THE PANHANDLE IMPORTS MEN.
The Panhandle road is making q deter
mined and systematic effort to break the
strike on its line in this city. Seventy men,
| imported to-day, came from among officials
and skilled workmen all along the line
and are such as can be spared at different
places without seriously affecting the oper-
alton of trains. They were at once set to
work in switches and signal towers and
at the yards with the purpose to get some
trains started to-day. Great crowds of
strikers congregated at the Curtis-street
yards and many at other points, but no
violence or interference was attempted. a

it will begin to bring in common laborers
TO work in the yards and freight house to
serve as switchmen and in such other ca
pacities may be necessary. The officials
say the supply OF idle men is abundant and
there will be no doubt Of the success oil
their plan if they are given the proper pro-
lection. If the strike extends to other
points along the road the officials say this
may increase their embarrassment but
they will pursue the course outlined just
as vigorously and they have no doubt OF
being able TO control their road ultimately
in spite of a general strike.
