STRIKE TROUBLES.
A Strike on the Illinois Central
Among Mackey's Men.

Chi.sgo, Oct. 1.-THE entire
freight traffic i'll and out of Chicagp
ON tire Illinois Central rOsd is blocked
to-day by a strikeOf the conductors
and brakemen, which occurred at
midnight. All the passenger trains
trying to get the passenger crews to
JOIN them and bring about general
tie up. The strike was caused by the
discharge of about twenty freight
conductors for no apparent reason
other than because they had been
active in melting the employees TO
make demands. A conference, last
ing over a week, was recently held
between the officials of the company
and special union committee, rep
resenting all the employees. A de-
mand for higher pay all around was
presented, but when the final settle
ment was reached the men found
themselves little, if any, better of
than before the agitation for an in
crease was commenced. A committee
of the employees called upon General
Superintendent Sullivan yesterday
afternoon to learn the reason Of the
wholesale removal of conductors, but
that official became violently angry
and turned the members of the CON-
mite out of his office. The men also
became angry and made threats when
they left and as a consequence the
superintendent office has been fur
ni-hed with police protection. Alto
gether 500 men were thrown out OF
work, though The strikers number but
$50
A committee of the strikers waited
on the engineers and fremen to So
cure their aid, but the enginemen re-
fused to give their support. The
strikers then decided to 90 back to
work. The leaders in the movement
declared that the men could not sue
coed without the help of the men who
manned the engines, and their advice
was taken.
