CHICAGO, June as The employees Of the
Chicago and Great Western railway went
out last night, making a total of eleven
Chicago roads now tied up or crippled by
the American Railway union boycott of
Pullman cars. The roads so far affected
by the strike at this point are the Illinois
Central, Santa Fe, Chicago and Great
Western, Chicago and Northern Pacific,
Western Indiana, Wisconsin Central, Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois, Wabash, Grand
Trunk Monon and tho Baltimore and
Ohio railroad companies. On some of
these roads Pullman cars are still being
carried, but the strike leaders confidently
asserted that tonight will sec the boycott
completely effected.
The men, who have been leaving slowly
and in small lots are beginning to show
the effects of the A. r. U. 'missionary'
work, and today the boycott sentiment is
much more general and apparent than at
any previous time since the strike began.
An attempt was made last evening to send
ont the st, Paul train on the Chicago and
Great Western, with Pullman sleeper
attached, Tho train started out, but when
IL was found that the sleeper had been
coupled on a trainman pulled the bell
rope, and rs the engineer reversed the en-
gine twenty men rushed to the coupling,
and in few moments the train pulled
out, leaving the Pullman in the depot.
Crowds of strikers and sympathizers
gathered in the railroad yards In different
portions of the city, and the police were
kept busy quclling threatened riots
Strikers drove Illinois Central employees
from the yards al Froham despite the eff
forts of a detail of police and an addi-
tltnal force was sent to that point, Later
in Ihe evening, n large crowd gathered in
the Western Indiana yards at Archie ave
nue., and became so thrcateningly demon
strative that the police force there was
doubled
The three signal men who control the
switches at the Western Indiana tracks
at Archer avenue Joined the strikers Mt
$40 o'clock last night, blocking the sys-
tenn Under heavy police guard a new
signalman was placed in the tower and
the blockade was raised the crowd max
ing no demonstrations At $3.50 o'clock
the San Francisco limited over the Santa
Fe, with four Pullman cars passed the
crossing in safety, the crowd making no
demonstration. The seventy-hYe signal

strike
general tic up on the Michigan Cen
trial road was narrowly averted yesterday
afternoon. The union was notified that
the Michigan Central was engaged in
switching coaches for the road whose men
are out. The superintendent Of the Mich
lGan Central was at once notified that il
there was any further attempt on the part
of his road to assist the Illinois Central
every man in the employ of the Michigan
Central would be called out. Orders were
given the men by the company to have
nothing more to do with the Illinois Cen
tral cars.
The Michigan Central trains which run
out over the Illinois Central tracks made
their scheduled time without any diff
Guilty Every time one of them passed
with its Wagner cars the crowds at Grand
Crossing cheered
The Amer lean Railway union men in
the employ Of the Southern Pacific have
asserted their power. As a result Of their
attempt to enforce the Pullman boycott
passenger trains are tied at every railroad
center of California. Save by the local
trains no passengers are leaving San
Francisco or Oakland and there is every
indication that the tie up may be pro-
tracted, An official of the Southern Pa
citic company declared that If they are not
allowed to run Pullman coaches they will
run no trains at all
All Southern Pacific and Santa Fe
trains which have hitherto pulled ont of
Los Angeles Cal, with Pullman cars at
taehed were tied up todny on account of
the boycott declared by the American
Railway union against the Pullman Car
company. The Santa Fe overland passen-
ger train castbound, which should have
left here at O'Clock yesterday morning,
is still here. the switchmen positively re-
fusing to attach the Pullmans to the
train.
On The Montana division of the Union
Pacific, extending from Helena to Lv-
tnSston, not a wheel is moving This Ia
duetp the factsth hat the shop men at the
latter point have taken advantage Of the
Pullman boycott to present their demands
for an increase of pay aud In sympathy
with them other employees have gone out
OH that division.
President Debs has issued an order for n
strike on the entire Santa Fe system, The
men are ordered to remain out until the
discharged employees shall be reinstated.
Not wheel is moving on the entire New
Mexico division.
