Prompt Action ~ Blue Island.
BLUE ISLAND. ILL, July 4.-Four
companies Of the Fifteenth Infantry
United States Army, arrived at $3.50
this morning. One Of the first acts after
their arrival was the arrest Of a switch
man by Deputy United States Marshal
Allen, for refusing to throw open the
switch at the round-hOuse, on the charge
OF violating the Federal Injunction. After
breakfast~a squad OF soldiers were sent
down the track. where two box cars were
overturned. TO assist the deputy marshals

A crew, composed partly OF Rock Is
land Office men. started to work to get

so as TO clear the main line. The sight
OF soldiers on guard was never before
seen in this part Of the country, and
their presence has subdued the inclina-
ton of strikers TO interfere with the

WHAT COLONEL MARTIN SAYS.
A Chicago special says:
At the headquarters Of the United
States Army, Department of Missouri,
Colonel Martin said. this evening:
This is the most disagreeble duty our
men are ever called upon to perform,
this settling cf civil matters, but can
assure you that they win not hesitate
become necessary, when we are once
on the scene of the trouble, the men
will shoot TO kill, or carry out any
orders given by their commanding otii-
GERS.
I'm my opinion it will not take very
long to clear the tracks and let every
train pass, once our men are in the
field. The strikers Will very soon realize
they are not fooling with special depu-
ties"
General Miles will assume command Of
the troops as soon as he arrives from
Washington and will be I'm constant COM
munication with the authorities here.
The presence of the troops at Blue
Island, South Chicago and the Stock
Yards will mean strict obedience TO the
orders of the Federal courts or swift
and terrible punishment for those who
defy the law. There IS no sentiment
about the regulars. Officers and men are
so many fighting machines, knowing only
how TO obey the commands OF their su-
periOr officers.
The Fifteenth infantry and the Seventh
cavalry are made up of veterans VINO

these troops fire on the crowd each Dull

The Stock Yards and South chicago
are particularly dangerous points, ana
Tomorrow promises TO be a critical day.
Blue Island is n storm centre, but a
company of regulars Is thought 10 be
sufficient to quell any mob that seeks 10
