Chicago, July 14-Chicago is rapidly
resuming its normal condition. The &C
tion OF the conference of the Fedora
ton Of Labor yesterday afternoon, sup
plemented by the meeting of the Build
ing and Trade assembly, at which it
was resolved to resume work at once,
is accepted universally as the death
blow Of the Pullman boycott Of course
Debs and Sovereign say they are going
to fight to the bitter end. Debs goes so
far as to say he will tie up every rail
road in the United States, but he also
said in speech last night to 500 strik-
ers:
The only thing that now remains for
Us to accomplish il TO get you boys back
at your work. l hope, boys, to see the
day come soon when every railroad
man AID laborer will be ready to lay
nown his own work and fight for the
rights of anybody among his brothers
who is being wronged. MOI until You
are ready to do this can labor make
any demand on capital
This sentiment is accepted as an
acknowledgment Of defeat.
DebS called in conference this morn
ing the members of his executive board
For the most part, the railroads are
taking back the old employees as fast
as they apply, bat are not discharging
the new men. The strikers Who are I'M
able to secure reinstatement are insist
ing upon the continuance of the strug-
gle.
The federal troops are getting ready
to leave; it is believed their destination
is California. The state troops are
also on the move, but enough viii be
held in Chicago to prevent any posi-
bility Of renewed outbreak.
Sovereign Is Sick.

cute this fight with greater vigor than
ever
he said the fact that Pullman had
condescended to make a statement was
very satisfactory TO the American Rail-
way union. Debs added that the arbi-
tration commission which President
Cleveland proposed was apparently I'M
satisfactory. as the General MANAGERS
association refused absolutely to have
ANYTHING to do directly or indirectly
with the American Railway union.
The board of directors Of the Switch
mems Mutual Aid association today
adopted resolutions endorsing the action
of Grand Master Miles W. Barratt in
discountenancing the strike.

ton of Labor finished its work tonight
