There has boon no material change

inco Saturday. The excitement did
not abate any yesterday , but on the
contrary Boomed rather to increase.
ABRESTINO THE LEADERS.
About(5 o'clock Saturday evening
.wp arrests wore made by the officers
on warrants issued by Judge Bonoko
luring the forenoon. Those warrants
wore sworn out by Deputy Marshal
rfcGluro , under the direction of May
or Boyd , and charged an assault with
ntont to kill.
The first arrest was that of Major
V. A. Fonda , who was taken
n custody as ho came
out of Turner Hall by
Deputy Sheriff Orowoll. Barney
Shannon was arrested about the same
imo at his saloon on 10th street by
Sheriff Miller. Both parties appeared
n police court , where Walter Bonn ot
appeared in their bohaU in the matter
of giving bail , which was fixed by tht
judge at $2,000 , the bond requiring
them to appear at 10 o'clock Thursday
morning and in the meantime to keep
the peace.
Warrants had also boon issued for
President Walsh , of the Labor union ,
nd James Knight , president of the
Iron Moulders union , who about 7 in
kho evening voluntarily
BUIUIINDEUED THEUSELYE8
to the authorities and gave bail In the
same manner as the others. NY. 0.
Van Norman , the secretary of the la
bor union , was also wanted by the of
ficers , but had not boon found up to
last accounts. Warrants for John
Dee and about ono hundred others ,
names unknown , are out , under whicl :
numerous arrests will no doubt bo
made.
It will bo a hard matter to convict
any of those men of this charge ,
and with respect to Majoi
Fonda there has probably boon
a mistake made as ho did not even
participate in the processions and be
yond avowing himself a socialist and
giving counsel and advice to the workingmen -
ingmon , which was always temperate
and sound , he has had but little con
nection witli the strike.
The whole affair has boon quite a
surprise and has not helped to create
better fooling.
11KD IU11I10N8.
The event of greatest interest yes
terday was the mass mooting an
nounced to take place nt Jefferson
oquaro m the afternoon. Before ono
o'clock the crowd began to drifl
in the direction of the square , men ,
women and children , on foot and iii
carriages , joining to swell the throng ,
AH the members of the Labor Union
and their sympathizers and friends
wore a knot of rod ribbon on the lap-
pel of their coats , and the number o !
rod ribbon mon was larger than was
over before soon in the city , At 2
o'clock Jefferson square and ovorj
avenue loading thereto was throngct
with citizens , workingmen and those
who wont through curiosity. The
park was ono solid
MAB8 Or HUMANITY.
The streets were lined with hones
and carriages , all the fences in the
vicinity were transformed into seats ,
and the windows , doors and porchoi
of all the buildings about were filloc
with lookers , on. The Bohemian bam
and the band of the Ancient Order o ;
Hibernians were present and playoc
some very pretty ( piocea before am
during meeting ,
PRESIDENT WALSH
called the assembly to order and ad
dressed them at some length. He
said the object ot the mooting was to
obtain an expression of nentimonl
from the law abiding citizens
In regard to the presence of troops in
this city in time of peace.
Ho censured the act of the mayor am
sheriff in surrendering the city to the
national government , without oven
trying to quell the disturbance. II <
said the "mob" would hayo assiatoc
them and denied emphatically any
premeditation of the riotor'a proceed
ings of Wednesday by the Labor
Union who disclaimed all connection
with the disturbance of that day. He *
forcing to the arrests ot himself and
others , the speaker merely said ho
thought the mayor and sheriff had
acted indiscreetly. If Btephonson had
acted right there would never have
boon any strike , parade or consequent
trouble.
' 'Stophenson is sorry now , but we
nre nor , only determined to assort our-
rights. " Mr. Walsh declared that the
city officers had betrayed their trusts
and arraigned them individually , as
well as Dr. Miller , whom he charac
terized as "tho champion liar of the
United States. " Ho read a telegram
from Congressman Valentino to the
effect that the president had placed
the troops at the disposal of the gov
ernor to preserve law and order and
that if they now prevailed as Mr.
