time in the history of the live stock trade
in Chicago not a carload of animals
arrived at the stock yards by rail. Alb.

The Michigan Central tried to make
up and start train load OF dressed beef
last night, but the trainmen abandoned
the cars with scant notice and the beef
was left to rot on the tracks. Mayor
Hopkins and four members OF the city
council will confer with Debs and the
General Managers association with a
view to adjusting the great strike. This
was decided upon by a council resolu-
ton to that effect which was unani-
mously adopted at last nights meeting.
The Pullman boycott is gradually
spreading The Burlington, which en-
.ploys non. union men, is about the only

day, "and we shall ultimately get ou
share. 1t will not be long before the In
convenience resulting from this suspe1
sion will be felt kcenly everywhere, ant

great factor in the extinction OF Deb
and his people. The price of provision
is advancing very rapidly; fruits, ice ant
all kinds of perishable produce are com
manding high prices" 1t was reporte'
ut the General Managers association
headquarters today that the strikers ha
broken into freight cars at Lansing, Ills
and stolen sixty eight kegs of powder.
