TIE PULLMAN BOYCOTT NOT TO EFFECT
WHEELING MUCH,

It is thought the Pullman car boycott
| now on will not effect the lines OF Wheel
| ing very much. Thus far IL has enected
| them but little. No Pullman coaches are
run on the o. R., the c., L. ~ w. or the w.
| Il L. E, aud of course these lines will not
| be effected any at all. No Pullman cars
/ are run over the Panhandle from thlS
\ city, but IL is here that arrangements can
| be made for sleepers for the East ana NesI
to make connections at wheeling Junction
| The Panhandle officials talked to yester-
| dav said that they anticipated no trouble
/ along the line, as their employees had been
| treated in such a just manner by the com
pany, and il is thought they will take no
/ sides against the company. Word was re-
/ ceived at the Panhandle headquarters
Yesterday afternoon that all was clear yet
/ along the entire system, and that the trains
were running as usual. With the b. ~ O.lt
| is different. 1t is the only line which runs
[ Pu!lmans into and through wheeling
| Train 10 had trouble in getting 10 the CITY
/ Yesterday owing TO the boycott, ana ar
| rived in the city late in the afternoon, five
| hours and forty minutes late, 1t being due
/ here at O:45 a. m. The trouble was caused
! by the delay at Chicago in getting started:
/ Some Of the other lines which have joined
| the boycott have lines crossing the Is. " "
| and they kept engines on these tracks COM
I pletely arresting the starting OF the IS. "
/ y. train which carried the Pullman sleep
/ ers. Finally they were enabled TO got
/ away from the Chicago yards. Ihls was
all the disturbance reported along the Is.
/ &, o. Yesterday. The system is still sup
plyins passage both East and West from
! this city, and the management here has no
| orders 10 do otherwise. Chief Arthur, or
| the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers,
/ saws that his men will not join the great
strike, as they have no grievance at all
against the Company. The engineers OF
this city who were talked to had the same
opinion, and were not inclined TO talk
against the Company in the matter.
The REGISTER railroad man had a talk
Yesterday with one Of the best informed
railroad men Of the city. He said that 1t
was remarkable how many designations OF
Wheeling railrOaders there had been since
the hard times begun. He said that they
would get reduction or get angry at some
thing aud would quit. The result now IN
most cases is that those who have resigned
are idle aud cannot find work. This gen
tleman said that the best thing for anyone
TO DO is Just TO stick where he is for the
present even If he does not get quite the
fair deal The time is coming, he says,
when it will be the inning OF the employees
The colored Odd Fellows of this city