Walsh telegraphed him , the presence
of troops should not bo offensive ,
The following resolutions adopted
by the
OMAHA TTroaRAmiOAt , CNION ,
No. 130 , of this city , were roaa by
President Walsh :
Resolved , That as respectable and
law abiding American artisans , wo
cordialy extend our heartfelt sympa
thy to the mon who are now strag
gling for wages that would put thorn
slightly in advance of the condition of
serfs , and bo it further
Resolved. That wo view with dis
gust the presence of the regular
Forces of the United States , brought
hero for the purpose of intimidation
instead 'of protection by > the moral
cowards who run our municipal nnd
state government , who are , by the
action , branded as willing tools'of a
railroad corporation which charges
exorbitant rates and pays starvation
wages , and
Resolved , That although wo deprecate -
cato violence in any form , wo counsel
them to bo firm in their demands and
promise them what slight aid is in
: > ur power.
Resolved , That a copy of these res
olutions bo forwarded at once to the
president of the labor union.
At a special meeting of the 0. T.
U. , hold Sunday , March 12 , these res
olutions were unanimously adopted.
In concluding his speech , Mr.
Walsh hoped that Mayor Boyd would
show his good Bonso by asking for the
withdrawal of the troops at onco.
DANIEL O'KEEFI ,
vice president of the national brick
layers' association , spoke next , and
denounced the arrests as an attempt
it intimidation , but said that if their
leaders were arrested other men would
bo found to fill the gap in the
ranks. Mr. O'Kcofo then pro
ceeded to make some personal
remarks concerning Mayor Boyd's
private character , which TUB BEE
iocs not fool called upon to publish
in this connection.
MR. IJOLIN ,
of Council Bluffs , a member of the
executive committee of the G , A. R. ,
} f Iowa , made a very witty and tak
ing speech , which pleased the audi
ence immensely. Ho declared Fat-
ragut Post , of Lincoln , in tendering
its services to the governor in this oc
casion , was "off its ca-whirl. ' ' The
day was not far distant when the
American people would learn to re
spect even the man who shovels
dirt , and the way to bring
ibout this thing was to
30 careful in electing officials and get
; ho right kind of men in. The call
ing of troops to the city disgraced its
dignity ana ho would give $25 for a
photograph of the scene on the river
front to circulate all over the country
in the interest of Council Bluffs.
MK. qniNN
was called upon the stand and made
quite an address upon the situation.
Ho spoke particularly of the tendency
of the action of the Herald to goad
men to violence and revolt , advised
the services of the union to the gov
ernor to preserve peace , as most of
them had soon bayonets before and
were not scared at the right of a gat
line g n and a mountain howitzer.
Ho then spoke about the chances of
a settlement of the difficulty , saying
that the responsibility of that should
bo placed upon the shoulders of those
who originally did the striking , and
ho made a motion to the effect that a
committee of five bo appointed to
wait on the B. & M. railroad company
or those having the work in charge ,
with power from the Union to com
promise at a split rate between 81.5C
and $1.75. Ho advised them to have
such a committee appointed , and lol
them do the best they could.
MATTHHW NEIIA1)
explained the motion in Bohemian ,
and then John * Ahlcs , of Counci
Bluffs , took the stand , and spoke in
favor of the motion as it was very like
ono which ho had introduced in Koss-
lor'a hall a few niahts ago. . Ho said
that most mon did not think alike and
the proper way to settle all difficulties
wns by arbitration ; that civilization was
too far advanced for a proper settle
ment of anything by force. Ho saic
that there woul J soon bo paving to do
hero probably , and that would mean
work for all , and moro.
JAMES XNiailT ,
who had taken a strong position
against arbitrationwhen the same mo
tion was put in Kosslora Hall said
but little to the point : ho insisted ,
however , that those who quit wort
ought to bo the ones to decide wheth
er or not they would settle on nny
basis below the desired price. Ho
had not expected that lie would bo
permitted to speak , being out on bail ,
but as President Walsh had .not boon
interfered with , thought lie would no !
bo. He said that as he was returning
from the justice's office , after giviiif
bail , a drunken militia man had in
sulted him and he would have knock
ed him down but for the bond he had
given.
