MORE STRIKES APPREHENDED.
Chicago, March M-'The situation in
local railroad circles is becoming more
and more strained each hour" said an
Official of the roads this morning:
"Whlle l don't look for a strike on all
the roads just at present, the outlook
on the Wabash IS not at
all re-assurIng." This sentiment
was verified by the daily news reporter.
Engineers, fireman and switchmen, while
they spoke auardedly on the subject,
admitted, that if they received orders
at any moment from the Knights of
Labor to go out they would not be
surprised.
SERIOUS RIOT AT ST. LOUIS.
st. Louis. Mo-, March GA freight
train of fifteen cara made up this morn
ing at the Union depot and started over
the Missouri Pacific track in the direc-
ton of Seventeenth street. Arriving at
that point the crowd called upon the
engineer and fireman to leave thor
posts, which they did. The mob soon
became 80 dense it was deemed advisa-
bic to clear the yards and the police
was summoned. Soon a force of $50,
commanded by the chief of police and
all the captains, arrived on the scene.
The crowd was then ordered to dis
perse and upon their refusing to do SO,
the police made a charge upon them
hoping to drive them away without
using their clubs; the latter alternative
however, became necessary, to resort tc
the mob still resisting. During the
struggle which ensued, several strikers
were severely treated by the police, som
OF whom in turn were badly bruised
from rocks thrown by the mob. After 9
brief fight the crowd was dispersed
and driven from the yards
Another engine was then procured
which, after being coupled to an aban
doned freight train, drew it from tht
scene of the riot under a guard of abou'
fifty police, who accompanied it I'D far al
the city limits, no interference having
been met with. How far beyond thl'
point the train will be able to proceed
cannot be conjectured, for the striker
may at any time render its progress
impossible.

large number of the police force, the
mob, numbering about 1000 me1
