Elected if the traffic at the Union depot
is stopped
The four engineers of the Northwest
fern road who called on the officials of
the A r. U. last night and induced
the order for a strike on that road
were discharged today. Three members
of the subcommittee sent out by the
union officials last night from the yards
at Western avenue to order strike
were arrested this morning on com
iplaint of the railway officials, charged
with intimidation. The a. Il. U. mas
engaged attorneys to defend them. OW-
ing to the strike of the switchmen on
the Panhandle trains, that road has
been brought in over the tracks OF the
Fort Wayne road. Threats to tie up
the latter and the entire Pennsylvania
system grew largely out Of this fact
Action against Fort Wayne would also
involve the Chicago & Alton, as both
come into the city over the same. tracks ls,s:

ioverland routes in Texas, New Mexico,
Arizona, southern California, Nebraska!s
Idaho, Minnesota and the Dakotas.
Travel is stopped from the Pacific
lcoast east, and not a. car is leaving
Chicago for the west.
The first passenger for the east on
| the Baltimore & Ohio today could not
leave, as the engineers of the other
roads using the yards kept switching
across the tracks in such a manner
that the Baltimore & Ohio engine was
| held back as effectually as though
locked to the rails. Forty policemen
were sent to the yards. About 100
police were stationed along the tracks
of the Illinois Central and Rock Island
roads, and Vive-President Harahan to-
day sent a request to Chief Brennan
for more police. The chief said he did
not see how more men could be de-
tailed to that road. Not a car was
moved on the c. NJ. & St Paul road.
Eight hundred men employed in the
Northwestern shops, near West Six
tenth street, struck this morning.
Men Are Ugly.
The crews on the Milwaukee & st.
Paul and Panhandle roads quit work
this morning and not a wheel is turn
| ing under any passenger cars on any
road, that is not manned by officials.
The men are ugly and violence is pre-
dicted
The Chicago & Northern Pacific road
sent a written call today for more
police protection at the Grand Central
depot. An extra detail was granted.
George NJ Pullman writes to the
general manager of the Associated
Press that there is no truth in the

Of the railroads centering in Chicago
has organized the General Managers
Association bureau and elected John NJ.
Egan general manager. This bureau
will have entire charge of everything
lrelating to the strike, in behalf of the
| railroads. A committee was sent to
| Chief Of Police Brennan to ask for ad-
ditfonal police protection for certain
| roads tonight. The chief promised to
| furnish all the men needed at any time
The general managers of two of the
q q dc fT6o coiI
| ticipated and were prepared for a gen
eral tie-up of all the roads; there was
nothing for the roads to do but to re-
sist the boycott. They reserved the

llitical affiliations.
Several Thousand Thrown Out.
Several thousand men will be thrown
out Of employment at the stockyards by

such action would be taken. About 400
switchmen. trackmen, number takers
