CHICAGO, Sept. 1T.--Three men, pre-
,un,abiy railway strikers or their SYM
.ashizers, to-day shot A. Lange, spe-
ia, agent of the Belt railway. Two of
,he men were armed with shotguns and
Iange was shot down without warning
=, any show whatever for his life.
Lange had been especially active in
discovering and preventing plots to
wrpck trains and destroy rail property
through switches that had been tam
nsred with, the wrecking of signal
f~ats and other depredations. He had
ssen warned several days ago that he,
Ssd incurred the enmity of the strik-
80 After the shooting the slayers ran
and have not yet been apprehended.
This was the outstanding act of vio-
,enee during the day, although there
we're sluggings. homes OF workmen
,rere stoned and the children of men at
work were driven from the streets by
aedncasionai crews" of strikers.
Riots in Shops Feared
Small riots are expected in various
>sbops tomorrow when thousands of
strikers return to work. They are
supposed to return under the terms of
The Baltimore settlement, which has
been signed by their officers. but 1t
became evident Saturday that the men
will not be bound by the terms which
remained loyal during the strike or the
men taken on since are net to be dis
turbed.
It is also clear that the strikers IN
tend TO, return as victorious army,
though it Is plain the roads have
won the strike. The men will insist
upon reinstatement of their former
ioremen, time and half for overtime
and for Sunday work and other conces-
sions not specified in the agreement.
They demand that their foremen be
paid for all time lost during the strike,
and II this demand is agreed to it is
said they will insist that all strikers
ssg ssg. date back to the time Of the walk
Loyal Men Face Problem
As far as the problem of the loyal
men and the new men is concerned, it
Is broadly intimated that the returning
strikers will make fife so miserable for
them that they will be forced to quit
the shops. They can do this in many
ways and yet on the surface make no
demands that these men be dismissed.
That the policy of driving out the men
now aI WOfR Will De Cne rule among tAe
strikers was shown Saturday in the
Alton shops, when the returning strik-
ers Immediately set upon the work
Een.
The railroads desire to protect the
men who kept trains moving, but it will
be difficult task if the unions succeed
in having the Daugherty injunction dis
missed or modified. If it is made per-
usnent and the roads are able to name
esir own foremen the oppression of
rekmen by the union radicals can be
snvented
President Jewell of the striking shop
crafts started East to-day. after he had
announced Saturday that he would de-
lay the trip indefinitely because of
various contingencies that have arisen.
Il is thought he will endeavor to line
up certain Eastern roads for the Balti-
more plan.
1t is the general opinion that the
final solution of the trouble will be the
formation of shop unions as individual
concerns on each railway system.
These shop unions are being organized
rapidly on all Western and Southern
roads.
