I THE A. R. 0. BOYCOTT The Greatest Railroad TieUp Ever Known. The Principal Boadsofthe West Unable to Move. The Tronble Originates Orer a Reduetiou by the Pollman Company. No Freights moving—nail and Pas. •eager Trains on Time.

The strike is on. Probably the greatest railroad strike ever known is now on In full force. It originated over the reduc- ’ tion of 33>s percent in wages by the Pullman palace car company of Chicago. The employes sthbd a reduction fast fall with the promise that 1 the old wages would be restored on ! the first of June, but instead another reduction followed, making a.total as above stated. The employes raised a boycott on the company aud the order of American Kail way Union went out on roads hauling Pullman sleepers and- in consequence of which nearly all freight traffic has suspended. Mail and passenger trains are running on time, but ail other branches of traffic is practically at a standstill, and where aud when the matter will end it is not possible to state. The strike is complete in the west and it is extending east, and should not all differences be adjusted within the next few days railroad business will be at a standstill. The government has taken a hand in protecting railroad trains from , beiug molested and it is thought that no attempt will be made to molest lhem further. Iu and near Chicago the tie-up is at fever „heat and a number of fights have taken: place between officers and strikers. The Pullman compauy refuse to arbitrate the matter at any point, while the employes insist on it. Strikers should not disobey the laws iu auy particular, for in so d»*ing they lose the sympathy of the public and lay themselves liable to criminal prosecution, but no strike can be carried on without trouble, " loss of time, property and the general v depression of business in various ways. Labor troubles when it can be so arranged should be adjusted by arbitration, and when so adjusted should be complied with. -
