erty, as this is considered a fight upon
the United States authority and will
be treated as such.
Strikers Are Enjoined
Federal Judge Carpenter granted an
injunction against strikers at Aurora,
Ill, from picketing the Burlington
shops or interfering with the operation
of trains or the bringing in Of men to
fill vacant places in the shops. A SINH
lar injunction was granted against
strikers harassing other Burlington
shops.
The Chicago & Alton Railroad ap-
pears to be the hardest hit of all the
lines. A number of its engines have
nlysteriously "gone bad" since the
strike. All passenger and freight serv-
ice in and out of Bloomington has been
discontinued.
The Missouri Kansas & Texas line
has discontinued forty three local
trains, and lines operating in Chicago
have suspended four suburban trains.
Another blow to the striking shop
men was seen in the announcement by
D. w. Holt for the signalmen that they
would not strike. Further wage nego-
tiations with the Railroad Labor Board
are to be undertaken.
States Raj Labor Board, insists the
strikers must return to work before
further plans can be considered, and
B. NJ. Jewell, head OF the shop crafts,
declines to say anything, except that
the strike is 100 per cent effective.
new outbreak Of violence, in which
two shop workers in the Illinois Cen
trail shops, at Burnside, were slugged
and slashed with knives to-day marked
the beginning of the second week of
the strike.
A heavy police guard was main
tanned in the Burnside district after
yesterdays rioting, and trouble also
was expected at the Nickel Plate
shops, where the shop workers who
did not go out got their first pay
checks since the strike was called.
The two men who were slugged are
Mike Kukynak and Andrew Polish.
kukynaK is a helper in the round
house and Polish is a welder, who has
been employed in the same shop
twenty-four years. Both were on the
night shift.
Within the last two days fourteen
trains of the suburban service of the
Chicago & Northwestern Railroad have
been cut off, but this curtailment of
service is attributed not to the strike
OF the shopmen, but to the threatened
coal shortage caused by the strike of
the coal miners.
Samuel NJ, Felton, president CT the
Chicago Great Western Railroad and
chairman of the executives group here,
asserted the movement of trains in
this territory was unaffected by the
strike and that he would adhere to the
announced determination to interfere
IN no way with the Railroad Labor
Board. When asked regarding the re-
ported negotiations Of officials of the
Northern Pacific with union leaders,
ne declared he could conceive of no
railroad going back of the labor
board" and expressed doubt as to the
accuracy of the report.
Governor Arthur NJ Hyde of Mis-
souri,, to whom frequent appeals were
made for troops, exchanged communi-
cations with strikers on the Missouri
Pacific. The strikers, in a telegram
| to Governor Hyde, thanked him for the
fair and impartial position" he had
taken in refusing to order troops to
strike centers and assuring him they
would do everything in their power to
prevent violence or the destruction of
property.
in reply, Governor Hyde told the
strikers their right to quit work sing
ly or collectively would be recognized
and asked them in return to Cooperate
IN the protection of other men, who
also had right to work. The Cover
nor assured the strikers that if they
made good on their promises there
would be no necessity for calling state
troops. Meanwhile, however. Several
companies We're held in readiness.
