and held by them, through, as their re-
frsal to do so would throw thousands Of
men at work at the yards out Of en-
ploy ment The men refused and the
trains were returned to the packing
houses. The packers say they will be
afraid to send perishable freight out OF
the yards while the strike lasts, as they
fear it would spoil. The result already
is that before long the stock yards bust
ncss will be paralyzed, whether the rail- I
road employees in the yards strike OF not.
To day two trains of live stock on the
Santa Fe and on the Illinois Central out
side of the yards remained on the tracks
because the trainmen refused to move
them. The Chicago & Alton is badly
crippled. Passenger trains have been put
in fairly good shape. Freight traffic is
badly congested and much perishab]c
goods is being ruined. The railway
union officers claim that they will have
the road tied completely. President
Debs says that within twenty-four hours
matters will be in such shape them
selves that u strike on the Burlington
would be effective. Said President Debs:

sides. We must kill the managers as

labor in America for years to come"
