A Chicago dispatch says: The first
passenger train due to leave East on
the Baltimore & Ohio Thursday could
not leave on account Of being unable
to couple on an engine. Forty police
were sent to the yards. At the request
of the railway employees in the East,
twenty-five men were sent out by the
American Railway Uunion to day to
aid in organizing in that part OF the
country. These men are bound for
New York and will begin work among
the employees OF the New York
Central. Engineers and firemen on
all roads centering in Chicago are
greatly incensed at the discharge
OF the four engineers by the North
western Road, and decisive action on
their part in aiding the general strike
is looked for. f. A. Bancroft. repre-
senting the Santa Fe system. applied
to the United States authorities in the
name of the receiver for protection to
his read against interference by
the strikers. Four engineers Of
the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway we're arrested, charged
with intimidation. The American
Railway Union engaged attorneys to
defend them. Owing to the strike of
the switchmen on the Panhandle, the
trains of that roai have been brought
in over the tracks OF the Fort Wayne
road. Threats to tie up the latter
road and even the entire Pennsylvania
system grew largely out of this fact
Action against the Fort Wayne will
also involve the Chicago and Alton
road, as both come into the city over
the same tracks. Everything was
blocked after midnight last night at
the Western avenue yards of the
Northwestern, Milwaukee and St Paul
and Panhandle roads.
Every Pullman car on the line of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul Rail-
road was side-tracked by the manage
ment Of the road, and President Debs
of the American Railway Union
marked down victory No. l. Soon
after the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul had given in, q report was re-
ceived at headquarters from st. Louis
that the Mobile and Ohio Railroad had
given in and would side-track its Pull
man cars. The two surrenders coming
together raised the enthusiasm of the
strikers to the highest pitch, for the
news was sent to all of the strikers
headquarters in the city and the mon
became more confident than ever that
the boycott instituted against the Pull
man Company would be entirely sue
cessful.
The entire day crews on the Milwau.
kee and St. Paul and Pan Handle roads
have quit work, and there is not a
wheel turning under any passenger car
on either road that is not manned by
officials. The men are in an ugly mood
and violence Is predicted. There are
said to Be only two Pullman cars on the
entire Milwaukee and st, Paul system,
but the use Of these cars has been 40
effectual In tieing up the road, at least
at the Chicago end, as though there
were hundreds. Strikers are threat
ening 10 throw those two cars into the
ditch. Eight hundred men employed
In the Northwestern shops near West
10th street have struck.
