looking over his mail. Secretary kelliher,
while awaiting his turn in the barber's

the American Railway Union, made the
following statement:
This thing is going to be a test case.
We don't consider ourselves bigger than
the law, and incidentally We think the
railroads are not. We are getting some
evidence for the coming legal battle. Here
is letter telling of evidence that most Of
the freight car burning in Chicago was
done by men in the employ of the General
Managers Association. Secret agents OF
a certain company had two men going
through the yards with a handcar loaded
with infiammable waste. which they
lighted and systematically threw among

ton between the men, from which he
CLEANED they were paid 500 down and
were we're 10 receive $500 more when
the Job was done. This understand
ing vas before the troops were called
out. An effort is now being made 10 ar
rest f&essr two men. We further have
positive evidence that the man who led
the mob Of 5, 000 at Bhe Island vas
Pinkerton man employed by the railroad
company. and il is significant thar, al
though ne could be easily identified. he
has not been arrested. IL is safe to say
that this case will not be entirely enc
sided"
At American Railway headquarters
there was larger crowd today than for

thorities was severely criticised and the
usual claim that the strike is still on was
made.
