open doors of the cars as they passed by
them Fires sprung up on every hand. /
aud no organized effort on the part OF the Z,
police seemed to be under way to inter .
cept them. his is the banner district of
the city, If not of the country, for all
around toughs.
The aggregate of the losses to the rail I
roads will be enormous Miles Of their !
tracks have been ruined by the fires, and |
hundreds OF switches and signal towers
with their expensive mechanism, utterly
ruined. Thousands of cars and untold
quantities Of merchandise of every imaR- !
Unable description have fed the flames and
g6rged the larders of thieves. The loss will
reach into the millions.
In general the order Of things, compared
with that of Thursday, was reversed.
| Then the railroads were trying to break
the blockade by sending the trains out.
| yesterday they recognized the futility OF
| that method of procedure and practically
| gave up any attempt at outward move
| nient But there were some incoming
/ passenger trains on several of the roads
| together with few Of the regular milk
| trains.
| Between these two classes of traffic the
| strikers managed to make trouble for
nearly every road running in a southerly
| direction The Fort Wayne, Lake Shore,
| Michigan Central, Baltimore and Ohio,
the Illinois Central, the Alton, the Pan
Handle, the Western Indiana the Rock
island and the Monon all experienced
difficulty in greater or less degree at some
time or all Of the time during the day.
The trick of soaring the crew from a train,
cutting the engine loose, running it up
the track, opening the throttle and let
| III . F,,1l L., L.. L.,
ing train, was a new one and of a char
acter likely to be initiated.
The stoning of incoming trains was
common pastime with the mob and sew
eral persons were more or less injured by
flying missiles. One engineer on a Rock
Island train was so badly injured that it
was at first reported that he was dead
The assaults of the mobs, however, was
not met with the passive resistance which
| characterized the course pursued on Thurs
day. On two occasions at least their at
tRcks were met with accurately aimed
lead. During a riot in the forenoon over
, an incoming milk train at Kensington a
deputy United States marshal shot and
r killed two strikers, and during the after
] noon the deputies guarding an incoming
baltimore and Ohio passenger train re-
5 plied to the vOlley Of shots and stones
I which the strikers showered upon them
by turning their revolvers loose, killing
1 four of their assailants and wouuding a
number of others.
1 S r. Ritchie. a special policeman en-
e r5loyed by the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and
= Chicago road, was stoned to death by a
s mob at the Fifty-seventh street crossing
> Of that road. Ritchie who was alsd a
d deputy sheriff, caught some boys ovSr-
$ turning a switch shanty, and compelled
Them to set it upright again. While he
e was TALKING 20 the boys a mob approached
Q and attem' ID to burn the shanty. In
g attempting to hold them off with his re-
r golver he was so badly beaten that he died
y soon after.
e A new and grave feature was added tc
70 the situation yesterday when a meet
s ing of representatives of all the bodies OF
o organized labor in the city, after pro-
r tracted discussion in which a general
, sympathy strike was favored, appointed
a committee OF three with full power tC
n act and at the same time called a meet
10 ing of all organized labor for tomorrow
e to ratify their action.
e During the afternoon President Debs
If sent out large number of kilograms tC
d various labor organizations and assem-
n blies Of the A r. u, urging them to stant
d firm for at least twenty-four hours longer
y If by that time the strike situation ha,
t. not improved for the better Mr.. Debs an
n nounced, organized labor all over thu
ie country will be called out without AM
reservation whatever
D. Much apprehension was felt last even
'e ing concerning the Pullman shop anC
e. Yards The feeling in Kensington anC
ID Pullman among the strikers was intense
10 Yesterday afternoon a committee o
1t strikers made a tour of the works and or
dered the watchmen to leave the place O.
Is suffer the consequences. Some of thes
IS did so, but later returned to their posts
1t OF the situation in general it may b.
IS said TO have strengthened its grip. 1t
re most significant feature is the carrying o
In the strike east to Cleveland, tying up al
g fhe connections of the seaboard trunl
Is lines themselves and so practically reacl
or the Atlantic seaboard by tying up tn
railroads at Buffalo. Thus the strik
at would be extended from ocean to ocean.
lis Every railroad in Detroit was tied up a
to 1880 last night, in accordance with thu
m action of the joint meeting of representa-
e tives of all the local brotherhoods.
s, There is no notable relief at the point
iy heretofore placed under embargo, and tn
Of situation at Kansas City was complicatet
n by the tying up Of the Fort Scott road
II, thereby involving another southwestern
Ne line.
ht The Pacific coast suffers paralysis fror
ry which there are no indications of relie
a, and a significant note comes from Seattl,
MT Wash where the stevedores were calle
r. cut by the chief of the Knights Of Labo
y TO prevent the unloading of steame
RI from San Francisco, indicating that Gran
OF Master Workman Sovereign's promise t
he Debs TO aid him in every possible way wa
es not merely for effect,
