The loss Is estimated by the Owners at ap proximately $15,000, with about one-h.-lf th amount of Insurance. A grocery store, meat market, two pool halls, livery stable and a dwelling were burned. The fire was discovered about 2 o'clock In th meat market of T. J, Hatch, a former Council Bluffs man. When the villagers were aroused they found the building In flame and beyond the hopes of saving by the town' only means of protection, a bucket brigade.

Oreen was called Into th secret meeting held by the striking employes of to Harrlman lines yesterday afternoon and gave a friendly talk to th men. Hi advice waa chiefly along th line of decorous conduct of the strike, urging the men to observe carefully the laws and to resist sternly the Interference of th lawless element that ha so frequently made peaceful attempt of labor organisation to bet ter th condition of their member rloteus manifestation of the criminal classes. He told th strikers that they could not hope to win by any conduct that would alienate publio sympathy, that .th great mas of the people were law abiding and could not avoid holding th strikers largely responsible for any serious outbreak, and that their worst enemie were those who countenanced violence. Congressman Green' speech wa well received and made a very favorable Impression upon th large number of Intelligent, sober-faced men present. There has been no material change In tha strike situation In Council Bluff. Very few of the places of the more than 200 men who quit work In the yards ot the Illinois Central and the Union Pa cific have been filled. The new men brought her have not been satisfac tory to the . company or satisfied with th situation. Th natur of the situa tion mad th work doubly difficult and th atraln haa been great, too great for the best of them. Many of Ilia In ferior one have tariid only a short Urn.

Th fin character of th men engaged In picket duty at the yard and the ad ml r able discipline of the local labor or ganization Is exemplified by th fact that there ha not been a single rase of Intimidation of workmen seeking to tak their place.
