A Geneyal Review of the Situation with
Eeference to tho Big Strike.

CHICAGO, July S.-UnqueSt1OnaDl
the railroad situa tion is to-day unqual->
ifiedly the worst since "the boycott"
went into effect The railroad man
ayers admit as much, and realize that
they are called upon to confront a
strike of magnitude and far-reaching
effect surprising even "the great rail
road strike of 1871" The railroad inter-
ests now are so much greater than at
that time, and the strikers have chose
an initial point, Chicago, the most inn
portant in the country from which to
operate, beginning a tie-up here that
effects n greater area of country, larger
railroad interest and greater interests
outside of the railroad business than
Mt any other place where the strike
could have been inaugurated.
There are efforts, and in exceptional
cases successful, to run out and run in
u few passenger trains, but the traffic
conditions can be summarized in the
statement that all freight traffic west
and south is wholly suspended.
All freight of any character is being
refused by the majority of the roads,
| Dr all those running west and south,
| and in consequence the city is threat
ened with a fruit and vegetable fam
inc, as well as milk famine, for milk
trains are interdicted along with Pull
man palace cars, against which the
| fight was begun.
A Gigantic Undertaking.
But the fight has gone away beyond
| that point and the Pullman contro-
vcrsy has become lost sight of in the
| gigan tic undertaking of the American
Railway union to fight the Railway
| Managers association to a finish.
| That is the character of the fight
now on. The American Railway
! union is determined to exterminate
| the Managers association. Pullman
ears no longer cut a figure in the boy
cott, but it is now laid upon every
road belonging to the Managers asso-
,iation, whether running Pullman cars
or not. The st. Paul the Wabash, Lake
| Shore and other roads running Wag-
ners and their own sleepers are no less
interdicted and ordered to be tied
up than roads which persist, under
their contracts, in running Pullman
cars. The magnitude of the strike, or
as it is more euphoniously called by
the strikers, 1.-The boyco ott," can in a
measure be understood when it is said
the following railroads have been in
volved by uSases from President Eu-
| gene V. Debs, of the American Rail
way union:
| Railroads That Are Affected.
| Atchison, Topeka s. Santa Fe, Baltimore s,
| Ohio, Chicago s. Western Indiana, Chicago
| Rock Island g. Pacific, Chicago s. Grand Trunk
| Chicago s. Erie Chicago g. Great Western

| Chicago, Milwaukee g. st Paul Chicago s.

| Illinois Central, Inner Belt Line, Louisville
| New Albany & Chicago, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati
| Chicago s. ST. Louis, Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne
| g. Chicago, Union Stock Yards and Transit
| company, Wisconsin Central Wabash, Lake
| Shore \ Michigan Southern, Nickel Plate, Cal
umet Terminal.
The foregoing comprise the roads
converging in this city against which
the boycott has been laid, and one and
all of which are either practically tied
up or are so crippled as to be
ineffective in helping solution

them by President Debs in his combat

touched by the boycott:

Evansville & Terre Haute, Hooking Valley, st

They Grow Violent.
The feature of the strike, or boycott
Saturday and Sunday, was NANTES
tation of a riotous disposition on the
part of the strikers. Trains wer,
held up, stoned, cars were de
tached, engines seized and crew
driven from their trains, Will,
the trainmen We're buffeted, il
many cases put to flight t.
save their lives from the mob and sucl
as escaped were jeered. Intimidation
was used to drive switchmen from TIN
yards, and everywhere police protec
tion was asked within the city at tn
: various crossings and in the yards
In the suburbs, at Blue Island, ol
the Rock Island road and at othe
, points south riotous demonstration
were numerous and so menacing tina
the railway authorities called upol
Sheriff Gilbert for pr otection, and h
was compelled to put an army of deI
uties to guarding tracks and rescuinI
, tracks held up at suburban towns out
side of police jurisdiction.
