TOPEKA, Kans., June 2S.-General Su-
perintendent Nudge of the Santa Fe was
seen at 1 o'clock this morning at his home.
He has just returned from a trip over the
road and said that while this trouble had
been brewing for some time he did not ex-
pect it to break quite so soon.
Mr.. Nudge could not tell how many
American Railway Union men there were
in the employ of the company. and further
said that the latest information be had
was to the effect that none of the brother
hoods would espouse the cause of the
American Railway Union. He said that
the road would, of course, be guided by the
advice of the courts in opposing the strike,
but that every means would be employed
to fight the strike to the end.
He was asked what the effect would be
on the road and replied: ut will undoubt-
| edly tie US up for a day or twO."
"a complete tie up?"
Yes, entirely. at least for day or two
cannot tell anything about it definitely
| just now"
| LAS VEGAS, n. Mex, June 27.-Rail-
road men here are quiet. but their deter
mination not to move a Pullman is very
apparent. The presence of a United
States Marshal and number of deputies
loaded down with guns had no effect on
them. Engineer Jerry de Long and Fire
man Reed were Ia the cab of the noon
train from the south ready TO start at
moments notice should the Pullmans be
taken out. but refused to bulge otherwise.
a telegram came from Manager Frey dis
| charging these men, and it has just been
announced that a general strike has been
ordered on the whole Santa Fe system
until they shall be restored. The company
sent out special from Ration at $50 this
afternoon, but did not send the mail,
though it undoubtedly could have done sos
The special contained the United States
Marshal and several of his deputies.

PUEBLO, Colo, June 27.-Pueblo's two
lodges of the A. r. u. in Joint session to-
night voted to carry out the boycott on the
! Pullman sleepers and to make il apply on
all roads entering here. the Dakota and
| Rio Grande, Santa Fe, Rock Island, Mis-
souri, Pacific and Union Pacific. Denver
and Gulf. When Santa Fe train 6. from
Denver for the East, pulled Into the Union
depot at II :15. some fifty switchmen were
on hand and uncoupled the sleepers from
the rest OF the train. The same thing was
done to the sleepers on the Santa Fe No. z,
from La Junta and the East, which rolled
into the depot few minutes later. On
this train were the sleepers which were
held at La Junta all day. Trains due here
this morning from the East and Rio
| Grande No 3, from Denver for the West.
received the same reception at the depot.
All employees refuse to reeoupIe the
seepers and the trains will be held here,
say the railroad authorities, until the
sleepers go as usual. All other trains
coming In tonight will be uncoupled.
The Sheriff was appealed TO, but had not
enough men to watch the unionists and
prevent them cutting off the Pullmans.
The Santa Fe will apply to the United
States Marshal. The Rio Grande and
other roads will probably take the same
course on the ground of interference with
the mails.
OMAHA. Neb., June 27.-The boycott on
the Pullman Company is not being felt
directly at present. but the indications are
that it will be factor in railroad circles of
the service shortly. The American Rail-
way Union men are more numerous at sew
eral points West than at Omaha, and there
it is thought, the trouble will occur This
applies to the division towns on the Union
Pacific, Burlington. Rock Island and Mis-
souri, Pacific. Local members of the
American Railway Union pretend not 10
be much interested in the developments.
but some slight alarm is felt on account of
the attitude of some of the members at
Nebraska points, where it is thought the
men will refuse to switch or handle trains
carrying Pullmans.
