CHICAGO, July 1.-The general managers
of the Chicago railroads this evening
issued the following bulletin:
The railroads have not altered their posi-
ton and Will not parley with the men who
want to strike. The places of men who
strike viii be filled as fast as possible and
force will be met with force to the extent
of asking the state for troops to keep the
roads open wherever this action becomes
necessary. If the state cannot afford ample
protection the railroads will ask the
United States government TO send troops
TO the scene Of the disturbance.
The worst reports, the bulletin con-
Times, come from the Rock Island, which
was not able TO move its trains on account
OF crowd of 1900 people at Blue Island
who controlled the situation, the United
States deputy msrshals and the Cook
county deputy sheriffs being powerless to
handle the mob.
On the Michigan Central the indications
are that there will considerable trouble on
account of the employment of new men to
take the places of the striking switchmen.
The Illinois Central is still in bad shape
regarding suburban business, but Is NOV
ing through trains.
The Milwaukee and St. Paul is also badly
embarrassed by the striking employees On
these roads occurred the most serious diff
ficulties. Seventeen roads in Chicago are
all more or less embarrassed by the strike
and many passenger trains are being
moved, as on the Panhandle, under heavy
guards of deputy marshalS for mail trains
aud deputy sheriffs for other trains in or
der to get them through the strikers and
sympathizers who congregate along the
tracks.
