GEORGE NJ. PULLMAN,

ene law, but also TO SC1fNe lne civil OIllcerS
by refusing them fcod and threatening to
boycott any one who supplies it.
Early in the day the mob became rotous,
and only the discretion displayed by Unit
ed States Marshal Arnold and Chief Deputy
Iiebrandt prevented bloody conflict be-
tween the forces of law and order and
those massed here for the purpose of keep
ing the Rock Island tracks blockaded to
traffic long as Pullman cars are run
for the railroad company
Military Necessity.
The presence of militia or of United States
soldiers from Fort Sheridan is requisite to
open the Rock Island lire and keep it open.
The strikers have no more respect for the
authority of the deputy sherifs and mar
shals than they have for the railroad prop
erty or the officials of the company who
have been here all day trying to get trains
moved.
Packing Houses Shut Down.
AS a result of the general tie-up of the
ckyards-railroads, 5000 men and 400 girls
employed in the big packing houses were
laid off this morning. During the early
morning the Burlington road succeeded in
bringing in five trains of live stock, each
train containing thirty cars. The receipts for
live stock q o'clock were 1000 cattle,
5000 hogs and about 1000 sheep, and these
We're killed today for local consumption.
No coal has been received at the stock yards
since last Thursday and orders were issued
this morning for a general clean up prepara-
tory TO shutting down the packing houses
tonight.
At noon 1900 more employees of the pack
ing houses were laid off making fully so
per cent of the employees now out. There
is nothing for them to do, and the houses
have shut down indefinitely.
A Strike the 3d."
The three night crews of firemen on the
Lake Street IL went out at midnight
This means practically 4 tie up for the
road, as the firemen are members of the
American Railway Union and the engineers
are brotherhood men. The reason of the
strike is that the IL" Company is using
coal hauled in by the Pan Handle railroad,
which is now under tn ban of the boycott.
Employees of the Lake Street ''L' are
holding a meeting tonight for the purpose
of organizing, and if necessary joining in
the strike. 1t was announced at head
quarters tonight that the men would
probably strike tomorrow if requested to
DO SO by the union officials.
The Strikers Enjoinei
United States District Attorney Milchrist
has completed an omnibus bill for an III
junction against the strikers. 1t is of the
most sweeping character ever drawn and
covers tnlfty-SeNel pages Oh leSdl cap.
Judges Woods and GrOsscup, who re-
spectively arrived from Indiana and Ohio
this morning, in chambers examined the
documents and after a two hours confer
ence referred it back to the United States
attorney for some material amendment
Attorney General Olney wires that the
bill is to be drawn under the provisions
of the interstate commerce act, which
viii make il sweeping in the extreme.
Judge Woods said after the conference at
noon: the bill Will be as broad as she
continent and the order OF the court vEill
correspond"
The United States court has granted the
omnibus injunction prayed for by the rail
roads. It is q douDle-header and applies
