Changes in the General Tie-Up Briefly
Summed Up.

Several important moves incident to the
great strike developed over Sunday though
nothing of the serious nature which was
anticipated occurred.

the Union Pacific was tied up. The Rock

against a blockade in Decatur similar to
the one it has been fighting in Cairo. Gov

Wreck Narrowly Averted.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, July "A wreck
was narrowly averted on the Grand Trunk
tonight. Enough non-union men had been
employed who were willing to 90 out On a
q train. The engine was started down the
the line for the purpose OF getting TO the
depot to take out train. James Hamii-
ton, an official of the road, opened the
switch for the engine to keep the main
track and turned the wrong one. This put
the engine on the wrong track and as a
passenger train was coming down the
Michigan Central track, the man at the
target had to ditch the engine in order to
prevent collision.
Ten Grand Trunk trains are here now
The company will make no attempt to
move another tonight. The new employees
brought here have joined the union and
the road is now without men to get the
trains
