drance There has been no effort here or
elsewhere in the State to carry out Mr..
Debss boycott order. except at Hammond
and the Indiana suburbs of Chicago. The
Monon people last night were trying to Sc

of here for Chicago, but were unsuccessful.
Train No. 35 on this road on Wednesday
night was abandoned, but No. &c. the day
express, came through all right. Train No.
SO, which left Indianapolis at 1925 a. m.
Thursday night reached Chicago over the
Elgin, Joliet & Eastern and the Chicago
& Eastern Illinois roads. George Howard,
vice president of the American Railway
Union, is quoted as saying: "I have had
it in for the Monon for several years, and
am now getting back at it," 1t is stated
that he was dismissed from the service of
the Monon for encouraging the trainmen to
strike.
A railway superintendent, yesterday, in
commenting on the Debs boycott said: 1.-The
American Railway Union can cause end
less inconvenience and much danger TO life,
but it has chosen the wrong time for a
strike, and is backing the wrong cause.
The union in attacking the Illinois Cen
traI is playing it's highest trump first. The
Illinois Central is the road on which the
union is strongest and the most suscepti-
BILE to damage by strike methods. But Debs
and Howard are greatly mistaken if they
think the people of the country will be
with them. The worst feature of the af-
fair is that the danger of travel is in
creased, irresponsible men taking advan-
tage of the disturbance to spite a road or
an employe on 1t, thinking their evil work
will be attributed to strikers"
Another railway official says that the
strikers are not Furnishing the Pullman COM
pany but the roads which give them their
daily bread. Said the official: Il happen
to know that there is very little money
to the Pullman company in the service of
sucn roads as the Santa Fe. Ii is on roads
where the union has no hold that the
Pullmans make their money. l have been
told that 20 per cent of the profits or net
earnings; of the Pullman cars was on one
system.
Oscar Murray. vice president of the Big
Four lines, says that for once the Big Four
is rot in the strike troubles. 1t had but
one Pullman line-between St. Louis ard
Washington-and that runs only every otner

on and Indianapolis lines were tied up, V.
T. Malott. then general manager OF the
Indianapolis, Peru * Chicago. and Il. W.
McKenna, general superintendent of the
! Jeffersonville. Madison * indianapolis road,
took the position that their contracts with
the United States government was to carry
mails on passenger trains. and IL passen-
ger coaches were not permitted by the
strikers to go out, neither would the mail
cars run. After one day on which no trains
were rum the strikers began to see that
they were getting into trouble with the
United States government, and permitted
the roads TO haul coaches on their mail
trains.
Judge Field. of Chicago. general solicitor
of the Monon company, was expected TO ar
rive yesterday afternoon. but stopped off
at Hammond and will get in early this
morning. The federal court officials had an
intinlation that he was coming, and IL was
generally supposed in these offices that be-
fore the day over the railroad men
would be enjoined from interfering with
