thousands or dollars WOrIn OF
Perishable Freight Rotting.
CHICAGO, Jus 3o.-Advices to the As
sociated Press from various points indi-
cate that the railway strike is spread
ing.
President Debs, of the American Rail-
way Union, is issuing orders to strike
IN almost every direction, aud they seem
TO be very generally obeyed.
II is claimed ou behalf Of the railroad
companies that the movement culmi-
mated to-day, and that the lessening Of
traffic on Sunday will enable them TO
organize their forces more efficiently.
On tie other hand Sunday restNwill
| turn loose thousands OF wOrkmen In
other lines, and there are fears that the
action of few hot-headed men may re-
suit in great disorder
The Rock Island road, which had
been free from disturbance up to this
morning,
Is NOW COMPLETELY TIED UP
| in all the adjacent territory.
The stock yards, so far as its receiv-
ing and distributing interests are con-
cerned, are practically at standstill,
stopping the movements Of dressed
meats outward and live stock inward.
The Fort Wayne road Is severely
crippled in its terminals, and the Illinois
Central suburban service which carries
more people TO and from business in
Chicago than any other line, is COM
pletely tied up.
The Chicago and Eastern Illinois is
badly blocked aud the other roads
which use the Chicago and Western IN
diana railway as terminal are suffer
| ing because of the strike on that line.
These roads are the Erie, the Chicago
and Grand Trunk, the Santa Fe and the
Wabash. The Michigan Central and
Michigan Southern are suffering some
delays because they use the Illinois
Central and Rock Island tracks
FOR ENTERING TIE CITY.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
having great difficulty in moving its
trains, and, like the Wisconsin Central,
Chicago and Northwestern reports that
it is receiving and dispatching its trains
with usual regularity.
A like condition is reported very gen.
orally throughout the west No lifting
| Of the boycott is mentioned anywhere,
while numerous additions to its effect
iveness are chronicled. At ST. Louis
the terminal association which does the
switching on all Of the roads, is tied up
| and business is at Stand-still. There
| is no improvement iD the situation at
| st. Paul or Minneapolis, while matters
are worse at Denver. The outlook at
Cincinnati is threatening.
CHICAGO, June 3O.-The Union Stock
Yard Switching Association succeeded
in manning one engine to-day, aud be-
gan an attempt TO handle packing
house products for railroads entering
the yards which do not use the Pullman
cars, the Michigan Central and the
Lake Shore. The Rcck Island an
nounced that 1t would be unable to &C.
cept shipments. The Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy will accept shipments
next week. The Chicago and North
western did not deliver any stock to
consignees this morning. No mobs
were TO be seen in packing town" this
morning. On the contrary, considering
the serious state OF affairs matters
seemed ominously quiet.
CHICAGO, June 3O.-Six hundred
strikers at Riverdale met the Pittsburg
and Washington express on the Pan
Handle Railroad, and the sleeping cars
were cut loose and sidetracked. The
express train went on its journey.
WILL NOT IMPORT CANADIANS.
CHICAGO, June 3O.-The general man
ayers, 10 session to-day, issued the fol-
lowing statement regarding the strike:
There is no attempt made to deny
that the strike is widespread and scri-
Gus. This embarrasses the freight
traffic of the West to the most serious
extent of any strike since the eastern
labor troubles in 1877 and 1SSS. The
companies have no idea Of entering into
a compromise with the strikers on any
basis whatever. 1t was said that the
General Managers Association is import
ing men from Canada, but this state
ment is absolutely false. American citi-
zens. wherever we can find them, will
be given Jobs and We will see that they
are protected.
TO SPREAD THE STRIKE EAST.
PHILADELPHIA. PA, June 3O.-It is
announced that the railroad strike will
be tried on the Pennsylvania railroad in
this city on Monday. The representa-

men Of the Pennsylvania into the a. r.
q. to spread the strike alon 8 the Penn
Sylvania railroad.
MAY TIE Up THE WHOLE CITY.
CHICAGO, June 3O.-The situation to-
night is worse than at any time since
the strike began, and as a climax TO it
all, Chicago is threatened with tie up
OF all the trades unions in the city.
President NJ. Ii. Madden, Of the State
Federation Of Labor, an organization
to which practically every labor or
ganization in the city belongs and
which has fully 10000 members, said
tonight:
I'VE are in hearty sympathy with the
A. R. u. and will help il in every way
We can"
The present programme, as outlined
| by Madison, is To call on all the men ou
the elevated roads and employees Of the
