WABASH MEN ORDERED OUT.
ST. LOUIS, No., July 2.-President
Debs has issued an order for strike on
the Wabash system which will COM

quit work. They were all expected to
be out shortly after midnight. The
order includes conductors, firemen,
swltchmen ard all other classes OF
employees.
The leaders assert shat their grievance
against the Wabash is an old one. Sew
eral months ago the company forced
general reduction of wages, amounting
to about 10 per cent. The men accepted
the cut gracefully at the time, but since
the Inauguration of the present strike
they came TO the conclusion that this
was a good time TO have their old wages
restored.
AT East st. Louis the brakemen en-
ployed on all the roads entering that
city have made known their determine
tion to strike. The carbuilders and in
spectors refused TO go out.

st, Louis division of the Mobile &
Ohio road have been ordered to go out.
Strikers met last night and appointed
a committee of five to meet similar
of street railway men, to
discuss the advisability of having the
of the city lines join the ranks
of the strikers.
The outbound passenger trains got
away without appreciab!e delay to-day,
being made eup by yardmasters, office men,
&c. of the Terminal NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Freight traffic, however, experienced no
change, the strikers having thoroughly
stopped the handling of all such trains
and cars. The men out here continue
in a peaceful mood, with no indications

STRIKERS HELD FOR A HEARING.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, July D. United
States Marshal Hawkins arrived this
evening with the nine strikers whom he
last night in Hammond. They
seemed to consider their arrest as joke
until District Attorney Burke talked to
them. The men are all heads of fami-
lies and many of them are natives of
Indiana, while one or two have lived in
the State but short time District
Burke told them they were not
TO interfere with mail trains, or they
were subject TO be called into court each
day, and if they did not conduct them
selves in an orderly manner, it would be
serious for them.
"The government will run mail
trains," Mr.. Burke said, "if it takes all
the troops. and every citizen in the
United States to do it."
The personal bonds of Charles
Steward, Charles Merriwether, August
Talbot and Thomas Knox were placed
