Strike Becoming Expensive.
The strike is getting to be costly
affair, not only for the railroad com
panies but for Uncle Sam, who in adj
dition to the regular army force on
duty Is paying for q still large. force
of deputy United States marshsis. Ac-
cording to the record kept in Marsha
Arnold's Office in Chicago, l,6s6 deputy
marshals not railroad employees ard
500 railroad employees had been sworn
in, making force of nearly 1920 dep
uties now in the pay OF the Govern
ment. The pay OF each deputy is 81 30
day and exl enses, making the cost OF
each man about 1915 day, or q total
a day for the entire force Of about S6,-
500. Inasmuch a, the list OF depaties
is being con tantly increased, Mr..
Pullman's little DISPUTE with his en-
ployes Is costing the Government q
pretty penny.

or destroying. or attempting to destroy the
property belonging to the United States OF
under its protection, cannot be regarded 9th
erMtse than as public enemies.
Troops employed against such a riotOus
mob will act with all the moderation and for
bearance consistent with the accomplishment
OF the desired end; but the necessity
that cOnfrOnts them will not with certainty
permit discrimination between guilty partici-
pants and those who are mingled with them
from curiosity and without criminal intent
The only safe course. therefore. for those not
actually unlawfully participating is to abide
neighborhoOd Of riotOus assemblages.
While there will be no hesitation or vacilla-
tion in the decisive treatment OF the guilty
this warning is especially intended to protect
and save the innocent.
