hat another general advance would be
made by :hem 10 morrow. The delive '
IF cars will be attempted TO & large rum
Der Of ro,de, aud the fnsl struggle in tn
great strike will in sill likelihood then tske
place At Police headquarters spe
cial Off :ers were being sworn IN
sill day from the reserve Ji7-s Uf
the department. Information as to what
roads cars would be sent by the Bdrliug-
ron was refused at the Burlington Offices.
M attempt to do business was made BY
the Burlington TO-DAY, the plea being thai
the police were needed ct the polls
throughout the city where the
mu nicipal election WIS In progress.
An iukling Of how the Burlington general
1dvsEce tom brow may be met In some
quarters lies in the fact thst IN order 10
reach the Grove street yard q" trains
are DBL ged to pass over portion Ct the
Alton tracks AID pays thst road m lssge
IN every train it sends to Grove street,
where con ,ection is made with the ysr's
IT at least six other roads
me FIVE or six switches
sre q key to the situation
T ~entv-s'x Of these are spliced orspjked
The 20" c.unot deliver cars to these
+ ,ads aud call the kings horses and all
he king nen" AOuld be p0werless TO
get a train through This Il an imminent
danger and one that the %" people evi
IDENTIFY fear The switches OF the Rock
Island yards connecting with the Bur
lugton tracks are locked snd Sc
curely spiked so that no BurliFg on cars
can rs run Into the r OK Island yards.
The icIals OF the S.. Paul road discov-
cred to-day that the switches coDnec Ing
with the Northwestern tracks az Western
venue whereby all freight is transferred
nsd been spiked during the
night. The first conclusion
arrived st In the mstter WAS that the
Brotherhood men had done it, but the st
Paul offic S took s fferent view Of the
matter after considering the case,
aud now hold that the spiking
WAS done at the instigation OF the
North western officials themselves. The
81. Paul people say the Northwestern
probably thinks this is the best wsy BY
which to avoid trouble, as the spikirg OF
the switches precludes the possibility OF
any freight being rendered the Northwest
ern by the ST.. Paul.
