Chicago, July 3.--Amid the explosion
OF the harmless engines of mimic war
fare on this, the eve of the nations
emancipation. sterner tragedy into
which the elements Of military power
plays the leading part is being en-
acted The iron hand of the Federal gov
eminent has been raised against those
who have not only transgressed against
its vested rights. but have scoffed at
the mandates OF its courts and used
violence towards its representatives.
Not against the railways are the
American Railway union strikers and
their sympathizers contending for the
glittering steel In the hands of men
whose trade Is only to kill, Is inter-
posed to the end that United States
mails and Interstate commerce shall
once more resume Its normal move

n most deplorable condition, every
effort to raise the embargo having
been met with every form of obstrue-
tlon by men who would not dare lift
n hand to set a turning the wheel Of
commerce. the puny efforts OF the
handful of officers of the courts being
laughed TO scorn by thousands OF
strikers and their friends.

pectations the threatened riots al Blue
