THE WABASH TROUBLES.

ST. LOUIS, March 21-The Wabash swtchmen
in the yards of the road in the northern part of
the city went out again this afternoon. These are
the same men who quit work yesterday, u re-
turned to their labor by the advice of the chairman
of their executive committee. The receivers of
the Wabash road petitiUned judge Treat of the
United States destriCt court here, this afternoon
for the protection of their property and assistance
In running trains on the west side of the Missis-
sippi river. The petition was granted and the
court ordered the United states marshal to furnish
necessary protection.
General managers and superintendents of roads
ccntering in East St Louis held two meetings
here to-day to consider the situation in their yards
across the river. The matter was fully discussed
and about O'Clock this evening they sent a COM
mttee TO the East st. Louis city council, who pre-
scented petition asking that bOdy-whiCh was in
session at the time-tO afford the roads sufficient
protection to enable them to run their trains The
council in reply said that while they were very
anxious tn have business resumed and wished to
see all the laws Obeyed, they were unable to he of
any real service to the roads; that their police
force was very SINAI and totally Inadequate to
guard all the yards, and If they appointed special
officers the probabilities were, that the sympathy
for the strikers being so general in the city, they
would appoint men whose affiliations were all
with the strikers, and they would therefore be of
no benefit to the roads
The superintendent will hold another meeting
tomorrow, and 1t is thought to night they will ap.
ply directly to the governor of Illinois for aid and
protection.
