President Debs said: I'VE will give up
this strike if this appeal to the public
does not result in our favor"
President Debs said to-day: This
forenoon | issued an order tying up the
Rio Grande and Denver and Rio Grande
systems. This was in response to urgent
entreaties from Colorado. We feel en-
couraged at the outlook to-day, and shall
fight with renewed hope and confidence
in our own ultimate victory
w. V. Powell, Grand Chief of the Or
der of Railway Trainmen, said to-day:
"We are not taking any part in the
strike. We are affiliating with the rail-
road brotherhoods, and will be guided by
any action taken by the federation. We
cannot afford to come in a strike which
was ordered without consultation with
the other railroad organizations. 1t would
have been better all around had Debs and
his people called on US before ordering
the strike. Then he would have had
some claim upon us, but now it is pre-
sumptuous for him to demand US to 60
out at his bidding.'

from engineers and other railway en-

the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-

has sent out a reply covering all such
communications. He cautions the engi-
neers not to let the prevalent strike
"fever'' overcome their better judgment,
and reminds them that they are as a rule
working under an agreement with the
various railroads for stated period. He
says the engineers have no grievances,
and should not be influenced by strikers
to take part in a contest with which they
are not concerned.

Locomotive Firemen at Brighton Park
