roads all over the country are giving aid to

receipt of kilograms showing that other
companies are rendering this assistance, and
IL is not in my power or the power OF any
other man 10 use restraint unless sucn
things are stopped"
Arthur showed the following as q sample
of the communications with which he Is
deiuged:
AURORA, March 7.-E. Reynolds. an en-
gineer, saws that he was in the employ of
the New York Central aud was forced 10
come here and run or consider himself dis
charged. Investigate. J. A. Bsureisen."
Another communication was picked from
the pile by Arthur aud handed over, with
the request that the identity of the sender
should not be disclosed. The message was
from Jackssn. Mich, and said:
"On Saturday. March 3 the follow ing
was sent TO all agents of the Michigan Gen.

This message was sent under the charter
OF No %, which Is used by no one but the

Now" said Chief Arthur. when you
know that the men have Information like
that and more coming constantly, you can
understand the danger that the strike will
spread. IL is not to be expected that they
will submit to such proceedings. but will
put stop to them eifectusily.
