when the company attempted to move an oil
train and W ere not allowed to do so. Sub
sequently men were taken from the engine.
and not allowed to return.
It was then determined not to attemp
to run out any freight train in order t
avoid opportunity for collisions. Passen
ger trains we're ordered to stop, but allowed
to proceed on the assurance that they carried
the United States mail.
THE RICHMOND EXPRESS

but finally got away, and the. Cincinnati
express train was stopped before il. got on

track some distance from the depot, bu

which exploded without damage. Men a

strikers and 'obeyed. .,... 50, s.
