Another Strike in Chicago That Em"sr-
raises Several Railroads.
CHICAGO, May 6.--Just as the officials Of
al the railroads coming in over the Chi
cago and Westert Indiana tracks, which
include the Wabash, the Grand Trunk, the
Chicago and Atlantic and the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois, had concluded that they
would try and open up freight traffic in the
regular way, they were confronted with a
strike that makes them all hesitate about
receiving any freight whatever The switch
tenders for the Western Indiana road
at Forty first street and at Grand Crossing
quit work this afternoon and virtually
blocked traffic on all these roads. Passen-
ger trains, and especially mail trains, were
allowed to pass, but freights stood no show.
The men at Forty-fir street number about
eighteen. They say they receive but $45
per month for twelve hours work per day.
On Monday they asked that wages be raised
to SIS per month"; and the demand being
refused to-day, they struck and refused to
let engines out on the road, or get into the
round-houses, or to pull out any cars.

CONGRESSMAN KELLEY

Says Few Words on the Labor Troubles.
WASHINGTON, May Z. Congressman
Kelley, of Pennsylvania, is quoted as say
ing, 'These labor troubles are primarily
caused by the capitalists, who, refusing to
pay fair wages to American laborers, have
gone abroad and brought to this country
the vilest and lowest class of European
laborers to take the places of men who can
not and will not live the same as these
ignorant and brutal creatures do The
thing to be done is to make eight hours
q days work and put In the penitentiary
the capitalist who will permit his ma
chinery to run longer period than
eight hours per day. Then legislate to ex-
clude from this country the class of men
who are responsible FOR such outrages as
have occurred in Chicago. l have no SYM
pathy with Anarchists, dynamiters or Com
munists, nor have l any sympathy with
the capitalists who will import labor of
this class rather than pay good wages to
American workmen." Congressman Rice,
of Massachusetts,, said: 81 believe tina
the Government should put down with the
strong arm of power every attempt at
violence such as has been fomented in

Hangs Over the Heads of the Anarchist
Leaders in the Chicago Riot.
CHICAGO, May 7.-State's Attorney Grin
nell has stated that he has obtained ample
legal evidence duplicating Spies, Fielder
and Schwab as the leaders in getting up
the terrible riot on Desplaines street, which
resulted in the destruction of several lives
and the manning of many persons. This
evidence will be very damaging to the
three men named when they shall come
to be tried before the criminal court.
In order to find out whether the opinion
of other prominent members of the bar
sustained or not the conclusions of the
States Attorney, several well-known mem
bers of the bar have been interviewed. The
opinion of all of them, without any excep-
ton, is that SO far as they know what the
evidence is, it is fully sufficient to secure
the conviction of all three men. They also
hold that the evidence is sufficient to Sc
cure their conviction for murder and the
infection of the death penalty.
