NlhCuEO, July lls--lutIt was Il us

strikers during the day.

Guardsmen and deputy United States

functions, the striking railmen fore
bore any violence.

jury or an overt act of picketing
was reported during the day
Five companies Of Illinois National
Guardsmen, ordered into Blooming
ton by Acting Governor Fred Ster-
ling at the request of Mayor e. e.
Jones, who fearel an outbreak, al
though the situation had been quiet
since Sunday night, slept on their
arms, but found no work to do.
Aurora Shopmen Quiet
Expected violence in the Aurora
shops of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad failed to materialize
during the day, the striking workman
remaining within the bounds of the
federal injunction prohibiting inter
ference with workers.
Upwards of 1000 strikers paraded
up and down the street opposite Bur-
lington shops, where 300 men who
failed TO go on strike were plying
their tools, but the picketing was
absolutely silent and entirely peace
full. When the men were warned away
by local police they returned to their
union headquarters without protest
Ten deputy United States marshals,
ordered to Aurora to quell any VOL
ence which might arise and to see
that the federal injunction against
pcketlng was respected, found moth
ing to do. but remained on call.
Radicals New Menace
While striking railmen themselves
offered no violence, a new peace
menace developed in the Clinton, H.,
strike zone in the activities of radi-
cal ENJOYS believed to have been
sent there for the purpose of provok-
2ng clashes between the strikers and
the National Guardsmen.
States Attorney w. f. Smith or
dered the city combed for l. w. w.
representatives and other profess
sional agitators, following a report
of the firing of two more shots over
the heads of sentries in the Illinois
Central roundhouse yards.
Striking pickets on duty there
denied vigorously that any Of their
number did the shooting, charged a
frameup and demanded an investiga-
ton. The investigation revealed the
presence of a number of strangers,
believed to have been reds, who at
tempted to foment feeling against
the guardsmen.
Acting Governor Sterling sent
troops into the Bloomington strike
zone and issued q proclamation to
the city of Bloomington following the
request of city officials.
