STRIKERS ARE RETREATINo.
NO TROUBLE IN CHICAGO TO-DAY
NO MODS aATHERED.
General Miles and Railroad Managers
Say the Situation Ia Improving.

.svn the Quiete5t To-Day since the Boy
colt against the Pullman has com.
menoed and 1t now appears as II the
riot was over. There were no riots
this morning and tho men who were
yesterday congregated about the
different yards In groups have dis
persed. Railroad managers OF the
railroads entering here report I'm.
provements all along tho lines and
most oil them are now handling pas.
senger trains. There IL also a grad.
ual resumption OF freight service.
The most encouraging prospect
comes from the striking workmen ON
the big Four" line. They say they
will return to work. They were or
dered out by the union but mover had
any grievance against the company.
General Miles. U. s. A. said at eleven
O'Clock that there had not been any
disorder the entire morning. The stu.
alton is therefore improving. More
trains are running through. 1t is pos
slble now for the police alone to queli
any disturbances which might arise.
The 1000 additional troops will be kept
on hand In case Of All emergency.
THE swITcHMEN 90 OUT.
TOLEDO. Ohio, July 9.-The swltch-
men on the Lake Shore Line went out
this morning. These yards are used
by NIL the Vanderbilt lines. the Mlohl-
gan Central and the O. Ii. & d. and
Detroit Division. Freight and grain
traffic will be seriously affected, as
also will the passenger service. A
general strike 10 expected this after
noon on tho Toledo and Ohio railroad.
THE SITUATION HERE.
The Pullman boycott has not yet
extended to the east and 1t is probable
that 1t will not. As precautionary
measure, however, the force Of night
watchmen at the plant here has been
increased from eight to eleven men.
General Superintendent Bridge this
morning said that the men here were
satisfied and that they would not Join
the strikers. He had instructed the
foremen OF the various departments
to find II there was any discomfort
ment among the men, but there was
none found.
The order OF the knights Of Labor
Of Pennsylvania calling out the men
on the Pennsylvania railroad, which
operates the p, W. Il. b.. has nslth-
er been felt hero. There is no organi.
zation OF the Knights OF Labor here,
but the railroad men belong to rail-
road unions, particularly tho engl-
neers, who have no interest in the
strike and no sympathy for Debs.
Superintendent L. T. Brooke OF tho
road says there are but few Knights of
Labor men In the employ Of the COM
pany and II they did go out 1t would
not interfere with the movement OF
the trains. He had not heard of the
order to go out. 1t Is said there is q
branch OF the American Railway
Union here, which was formed by Agi.
tator Martin when here. and that 10
contains about 600 members. II such
is fact private meetings are held az
no information on the matter could
DO ascertained.
CHICAGO. July 9th.-The switohmen
on the Lake Shore Air Line junction

Central II. Il. this afternoon.
A good many roads resumed run
ming freight trains this m ornlng. Big
four men that were ordered out arr
going back to work. Have Just heard
from Genl Miles headquarters. There
10 not now or has been up to l0.l5 q
M. any trouble to-day.
General Miles says: 1.-THE situation
Is improving, more trains are being
run and no mobs have formed. Its
possible now for the police to drive
away the crowds that gather. the one
thousand additional troops being
brought merely In case they are
needed.
General managers report improve.
ment all along the line OF mosI
roads handling passenger servlos
promptly, and there is resumption
OF freight business.
All the newspaper offices at lO.45 q
m. report things quiet and situation
improved, In this sense there are less
apprehenslons on all sides and fewer
slgns OF possible trouble. The trade
unions decided to walt until Wednsa.
day before going on any sympathetic
strike. That Ia important as by that
time excitement will be less. besides
