STRIKE VIOLENCE.
TROUBLE IN AMERICA. STRIKERS FIRE SHOTS. TROOPS READY TO ACT. By Telegraph.—Press Aasn.—Copyright. 1 Received July 12, 9.35 p.m. New York, July 11. Chicago telegrams state the Brotherhood of Signalmen have announced that they will not join the railway strike. Violence is increasing. Troops armed with machine-guns have been posted at the workshops in Bloomington, Illinois, and several shots are reported to have been fired by strikers and snipers. The Federal Government is understood to be ready to use armed force to suppress disorders and ensure the running of trains. Large bodies of troops are being moved to possible seats of trouble. President Harding has issued a proclamation ordering all persons to refrain from interference with the maintenance of inter-State transportation and the carrying of mails, and asking the aid of all good citizens to uphold the laws and preserve public peace. The proclamation points out that the railroad labor board’s decision is binding, and ‘“'That men have the right to work as well as others have the right to refrain from working, and a peaceful settlement of the controversies is essential to the security and well-being of our people.”—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
