1T WILL BE WAR TO THE END.

| CHlCAGO, June Z9.-AILer the meeting
of the G-neral Managers Association
General Manager Earling of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul said that they
proposed to pursue an aggressive policy:
ut was determined at the outset" said
Mr.. Earirg, THAT we should have to fight
this strike. All the roads represented
| have determined to secure men to Ike
the places Of those who have struck. New
men are being employed now and they
will be put TO work under ample protec-
| tion. Representatives from the various
roads were received and their statements
considered.
THE Fort Wayne, Alton and Burling-
ton reported that some of their men bad
struck since last night. We closed our
shops at Milwaukee to-day owing to the
| present trouble. How long they will re-
main closed / cannot saw. There is'no
truth in the rumor that Pinkerton men
have been employed by the railroads to
protect property and employees"
The Rock Island road, which is about
the only one in Chicago which has escaped
thus far, will be by tomorrow morning
tied uD. Il is said. An order to that effect
was issued to-day by President Debs.
I'VE have held off on the Rock Island
road for certain reasons" said MIR. Debs,
"but the time has come when we must act
When The managers of the roads are stand
| ing shoulder to shoulder we must do like
wise. You may rest assured that there
will be no more temporizing. The Bur-
Iington is, or will be, tied up, and the
Rock Island will follow"
Trains on the Rock Island have been
running all right to-day, and officials of the
road say they will run tomorrow, boycott
or no boycott. President Debs to-day
Issued an address to the railroad men of
America setting forth the cause and OBJ
Jects of the present strike. He SAYS:
1.-THE struggle with The Pullman Com
pany has developed into contest between
the producing classes and the money
power of the country. This was what
Lincoln predicted at the close of the war.
and 1t was this rejection that gave the
great omancipator his gloomiest fOTebod-
| ings. We stand upon the ground that the
working men are entitled to just propor-
tiOn of the proceeds of their labor. This,
Pullman denied them"
Continuing, be calls upon all working
men to refrain from acts of violence. and
in conclusion says: II have faith in the
great body OF railway employees of the
country. and am confident that they will
maintain an unbroken front in spite of
any opposition that may be brought to
bear against them. I am perfectly conf
dent OF success. We cannot fail"
President Debs said concerning the DOS
siblity of his arrest by order of The United
States courts: 81 anticipate no trouble
with the courts, and l hardly see how /
can be arrested until / commit or cause to
be committed some overt act Of violence
against the lines which the courts now
operate. You will notice that Judge
Caldwell says we have right to order the
men out on the Santa Fe. He says, how
ever, that as soon as the mon leave the
cOmpany's Tor the court's) employ they
must in no way interfere with the running
of trains. Certainly they will observe that
caution. tor they are under orders to resort
to no violence.
Judge Caldwell admits that the men
have right to quit work. That is what
we con tend for. and therefore we are salts
fed with the courts ruling. The receivers
control over the Santa Fe is just the same
as a managers power over any line We
realize the Importance Of avoiding any
trouble with the Government. and we have
| ueltUoT WISH nor. lut60tIOQ TO 0tnQ0r the
carriage of mails.
THE situation grows more encouraging
each day. There have been no outbreaks
thus far. and we shall do our best to pre-
vent any. As to the intention of the rail
roads to import men, will say that all
they can procure will be only drop in
the bucket. There are too many skill 60
hands out to f1ll their places so as to give
even half chance to run the trains. Any
way, the American sentiment is too strong
against men who take strikers positions
tn permit a verv large body of workmen to
act as scabs at this time"
General Manager Robinson of the Santa
Fe said to an Associated Press reporter to
day that his road was determined TO move
its trains regularly and on time. "We
have sent force of switchmen with forty
deputy marshals as a guard" said Mr..
Robinson, land we intend to see that our
trains suffer no further delays. No arrests
will be made unless our men are interfered
with, but any Interference will be promptly
met by the deputies"
The deputies sent out to-day to guard
the. Santa Fe were appointed by a new
order, an Injunction issued to-day by
Judge William a. Woods of Indiana polls
