LABOR TROUBLES.
THE SWITCH TENDERS Strike
At Chicago BlOOkAdss Freight TFafic on a
Number Of RoAda-striking Freight
Handlers at Cincinnati Return to
Work-striksS at Other Points.

CHICAGO, May 6.-Just as the officials o.
all the railroads coming in over the Chi
cago and Western 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 strike that made them all hesitate
about receiving freight.
The switch tenders for the Western
Indiana road at Forty'6rst street and at
the Grand street crossing quit work this
afternoon and virtually blocked traffic on
all these roads. Passenger trains and es-
peCially mail trains were allowed to pass,
but the treights stood no show. The men
1t Forty-hTat street number about Is.
They say they receive but $l6 per month
tor II hours work per day, On Monday
they asked that their wages be raised to
s55 per month aud the demand being re-
fused to-day they struck and refused to
lot the engines out on the road or get into
the round house or 10 pull outany cars,
A Northwestern engine with seven cars
waited at the north arm OF the stock
yards ny" for hours In vain hope that
somebody would throw aswitch, but no.
body did 80, and the engine was compelled
70 back into the yards, The big switch
yates at Fortieth street were thrown across
he main tracks at noon and kept closed
ior hours, but were finally opened to let u
suburban train pass through. Then the
gates were unhinged and thrown on the
ground by order OF the officials, The train,
however, met with Wabash engine
IN the tiacks at Forty.arst street,
coming in an opposite direction.
Nobody would throw the switch
and the Wabash engineer declined for a
considerable time to back down TO Forty
linth street. A crowd Of several hundred
stood by and Cheered. The Wabash sent
out eight special policemen. The strikers
lid not molest them, and General
Manager Lyiord, OF the Chicago 4 East.
4rn Illinois, threw several switches per-
ionally in an attempt to get out freight
rains that had been abandoned. The en-
Sineer and fireman seemed to be In SYM
pathy with the strikers and refused TO
pull the trains until well satisfied that the
persons throwing the switches for them
understood their business.
The town OF Lake police were repre-
sented by three or four officers, who,
however, took no action Of any kind.
At Q late hour reports from the scene Of
trouble in the town OF Lake say all it
quiet, but there is no freight heing moved.

Arrested Socialists.
MILWAUKEE, MICH, May O.-Every.
thing has been quiet in the city thus far
to-day, but the troops continue to guard
the threatened establishments at Bay
View and on the South Side. At noon
there was every evidence that the rlotous
proceedings OF yesterday would not be re.
newed. The arrest OF Grottgan, the
soclallstic leader, and several Of his fol-
ow6fp, has had an excellent effect upon
that troublesome class. The District AT
torney has made q formal request, which
was granted, for the call Of d grand Jury
before whom the Socialists will be prose.
cuted. At 10 o'clock crowd OF several
hundred strikers was assembling near the
western limit Of the city, but the appear.
ancs Of the police scattered them in every
direction.
There is further evidence that the
riotous proceedings Of yesterday and
Tuesday are not to be renewed.
The arrests Of Socialists who have been
instrumental In urging on the riots has
been continued this afternoon. In the
houses Of two OF these were found nun.
Der OF guns, pistols, and large amount oi
ammunition concealed in the bedding.
Governor Rusk has informed Alderman
Rudinski that the latter will be held re.
sponslble for any trouble which may
hereafter arise from the doings Of Poland
ers, who have been prompted 10 acts by
Rudinski's advice.
Tonight the situation as regards the Ia.
Dor riots remain as during the day, with
every indication that all trouble has come
to an end. Two more deaths, making six
in all, have occurred from wounds re.
ceived in yesterdays iusilade. Johann
Mack and the boy Frank Nowatzke
died to-day. Martin Janhonowyk and
Albert Erdmann are In q critical condi.

OF their recovery. The arrest OF several
Socialists has been effected tonight and q
