were still being carried last night. but the
strike leaders confidently asserted that to-
DAY would see the boycott completely ef-
fectiye. The men. who have been leaving
slowly and In small lots. are beginning 10
show the effects OF the A. X. u. mission
airy" work. and last night the boycott sem
timent was much more general and sppar-

strike began.
An attempt was made last evening to send
out the ST. Paul train on the Chicago Great
| Western with Pullman sleeper attached.
The train started out, but when IL was
| found that the sleeper had been coupled on
| a trainman pulled the bell rope and, as the
| engineer reversed the engine. twenty men
rushed to the coupling, and IN few mo-
ments the train pulled out, leaving the
Pullman In the depot. Strikers gathered In
the railroad yards In different portions OF
| the city and the police were kept busy Quell-
| ing their threatened riots. Strikers drove
| Illinois Central empties from the yards at
| Fordham. despite the efforts OF detail OF
| police. and an additional force was sent TO

occur. This applies to the division towns
