ON THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.

The Freight Blockade Very. Disastrous to
Business Interests.
SAN FRANCISCO, July AT the
close of the third day of the great strug-
gle between the A. r. y. and southern
Pacific the strikers seem to have the
upper hand. Traffic on the great IA IL
way system is paralyzed 80 far as the
Pacific coast is concerned. No trains
are running north or south, and from
Ogden, Deming and Ell Paso west not
wheel is turning. The company's sub.
urban trains out of San Francisco and
Oakland are at a standstill. The ferry
boats are running, it is true. but at
Oakland and Alameda there are no con-

during the afternoon, when from the
general Offices OF the Southern Pacific
an order was issued closing all the
freight Offices and informing the clerks
of that department that they were not
needed until further notice. 1t is the

ON THR ROCK ISLAND.
The Tieup at the Chicago End Is Nearly
COmDlete.

The Tieup at the Chicago End Is Nearly
Complete.
CHICAGO, July 2.-The tieup Of the
Rock Island railroad is almost complete
at the Chicago end. The switch1nen,
switchtenders and towermen went out
almost to a man, over 400 stopping
work at a. m. The men were not ex-
pected TO 60 out until noon, and their
unexpected action left the road in bad
shape. Some of the switchmen at
Englewood threw the, switches and
locked them, leaving the yards just be-
fore the heavy Omaha train arrived.
The train was brought to a standstill in
time to avoid a wreck, and after a de-
lay the switches were set, and the train
pulled into the depot, carrying it's Pull
mans. The suburban service suffered
severely. Switches at many places
were spiked, and at Blue Island, a
southwest subur ban, several trains
stopped, and serious trouble was mar
rowly averted.
Crowds OF Strikers
swarmed through the yards, uncoup-
ling cars as fast of they were attached
to the engines, and interfering with the
work in many ways. Two of the dummy
trains were detained five or six hours,
and the officials of the road were COM
PEELED to man the switches and towers.
At several points in the yards police
were called in to maintain order.
General Superintendent Dunlap,
after q tour of the yards, admitted that
the situation was serious. I'VE ex-
pect," Mr.. Dunlap said, "to have trains
running smoothly in a very short time.
We will put new men in the places of
strikers at once, and believe that many
Of our men will go back to work soon. ]"

CHICAGO, July 2.-The General
Managers association has issued the
following statement regarding the
strike: -. -.
There is no attempt made to deny
that the strike is widespread and seri-
GUS. This emb ,rasses the freight traffic
OF the West to the most serious extent
OF any strike since the eastern labor
troubles: of 1877 and 1873. The compa-
MES have no idea Of entering into a
compromise with the strikers on any
basis whatever. The railroad compa-
MES tail to see the justice of the position
taken by the A. r.. u. Of fighting Mr..
Pullman over the heads of the railroad
companies, who have no control over
ME-. Pullman's movements, nor his
manufacturing business. The men who
are now on strike are considered
"a. Employees Who Have Resigned
their positions, and who are not anx-
1ous for work. Any men who desire
employment under the railroad COM
panies centering in Chicago, and who
come here viii be furnished positions
and will be afforded protection. Men
are now being hired in the East and
brought to Chicago to take the place Of
men who will not work. It has been
charged BY the A. R. U. that the Gen.
erai Managers association is importing
men from Canada. This statement is
absolutely false. The railroad COM
panles do not propose to employ any
men a1l. to g take the place Of the men now
on strike, unless such men are Ameri-
can citizens, and wherever we find a
man who wants to work to take the
place OF man who will not work,
whether the substitute comes from New
York or from California, we propose to
give him job and see that he is pro-
tected." .ss| -.

HAMMOND, Ind, July s2.-The Monon
passenger train which left Chicago at
6:32 p. m. is in the hands of tie strik-
ers. Manned by 140 of them it came
into Hammond at 11:40. The strikers
are in high spirits.
When they heard of the avowed in
tention of the Monon officials to take
the train to indianapolis if it had to
run over the bodies OF 1000 strikers,
they held meeting and decided to pro-
test. Every body voted to capture the
train. Although the train carries mail,
they were not at all afraid.
d When the train came to the state line
at 1O:42, it was signalled to stop. The
engineer had scarcely done so when the
crowd surrounded him. Then an en-
gineer took the place of the regular
Monon man, and while the strikers
yelled, the train went into switch and
pulled slowly into the city. The mob
controlled it. 1t was run on switch
and will be left there until the strike
is ended. 1t carries four sleepers, two
mail cars, two baggage cars and four
day coaches.

Although the wager was not won (tha train arriving in Stamford thirty seconds late), Mr. Thomas went to the engine, ccmpllnentcd the engi- i1eer on the fine run made, and made him present.
