Chicago, July 1G.-The American Rail
way union officials have determined to
make desperate struggle to regain for
that order the prestige 1t has lost in the
great strike now rapidly approaching a
close. The executive board of the union
held meeting, the object of which was
TO map out n course for the future. After
q lengthy discussion it was decided to
send ont ''reyivalists" to all important
sections of the West. Six agitators had
been sent out Saturday and it was de.
eided to augment this number.
The names of those sent out Saturday
will not be given out" said President
Debs to reporter, ''for fear of their be-
ing arrested for melting strike"
1t was learned elsewhere, however.
that Director Kern was sent to st. Louis
to rally the forces there. Hogan was
sent out over the Northern Pacific to
stir up the employees of that company,
and Goodwin was sent over the North
western line to use his influence with the
employees of that system, and if possible
to induce them to go out. These dele
gates are all members of the executive
board of the union. Other emissaries
We're sent out to work with the employees
of the many lines entering this city.
After this meeting adjourned an TN
thusiestic meeting was held at Ulrich's
hall OH North Clark street, President
Debs presiding. He made rousing
speech, reminding one of the early days
of the strike.
'"Ehe strike" said he, lis now-fight
now-more prosperous and more .ncorr-
must win. The men who have gone back
TO work will again come back 10 us and
victory is ours.

history as traitor TO organized Ethor.
He instructs his men to work with scsbs
and tells them that scabbls is honorable.

grow stronger, just as in Tie West it is
growing stronger every hour

parts Of the city during the afternoon and
evening yesterday, several of which were
addressed by Debs. He will to-day give

able persons on EARTH"
