NOT FOR DEBS
Is the Crown of Mar

STRIKE YET SPREADS.
Runs in All Directions
Like Wildfire.
BLOOD HAS BEEN SHED.

CHICAGO. June 30.-General Superin-
teudent Lore of the Panhandle road re-
ceived dispatch while in attendance al
the meeting of the General Managers As
ISOLATION to-day stating that strikers were
tearing up the tracks at One Hundred and
Thirtieth street. He at once took a
special engine to the scene of the riot
Mr.. Lore insisted that the company is moi
given adequate police protection at that
place and the General Managers Ass0cia-
tion issued call to United States Marshal
Arnold for more deputies.
The Ann-street trouble was precipitated
by a brakeman drawing a revolver when
strikers undertook to interfere with him.
The fellow was badly handled before be
was rescued by the police. General Su-
perintendent Lore on his arrival at One
Hundred and Thirtieth street telegraphed
that the mob drove the station agent to
RiVerdale from his Office just as he had
SUNNI oned Lore by telegraph. and then
began a general demolition of the tracks.
The station agent barely escaped with bis
life.
Superintendent Lore cf the Panhandle
came back from Riyerdale at 9 o'clock TO-
night, and said that a mob has seized
freight No. 20, chased the engineer and
nreman off the engine, took the crew away
from the train and put all Of them under
guard. The mob then ran the train on the
side track, cut off the engine and caboose
and put the engineer and fireman back on
the engine and the crew in the caboose and
ordered them to pull out-they did not
care where, but 10 get out of there, saying
they would kill any man that came down
there and wanted to run any trains while
the strike was Oh.
Riyerdale is practically In the hands OF
a mub and without protection from the
authorities. The Panhandle fast trains
from Cincinnati, New York and Louis
Vile and Indianapolis are all in the hands
of mob. A special train has been made
up to carry thirty Deputy Sherffs to the
scene, and it will reach Riverdale at about
II o'clock. Serious trouble is expected.
At their meeting this afternoon the
general managers considered the question
of arresting Debs and prosecuting him
under the United States laws relating to
the detention of the mails. 1t was finally
decided not 10 arrest him. thus foreslall-
ing any claim to martyrdom.
Advices to the Associated Press from
various points indicate that the strike is
spreading. President Debs is Issuing
orders to strike in almost every section
and they seem to be very generally obeyed
in every direction. 1t is claimed on behalf
of the railroad companies that the move
ment will eliminate to-day and that the
lessening of traffic On Sunday will enable
them to organic their forces more ef-
fectually. On the other hand Sundays
rest will turn loose thousands OF the work.

that the action of few hot-headed men
may result in great disorder.

been free from disturbance up to this
morning, is now completely tied up in all
the adjacent territory.
The stockyards. so far as receiving and
distributing interests are concerned. are

of dressed meats outward and livestock
inward. The Pttsburg and Fort Wayne
road is severely crippled in its terminals,
but the Illinois Central suburban SER
vice, which carries more people TO and
from business in Chicago than any other
line, is completely tied up. The Chicago
and Eastern Illinois line is nearly blocked,
and the ether roads which use the Chicago
and Western Indiana Railway as ter
minal are suffering because of the strike
on that line. These roads. are the Chicago

The Chicago and Northwestern reports
that it is receiving and dispatching Its

A like condition is reported very gener-
