companies with which we have
agreements have lived up to their con-
tracts and we have no desire to break

ductor who does not want to work can
quit after giving the company notice. If,
however he goes to the extent of attempt
ing TO get other conductors to go with

WILKINSON DENoUNcEs THE STRIKE.
The triumph of the railroad strike
would be the triumph of anarchy" said
Grand Master Wilkinson, of the Brother
hood of Trainmen to-day. The time has
arrived when things must be called by
their right names without any foolish
delicacy. It is a foregone conclusion
though, that the movement must fail.
That is my conviction. Any other

ordered out by their union for
anything it is different Instead of being
a struggle for the supremacy of organ
lzed labor this strike is a terrible blow at
worklngmen's unions. Unions have made

they are aiming at the life of the unions,

TRAIN BROUGHT IN.
Twenty-Five cars, loaded with coal and
meat, were brought into the city to-day
over the Pittsburg and Fort WAYNE rail
road. The engine aud cars We're manned

of the train, which was the first moved

slow and dii1icult. Mobs were assembled
at every crossing, and when the crossings
We're reached the train stopped the

But that vast amount is insignificant in
