STRIKES AND TROOPS
The Situation Becoming More and
: More Dangerous. " .' :
GENERAL MILES AT CHICAGO
Strike Paralyzing Business all Over
. the Cotintry-'A Few Passengers
but no Freights Moving.
- Cmt of the Kockies.
Chicago, July 3. The Pullman' boy
cott is gradually spreading. The Bur
lington, which employs non-union men,
is- about the only Chicago road not
affected. The Chicago & Northwestern,
which uj to last night had escaped, is
completely tied up today, its suburban
traffic is very heavy, and great incon
venience results from the stoppage of
this branch of business. The Illinois
Central, Erie, Milwaukee & St. Paul
' and the Great Western, all report like
conditions. A general tie-up at Detroit
today stops the Michigan Southern and
the Michigan Central effectually. The
Western Indiana Terminal, over which
the Grand Trunk, the Chicago & E :,
Wabash, Eastern Illinois, Santa Fe
Monon roads enter the city, was hand
ling passenger trains with a reasonable
degree of efficiency up to last night.
Today all these roads are again in
trouble. A new difficulty is presented
by the refusal of the engineers and fire
men to risk lives by working with green
hands, and the railway managers them
selves ' are not anxious Ifor fighting.
They are exceedingly fearful of precipi
tating a battle on the 4th of July, and
will make no serious effort ft) move
trains before Thursday morning. -They
also say a suspension of business at this
time is not an unmixed evil. "We
know perfectly well the freight Is in the
country "and must be moved sooner or
later," said one today, "and wa shall
ultimately get our share. It will not be
long before the inconvenience resulting
from this suspension will be keenly felt
everywhere, and then we believe public
sentiment will be a great factor in the
extinction of Debs and his people. The
prices of provisions is advancing very
rapidly, and fruits, ice and all kinds of
perishable property are commanding
high prices."
All the engineers, firemen and track
men on the Chicago end of the Nickel
Plate struck today 'without warning,
leaving things in a desperate state of
confusion. In a swamp several miles
from the city a trainload of passengers
from the East were left to their own re
sources. A telegram from the military authori
ties at Washington was received at local
army headquarters late last night order
ing the Fifteenth regiment at Fort Sher
idan to be held in readiness to proceed
to Blue Island at a moment's notice.
The dispatch was sent after a confevence
with President Cleveland.
It was reported at the General Mana
gers' Association headquarters today the
strikers had broken into freight cars at
Lansing, 111., and stolen sixty-eight kegs
of powder.
President Debs was served this noon
with a chancery subpoena, a simply
formal notice to appear before the court
at the August term to answer a bill.
After a talk with the leaders of the boy
cott today, Peter E. Studebaker said it
was true he was trying to bring about a
settlement of the strike.
A passenger train on the Baltimore &
Ohio was ditched at Rock Island junc
tion today by strikers. The engineer
was badly hurt.- The road was com-
pletely blockaded by a derailed train.
Strikers stopped a train on the Nickel
Plate road which left the city at Z:30 a.
m., at Ninety-second street and Stony
avenue. The engineer and fireman were
compelled to leave the engine. Twenty
five deputy marshals were sent with
orders to recover ;the train. .' The .plan
ing mills have shut down, as they cannot
move lumber. This will throw out of
work over 15,000 men. Not a Sock
Island train was moving today at Blue
Island. The switch tracks are filled
with dead engines and stalled trains.
All the switchmen employed at the
Union station yards have struck. The
Wabash is tied up.
: Firemen on the Hock Island were in
structed today not to work with non
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
union men. The Illinois Central engi
neers passed resolutions endorsing the
strike. .Master Workman Lindholm,
eiief of the Knights of ' labor in ' Cook
county, was in conference with leaders
of the American Railway Union today.
He eaid "We are all ready to "strike
when asked. The Knights of Labor
are heart and soul With the American
Railway Union.'
A Sweeping IdJ auction. .
