perlenced difficulty in greater or less de-
gree at some time, or all of the time dur
ing the day. The trick of soaring the

loose and running il up the track, open

back on The standing train was anew one

The stoning of incoming trains was a
common passtime with the mobs, and
several persons were more or less in

on Rock Island train was so badly in

SIX STRIKERS KILLED.
The assaults of the mobs, however,
We're not met with the passive resistance
which characterized the course pursued
yesterday. On two occasions at least,
their attacks were met with accurately
aimed lead. During a riot in the forenoon,
over an incoming milk train at KenSing-
ton, deputy United States marshal shot
ana killed two strikers, and during the
afternoon the deputies guarding an in
coming Baltimore and Ohio passenger
traln, replied to the vOlley of shots and
stones which the strikers showered upon
them by turning their revolvers loose,
killing four of their assailants and wound
ing number of others
A new and grave feature was added to
the situation this morning when a meet
ing of representatives of all the bodies of
organized labor in the city, after pro-
tracted discussion. in which a general
sympathy strike was favored, appointed
committee of three with full power to
act, and at the same time called a meet
ing OF all organized labor for next Sunday
to ratify their action.
Late this afternoon the Second regi-

OF the situation in general the strike
may be said TO have strengthened its grip.
Its most significant feature is the carry
ing of the strike east TO Cleveland, tying
up all truck lines there, with the promise
by tomorrow that it will reach the trunk
lines, and practically the Atlantic sea
board, by tying up the roads at Buffalo.
Thus the strike would be extended from
ocean to. ocean.
AS result of a prolonged conference,
orders were issued to the First and
Second regiments, including Com pany A
of cavalry and battery d, to report to
Inspector Hunt of the police department
at Thirty ninth street and the Fort
Wayne tracks at O'Clock sharp.
TO BACK Up THE POLICE.
The troops will be employed to re-en-
force the effort of the police department
to clear the tracks south of Thirty-ninth
street. An order was also issued that the
Seventh regiment should remain on wait
ing orders at the armory. The Third and
Sixth infantry, under the command of
Brig. Gen. Welch. and which are now en-
route from StreatOr, Joliet and other
points, will report to Inspector FitZpat
rick for service within the stock yards
district proper The outside troops are
expected TO arrive here by 6 o'clock.
While the conference was in progress
information was received at the
mayors office that the mob in the lawtess
district was constantly increasing, and
that most Of the rioters were armed. A
bloody conflict tonight between the
militia and the mob seems inevitable.
Mayor Hopkins announced to-day that
he had called for the troops in order to
disperse the mobs, which are becoming
menace to public safety
A CLASH OF AUTHORITY.
When asked if he would act in concert
with the federal troops or ignore them en-
tirely in sending out the militia, he re-
piled Significantly: we know nothing
about the federal troops. They were
brought here for purpose They sit on
top of cars. We want men who will get
down upon the ground and do their
duty"
While no clash is expected to occur be-
tween the state and federal
troops, it is plainly. the in,
state authorities to show their resent
ment to federal invasion by entirely ig-
noring the regulars. The state troops
will be assigned to guard duty wherever
deemed best. regardless of the presence
or absence of the government men. The
orders to be given them will be to dis
perse the mobs at any cost,
and TO permit of disturbances
of any sort. Instead of permitting
the men to ride about in trains and
"bluf' the crowds with a show of
strength, the mayor says he intends to
cause the militia to thoroughly and effec
tually prove their power and end the
rioting. whether on private property or
in the streets. Gen. Wheeler S instructions
from the mayor are to act in full capac-
ity as city police and the orders are ex-
pected to be carried out in full
GEN. MILES EXPECTS NO FRICTION.
Gen. Miles knew nothing about the call
ing out of the state militia by the gov
ernor until shown the news dispatch
from Springfield. He says ne did not be
lieve there would be any conflict between
either the intention or the action of the
federal and the state troops The duty of
the federal troops was clearly defined in
the Presidents dispatch to Gov Alt
geld. and that duty is simply to
prevent interference with the mails
and TO interstate commerce. The duty
of the state troops, on the other hand, Is
to prevent the destruction of property
and to preserve peace and order. Gen.
Miles therefore, considers that the fed
eral and state troops will work in CO.
operative way without interfering with
each other. He regards it as probable
that Gen Wheeler will call upon him in
conference before issuing any specific
nrdnrs for the Rm mnlnVmnnt of the militia
