| CHICAGO, July 1o.-with increas-
| ing numbers Of state troops and emer-
gency forces of United States Deputy
Marshals on guard wherever outbreaks
have been threatened, the government
today announced that life and proper
ty would be protected, the mails con-
tinued and interstate commerce not
interrupted despite the strike of rail-
way shopmen.
After a conference with President
Harding, Attorney General Harry
Daugherty, said that the government
would make certain that law and or
der were preserved through the ap-
pointment Of deputy marshals.
Five Companies Out.
The attorney generals announce
ment came shortly after Lieutenant
Governor Fred e. Sterling, acting head
of the state of Illinois, had ordered
five companies of the national guards
men to Bloomington to protect the
shops of the Chicago and Alton rail-
road. The ordering out of the state
troops followed appeals from the local
authorities who declared that civil au-
thority had collapsed and that the SOL
diers were needed to protect life and
property.
They were greeted on their arrival
at Bloomington by crowds OF strike
sympathizers with ieers and ribald
comment.
Shots At Clinton
In Clinton, Ills, where the Illinois
Central shops have been under guard
of state troops since Saturday night,
where an outbreak was threatened fol-
lowing fatal shooting affray, the day
passed off in comparative quiet, al
though several shots were fired by
sentries at group of men who were
believed to have been advancing to at
tack the shops. The attackers fled,
none of them being injured At Auro-
ra, Ills, where an emergency force of
deputy marshals has been on guard
since the Burlington obtained a tenn
porary Injunction against violence on
Saturday, several hundred strikers and
strike sympathizers held silent pa
rade about the shops. All Of the Au-
rora police force and many railroad
guards watched the demonstration,
which was orderly.
Trains Pulled off.
Aside from a few clashes the can
collation. of some passenger trains on
the shorter runs and the reopening of
shops in various sections Of the coun-
try, there were few developments in
the day. Railway executives had ex-
pected some demonstrations to furnish
the turning point of the strike, because
of the ultimatum of many roads that |
all strikers who did not return to work
today would forfeit their seniority
rights.
Fifty Run Out OF Town.
Little disorder was reported as the
result Of the efforts of the raods to
reopen their shops. At Hoxie, Ark, |
fifty non-union workmen sent there |
were chased out of town and forced !
to entrain for Popular Bluff. Mo. The
shops in Parsons. Kan, the scene of |
rioting earlier in the strike reopened |
under protection of 900 national guards
men with $50 non-union men on duty.

were resumed at the local Southern
pacific and Western shops with no
signs of disturbance. Southern Pa
