largest force he could command would be
inadequate TO cope with the situation
! there, and asking him to request the
Secretary OF War to issue orders for the
/ troops at Fort Sheridan TO move on the
scene of trouble. Marshal Arnold also
! sent "A dispatch TO District Attorney Mil
christ telling him what he had done,
and asking him TO back up the request for
! troops. Milchrist sent the desired tele-
| gcam, and another of like import was sent
to the Attorney General by the lawyers of
the railroad

NOTICE OF THE INJUNCTION.
Chicago, July 2, 9 p. United States
| Marshal Arnold proceeded to Blue Island
early this evening and served notice on
| the strike leaders of the injunction
granted by the federal court. The news
| quickly spread among the men, and since
! il has become generally known affairs at
Blue Island have become much more
quiet. No attempts have been made by

THE MOB IN CONTROL.
Blue Island, July Striking railroad
| men and sympathizing citizens of Blue
| Island derided and defed an injunction
| issued by the United States court today,
| and treated 300 law officers of the state
and federal government in the same
manner Tonight the mob is in
undisputed possession of the prop
erty of the Rock Island Railroad
| Company. The employees Of the brick
! yards in this vicinity, numbering l,OO0
| men, will be on strike tomorrow in sym
pathy with the American Railway Union
| boycott and the Rock Island strikers par
| tiCularlY. Most or the DrlcK yard men
went out tonight, and will increase the
! size and danger of the mob tomorrow
morning The force of special deputy
| marshals and sherffs sent here are pro
| nounced by their commanders practically
! useless and by the strikers arrant cow
ards, hiding behind cars and in them for
! fear of being hurt.
WON'T FURNISH FOOD.
The people of the town, and the author
| tiles. have conspired not only to render
all the aid in their power to the strikers
without getting in the meshes of the law,
but also to starve the civil officers by re
fusng them food and threatening to boy
cott anyone who supplies it, Early in
! the day the mob became riOtous and only
the discretion displayed by United States
| Marshal Arnold and Chief Deputy Lieb-
rant prevented a bloody conflict be
tween the forces of law and order
and those massed here for the purpose Of
keeping the Rock Island tracks blocked
| to traffic as long as Pullman cars are run
for the railroad company The presence
of militia or United States soldiers from
Fort Sheridan is requisite to open the
Rock island line and keep it open. The
| strikers nave no more respect for the au-
thority of deputy sheriffs and marshals
than they have for the railroad property
or the officials Of the company. who have
been here all day trying TO get trains
