and also an hour later train No. 2 due TO
depart at $50 o'clock this morning, left.
Neither or these trains carry sieepers, and
were permitted to proceed unmolested All
passengers on trains No. and No. 10 had
oeoc No f ATTEMPTED TO 5pn to No pull through
with two sleepers but was boarded by the
strikers and the sleepers cut off. The train
without them, but this was not DONE as
the trainmen had orders not to proceed
without their whole train. The cars were
then run on the sidetrack and remained
there until late tonight.
The first train west-bound the strikers
have molested was train No. 8, on the Erie.
This train had been at Griffith since 5
o'clock this morning, and pulled into this
met by nearly a thousand strikers and the
two sleepers detached and run on a side
track. The Monon was more successful
in running its trains, although train No. 3,
which was held up at 1O:45 O'Clock last
night, ala not get away from here until
passenger trains on this line passed through
safely, and the passengers or No. were
transferred TO train No. 81 at $50 o'clock
this morning. The passengers who were
delayed here over night suffered great
deal from want of something to eat, more
line.
The road officials asked the strikers to
permit the women and children to occupy
the sleepers during the night, but this was
refused, and they had TO remain in the
coaches, which were crowded so that none
could lie down. Shortly after noon to-day
Sheriff Fredericks received the following
reply to the message sent Governor Mat
thews last night:
I'm conference with Alexander Shields
president of the American Railway Union
of Hammond, on his guarantee that there
held and in transit until his return by the
strikers at Hammond 1 have agreed to
take no immediate action, If strikers obey
his orders as wired to-day. Make imme-
date demand for release of trains now
held inc including p6iI; Chicago Erie No. s. and
The sheriff made the demand, but it was
refused, and the result wired 10 the Gov
ernor. Local President Shields, in an inter-
view with Journal correspondent tonight,
said: Il am satisfied that the members of
the American Railway Union understand
rest where it is as far as this city is con-
cerned, providing the State officials and
officers of the railways use proper judg
ment in the matter. but should a system Of
coercion be carried on by these men the
A. r. U. boys may resent it,. We do not
want the State militia brought TO Ham
mond and l am certain if this stopping of
trains and detaching sleepers be carried
any further it will do the order more harm
than good If this boycott be carried on the
work should be done in Chicago, and not
in Hammond. AS far as this city is con-
Seerned; the boycott is practically over un-
stigation of railway officials for what has
already been done. In that case there is
no telling what the boys will do
United States Marshal Hawkins arrived
here on z special over the Monon at $50
o'clock tonight and served restraining
branch of the American Railway Union,
restraining him or any other person from
interfering with any train on the Monon
carrying the United STATES mail. .Presi-
dent Shields assured the marshal that
there would be no trolble tonight, and
when train No. on the Monon pulled in
with four Pullmans attached no attempt
was made to interfere with it in any man
ner. The marshal served several war
rants the strikers and will take his
prisoners to indianapolis tomorrow morn
ing.
If the cases, 112 in number, against the
strikers, be pushed, and if the militia be
called out the men swear they will center
force enough here to wipe out the militia.
