1T was reported today, in connection
with the general managers conference,
that plans had been formulated for the
arrest on charges of conspiracy OF
President Debs and Organizer Lynch.
1t was said that the general managers
had bean advised to arrest these men
and have them searched for papers
that, if found would furnish indisput-
able evidence that certain men were
amenable to the conspiracy law.
The Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad
shops at Milwaukee were shut down
today on an order from the general
offices of the company in this city.
Fifteen hundred are thrown out of en-
ployment This step was taken because
many of the employees were dissatis-
fed, and also on account of the eX-
istence of the general strike. The gem
eral manager said the shut down was
on his order; that the officials meant
business and would fight to the bitter
end. The following was distributed
this afternoon:

ITO the employees of the Chicago &
Northwestern:
'sThe effort now being made by ir-
b
ployees of the company to abandon
their employment, with the avowed OBJ
ject of Gripping the company in the
discharge of its duties, as a common
carrier should meet with no favor
whatever There is no grievances be-
tween the company and any class of
it's employees. Every promise and OBJ
legation mas been and will be faithfully
kept. You are therefore urged TO con-
tinue faithful to the companys inter-
est in the discharge of your several du-
ties, and not to listen to the appeal of
any person whatever to make the Chi
cago & Northwestern railway company
and its employees a party to the adj
justment of alleged grievances between
another company and its employees.
The duty of the company under the
law, both state and congressional, is so
plain that it does not appear to be
necessary to make any explanation nor
to offer an apology.
1T must and will operate its railway
without fear or favor, and it will ex-
haust its resources to the uttermost
under the law to protect its property
and the men who are engaged in oper-
ating it.
You are, therefore, urged to remain
steadfast in your respective places and
in the discharge of your duty

That Point.
Omaha, June 29.-Presldent Debs, of
the American Railway union, wired
Secretary Noble, of the local union, to
strike at noon.
Mr.. Noble conferred with President
Miller, Of the local union, and others
connected with the organization of the
proposition. An answer was returned
to the effect that the local situation is
such that in the wisdom of the local
union it is deemed highly impracticable
TO precipitate strike here, and the
argumnt was made that positively no
hope existed for the successful carry
ing out of the boycott, as the local union
consisted entirely of men not in the
train service.
An Omaha railroad man explains that
the Northwestern boycott arises from
the fact that a crew ran a car with an
American Railway union grievance
committee out to the shops and the
company let out the crew when it learn
ed OF it. The Chicago roads have
agents in Omaha rustling up men to
take the places of American Railway
union men in Chicago.
They are meeting but poor encourage
ment for, as far as known, not a single
man has gone There are a number Of
railway men in Omaha who are out of
work. and they have been asked if they
would go to Chicago and take the
places of the strikers if they were want
| ed. The answer has been an emphatic
NO

Our trains CO 2lpt Of CHICAGO last

thoge who voluntarily went out in sym
pashy with the strikers, and they were
urgent in their efforts to have the
others participate in the strike. A res

Trade.
London, June 29.-During a discus
sion on the closing of>the Indian minis
in the house of lords, this evening, the
Marquis of Lansdowne said the situa-
ton now was much better than in 1S93
when it was known the United States
government was about to repeal the
legislation which maintained the price
of silver. The closing of the minis
probably averted a catastrophe besides
which the disturbance of the Indian
trade in China and Japan sunk into
insignifcance.
Lord Reay, in behalf of the govern
ment, declared it was determined not
to reopen the minis until the present
policy had received full and fair
trial

Neither Side Proposes to Yield an
Inch.

Chicago, June 29.-The packers at the
stock yards tried to induce the strik-
ers to take eight train loads of beef
held by them through, as their refusal
to do so would result in throwing
thousands of men al the yards out of
employment The men refused and the
trains were returned to the packing
house. The packers say they will be
afraid TO send perishable freight out
of the yards while the strike continues,
for fear it will become tied up on the
road, where it will spoil. AS a result,
the business of the stock yards will be
tied up whether the employees in the
yard strike Or not.
Today TWO trains Of live stock on
the Santa F'e and Illinois Central out
side of the yard remained on the tracks
because the trainmen refused to move
them The Chicago e. Alton is badly
crippled Passenger trains have been
handled in fairly good shape. Freight
traffic is badly congested and much
perishable goods is being ruined. The

they will have the road tied completely