Chicago, July 2. Judges Grosscnp
and Woods, in the United States court,
issued an injunction today restraining
the strikers, based both upon the muni
cipal laws and the interstate, commerce
act. It iB a very sweeping order, and
aims to protect the roads in the trans
portation of freight as well as in carry
ing the United States mails. The in
junction names twenty-three roads, all
in the membership of the railway asso
ciation, - and the Union Stock Tards
Transit Company, that must not be in
terfered with. All members of the
union, and "all persons whatsoever"
are ordered to refrain from interfering
with the trains, freight or passenger.
The men are also ordered not to enter
the yards or premises of the companies
with intent to do unlawful acts, or to
compel, by threats, violence, or by. any
other means, the employees of the road
to quit work. The order also enjoins
the defendants from.; inducing by "per
suasion, threats, violence, or by any
other means, the employees of the
companies. to leave the service of the
company, or to induce them to refuse
to perform their duties."
. ' ... Flgntaat Bine Island.
Chicago, July 2. Today's develop
ments in the great Pullman-American
Railway Union strike have been prolific
in seneationalisra, the principal theater
of action being in Chicago and adjoining
suburbs. Wild rumors were rife, and
when it .was announced more orders
had been issued for the Second regiment
to proceed at once to Blue Island, 18
miles out, extra editions of all the even
ing papers with warlike headlines were
eagerly'scanned by thousands of people.
This report proved later to be unfounded.
The first ' serious clash occurred today,
when 200 deputy United States mar
shals were surrounded at Blue Island by
2000 strikers, who openly defied the
federal authority. Weapons were
drawn on both sides, and- Deputy Mar
shal Logan badly cut with a knife, but
when a bloody conflict seemed immi
nent, the deputies retired to their bar
racks to await reinforcements,- leaving
the strikers masters of the situation.
During tho battle United States Marshal
Arnold was pulled off a car platform
and kicked and rolled over in the dirt
by strikers.
Worse at St. Louii.
St. Louis, July 3. The strike situa
tion in the territory tributary to St.
Louis is decidedly worse today.'. All the
American Railway Union men on the
Western division of the Wabash struck
today, and the engineers refused to work
.with "greenbornei" . . On the Cotton
Belt, the American Railway Union men
went out during the night, leaving that
system in bad shape. The First Regi
meut of the Missouri National Guard
has been ordered in readiness for service.
At East St. Louis all the warehouse
laborers struck cloeing every freight
house. Not a single road on that side
of the river has a complete switching
crew. One road on this side which has
been handling its own business with its
own crews is the St. Louis, Keokuk &
Northwestern division of the Burlington.
This morning the switchmen and yard
men in the St. Louis and Southern St.
Louis yards, of the Iron Mountain
road, returned to work.
Meat Scan In New York. .
New Yohk, July 3. This city is
threatened with the worst fresh-meat
famine it lias experienced in 20 years,
on account of the railroad strike. Noth
ing in the way of livestock or dressed
meat has started from Chicago to this
city since Friday. Prices on all ..meats
went up with a. .bound this morning.
The consumers will have to pay from 25
to 50 cents per pound for meat. The
delicious fruits which are brought over
land from California have suffered most
through the railroad strike. Some
fruit is still coming, but there will be
little received after tomorrow until after
the strike is settled. " : ' "

Serious Trouble Expected.
St. Paul, July 3. The Burlington
passenger train for Chicago and St.
Louis' was stopped at Westminster
street, in the East St. Paul yards, this
morning. Two men jumped on the
train and cut the air brakes, and at the
same time an explosive of some kind
was thrown under the engine, blowing
out the cylinder head. The train
came to a dead stop, and a few min
utes later the Northern Pacific train for
Fargo came from behind at a rapid speed .
A collision was averted by the prompt
action of the engineer, who stopped his
train within eight feet of the Burlington.
A large crowd of strikers and many
women are at Westminster street, and
serious trouble is looked for tomorrow.
Many-special police and extra United
States marshals were sworn in today.
Nothing is moving except passenger
trains..

the industrial classes. He declared he
was certain of election to congress.
