Vice President Howard, of the Amer

This is going to be a test case. We don
consider ourselves bigger than the law and in
cidentally, we think the railroads are not. We
are getting some evidence for the coming legal
battle and we consider it Of q pretty falr
grade Here is a letter 1 have received
telling Of evidence that most of the freight
car burning here in Chicago was done ~ two
men in the employ Of the General Ma a4lgerS
association. One of the secret agents OF a GER
tain committee saw two men on the night of the
big fire going through the yards with handcal
| loaded with infammable waste which they
lighted and Systematically threw among the
cars. This agent overheard a conversation be-
tween the men from which he CLEANED that they
j were paid 500 down and we're to receive S3JC
more when the job was done. This. under
stand was before the troops were called out
An effort is now being made to arrest these
two men. We further have pretty positive
evidence that the big man who led the mob OF
5000 at Blue Island was a PinkertOn man en-
plOyed by the railroads, and it IS significant
that although he can be easily identified yet
he has not been arrested. 1t is safe to say that
this case will not be entirely one sided.
