To BE MADE A TEST CASE.

ing statement in Jail today: This is
going to be test case. We don't con-
slider ourselves nor the railroads bigger
than the law. The case will not be one
sided as we have letter giving evidence
that the freight car burning done in
Chicago, was the work OF hirelings of
the General Managers Association. We
further have pretty positive evidence
that the big man who led the mob at
Blue Island was a Pinkerton man en-
ployed by the railroads"

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Speaker Crisp
says there will be no report from the
