Queer Conditions Caused by Recent
Labor Action mt Marion.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MARION. Ind, Oct. 20.-The boycott de-
clared Tuesday night against the Union
Traction Company by the Central Trades
Council OF this city is proving effective.
The various labor organizations in the city
are passing resolutions indorsing the ac-
ton Of the Trades Council and every union
man is acting committee Of one TO in
spect the cars and all who use them. Nine
persons were the most to ride on one car
from the public square yesterday. Most OF
them were women, and one old soldier OF
the home was seen on q car
The business men OF the city are COM
PEELED to indorse the boycott, though it
IS bitter dose, because the action by the
Trades Council is so inconsistent. The
boycott declared by that body probably
Is without precedent in the history OF labor
troubles The Trades Council declared a
boycott before strike had been made
by the union employees Of the Union Trac-
ton Company. The employees are still at
work. and the prospects are they will not
walk out yet other members OF organized
labor in the city are asked to cease riding
on the cars. The union men are loyal to
the Trades Council, however, and the con-
sensus OF opinion Is that the company Is
sure to be greatly damaged unless it soon
effects a settlement.

GEN. WOOD ARRIVES.
He Says the Increase Of Yellow Fever
at Havana Is Due to Immigration.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2o.-Major General
Wood, Governor of Cuba, arrived to-day
from Havana. General Wood said he had
come at the request of the department and
also to make preparations to take his fam
fly down to Cuba. He will return to
Havana before the end of October. He
said affairs are quiet in Cuba and the peo-
pie are busy preparing for the constitu-
tional convention, which meets Nov. 5. The
death rate in Havana. including yellow
fever, is smaller than for many years The
recent increase I'm yellow fever cases is
attributed to the large immigration of
Spaniards. The immigrants are not i'm
munes and are susceptible to the disease
not only on this account, but from the fact
that they have no conception of sanitation
when exposed to the effects of the disease.
