Illinois Troops Refuse to Dine With
Them.

CHICAGO. Aug. 6.-The sensation Of
the day at Pullman was the refusal Of
company NJ OF the First infantry to eat
at the same table with aon-union work
men. At 1870 o'clock Lieut. Bowra
marched company NJ up to the big mess
tent that stands on the lawn behind the
Hotel Florence. There the company was
left IN command OF Sergt Cook. When
the company came TO break ranks at the
tent entrance they were indignant to see
two tables filled with non-union employees
Of the Pullman company. The worlImen
were part Of the new force hired today.
They had been struggled In with the
soldier boys on the apology that they were
afraid TO go home for dinner. As the
practice had been tried In a smaller way
last week 10 the distaste Of the company
the soldiers were prepared for decisive
action. William Byrnes, member Of the
company, stepped into the entrance and
said:
''As volunteer soldiers the men Of
company NJ are here to see that the laws
OF Illinois are obeyed. l am not aware
that It is soldierly or that discipline
compels us 10 do what we feel is I'M
patriotic and not worthy OF gentlemen.
Ny seruples demand that shall not as
sOciate with scabs. / refuse to sit with
them at the same table"
There was outburst OF applause
from Byrnes's comrades and Sergt Cook
marched the company across the street
and broke ranks.
We will not enter that tent a dozen
priyateS said, "till we are assured that
all non-union workmen are TO be kept
out"
The workmen were finally marched
out and the company marched In. recelv-
Ing the assurance that they will here
after have the mess tent 10 themselves.
Secretary John Berry Of the Pullman
strikers central committee was arrested
tonight charged with obstructing the
mails in the late riots. Other Pullman
leaders may be arrested tomorrow.
During the past week n committee Of
the A r. u. held frequent consultations
with Mayor Hopkins. Today w. +.
Burns. director OF that organization
and the head Of the committee, admit
ted that the purpose OF their visit was
10 furnish the authorities with informa-
ton against the damage claims Of the
railroad companies. The A. r. u. men
say they expect to prove in many in
stances that the destruction OF property
for which damages are claimed was done
by men employed by the railroads and
general managers association They
claim to be able to prove that the man
arrested last Friday, charged with lead
ing riot and burning cars on the Rock
island tracks on July 5. was at that
time in the employee OF the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois road. They also claim
70 have other similar cases. Their OBJ
1ect Is to show that the a. X. u. is not
responsible for the riots and destruction
OF property.
The train yards OF the Lake Shore &
Wabash railway companies at ROot-st

strange showing Of the transplanted

supposed to govern these people. A
party of Slavs took her from her friends.
stripped her of her clothing, pinioned
her hands and feet, dashed her 10 a
stake and whipped her savagely over an
hour. She was reviled, tormented and
spat upon by anybody who cared to. She
was left at the stake and remained
there six hours, as the case is stated to
the local authorities, before anybody
dared TO release her. A young man Of
