accustomed TO report at the O'Clock roll
call at the police station every morning,
remained on duty yesterday morning until

the men went TO their homes to snatch a
few hours of sleep. The day men reported
al the police station a few moments earlier
than usual. These are under the charge of
Captain Quigley. At 10 o'clock Superin-
tendent Powell gave orders to have the
night force aroused and report at the po-
lice station. The orders stated that the
men would remain at the station night and
day until the present trouble has abated
sufficiently or is over. The men reported
promptly al the station, thus making the

hour ready TO be detailed on duty.

cided to divide the force into three par
ties, in order that each division might get
eight hours sleep instead of the whole
force being worked at intervals. thus tir-
ing the men out. Superintendent Powell
ordered thirty cots TO be taken to the po-
lice station TO be used by the men. When
the cots arrived there they were at once
seized by officers who had seen duty for
thirty-siX hours. The cots will be occupied
by the different divisions at their allotted
times. None of the officers will go home,
excepting possibly for meals, and, if il can
be arranged they will try to have their
meals brought to them at the police sta
ton. Superintendent Powell and Captains
Campbell and Quigley will also remain al
the station. Superintendent Powell has a
cot in his office in which he will sleep.
Captains Campbell and Quigley will use
cots in the upper rooms and the patrolmen

THE FEDERATIoN's RESOLUTIONS.
Labor Organization Wants IN Arbi-
trafiOn Tribunal.

The Central Federation of Labor met last
evening at it's hall. 1919 Virginia avenue.
The strike was the topic of discussion. Opin-
ion as to the proper course TO pursue was
much divided, as was the sentiment, but
there was unanimty in opposition to all
unlawful methods. The following resolu-
tions were adopted:
Whereas, The present strike of railway
state carrying trade, the general incon-
venence and financial loss to the travelling
public and business community, is the re-
suit of willful stubbornness on the part OF
one party to insignificant controversy
Whereas, Mr.. George Pullman stead
tasty refuses to submit the differences
pending to arbitration, thereby preclpltat-
ing trouble upon the country in which the
unthinking and lawless element among the
their fellows at Pullman's hand upon in
nocent people who are utterly unable TO
help their cause; therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Central Federation of
Trade and Labor Organizations of Indian
apolis that we favor the creation of ma
tional and State tribunals for the fair and
impartial hearing and adjustment of labor
disputes upon request of either party to
any such disputes after dilgent effort to
reach a mutual agreement has been made.
Resolved, That said tribunals should
be so instituted that when persons not con-
nected with such CONTROVERSIES are made to
suffer through inconvenience loss of trade
in any manner a result of strike

SERIOUS RIOTING.
Federal Officers Roughly Handled
and Uncle Sam Defed

BLUE ISLAND, ILL.,. July 2-The present
outlook here is not the most prosperous for
law and order. There is a very turbulent
element among the strikers, especially
among their sympathizers, two thousand of
whom are employed in the different brick
yards at Blue Island. These men are off
for the Fourth of July and it is this ele-
ment that is most feared

stopped by the strikers A small riot fol-
lowed in which guns and knives were drawn
and great knock-down fight occurred.
Depty Marshal John \. Logan was stabbed
In the left side with a dirk; Master Me-
chanic Fitzgibbons was hit on the head
with a stone, and other deputy marshals
were stoned and kicked. The Blue Island
police were put under arrest for trying TO
arrest deputy marshals
Nothing further of interest occurred until
this evening, when a train arrived bearing
Assistant District Attorney Mather and
forty deputies. Mr.. Mather handed Marshal
Arnold the injunction granted by Judges
Woods and Grosscup, and the marshal read
1t aloud to the strikers. He advised them

peaceably TO their homes This was greet
ed with loud protestations of disfavor Then
ne said: In the name Of the President of

leers and curses for the President and the
United States interference with their bust

The mob was next addressed by United

THE BOYCOTT IN THE EAST.
Eli Perkins Interviews Several Penn
syIxania Wen. Who OppOse Debs.

Speaking of the Debs boycott" said Eli
Perkins, who passed through Indianapolis
last night over the Pennsylvania road, II
don't think there will be any trouble east
of Indianapolis. The Pennsylvania boys are
all loyal to their road. When l asked
Pennsylvania brakeman in the Columbus
depot if the boys were going to strike, he
said:
Strike? Nav. What do we want to
strike for? We don't want anything. I'm
drawing $40 month, and sometimes $50
and $50. and my conductor gets $l35. Do
you think ten thousand of us Pennsylvania
railroad men are going TO lose our places
and strike for the benefit of two thousand
e-gloved Pullman wagon makers? Do
you take us for hay-Seeds, like those Chi
cago fellows that Debs has hooded? Why,
that amt railroading. If we boycott car
builder why not boycott a mine owner. be-
cause he won't raise the wages of his Huns
and Slavs"
mike is talking straight interrupted
Conductor Fitzpatrick, who runs the train
from Columbus TO Indianapolis. The Chi
have run into hole, and we Eastern rail-
readers won't follow them. 1t won't be a
week before this man Debs will be as bad
off as Martin Irons, who tore up Goulds
Missouri Pacific, and is now in the poor
house. Debs's head is turned by his little
temporary success upon Jim Hills snow
bank road A boycott is not strike. A
strike is all right, but a boycott is con-
spiracy-in this case conspiracy to ruin
George Pullman. Debs is lawbreaker, and
we Pennsylvania men will never follow
any man who asks us to break law or
commit a crime.
II had other talks with Conductors Bur-
rows and Lew Baker," said Eli Ion the
Panhandle.
Why, said Baker. it is impossible for
Debs to succeed. A third of our men are
idle. Many of them are headed for Chica-
go now. This Debs boycott will simply
cause good men 10 go out and idle men
will take their places. Railroad officials
who have billion dollars worth of roads
are not going TO surrender them to such
Coxey tramps as Debs, without a dollar
behind them
Il find this is the sentiment" continued
Eli, that is prevailing over the East. IL
= only a mad maniac that has secured lot
of switchmen and railroad hangers-on
around Chicago. The working rank and
file are ready to go to work again."

and to-day were by wagons.
Business Will he necessarily suspended

and the beef is in danger of sDoing, and
ice-making machinery must soon stop run
