A BATTLE IN ALABAMA.

Memphis, Tenn, July 16.-A
special to the Commercial Appeal
from Birmingham, Ala. A fierce
battle occurred this afternoon at
No. 3 mine, at Pratts, between
MODS OF striking miners and dep
uties, in which six men were killed
and a score wounded. The full
list of dead and MANNED cannot be
secured tonight, as the bodies were
carried off quickly after the fight
occurred.
This morning ass-meeting OF
striking miners was held on the
creek near Pratt mines, and it was
decided that the law be taken into
their own hands. aud tn t they
would kill or be killed.
About 4 80 o'clock p. NJ the
time when the employees OF the
mines quit work and come out OF
the mines, a mob OF men was secret
ed in the woods near by. As the
negroes wolld come out one by
one, a shot would be sent at the n
and they would drop to the ground
either fatally wounded or dead.
CATER the third negro had fal-
len, the deputies opened FIRE on
the mob and a fierce battle took
place.
B. w. Three, the commander OF
the Deputies, fell to the ground. A
rifle ball had pierced his body just
above the heart.
Almost at the lme instant one
of the strikers was seen to fall, but
he arose again to his knees, and,
taking al n with his rife, fired four
times at the deputies. The dsp1.
ties kept reloading their guns and
firing and the mob began dispers-
ing. Tie Deputies then made a
four around the wounded striker,
who vas still firing, and after .
time the succeeded Ia silencing his
gun. Tie proved to b. q French
man.
Another section of the mob made
an attack on a train, which Was
carrying the negroes from mine
No 4 to their homes. There were
several guards on the engine and
the attack was answered with q
fusllade Of bullets.
The first shot from the strikers
went through the cab window OF

PULLMAN STRIKE ENDED.
MEN ARE STARVED OUT AND THE
CuMPRNY TAKEN THEM BACK.

Chicago July 16.-Vlce Presi-
dent Wicker, of the Pullman Com
pany, stated today that the con-
pany is willing to take hack its
striking employees.
"Our manager at the works."
Mr.. Wickes said, "has been ln-
instructed for several weeks to put
the men back to work just as soon
as enough of them agree to work
to make the running of all depart
ments possible. We could probaO-
ly get along With 1000 men,"
Thomas w. HesthcOt, one of the
leaders of the Pullman strike com
mittee, admits that the strike, 81
far as the Pullman employees are
concerned, is practically over Ac'
cording to his views the men have
been literally starved out. The
differences between employees ana
employers, be says, is SLIGHT, a
mere matter of rent.
Mr.. Heathcot was somewhat ais
heartened today as he spoke about
the strike aud the prospects. "Ihe
men here are becoming weak, an
it takes all the leaders can do to
keep them in line. The people
have no money. l believe that
not one. third o. the men have
enough money to pack up their
goods and move as far as Kensing
ton. 1 myself have not a dollar in
the house. Those who had a little
saved up have used 1t by this tine,
and every day more and more are
are coming to the relief fund and
and drawing a small amount IN
order to keep alive"
Cincinnati, } Ily 16.-The Pull
man shops at Ludlow, hy., opened
today with a fairly good force. The
manager is not taking back any Of
the leaders of the strike, but ac-
cepts all who were freed out. lie
is also obtaining some new men.

The strike is virtually over; and
a stupendous blunder, If not a
horrible crime, it has been. Moth
ing good has been accomplished,
bat millions OF dollars worth of
property has been destroyed. A
number of innocent lives have
been sacrificed. Had it been the
lives of those who were responsible
for the strike, there would not have
been so much general regret. Many
of the strikers would now be glad
TO get back to the places which
they deserted. The Pullman EN-
ployes, for whose benefit the great
strike was ostensably made have
surrendered and are willing to
take their old places and are glad
to get their old wages.
1t may not prove an altogether
unmixed evil. 1t has demonstrate
ed tie fact very positively that the
tlre has not yet come when the
people of this country will surren-
der their rights and liberties to
mob violence. Labor has Its rights,
but it mast be taught that the
rights of others are as sacred as
their own. TIE American r Iilway
Union, by its tyranical action has
lost the respect of the people, and
its authority over Its members has
been greatly strained and weak
ened.
1t gave to Mr.. Cleveland the Op-
portunity to demonstrate the fact
that We have a President who Is
fully prepared to administer the
duties of the Office.
The signal failure of this useless
strlke will have a tendency to dis
courage similar proceedings in
future. The officers, who receive
large salaries and live in luxury
like to create an occasional dis,
turbance by which they can show
their authority, but the families OF
laboring men, who are thus de-
frauded of their daily supply of
fool must bear the burden and
suffer for the mistakes of those
wlo have nothing more than q
selfish interest in view. The good
people of the country rejoice in the
failure of Mr.. Debs in his wicked
scheme and are anSlously waiting
to hear of justice beng meted out
to him.
