CHICAGO, July 11-Injhnctions, troops, deputy marshals and armed guards in steadily increasing num- bers marked the developments of to- day in connection with the railroad strike.

The railroads claim they are surmounting the difficulties incident to the strike, and that they will be able soon to operate their shops fully with non-union men; strike leaders, on the other hand, assert that the suspension of work is one hundred per cent effective, with the ranks of the strikers growing stead fly with additions from other de- partments. Thousands of mainten- ance of way men have gone out in sympathy with the shopmen.
 Hundreds of injunctions were is sued yesterday against picketing and they are being enforced today by augmented forces of deputy marshals and at many points state troops are on guard.

They are to continue to work until August 10, during which time the questions at issue will be consider ed by an arbitration board consist ing of three members appointed by the miners, three appointed by the operators and five representing the public. This board will endeavor to negotiate a new scale, but should there be no decision by August 10, the temporary scale is to be con- tinued until next April.
 The representatives of the miners, after hearing the proposal, summon ed the general policy committee to meet here next Monday to consider the matter and pass finally upon 1t.
