TRAINS HELD IN NEW MEXICO.
DENVER Coli, June 27.-No through
trains are running on the Santa Fe, owing
to the Pullman boycott. Five trains are
held at Ration, y. ~, and one at La
Junta. Col. The company is determined
not to move the trains without the Pull
mans.
The Santa Fe Railroad Company has
applied to the Federal Courts here and at
Santa Fe. n. NJ, for protection .or its
trains. Marshals will be sent from Dem
yer TO La Junta, COL, and from Santa Fe
to Ration, N. M.
Judge Hallett of the United States Cir
cult Court to-day issued an order re-
straInlng the Pullman strikers or other
persons from interfering with the opera
tions of the Santa Fe or with the en-
ployes within the confines of Colorado.
LAS VEGAS, June 27.-The railroad
men are quiet here, but determined not
to move Pullman. The presence of a
United States Marshal and number of
troops, loaded down with guns, had no
effect on them. Engineer Jerry De Long
and Fireman Reed were in the cab Of the
noon train from the south, ready to start
on moments notice should the Pull
mans be left off, but refused to bulge
otherwise. A telegram came from Man
ager Frey diScharglng the men, and it
has just been announced that a general
strike has been ordered on the whole
Santa Fe system until these men shall be
restored. The company sent a special
out from Ration this afternoon at $50
o clock, but did not send the mail, though
it undoubtedly could have done so. The
special contained the United States Mar
shal and several of his deputies.
RATION On. No, Jane 27.-President
Debs Of the American Railway Union has
issued We order for strike on the entire
Santa Fe system. The men are ordered
to remain out until the discharged men
are reinstated. Tonight not a wheel is
moving on the entire New Mexican di-
visions. Several arrests will be made if
the United States Marshals succeed in
getting here from Santa Fe. The passen-
gers are making the best of the situation.
Judge Leeds has issued an injunction
restraining the strikers from interfering
with the property of the company in
New Mexico.
FORTY FIREMEN DIsCHARerD.
LA JUNTA Coli, June 27.-1he through
passenger trains are being held at this
point on account of the boycott on the
Pullman cars. Some forty firemen have
been discharged for refusing to go out on
these trains. and one engineer from the
south end. The company is feeding about
100 passengers.
SITUATION OF THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-In relation
to the Pullman boycott the situation
has been summed up as follows: The
men say they have no grievance against
the Southern Pacific Company, but that
they will not handle Pullman cars be-
cause it is against the order of the Amer
lean Railway Union. The railroad COM
pany declares that it has always been
willing to listen to any grievance pre-
sented by its employees. and has always
been ready to treat with them, but it will
not allow the American Railway Union
to run its road. 1t has determined that it
will operate the road in its own way.
There will be no compromise in the
matter. No through trains will be
run that usually carry Pullman
cars unless such cars are attached
1t will have no difficulty with
the Government about carrying the mails,
as there is no contract with the Govern
ment for special mail service west of
Green River. The company can be SUBJ
jected to no penalty, and will only lose
what it would receive for carrying the
mails. Officers of the company empha-
size the statement that the road will be
operated as soon as possible. The whole
situation will be explained to the men,
and, ii they refuse TO work, others will
take their places. One strong point in the
company's case is that it owns three
fourths of the Pullman cars, though they
are operated by the Pullman company
The overland will not leave here for the
East in the morning, and Saoramentans
now here will have to wait for the local
in the afternoon.
Superintendent Fillmore said: 'Our
trains are for the accommodation of
passengers, baggage and express matter
Ii we are not permitted to furnish these
accommodations, we will not run trains.
That is our decision. We cannot tell
what will develop, and our future course
will depend upon circumstances. AS to
the mail service, we carry mail on our
regular trains. If unable to run these
trains do not see how. we can be ex-
pected to carry mails. We are not,
assume, expected to run special trains for
the mails alone. Debarred from the use
of Pullmans, we cannot carry passengers.
Ii people cannot have them to travel in
they will not travel"
Speaking of the trains tied up at Sacra-
mento and Los Angeles, Mr.. Fillmore
said he did not know yet whether an ap-
peal would be made to the civil authori-
ties for protection. ''It is better for peo-
pie to stop in San Francisco instead of
being delayed at some way station" he
said. I'VE do not propose to subject
them to the latter annoyance, and SO, un-
less assured that our trains viii run
through, they will not start"
THE TROUBLE WILL SOON BE SETTLED.
SAN FRANCISCO, June "a morning
paper says: General Manager Towne
of the Southern Pacific sent dispatch to
Mr.. Pullman yesterday which will cause
the settlement of the trouble within
twentyfour hours. In the contract
which the railroad company has with
Pullman there is a saving clause designed
to meet just such an emergency as the
present. 1t is to the effect that if at any
time Pullman should become unable to
afford the service required of him, or in
supplying that service he shall in any
way prejudice the interests of the railway
company, the contract shall be consid-
cred void. Mr.. Towne's telegram to Chi
cago was to the effect that if the present
trouble is not settled within specified
time the railroad company would con-
slider the contract void, and take steps
to supply the necessary service itself.
THE SITUATION AT OAKLAND.
OAKLAND, June 21.-The boycott
against the Pullman coaches went into
effect on the Southern Pacific road at
noon to-day. The local branch of the A.
r. L. met last night and considered the
order of General President Debs of the A.
r. T., and decided to put it into effect
A telegram was then sent TO the officials
of the southern Pacific in San Francisco
notifying them that no Pullmans would
be handled alter noon to-day. In the
yards, as the hour arrived, the men who
had been cleaning Pullmans abandoned
their work. Engineers on switch en-
gines refused to pull the Pullmans from
the yards to the mole.
AS soon as the railroad officials learned
that no Pullmans could be used they de-
cided that no overlands could be run out
at ALL 1t is therefore impossible for a
person to enter or leave California via
the Southern Pacific. Several passengers
who had bought tickets early in the day,
aspecialiv in San Francisco, came to the
