A. II. U. who will conduct the Pullman
boycott and its attendant troubles from
this end of the line established perma-
nent headquarters this morning in the
Reed house, near tho Northern Pacific,
and settled down to business. The COM
mittee is composed of j. W. Naugle,
chairman. J. ID. Brown, G. II. Mainwar-
ing, j. Mayer, NJ. L. Patterson and James
Gavin. The following message from Pres
ident DeDs was received at the headquar.
tiers this evening":
CHICAGO, June es.
To j. ". Ndugle:
Several points on your system inquire about
restoration Of wages. We request that this
matter be postponed and our whole attention
devoted to the Pullman boycott. When 1t is
won, restoration Of wages will be an easy mat
ter. Chicago is being tied up tighter every min
ute. Victory is certain. L. V. DEBs.
A very confident air is noticed among
the men at headquarters, and they are of
the opinion that all of the demands of the
A. II. U. will be acceded TO in very few
days. They are not doing any worrying
over the fact that Pullman car was
taken out by the Union Pacific this after
noon, as they say that nothing else could
be done under the circumstances.
There is most friendly feeling existing
between the A. II. U. and the manage
ment of the Union Pacific, and il is, with.
out doubt, on this account that SO much
leniency has been shown that road. The
men have the most supreme confidence in
President Debs, however, and they know
that when the proper time comes he will
send out instructions that will be obeyed
by every man on the U. p. system.
The Union Pacific train started for the
south promptly on time at $3.50 o'clock
this afternoon with a Pullman car at
tached to it. The train went out back.
wards, however, and the A. r. U. men say
that IL will be the last train that will leave
Butte with Pullman until the trouble is
settled. When the train came in from the
south with the obnoxious sleeper on tho
rear end the Montana Union switchmen
refused to handle it and IL was left stand
ing on the main line as it came in.
Mike Cavanaugh, the engineer, who is
a staunch A. r. U. man, was informed of
the boycott as soon as he dismounted from
his engine and he promptly announced
that he would not take the train ont unless
the Pullman was taken off. John West,
the conductor, felt the same way and SO
expressed himself. The engineer con-
suited with Mr.. Calderhead about the
matter and the latter at once telegraphed
President Debs as follows:
Pullman cars are still being hauled by the
