Other Cities Show Great Industrial
Walkout Order is Obeyed.

Chicago. The big railroad strike
is under way. 1t started official
ly when many employees on the Illinois
Central and the Hartman lines re-
fused to resume work when, in re-
Spouse to the orders sent out last
week, thousands of men in shops all
over the system laid down their work
ing tools and marched out.
There was little excitement at the
Burnside shops of the Illinois Central
when the walkout orde~ went into
effect The men began to leave the
works promptly at 10 o'clock. coming
out in groups of six or seven.
AS the men left the works they
passed through the crowd gathered
along the tracks without stopping to
talk to them. Practically all OF these
men who left the shops went directly
to their homes. There was no move
were practically deserted early in the
day Immediately after the strike.
Between 3,00v to $500 men left the
Burnside shops before IL a. m. They
included machinists, boilermakers, car
men, painters, carpenters and pit men
in their ranks.
Expecting trouble before the day is
over, the police of three stations are
on the qui vive and prepared to ham
die any emergency.
The walkout followed the strike or
der sent out by ]. w. Kline. president
of the International brotherhood of
Blacksmiths and Helpers, calling for
"all crafts to strike. and for every
man to do his duty
The strike dispatch was sent to the

territory embraced in fifteen states
throughout the west and south. The
