Day Brings Ominous Forebodings of an Impend-
ing Crisis as Whistles Sound Final Notes of
Railroads' Ultimatum State Police and Na
tional Guardsmen Held Ready for Call.
CHICAGO, July 10. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) A crucial stage of the
rail strike was reached tdoay tho tenth
sinco the shopmen's nation-wide walk
out.
National guardsmen were on duty in
Illinois and under arms in four other
states, United States marshals were in
charge, of law enforcement machinery
at various points, the Michigan state
i ' i .
jxmce were oruerea ana prepnred for
duty, while at other rail centers the
roads relied upon federal injunctions
and local authorities for protection in
attempting to operate shops and main
tain transportation, into which increas
ing inroads were noted.'
Hhop and roundhouse whistles shrieked
canceling seniority and pension rights
the final notes of railroad ultimatums
of strikers who refused to return to the
shops today. The day brought ominous
forebodings of an impending crisis at
many points as trouble brewed among
tho strikers. New acts of violence oc
curred at scattered points and others
were fcarod as the situation grew tenser.
The tenth day of tho strike was
marked by the apparent determination
of both sides' to stand by their posi
tions taken at the outset and indica-
tions pointed to a feverish deadlock.
Railroads generally prepared to open
their shops with what labor was avail
able, accepting returned strikers and
filling vacant jobs as far as possibly
with imported workers.
State troops patrolled tho Illinois
Central yards and shops at Clinton, Ills.,
while at ' Bloomington, Ills., city and
county officials admitting tho collapse
of civil authority and expecting further
trouble in the Chicago and Alton shops,
awaited action by Lieutenant Governor
Sterling on their appeal for troops.
A new appeal to the acting governor
wns made by Mayor Jones aud Sheriff
Morrison late lat night. They declared
tho strike situation was out of their
control . ;' ' , ' .
National guard companies wero mo
bilized in Missouri, Kansas, California,
and Indiana.", ....,..
United States Marshal Levy waa au
'thorised by Federal Judge Carpntur,
who issued an injunction restraining
strikers from interfering with operatiou
of Burlngton shops at Aurora, Ills., U
employ any necessary measures to pr.
serve ieaco there and enforce tho a
junction. Unitd States marshals increased their
forces as-they prepared ttr' take charge
of law enforcement at points in several
states where situations were critical.
Marshal E. E. Fitrpatrick and a force
of deputies went to 'Parsons, Kans.,
where state troops also were ordered by
Governor! Allen.
Several deputies were sent to Slate,
Mo., where strikers for several days
had been la virtual control of the Chi
cago and Alton shops and the town.
Marshal I. K. Pcarshall said he was
prepared to have deputies at all of the
thirteen division points in his district.
Mobilizatron of special deputies under
federal Mmarshals was made for the
additional purpose of protecting mails
and proierty of railroads in the hands
of receivers appointed by United States
courts.
J. A. Baggett, maTshal for tho north-1
era Texas district, was guarding mailt '
on the Texas & Pacific, the Missouri,

Sunday with Marshal PearshalPs men
