AFTER THE MANAGERS.
Grand Jury Will Next Turn Its At
tention to the Railroad
oi.a1c


Chicago, ILL.,, July lit is reported
mat when the federal grand jury con-
Guides its investigation of the American
Railway union it will begin an inquiry
INTO the policy and methods of the Gen
eral Managers association. Among the
leaders of the workingmen the charge has
been made openly and repeatedly that the
obstruction of United States mails and
the interruptions of interstate commerce
was due quite as much to the general
managers as to the railway union. 1t
EaS been alleged that the general manag-
ers agreed among themselves that no
trains should be run on any of the roads
until all had gained their points in dis
pute with the men. This was done, it is
charged, to hold back such companies as
showed an inclination to treat with its
employees and bring about resumption of
traffic on its own lines. 1t is asserted by
the men that they can prove that tele-
grams were sent out from the General
Managers association ordering certain
railroad lines to send out no trains till
a designated scheme had been accom-
pllshed. All this, the men insist, is as
clear case of conspiracy on the part OF
the general managers as the action of
Debs and his associates, and renders
them lndictable for conspiracy. Judge
Grosscup and District Attorney Milchrist
have said that justice will be meted out
mparhally to all yiolators of the federal
statutes

Carnot, which was launched yesterday.

smoke issuing from the hold of the YES
sci. An alarm was promptly given, and
1t was found that the fire had only just
been started, and therefore 1t was easily
extinguished. The flames had been start
ed in Il manner which leaves no room for
doubt that it was Il plot to destroy the
ship A large bottle of turpentine had
been emptied over the woodwork of the
hold in manner well calculated to cause
a rapid spread of the fire. Near the bot
tie box of matches was found, and sew
'eral burned matches were around the
spot where the flames burst forth. 1t Is
reported that one of the dockyard work
men, suspected of being an Anarchist,
was shortly afterwards arrested and CON
fessed that he and his accomphces
planned to set fire to the Carnot

Forms of Government.

1t has taken 12O years for the people
of this nation-or a part of them-to
realize the aximatic truth that like
causes produce like effects even in
government, that this is no more a
real republic than England and that
the masses of this country and those
of England or any other monarchy are
on par of property, hunger and dirt.
Like causes, say, for this nation is
governed on precisely the same plan
as are these other countries. We
have constitutional king with great
er power than most of the hereditary
kings. We have Senate, for whom
the people are not allowed to vote,
just the same as the House of Lords,
and our Senate is even more ariStOcrat
ic and venal, and then we have pOpu-
lar branch of congress voted for by the
people same as the house of commons.
Because we elect our kings makes him
none the less oppressive or ambitious.
We have land laws same as in Europe
except the law of entail which is COM
pensated for by the organization of
corporations which prevents the divid-
ing up of great fortunes. We have
the same laws enabling few to get
the wealth and force the many to hire
them as SO many slaves. We have the
same money laws which enable the
few to lay their whitening hands on
the exchanges Of the people and levy
a tribute greater than all the revenues
