CHICAGO, March 29.-The first encounter
between the sympathizers of the striking
switchmen and the men who have replaced
them took place at 4:30 this afternoon,
when 'Q'' switch engine and its crew
attempted to transfer SONS freight cars to
the Northwestern tracks. A crowd of
swithmen of other roads were about the
place and began to jeer at the new men on
the 20" engine. When the train reached
Kinzie street and Western avenue it ran
off a switch that had been turned and a
number Of cars reditched. The mob then
set upon the crew of the engine and train
and the fireman and engineer took to
their heels, getting numerous cuffs as they
escaped. The new switchmen followed
suit and were pursued and roughly used
by the crowd which was made up of the
toughest kind of citizens. The Pinkerton
men, of whom there were six or eight on
the train, attempted to protect the train
men, but the mob set upon them with
savage glee and disarmed them in twink
ling. They We're powerless and after
making few efforts to defend themselves,
took to fight to escape the drubbing they
were to receive at the hands of the furious
mob
Several Pinkerton men We're hurt and
one of them is thought to have sustained
serious injuries On the same train was
Division Superintendent John BeSler, of
the Burlington. When the trouble com
menced he hurried to the front and some
one in the crowd recognized him. The
disclosure of his identity was the signal
for the mob to fall upon him. The attack
some from all sides and it was only after
having been badly used up and getting
two black eyes he escaped and ran to
switch house, where he locked himself in
escaped further punishment.
The mob quickly dispersed and only one
man was arrested. His name was William
Quirk and he is locked up at the west
Madison street police station. Police
were ordered to the scene of the disturb
ance from nearly all the stations
Quirk, who was arrested by the police,
was a Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul
switchman. His arrest precipitated
strike of III switchmen, twenty-eight en-
gineers and twenty-eight fffemen on the
Chicago, Milwaukee e st. Paul
road. When it was known that
Quirk had beeen arrested crowd
followed him to the west Madison street
station and endeavored to get him released
Numerous offers of bail was made, 5000
surity for his appearance being offered
and refused. He was locked up. When
the crowd realized that their comrade had
to remain in the police station, the Mil
yankee g. st. Paul men in their rage
decided to strike and Immediately deserted
their engines. The whole yard force of
switchmen, engineers and firemen, 277 in
all, quit work, leaving twenty-eight
engines standing on the tracks. 1t is
rumored that the brakemen of the same
road will 90 out tonight.

PrTTsBURG. Pa, March 29-General Mas
ter Workman Powderly issued a lengthy
circular today, addressed to all assemblies
of Knights of Labor. Referring to the
experience gained from the recent strikes,
he says:
What combination of hungry men could
fight battle against combination Of
dOllars9 When a workmen ceases to earn
his stomach feels it, and unless charity is
given he starves. Lay good dollar away
on shelf: let it lay year or decade,
and at the end it is as bright and useful as
ever: 1t has lost nothing from idleness--
the dollar is supreme. We must control
the dollar, curb the power of money and
cent from labor and kill the people. We
must have legislation which will compel in
dividuals and corporations to transact bust
ness On basis of real property dollars and
cents, instead of what the world calls pa
per credits or fictitious values. How can
this be done? By whom will it be done?
1t has been demonstrated that the order
Will not support strikes, will it now make
an effort to place the real issues, on which
we base our claim to recognition equally
before the people. VIII a policy of educa
tional work be sustaineds Through some
singular oversight the general assembly
never established an educational fund.
VIII our members consent to establish
such a fund by contributing 20. Is or 20
cents apiece. If so, number of good COM
petent speakers can be sent out at once,
through the order, to educate and instruct
in the principles on which this order is
based. Put the following questions before
each assembly, and give me your answer
yes or no-as quickly as it can be done:
First-Does your assembly believe in
entering at once upon al active education
al campaign?
Second-Do you believe we should send
out good competent brothers to teach the
principles of the order?
Third-Shall the general master work
men levy an assessment of Is cents per
capita to defray the expenses of lecturers?
Forthwith the general master work
man be sustained in enforcing discipline
in all departments of the order? III,
If the vote on these propositions is in
the affirmative the general master work
man pledges himself to do a work for the