UK QHKKN
of the U , P. machine shop presented
the Union with 8103 "and expressed
the sympathy of the machinists who
aa a body , sent the money. The
blacksmiths also nout the sum ol
8100.00.
Mr. Krieger explained the original
motion of Mr. Quinn in German , and
Mr. Boiden in Danish ; it was then
put to vote and unanimously lost ,
MB. WILKINSON ,
( colored ) , spoke in behalf of the col
ored laborers in the city , and said
that many of them wore members ol
the Union , and more would bo soon ,
The following resolution was then
unanimously adopted by the meeting :
Resolved , That wo , citizens ol
Omaha , in mass meeting assembled ,
do hereby request Mayor Boyd to ask
that Qov. Nanco .withdraw the troops
sent to Omaha to quell .tho so called
riot ; the circumstances and facts in
the case proving that their presence
was as unnecessary as it is obnoxious.
MAJOR FONDA
spoke briefly and requested that a
telegram which was received from
Senator VanWyck bo read. It was as
'ollown :
"WASHINGTON , D. 0. , 11-3-1882.
"E. Walsh , President Laborers * Union !
"Yours received. I congratulate
you that quiet reigns. Will see the
Sresident and secretary of war immo-
lately , as you request , .
0. H. VAN V/TCK.
Major Fonda said that ho would al
ways bo found on the side of the
laborers as long as they were on the
side of law ana order ; they must bo
quiet and permit the Foragers to re
turn to their corn-husking.
Will H. Riley then spoke , and laid
down some strong points in favor of
the workingmcn. Ho said that the
courts of six of the northwestern
states had decided that public high
ways could not bo donated to any
company or corporation , and ho read
some decisions of courts to that effect.
The fight between the two roads hero
was quietly settled , because both arc
afraid to take the matter into the
courts.
The resolutions passed yesterday at
Turner's hall , asking Boyd and Miller
to resign , were again passed by the
mass meeting amid great applause.
A Mr. Reed said very much the
same as the previous speakers , only
added that after all peaceable moans
fail , the right of revolution remains.
Mr. Early , in behalf of the patorn
makers , presented the union with $15 ,
and Keofo's gang of U. P. section
mon donate $9. .
MAYOR BOYD
was scon in the audience and called
for very enthusiastically. Ho re
sponded and laid down the nrinclplps
Ins position in good order. Ho said
ho had boon compelled , according to
of his opinion , to send for the military
to preserve the rights of corporations
and of laborers. A great many things
Imd been said of him in the meeting ,
all of which ho had listened to , and
most of which were lies. Ho
said that ho had sworn in
a good many special
policemen to protect laboring men ,
and that they had been ineffectual and
that as a last resort he had brought
the military , but that it would bo re
moved as aoon as ho was assuied that
the property and personal rights of
citizens would be respected , and that
men would bo permitted to work for
what they saw fit. Ho also said that
ho had been studying how to resign
for the last , throe months , but that
now ho should not resign but would
servo his term out. Several times ho
was interrupted by the crowd , but
President Walsh promptly restored
order.
About- this time Contractor Stephenson -
son drove past with a very fine team
and attracted the attention of the
whole crowd. Mr. Riley asked how
long it would take a man to buy such
a rig as that and support a wife and
two children on a dollar and a quarter
a day. The meeting soon after ad
journed , amid the choenng of the
crowd and the playing of the two
bands.
ABOUT THE SMELTERS.
While on the grounds , THE BEE
loportor endeavored toffind out the
position of the striki ng smelters , and
talked with several for that purpose.
They all said they would go to the
shops this morning , and 'jitney were
promised the wages they struck for ,
they would go to work , otherwise
they would go homo , and they said all
the rest had decided to do the same
thing.
