had in no way been responsible
for the bringing of troops to
Chicago or any other point, and
while he deplored the present con
dition of affairs he disclaimed all re-
sponsibility on that score. In answer
to an inquiry as to whether in his
opinion there was any way of avoid
ing q conflict, he said there was,
and he did not think conflict
would take place. He rather thought
there would be settlement of the
strike, and that through it peace and
quiet would be restored. He said he
had positive information that numer-
Gus stockholders in the railroads en-
tering Chicago had determined that
the time had arrived for them to step
in and demand of the general mana
gers that they stop their present course
and take steps to bring the strike to q
close. This is what he thought would
be done.

an incoming train, compelled all
passengers to leave the cars and then
dragged the engineer and fireman
from the cab. They then broke all
the glass in the cab and derailed the
engine. The mob then ran up to
Fortieth and Clark streets and set
fire to the Lake Shore signal house.

revolvers and police clubs were used
against the mobs which at times filled
the right of way, and the mob fought
back by overturning freight cars in
front of the line Of trains.

ty-tifth street over twenty-five box
cars were thrown across the tracks,

cars faster than the railroad officials
could clear the tracks. The train left
