Unexpected strenGth-strikes Looked
for In the Southwest.

today at the headquarters OF the Ameri-
can Railway Union that fully 1900 men
are now out on a strike on account or
the refusal OF the Pullman Company TO
settle the differences with its employees In
the shops. BY tomorrow night nearly
double that number will have been or
dered out, and the strikers will include
not only members OF the Union. but
Knights OF Labor. Brotherhood men. ana
other organizations which can in any way
affect the interests OF the ROADS Wplcn
have decided to stand by Pullman.
It WAS given out at headquarters to-
day that tomorrow morning the dlnerent
railroads out OF Chicago handling Pull
man cars would be sufficiently crippled to
admit Of the removal OF the base OF ope-
rations of the American Railway Union
from Chicago 10 st. Louis
Marshall Elliott, a representative OF the
union, was sent to st. Louis tonight 70
cali out the men on all the roads except
two entering the Union depot with Pull
man cars in the trains. Tomorrow night,
il necessary, President Debs and \ lce-
President Howard Will go 10 st. Louis 10
take charge Of the strike there. IL Is
confidently asserted that within two days
all the railroads out Of St Louis hand
ling Pullman cars, excepting the Missouri
Pacific, VIII be asked to cancel Pullman
contracts or incur a strike Nice-Presi-
dent Howard said that the union would
not exempt single road in the West or
southwest, and, II necessary. all OF me
more important Of the eastern roads
would be tied up, In order to force a
settlement Of the Pullman strike. From
the showing made within the last three
uays ~ the mon. the railroad men are
inclined to believe that the statement Is
no idle boast.
TRAINS MANNED BY OFFICERS.
Trains on all of the roads were gotten
out in fair shape to-day. although the
most Of them were made up by the OIL
GERS and their assistants.
The feature Of the Unions work To-
day was the speedy settlement effected
with the Chicago, Milwaukee and -. PAU.
This morning & special committee Was
sent 20 the general Uaraeer OF the Nil
waukee With a request that the road re-
fuse to handle Pullman s!eeIers. Through
a nisundersts nding number OF the Mill
wuakee men struck before an answer
was given, and this led to the report that
the road was tied up. The cOmpanys
officials lost no time In informing the
Union officials that Pullman sleepers
wCuld not be hauled over the road, and
within an hour the nine Objectionable
cars which are run on that line. were
sidetracked. President Debs Immediately
ordered the men back TO work, and the
road suffered but little inConN enience.
United States Circuit Judge Caldwell
has telegraphed the receivers OF the Santa
Re system that the employees are at lib
erty 10 strike, but they must quilt the
employment ot-~ue ROAD ana refrain from
interference with others who take their |
places. Attorney-General Olney has teie-
graphcd Bistrict-Attorney Mnchrist TO
similar effect. and tomorrow action Will
be taken upon these lines by the officers
Of the United States courts along their
lines.
The strikers had much the best of the |
situation to-day on the Illinois Central |
That road is almost entirely tied up in |
this city and the Illinois division, and !
L
the line by the inability OF the company !
TO handle freight, the practical abandon |
ment Of its vast suburban service. and |
the timldity Of the travelling public. The |
greatest loss 10 the road is probably in /
the generalization Of suburban traffic.
MORE MIN ORDERED OUT.

were ordered out at o'clock tonight, and !
responded promptly. Inside Of q halt |
hour not a wheel was turning IN the |

cars were manned by officials. All Of the
passenger trains were made up and start
"a out. but the strikers, aided by several |
hundred sympathizers, gathered at the
crossing at Fortleth street and held all
trains attempting to pass. The roads SUI
fering the most were the Erie and the
Monon, all Of their passenger trains being
held. At 10 o'clock between 1900 and 4WJ /
people had gathered at the crossing, and !
four or five trains We're held there. una

failure.
In California no through trains are NOV
ing upon any Of the trans-cOItinental