On the other hand , a member of the
executive committee states that they
had positive orders from the committee -
too to go to work this morning.
AN ARBITRATION COMMUTE.
At the close of the mass mooting a
procession of the various unions Was
formed and , headed by the band ,
marched down to the city , the mould
ers' union to their hall and the 0. P.
L U. to Turner's hall , where the ex
ecutive committee of the labor union
hold a mooting , lost ovoning. A com
mittee of five disinterested persons
was appointed and given absolute
power to arbitrate the question of
wages on an equitable basis. The
committee is composed as fol
lows : Thomas , O'Brien , of the
Omaha typographical union , chairman ;
John Carroll , of the iron moulder's
union ; Dan O'tCcefo , of the brick
layer's union ; -Pat Murphy , of the
international labor union , and Wm.
Mulcahy , of the machinists' union.
This looks like a stop toward a settle
ment of the difficulty , but in all prob
ability the railroad mon and authori
ties will again say that they have
nothing to arbitrate.
ON THE DUMP.
The dump was nearly dcscrtou yes
terday morning early , the regulars
witli their gatling gun and mountain
howitzer having gene to the fort to
stay over Sunday. The militia were
all quartered in the old Catholic
church and sentries were on duty and
the precautions of war times followed
during the night and all dny yester
day ,
Along in the morning a company of
about lovonty-fiva or ono hundred
boys formed in line and armed them
selves with sticks of uniform length ,
and marched through and around the
grounds and the nearest streets. They
halted in front of THE IJKE office and
gave three cheers , then in front of the
Union Pacjfio headquarters with an
expression of their alleged feelings.
At ono ti o , down near the dump
they had occasion to make a bayonet
charge which they did in good order.
All day long a crowd of visitors
numbering from one to two thousand
was on the ground , coming-and going
constantly. It included every class
and toward evening increased in size
when the time for dress parade ar
rived , which WM about 5 o'clock.
A COLLISION.
At this time the crowd included
a Vgood many Iboys and mon who
while watching the evolutions of the
companies as they formed in line in
dulged in considerable abusive lan
guage to the militia , hooting at and
insulting them and occasionally throwIng -
Ing a clod or some missile at them , It
was necessary to clear the street in
order for the companies to get out of
the barracks and this was done as
usual at the point of the bayonet.
While so doing a buggy drove through
containing Mr. Frank Frick , who was
driving , and a friend. Be
coming confused by the crowd
Frick stopped his carriage
when the guards set upon him and
following the buggy paraded him
with bayonets as far as they went.
Mr Herman Kundo called at TUB
BEE office last night and stated that
Mr. Frick 's injuries are quite severe ,
and that great indignation was felt
among his German friends , who would
with a little encouragement have gene
over and raised a big row about the
rmttor.
Soon after this an expressman who
drove through with a lady was simi
larly treated ; an officer running after
him and striking him across the back
with his sword. The driver started
to got out and whip the officer but ho
saw the odds were too much for. him.
SKIRMISH.
A moment after this the crowd
which began pressing in on the lines
was driven back again and howled ,
hooted and jeered. A peaceable and
well known citizen , Mr. Goo , P. Arm
strong , started to cross the street and
was stopped with a bayonet. Ho
grasped the gun to wrest it away when
several others sprang at him and the
next thing seen was the old gentle
man lying in the dust. It was be
lieved ho waa about to bo killed and
several rushed to the rescue. A gen
eral fight seemed imminent when ono
of the soldiers cocked his gun and
drew a bead on the crowd , which fled
like shrop , knocking down a fence in
their flight. It was stated that Mr.
Armstrong was badly hurt and hod a
bayonet wound six inches deep. There
was the greatest excitement for a time
but the column soon formed , and ,
headed by the * regimental band ,
marched away for a street parade ,
fol'owed ' by the whole crowd , who
forcot their injured feelings in the
imposing and truly handsome
military display. After marching up
Jaskson to Twelfth , up Twelfth to
Farnam , down Farnam to Ninth , and
thence to the dump , the troops wont
"
into quarters for" the night , and the
crowd dispersed , but not until thny
had resumed their insultsj and court
ed another row.
