SHOPMEN TIE UP
FREIGHT TRAINS
BY STRIKE MOVE
Only Three Omaha Roads Not
Affected Perishable Goods
Only Taken by
Others.
Striking railroad shopmen have
practically tied up all freight ship
ments, except perishable goods,
scheduled in and out of Omaha. The
Union Pacific, Burlington and
Great Western are the only Omaha
roads not effected by the strike.
The strike is being conducted in
an orderly way and no violence has
been reported. A few of the strik
ers are reported to have returned
to work at all of the shops, but
not enough to care for freight traf
fic. Passenger trains are all mov
ing on schedule.
Northwestern shopmen at Coun
cil Bluffs again quit work yesterday,
following orders which were claimed
to have been received from Wash
ington. Men in the Wabash shops
also quit work, but returned to
their places before night. At Mis
souri Valley, la., where the principal
shops for the Northwestern lines in
western Iowa and eastern Nebraska
are located none of the shop em
ployes reported for work yesterday.
Milwaukee shopmen at Council
Bluffs. Terry and Atkins, la., quit
work Tuesday and although a few
returned yesterday they will be un
able to care1 for more than passen
ger trains. Illinois Central shops in
Waterloo, la., are closed but Fort
Dodge employes remained at work.
Rock Island employes west of the
Missouri river refuse to strike and
full crews are working at Fairbury,
Neb. Council Bluffs and Valley
Junction, la., shops are closed.
Small shops of the Missouri Pa
cific in Missouri are closed, but all
Nebraska and Kansas employes are
at work.
Grain and live stock shipments to
Omaha are far below normal and
several of the roads refuse all ship
ments. Blanket grain shipment per
mits have been cancelled and the
shipments under individual permits
are being held at small towns ad
jacent to Omaha to avoid congestion
in the yards here. Similar regula
tions have been placed in effect at
all terminal markets.
With the threshing season at its
height it is feared unless relief is
secured immediately farmers will

CHICAGO FALLS
BELOW OMAHA IN
STOCK RECEIPTS
i
Local Live Stock Market
Leads All Others Center: by
Margin of 8,000
Head.
Omaha led the world in live stock
receipts Wednesday, unloading
about 42,300 head, or 8,000 more
than Chicago. Railroad strikes at
various points and the uncertainty
of moving stock affected al the
markets Wednesday, making re
ceipts smaller than usual. Only
388 cars were received Wednesday,
according to the government esti
mate. A liberal run of sheep was largely
accountable for the receipts of the
local market. Approximately 32,000
head were unloaded. Chicago re
ceived 20,000 sheep and 14,500 head
of other stock. Kansas-City re
ported 18,000 head of stock, divided
evenly between cattle, sheep and
hogs. St. Joseph announced 8,000
head and Sioux City 5,423.
The Northwestern and Wabash
roads still refuse to accept live stock
for shipment. Although the Wa
bash hauls only a small per cent of
the stock shipped here, the North
western is one of the heaviest car
riers both to and from the market.
Omaha often leads the other
markets in receipts the latter part
of the week, but it is unusual that it
should outstrip Chicago on a Wed
nesday by a margin of 8,000 head.
