. c.. Moorehcad, an ex-Confederate
naval officer. The prospect of coal
famine is becoming very serious.

The mob was making at last report for
McCormick's Great Reaper Works, and
will there NEE: opposition. A gang of
rioters is engaged in running street cars
into stables on the south side as fast as
they come in. The railroads are in
| statu quo, with passenger trains and
mails running except in few cases.
Many who were compelled to quit work
yesterday have gone 5.cl, .a.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 strikers drove the police back from
the north side and the rolling mills, and
they were compelled to return to the sta
ton. Some sailors struck last night,
but this movement met with little sue
! cess.

mayor might see fit TO use. Six thou