WALSH TO VAN WYCK.
WASHINGTON , March 11. Senator
Van Wyck , of Nebraska , has received
the following from Edmund Walsh ,
president of the Omaha Laborers'
Protective union :
"No disturbance. Use influence
with the president to have troops with
drawn. "
The senator called at the White
house but the president was out
driving ; ho also called on the secre
tary of .war and showed him the dis
patch. It is probable the troops will
bo withdrawn soon.
The secretary of war has decided
not to withdraw the troops from Oma
ha until ho hears from the governor
of Nebraska.

At a regular meeting of Division
No. 183 , Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers , the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted , Division
No. 98 , of Lincoln , through their
clrinf , Brother Fowler , concurring :
WHEREAS , At a meeting at Kess-
Icr's hall , this city , Friday , March 10 ,
of the so-called labor union , etc. , etc. ,
according to the morninp papers , "one
of the speakers announced that ho
had held a conference with the chief
men of the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers , who said that if the
B. & M. managers did not accede to
the demands of the labor union , that
all the engineers of the road would bo
compelled to join in the strike. Said
announcement was received with ap
plause. "
Resolved , That wo denounce the
above assertion as false in every sense
of the term. That whilst wo recog
nize your right to strike , your resort
ing to mob violence and force in open
violation of the law , has subjected
you to the hearty contempt of all
honest organizations who strive to
elevate labor.
Resolved , That if in the opinion of
the city officials , 01 the officers of the
variousindustrial enterprises , it be
comes necosnary , wo as a body offer
our services for the preservation of
property and the enforcement of the
law.

WHO IS IN COMMAND ?
A reporter of THE BEE sent his
card up to the room where
his excellency , Governor Nonet ,
was in consultation with General
Alexander and 'a number of other
gentlemen , last evening , and re
ceived a speedy summons to appear
before the august presence. The gov
ernor stepped into the hall , carefully
and cautiously closed the door behind -
hind him , and brusquely inquired.
"Well , what can I do for you ? "
The reporter braced himself , and
witlwut daring to lift his awe stricken
eyes , replied , "when will the military
be relieved from duty , "
"I must refer you to Mayor Boyd , "
replied the aovornor ; "ho is in entire
command of all the forces in the city. "
Remembering Mayor Bo ; d's state
ment that ho had resigned all com
mand to the state officials , the fabor-
pusher felt non-plusscd by this satis
factory reply. Ho ventured , how
ever , another inquiry , to which the
governor answered :
"I am very busy now , and have no
time unless there is something im-
"
per -
But the reporter had fled ; and ho
wandered out into the darkness to-
cool his fevered brow and wonder at
the courtesy nnd communicative
ness of the chief executive of Nebras
ka , and also puzzle his benighted in
tellect over the conundrum , who is in
command !
_
CONSOLIDATING ROADS.
The Wabash Syutom to be Divided
Between the Union Pacific
and Missouri'Pacific ,
The latest railroad gossip is th.xt
the Wabash system is to bo cut in
halves , and ono part consolidated
with the Union Pacific and the other
with the Missouri Pacific combina
tions. According to the report the
Union Pacific has already or will ac
quire the old St. Louis , Kansas City
it Northern system , which comprises
a line from St. Louis to Kansas City ,
another to Omaha , a third to St. Joe ,
and a fourth to Ottumwa , aggregating
considerably over ono thousand miles.
Under the laws of Missouri the Wabash -
bash and the Missouri Pacific cannot
bo consolidated. The reason for this
is in the fact that the Missouri Pacific
and the trans-Mississippi portion of
the Wabash are parallel roads. The
report says Gould and his friends in
the Union Pacific have united to ovar-
come the only obstacle in the way o'l
a consolidation of the Wabash with
the Missouri Pacific system.
