ders of Company omOiaIs or Leave the
Service.
CHICAGO, June 29.-The following mes
sage was received here by Receiver Will
son, OF the Atchison road, from Judge
Caldwell, of the United States circuit
court, who is now In Michigan on pleas
ure trip:
'The men in the employ Of the receivers
OF the Atchison railway system must dis
charge all their usual and accustomed
duties or quit the service Of the receivers
altogether, and permit other men to take
their places who will discharge their
duties. Any or all Of the employees can
quit the service of the court II they desire
to do so, but when they do quit they must
not interfere in any manner with the
property or the operation of the road or
men emplo, a to take D. cir places Any
such interference will y promptly dealt
with as a contempt of court The men
who wish to continue in the service of the
court must discharge all the duties ap-
propriately and properly belonging to the
service A refusal to perform any part of
these duties will compel their discharge
and the employment of other men to take
their places &l the powers and author
ity Of the court will be vigorously exer-
cised to enforce these reasonable rules.
"The men must understand that they
cannot remain in the service of the re-
ceivers and refuse to perform any duty
pertaining to that service. They must
make their election, whether they will
take their orders as to the cars to be
switched and handled from President
Debs or the court. If they elect to obey
the orders Of the former they may do so,
but in that event they must understand
that they are no longer in the service of
the court, and that other men will be en-
ployed to take their places permanently,
who will be guarded and protected in the
discharge of their duties"
The general managers of two of the
leading roads said today that they antici-
pated and were prepared for general tie
up of all the roads There was nothing
left for the railroads to do but to resist
the boycott. They reserved the right to
haul any mans cars that was offered
| them, regardless of his business or politi-
cal affiliations
H. H. Porter, chairman of the board of
directors Of the Chicago and Eastern Hi
nois railroad in communication to Pres
ident Carpenter, of the road, says If the
aims of the strike leaders are carried out
wage workers will be reduced to absolute
slavery, pr prrty be rendered valueless,
and the result will be revolution.
Several thousand men are thrown out
of employment this morning at the stock
| yards by an order from the Knights of
| Labor for a strike because the employers
refused to agree to the demand that freight
cars of lines hauling Pullman cars should
not be handled. The entire packing in
dustry is completely paralyzed.
The effect will be so serious that the
proprietors of the packing houses and the
railroad officials refused TO believe that
any such action would be taken. About
400 switchmen, trackmen, number takers
| fremen and engineers left their posts
The roads affected by the tie up in the
yards include nearly every railroad sys-
TEN running into Chicago.
Reports from various sections show
that the strike is spreading rapidly. San
Francisco is completely shut off by the
strike from railroad communication with
the outer world. The main seat of the
trouble is Oakland where many trains and
tons of mail and express are already tied
up. Large quantities of fruit are going
to waste in orchards and in stations and
on trains.
Pullman car department of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad in Jersey City, says that
not the slightest trouble has been exper-
fenced in this section of the country on
account of the, Pullman boycott. There
was excellent reason to believe, he said,
that none Of the Pennsylvania company s
lines would be effected
President Debs of the American Rail-
way union, telegraphed TO Terre Haute,
Ind, for Chief Sargent of the fremen,
and the latter, who has been in Canada,
has started for Chicago In view of the
unfrlendly attitude of Sargent to Debs'
organization, much interest is felt az to
the attitude of the firemen.
Master Workman Sovereign, of the
knights of Labor, who is at Des Moines,
Ia, predicts the strike against the Pull.
mans will be the biggest one in the his
tory Of the country. He said the knights
would fight it out with the railroad men
to the bitter end.
At Pittsburg yesterday a number OF
men were engaged TO go to Chicago to
take strikers places Most of them were
