The raD1rt IF a riot nj T,Vaufv-sap

seriously. The Union stock rolling
mills and malleable iron works on the
south side have been closed, and there
is 500 hands idle. The mob were max
ing at last accounts for McCormick's
great reaper works, and will there
meet opposition. A gang are running
the street ears into the stables on the
south side. The railroads are in statu
quo with passenger trains and mails
running except in a few cases. Many
who were compelled to quit work yes
terday have gone back to-day. The
north side mob is the most disorderly,
and is busy breaking windows wher-
ever resisted. The Phoenix distillery
has been seized by them, and the
proprietors have called for United
States troops. the strikers drove the
police back from the north side rolling
mills. Troops will arrive this after
noon from the Indian country. The
swearing in of special police is pro-
crossing rapidly. About 80 veterans
are now enrolled. All the saloons on
the west side are closed. There has
been no incendiarism yet. Early this
morning 10 or 20 roughs boarded an
outgoing train on the Illinois Central

from Omaha at Sixteenth street last
night. Two freight cars were thrown

chiefly OF negroes, was sent to the
levee and marched its length for the
purpose of inducing roustabouts TO
Join them. The strikers LAY they are
to receive Ok plicit orders from hour to
hour, and expect to stop all manutact-
uring establishments before night. A
committee of men OF tbs Laclede a
works waited on the officers of the
