BOYCOTT OF THE PULLNANS
Over Twenty Roads Already Tied Up
for Handling the Cars.

General Managers of the Roads De-
eide to Fight the Strikers to Finish.
The Trouble Extending in Every Di-
rection.
Chicago, June 2S.-The great Pullman
boycott has been in effect only three
davs, but in that time the American Rail-
way Union has succeeded in tying up over
twenty railroads which insisted on hand
ling Pullman cars, and the indications
are that eight or ten more will be de-
serted by their employees within the next
twenty-four hours.
The iremen on all the Suburban ex-
press trains of the Illinois Central road
went out on a strike at o'clock this
afternoon.
At meeting of the General Managers
Association of Chicago, comprising the
general managers of every railroad enter
ing Chicago except the Big Four, it was
agreed that the roads would fight the boy
colt to finish, Twenty-one of the twenty
two managers were present.
Late last night two hundred employees
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in
South Chicago held a meeting and de-
cided to go on strike, on account of the
success of the company in sending out
the Pittsburg express with Pullman
sleeper attached.
Eight hundred men employed in the
Northeastern shops near West Fortieth
street struck this morning.
10000 MEN OUT.
1t was estimated to-day at the head
quarters of the American Railway Union
that fully 10000 men are now out on
strike on account of the refusal of the
Pullman company to settle the differ
ences with its employees in the shops BY
tomorrow night nearly double that num-
ber will have been ordered out
aud the strikers will include
not only the members of the
union but the knights of Labor,
brotherhood men and other organizations
which can, in any way, affect the inter
ests Of the roads which have decided to
stand by the Pullmans. 1t was given out
at headquarters to-day, that tomorrow
the different roads out of Chicago hand
ling Pullman cars would be sufficiently
crippled to warrant the removal of the
base of operations of the officers of the
American Railway Union from Chicago
To ST. Louis.
AMAN SENT TO ST. LOUIS.
Martin Elliott, a representative of the
union, was sent to St. Louis tonight to
call out the men on all but two roads en-
terinR the st. Louis union depot with
Pullman palace cars in their trains To
morrow night, ii necessary, President
Debs and Vice President Harvard will go
TO St. Louis to take charge of the
asserted that within two days
all the railroads out of St. Louis hand
ling Pullman cars, except the Missouri
Pacific, will be asked to cancel the Pull
man contracts, or incur strike Vice
President Howard SAID to-day that the
union would not exempt single road in
the west or southwest, and if necessary
all the more important of the
eastern roads would be tied up
in order to force settlement of the Pull
man strike. From the showing made in
the last three days by the union, railroad
men are inclined to believe that the state
ment is no idle boast.
Trains on all of the roads were gotten
out in fair shape to-day, although the
most of them were made up by officers
and their assistants.
THE ST. PAUL ROAD CAPITULATEs.
The feature of the unions work to-day
was The speedy settlement effected with
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
This morning special committee was
sent to the general manager of the Mil
waukee with request that the road re-
fuse to haul Pullman sleepers. Through
Misunderstanding number of the Mil
waukee men struck before an answer was
given and this led to the report that the
road was tied up. The company officials
lost no time in informing the committee
mat PullmanS would not be hauled over
The road, and within an hour the nine OBJ
lectionable cars which are run on that
line were sidetracked. President Debs
Immediately ordered the men back to
work and the road suffered but little in
convenience.
RIGHTS OF THE SANTA FE MEN.
United States Judge Caldwell has
wired the receivers of the Santa Fe sys-
TEN that the employees are at liberty to
strike, but they must quit the employ
ment of the road and refrain from inter
terlng with the others who take their
places, Attorney General Olney has
wired District Attorney Milchrist to a
similar effect, and tomorrow action will
De taken upon these lines by the officers
OF the United States courts along the
lines
The strikers had much the best of the
situation to-day on the Illinois Central.
The road is almost entirely tied up in this
city and the Illinois division, and thou
sands of dollars are being lost along the
line by the inability Of the company to
handle freight and the practicable aban-
uohment of its vast suburban service and
the timidity of the travelling public. The
greatest loss to the road is in the demor
Aviation Of the suburban traffic.
TUE EASTERN ILLINOIS TIED UP.
The Chicago and Eastern Illinois men
We're ordered out at 6 o'clock p. m, and
responded promptly. Inside of a half
hour not wheel was turning in the yards,
except where the engines and cars were
manned by officials. All of the passenger
trains We're made up and started out, but
Vhe strikers, aided by several hundred
Sympathi2ers, gathered at the crossing at
fortieth street and held all trains at
Iempting TO pass
me roads suffering most were the Erie
ana the Monon. all of their passenger
Iralns being held. AT 10 o'clock between
o'OO and 1000 people had gathered at the
crossing, and four or five trains were held
Ihere unable to break through the gates
ana the crowd. All efforts on the part of
the ofncers TO get the trains through, met
with failure.
In California no through trains are
moving upon any of the transcontmental
roads. The strike had not reached the
oregon lines tonight.

shutting down of the large manufacturers
IN Chicago on account of the strike, and
owing TO inability TO ship out goods. The
