With Promptness.

With Promptness.
BUTTE. June T.-The strike that has
been instituted against George NJ. Pull
man and his cars by the American Rail-
way union reached Butte in earnest to-
day and as a result tho Northern Pacific.
In 50 far as the Montana division Is con-
cerned, is tied up as tight as drumhead.
The eastbound which arrived here at 30
o'clock this afternoon was promptly
abandoned.
The crew would have taken the train as
far as Livingston, the division point, but
the company preferred TO stop the train
here rather than have the passengers side
tracked at some isolated point in the event
of serious trouble. II the strike continues
the passengers will be sent east over the
Great Northern, which road is in posi-
ton TO laugh at its competitors, as it owns
Its own sleeping cars.
In addition to their fight against the Pull
mans, the Northern Pacific employees de.
mand that the men who were discharged
at ST. Paul for refusing TO handle Pull
mans, be reinstated before they will go
back TO work.
1t is also stated that tho mon have about
decided to make the supplemental de-
mand that the wage schedule, which was
in effect prior to January l, be restored.
This, however, Is only talked about SO far
here, and it may not be put into effect.
Tho Union Pacific south bound train
this afternoon carried two Pullmans, but
the men say that it was only out of cour-
tesy to the excursionists that the obnox-
ioxs sleepers were allowed to 60 out.
J. II. Calderhead telegraphed tho A. X.
U. men at Ogden this evening not to al
low any more Pullmans to be sent up
from there, and he expects these instruc-
tions will be carried out TO the letter. In
the event of any Pullmans being brought
up here, however, Mr.. Calderhead states
emphatically that they will not be allowed
to leave.
The Union Pacific is now running
great many Wagner Sleep
ere on its through line and it is the expec-
tation that the road will use these cars en-.
tirely from now on, thus avoiding trouble.
Any attempt to haul Pullmans will insure
prompt trouble.
Tbs only Pullman car now in the city 10
the one which came in on the Northern
Pacific train this afternoon. II was
switched onto blind siding in the Mon
tana Union yards and tho men
say il will stay there. The
decisive battle between the corporations
and tho A. r. U., and they are prepared
for q long and bitter fight.
Tho A. r. U. held special meeting in
South Butte this evening to take action
in regard to the strike. Tho meeting was
large and enthusiastic and was presided
over by President j. II. Calderhead. The
following kilograms were read:
