C. N. FARR, jr., _516 Elm street, Reading, Pa._:

Superintendent of Pennsylvania railroad wires, that a number of

train men at Pittsburgh have refused to work, and have, by the aid

of a promiscuous mob gathered from the streets, and by the most

severe threats and violence against our men, who are ready to work,

succeeded in intimidating them, and forcing them to get off their

trains, and we are unable, by the aid of police furnished by

authorities at Pittsburgh, to move our traffic which is suffering,

especially live stock. I would respectfully urge, that such

protection will be furnished as will enable us to have possession

of our road. Did Governor leave any orders with you?
