Local news on the A. R. U.-Pullman
strike situation was almost at pre-
MUM yesterday-there was SO little Of
IL. The energy of the strikers through
the day was expended in other direc-
tions than the taking Of an aggressive
attitude against the railroad companies.
The day being a holiday made all the
general Offices more than ordinarily
quiet, though of course the attaches OF
the operating and telegraphic depart
ments were necessarily on duty@ as
usual.
The boycott circular against two of
the Great Western employees was
theme of much comment. At the train
dispatchers' office of one of the COM
panies gentleman who is a near neigh
Dor to one Of the parties boycotted said
that number of the people in that vi
cinity stated that these people need not
want. Said one man in particular:
"They can get all the provisions they
require from my house." Nor is this
all. 1t is reported of prominent
wholesale man that when shown the
boycott circular he said: "These peo-
pie need want for nothing in my line.
They are welcome TO what they re-
quire."
The freight situation still looks rather
gloomy. The rye at Faribaut is suffer
ing for want of binding twine to tie it
into bundles when cut. Since the rail-
road companies could send out no
frelghts the people there took hand in
the common carrier business them
selves. Several teams with trucks were
sent here, which returned to Faribault
with the coveted twine.
George K. Finch has offered, if neces-
| sary, to turn loose many of the en-
ployes of his house to the temporary re-
lief of the railroads. So 1t is all over
the city. The companies can have their
choice of all the men they need, and
these of the very best class.
At the union depot yards matters are
improving in the way OF switching.
Yesterday another new switchman was
| engaged-making three so far this
week, greatly improving facilities.
In connection with the foregoing,
Supt. Mcmillan, of the Union Depot
company, announced yesterday that he
had appointed an assistant superintend-
ent. in the person of Geo. E. PennOck.
He began his duties last night. He has
had thirty years. experience in practl-
cal railroading. During this time he
has served as an engineer, conductor.
trainmaster and division superintend-
ent. with various companies. He comes
from the Atchison, where he was re-
Gently engaged. At one time he was
division superintendent for the Great
Northern, on the Willmar and Sioux
Falls Division. Mr.. Pennock will have
control of the depot yards, and all the
switching will be done under his super
vision. He is a frst-class man in
every respect" is the tribute paid him
by Supt. Mcmillan.
Rumors of signs of weakening in
their allegiance to the A. R. u, of
trainmen were quite prevalent yester-
day. 1t was reported that several
Northern Pacific trainmen had sent in
Withdrawals from the A. R. U.
