gone out joined with these new men and
all is now going on as usual at that point,

CHICAGO, Nov. ALI railroads hav-
ing headquarters in Chicago have siven
positive assurances to President Hill of
the Great Northern, thas MS far as lies
in their power they will cooperate with
hi m in defeating the American Railway
union strike. now Threatened upOn his
ROAD. The information came today from
officials Of the st. Paul road, the Burlng
ton, the Illinois Central and the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois systems. This sup
port of the Great Northern is an out
growth of the plan pursued by the gen.
eral managers OF the different roads of
Chicago wnen they were dealing with the
strike OF last year. Mr.. Hill has engaged
a detective agency to furnish him armed
guards and advised the Chicago railroad
managers that his road would employ
any railroad man out of work who had
not committed an act OF violence IN Chi
cago or elsewhere against a railroad dur
ing the strike of 1891. There are some
1000 of these men in Chicago at the pres
ent time whose names were on the pay
rolls of the railroads up to July /, 1894.
They include engineers, tiremen, brake
Inc and 1agmen. While they have been
''black-listed' for nearly eighteen months,
no charge has rested against them but Of
having simply quit work when the strike
began. At II Monroe street. these men
are being engaged today and furnished
transportation to st. Paul.
