CHICAGO. June 3O.-Onicials OF the
Illinois Central telegraphed Its agent In
Cairo. at late hour last night to cut
on the Pullman coaches from one Of the
eight trains held there by the strikersj
and start it at once for Chicago. n
The reason given for this action waS
that n large number Of belated paS-
sengers, many of whom were women
and children. demanded Immediate
transportation, and the train was put on
wholly TO relieve distress. The strikeru,
on the other hand. viewed the matter
In different light. They insisted that
1t was the first sign of weakening,
which they had predicted must como
within a day or two. With so many
trains tied up in Cairo, they said that !
the Company would soon have to stop Its l
IT ssenger traffic out Of Chicago from the i
lack OF cars.
