early this nIurning without any notice
whatever TO the road. The swiiChmen at
Aurora, Illinois, also stopped work, but
that was the only outside point affected, ~
Tar AS the company knew, up TO . O'Clock
this morning. The officials decided how
ever, to move no freight at all until the
strike ID settled, and with the exception of
live stock trains in transit no freight Is
moving. Passenger trains are running IA
usual The company has received no mo-
toe at all from the switchmen and no
grievance has yet been presented or demand
made on them by tho s~ltohmen's union.
