Effect of the L.. a y. strike.
superintendent Darlington, of the Pan
handle, said last night that ne did not
think the strike Of the L. & n. fremen
would have any noticeable effect upon the
passenger traffic of the j.. NJ. K 4. or the
Monon because the north and south travel
at this time of the year is not very heavy.
Mr.. Miller was in his office last night
receiving information by telegraph from
the various points where there has been
trouble. He said there were no reports OF
any trouble at Chicago or Hammond and
matters were quiet on the Southwest sys-
TEN. He said he had received information
that the firemen on the l.. * y. had gone
back to work. All of them had applied
to be taken back into the employ of the
company. The request, however, was only
partially granted. The company took back
only such of those that had gone out as
they thought had not been responsible for
the strike. The Others were not received.
Whether this will further complicate mat
ters on the road or not is unknown at this
time. 1t is likely that the refusal of the
company to take all Of the men back nav
cause more trouble. and that another
strike may be ordered on the road.
The MarshnI's Reassuring News.
Last night, for the first time since the
labor riots reached the State. the news at
the office of the United States marshal was
of that peaceable nature that permitted
the chief of the department to seek his
couch at a reasonable hour. The news
that had so soothing an effect upon Mar
shall Hawkins came in the form of a tele-
gram at Z o'clock last evening. 1t was
from Isaac Kelley, in charge Of the depu-
ties at Clinton. who wired that the situa-
ton was quiet at that place and that the
sheriff OF the county had succeeded i'm NOV
ing trains. During the afternoon the Mar
shall had received another message from
Kelley, stating that he expected trouble
at Clinton last night. and asking that his
force of deputies be reinforced. The Mar
shall was preparing 90 detail ten extra men
10 Clinton when he learned that matters
had taken a peaceful turn. After selecting
ten deputies TO go to BrazH last night the
Marshal went home 10 catch a nights
sleep.
