nearly car load of non-union men who

SUPERINTENDENT Kline and Trainmaster
Mills report that the alleged demonstra-
tions made along the line against the non
union men now operating their trains
have been very much magninea and really
do not amount to anything more than the
throwing OF few rotten eggs at the
trains. Mr.. Mills said he would start
coal train to Gilman today.
sTRTKsER NOR BLAcKLisrKD. .
Superintendent Kline said yesterday
that he never threated TO blacklist any OF
the striking employees Of the Lake Shore
roan. and that Judge Hanford had said
nothing TO him on the subject. He con-
tinued:
''The word Establishing Is hardly ever
used nowadays by railroad men, and had
any notion of retaiiating unon the strikers

them beforehand. | never threaten. and
Ii is part of my religion never to say what

nothing 10 me about the matter. because
the proper officer TO deal with him is Re-
ceiver Brown, in whose employ am.

DID NOT STRIKE HERK.
None of the ira des unions In this city
went on strike yesterday. contrary TO the
expectation of many who supposed that
all organized labor throughout the country
would be paralyzcd as the result of the
conference of labor leaders In Chicago on
Tuesday evening. Secretary Middleton of
the Western Central Labor Union says
that the executive committee of the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor has not yet met
TO consider the question OF striking. but
that President Gompers has called a meet
ing for that purpose Should the fedora
ton advise sympathetic strike, II would
still have TO be ordered by the president of
each of tho international labor unions
The knights OF Labor in this city arevery
few ia number and are employed manly
as laborers, controlling no branch of in
dustry. Consequently the edtct Of Grand
Master Sovereign calling upon them to
strike was not oheyed in this city.
MOVEMENTS OF rHE a. r. o.
The local branch OF the American Rail-
way Union held large aud enthusiastic
meeting last night, and sent kilograms OF

other officials OF the order who were ar
