fear that the strike will be the most
serious which has affected their inter
ests in years.
The strike was called by commit

The committee was instructed to cal
a strike within forty-eight hours un
less the railroads should meet the de

Action on these instructions was
taken sooner than had been expected
The committee went first to the men
in the Michigan Central, Illinois Cen
trail and Wisconsin Central houses on
the lake front. The men walked out
with cheers and marched across the
viaduct on Randolph street with theil
union cards tucked in their hats.
By messengers and by telephone, &C.
cording to the strike leaders, all other
members of the Freight Handlers and
Warehousemen's union were called
out. At noon President Curran of the
union reported that his men were all

Trouble Liable to Spread.
In the hiring of nonunion men it is
said the railroads run serious risk
of bringing about a strike of the team
sters, who recently won their fight
from the packers. The teamsters, it
is said. will refuse absolutely to have
anything to do with freight in any way
handled by nonunion help.
The men called out include foremen

clerks. callers, weighmasters, steve.

Chief of Police O'Neill, when notified
that strike had been called, sent or.
ders to his subordinates to make every
preparation to preserve order. Two
hundred and fifty men were called in
from outlaying stations to form re.
serve force to be stationed at the
downtown stations. From the sta
tons the men went in squads to the
different yards. There was no marked
demonstrations as they entered, al
though they had to remain quiet under
a running fire of sarcasm and rough
wit.

Illinois Central, said that about halt
of his company's $50 men had struck.
but that he had men close at hand tc
take their places"
Mr.. Harahan said he thought the
strike could have been avoided if the
men had been willing to consult with
the roads through their own commit.

FOR GERMANY

the Throne Refers to Unsatis-
factory Conditions.
RAILROAD RECEIPTS CUT
The Speech Is Pessimistic in Its Tone but
There Is No Intimation Of Lessening
the Empires Burden by the Re-
duction of Army Expenses.

Berlin, Jan. ,S.--The speech from the
throne, read by Imperial Chancellor
Count Won Buelow, at the opening of
the Prussian diet today took gloomy
view of the economic situation. II
pointed out that the revenue from
state railroads in 1901 fell considerably
short of the estimates, and the whole
results of the financial year were dis
appointing. In the budget for 1902, the
revenue is estimated below that of the
current year, but the balance between
the revenue and expenditure is to be
maintained without having recourse to
loan. The concluding portion of EN-
Peror Williams speech pointed to the
necessity of adopting measures against
the agitation in the Polish districts of
Eastern Prussia, and declared that the
upholding of the political and economic
position of the German element there
of Prussia, and promised that the gov
ernment would fulfill it's duty in culti-
waiting the German national spirit in
that region and combating with firm
ness all tendencies hostile to the state.
In this course the government counted
on the support of the German popula-
ton in East Prussia as well as the as
sistance Of the whole nation, which re-
garded any attempt to drive out the
German language as an attack on it's
national honor and dignity.

OBJECT TO INSPECTION FEE.
San Juan County Sheep Owners Ask for
Relief,

A petition is being circulated in San
Juan county asking the territorial sheep
sanitary board to waive the inspection
fee of five cents per head which the law
places upon all sheep driven across the
boarder from Colorado into New Mexico.
San Juan county being border county,
1t is claimed, that the stockmen OF that
county must necessarily cross their
herds into Colorado at certain seasons
of the year and 1t is an unusual hardship
upon the sheep owners to collect five
cents per head from them every time
they cross the line, especially when 1t is
considered that the present price paid
for lambs and sheep is extraordinarily
low. Sometimes the stock does not
move fifty miles year in and year out
and yet may cross the border two or
three times.
