CHICAGO, July 4.-Taken In its en-
tirety, the day has been quiet one in
strike circles, barring an occasional
furry caused by the gathering of mobs
In the stockyardS district, which, how
ever, were held in check by police and
deputies, backed up by the near prox-
Unity of a detachment of regulars from
Fort Sheridan, for whom the strikers
have a wholesome respect. Trains are
once more moving at Blue Island, the
turbulent element having suddenly
Bimmered down when confronted by
certain wicked-looking pieces of ord.
nance and glittering bayonets. The
Chicago & Northwestern today resumed
its passenger service. which is now
moving regularly and without inter-
ference. A special grand jury will. 1t
Is stated, be called together soon for the
purpose of indicting President Debs
and other leaders of the American Rail-
way union, charging them
WITH CONSPIRACY
to impede railway traffic, contempt of
the central courts injunction and in
element to mob violence and riot.
After the troops disembarked at the
Btockyards, strikers vented their spleen
by ditching the two rear coaches of the
troop train and disabled the engine by
showing coupling pins into the cross
head guides, being careful, however,
to wait until the regulars had gotten a
safe distance away. The Illinois Cen.
tral announces that conditions on their
lines are more favorable, and that sub
urban passenger service will be re-
sumed tomorrow. The Santa Fe and
the Alton freight service is still seri-
ously crippled, though the Santa Fe
passenger trains are moving on time.
The Baltimore d Ohio passenger serv-
ice Is normal; Nickel Plate freight
service at a standstill, and passenger
trains irregular. The Chicago & Calu-
met terminal Is still at a staudstill.
The Michigan Central got out a train of
forty cars today. The situation Is i'm
proving.
The Pennsylvania railroad announces
that they will resume moving perishable
freight to and from Chicago tomorrow.
A late report tonight from Fifty-sev-
enth street is that fast train No. z, Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern, from New
York, Is held there in the
HANDS OF A MOB
