 Chicago, July l.-Seven strike leaders are inmates of the county jail to night. Tomorrow they will be arraigned be- fore United States Commissioner Hoyne on the charge of criminally violating section of the United States statutes which provides that If two or more per sons conspire to commit any offence against the United States or to defraud the United States in any manner or for any purpose and if one or more of such parties shall do any act to affect the ob- ject of such conspiracy all of the par ties in such conspiracy shall be liable to penalty of not less than s1 ,000 or more than sl0, ,OO0 or not more than two years imprisonment. The prisoners are Edward 0'Neil, Charles Taylor, alias w. H. Taylor, John Duffy and William McMullen-who were arrested at Hyde park on the charge of knowingly and wilfully obstructing train No. 23 of the Illinois Central railroad, which carried the mails of the United States, and Frank McSorvey, fireman; c. Gus seno, also n fireman, and James Murlin, a switchman, who are charged with knowingly and wilfully 2obstructing west-bound train on the Rock Island road, at Blue Island, which carried the mails of the United States.
 1 The c,Test of the men at Blue Island was effected last night by posse of marshals in charge of Chief Deputy Logan. Upon reaching the scene the fifteen marshals were confronted by a mob of over 600 men headed by Murlin, who had been recognized by many spectators as the striker who threw the switch that ditched tine engine of the outgoing train on Saturday night. The mob was in an ugly mood, and for a while it looked as though the inarshals were at its mercy.
 Deputy Marshal Logan stated bluntly that the marshals were there for busi- ness and proposed to serve the warrants entrusted to them. Thereupon the crowd fell back and the three men were captured. They were at once taken to carriages and the horses started of at & gallop. The mob contented itself with .hurltng mprecatiOns against the of 'ficers. The sixteen-mile ride to the city occupied four hours, and it was not until nearly 5 o'clock that the men were landed in the county jail. Fifteen minutes later the contingent from Hyde Park was brought ill. s
 The prisoner made vociferousl de- mands for a hearing and bail, but no attention was paid to their request and they were locked up. United States Commissioner Philip Hoyne, when ques- toned on the subject rendered, the opinion that no immediate hearing was demanded and that no bail could be acc cepted for the men under arrest prior to preliminary hearing which Is fixed for 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. A number of local members of the A. R. U. visited the jail this evening and to- night to offer themselves as bondsmen, but were informed of the ruling of the commissioner.
 At a four hours meeting this after noon of the Trades and Labor assembly, the largest labor body in Chicago, the following were passed:
 Resolved, That the secretary of the Traues ana Labor assembly notify the officials of the A. R. U. that the assem- bly, endorses the action of the organiza- tiOn ill the recent strike and hold itself in readiness at their request to use all means in it's power to induce all the members of the organizations which are represented to lay down their tools and stop all industries, If such action be deemed necessary to make the Pull man boycott success.
 The sentiment was strong in sym- pathy with the strikers. A lively ses- sion was held, during which the lie was oppose the extending of aid to the strikers was roundly denounced.
 Tommy Morgan, the well known socialist, in speaking to the resolution, declared that now was the time for the struggle between labor and capital which has been so long impending, and that he was in favor of at once stopping work in Chicago in order to prevent what must be ill the event of the failure of labor to win in this contest a bloody revolution. These sentiments were hailed with wild cheers from the dele gates. +..r.E
 The most conservative leaders in the trades and labor assembly now admit that it will probably be matter; of a few days before most of the. work men in Chicago go out on strike. In this case they predict that the residents of Chicago will bring such pressure to bear on George M. Pullman that he will l soon accede to the demands of his men.
 At the headquarters of the A. R. U, to-day everything was quiet. Very little business was transacted, most of | the directors and organizers taking ad- l vantage of the many local meetings to l take rest. Committees reported that l the remainder of the Brotherhod flre- | men in the Illinois Central, numbering | about eighty, had been won over, and | as result no suburban trains could be | run as at first intended to-day. The engineers, however, are divided, 1nl | unless more pressure is broug ght to bear it will be impossible for the union to in- auence the men as a body. The men- bers of the Order of Railway Conduct DTS, division of the Illinois Central, have split. A number have resolved to support the A. R. U.
 The flremen on the Northwestern per- fected their< new organization to-day md all of them have been ordered out. No freight trains were got out and it was with difficulty that the passenger rains were run, as most of the passen-
