CHICAGO, July 10.-The cancel
lation Of more train schedules in the
Middle West to-day and the placing
of an embargo on livestock ship
ments out of Kansas City on the
Chicago & Alton gave fresh evil
dence of the difficulties being en-
countered by the railroads as a
result of the shopmen's strike.
Attorney General Daugherty,
after conference with President
Harding in Washington to-day, an
nounced that claw and order must
be preserved, property and life pro-
tected and interstate commerce and
transportation of mails must not be
interfered with" and sent instruc-
tions to United States marshals in
various 0axts of the country accord
ingTy.
The story of how badly the strike
has hit number of the roads, al
though it has not yet been in effect
two weeks, was contained in their Off
cial announcements of train cancella-
tions. In the East the Erie cancelled
many suburban trains.
Western roads were the worst suf-
ferers. Dispatches from ST. Louis said
that the Missouri Pacific had taken
sixty passenger and freight trains out
Of service. and officials of the Wabash
insthe same city said they would follow
suit with a number of their local pas
senger schedules. Several more trains
wel reported as scratched by the Mis-
sours, Kansas & Texas, which dropped
forty-two trains on Saturday
One report current here tonight was
that more such announcements will be
made by other roads tomorrow, with
wholesale cancellations to follow in
the event the strike lasts much longer.
State troops continue to pour into
centers of greatest unrest TO protect
the roads in their efforts to keep their
shops open and trains running. No
serious violence was reported. but in
Illinois five more companies of troops
| We called out to guard the Chicago
Il Alton shops at Bloomington and
troops were called out in Parsons,
Kan, to patrol the shop district there.
A General effort to reopen the shops
with strikebreakers was made by the
roads that had military or police pro.
lection.
Report Strikers Returning
! The railroad heads said that many
I of the strikers returned to work to-
! Gay, needing the warning that unless
! they did so to-day taeir seniority rights
would be abolished Representative
! of the strikers asserted emphatically
! that the number of men who broke
! ranks and went back to their jobs was
| negligible.
The "reign of terror" which some
rail executives and the government
! forces feared would be staged to-da,
by the strikers, did not materialize. Or
the contrary, there was little disorder
and the strike appeared to be settling
down to an endurance of strength.
That the strikers are becoming rest
less under their inability to tie I'D tn,
transportation of the country, is indi
Gated by the attitude of members o.
the big Four brotherhoods, held a
switchmen and other branches are no
on strike, but they say their unior
rules forbid them working under police
| or troops guard and it is said they hays
asked permission of their chiefs to joir
| the strikers.
Roads Obtain Injunctions
Soldiers Jeered by Strikers
| The troops arriving in Bloomington
were met by large crowds of strikers
and strike sympathizers, who jeerec
and shouted complimentary remark:
| IS the soldiers marched through the
town to, the shops. No attempt was
made to halt them, however.
| Two companies of the Illinois
guardsmen remain at Clinton on guarc
over the shops of the Illinois Contra
/ Railroad. Early this morning, theil
officers reported, a mob of strikers at
tempted to raid the shops from an ad
joining cornfield, but were driven of
when sentries fired several shots. Afte
this snipers fired occasional shot
above the heads of the sentries at in
tervals during the rest Of the night
! One report was that these tactics wer,
caused by agents sent to Clinton t.
! provoke disorders, either by radica
| organizations or other sources, and
search for such disturbers was begun.
In Missouri the entire Nationa
1 1udio was heDC LuODlllGcQ. WO com
! panies were sent to New Frankli,
when disorders were threatened.
Kentucky Mayor Asks Troops
In Kentucky preparations to mobiliz,
500 guardsmen were reported aftel
Mayor woodward of Frankfort mad,
an appeal for them. Though this wa
ascribed as due to threatened disturb

Madisonville, where the mine of tn.
i Sunlight Coal Company is located
Mayor Woodyard's action was also sal
to have been prompted by desire t
prepare for eventualities in connectioi
with the railroad strike.
4 Among other actions involving
show of force taken at various point
was the deputizing of a number o
marshals in Oklahoma City for servic
at the shops of the Missouri, Kansa
& Texas and call for twenty-fiv
deputy marshals by the Rock Islam
lines, who sought protection for thei
shops at Cedar Rapids. Iowa.
