LIVINGSTON, June 26.-The proclama.
tion Of the A. r. u, declaring boycott
against the Pullman Car company, was
received by the Livingston union at 3
o'clock this afternoon in the shape of the
following telegram, dated Chicago and ad.
dressed TO II. F. Doherty, secretary of tho
local union:
Boycott against Pullman cars In effect at
noon to-day by order Of convention. Signed,
Eugene v. Debs.
The first section Of to-day's east bound
passenger arrived just as the boycott mes.
sage was received, and the train was al
lowed TO pull out without interference
from the A. X. U. men. When the second
section arrived at 3 o'clock this evening
the depot platform was black with people
who had gathered to witness the scenes
incident TO the initiation Of the boycott
in this city.
1t was expected that the A. r. U. men
would detach the Pullman cars and side.
track them. 1t seems, however, that this
matter had beeh previously discussed by
the local union, and II was decided that to
sidetrack the Pullmans without orders
from the company would subject the men
thus engaged in interfering with the cars
and the running Of trains to arrest. The
plan agreed upon, therefore, was simply
for all A. X. U. men to refuse to go out ON
train having Pullman attached.
The train force on this evenings east
bound passenger was composed of five
men, only two of whom belonged to the A.
Il. U. These two were the fireman and
head brakeman. Superintendent ]. d.
Finn refused to accede to the demands of
tho A. X. U. and detach the Pullmans,
and consequently the fireman and head
brakeman declined to go with the train.
The engineer, conductor and rear brake.
man, however, were at their posts ready
to go out, but there oeing no fireman the
engineer OF cou.se did not start the train.
Every hreEian in the city that could be
found wa1 called upon by the superinten.
dent, bdt all refused to respond. After
trying in vain for two hours to get fire.
nan, the train was ordered sidetracked
by Superintendent Finn, where 1t still
stands at ii o'clock this evening.
The fireman and brakeman on the Park
branch passenger refused to 60 out with
the train unless tho Pullman was de.
tached. The demand in this instance was
acceded to by Superintendent Finn. The
Pullman passengers were transferred tc
day coach and the train proceeded on &c
CiDnabar without the Pullman car.
The following dispatch was received by
Superintendent Finn this afternoon from
Northern Pacific headquarters in St. Paul
and copies were Immediately bulletinet
in the yards, shops and dispatcher,

the ears and property OF the Pullman company

| The Northern Pacific Railroad company own
an undivided half interest in all tho Pullman
