This morning District Attorney Milchrist
filed al information charging the officers
of the union with violating the injunction
and asked for a writ of attachment for
c. Lite mpt. 1t was not necessary to issue
a writ for Debs, for he was in court
when the information was filed. When
the injunction was issued by Judges
Gre sscup and Woods the usual chancery
summons was issued and those named i'll
the injunction arc directed to appear in
court to answer That was what brought
Debs into court with the attorneys who
hive been retained to defend him and his
brother officers. The information was
read to the court by District Attorney
Milchrist.
When Mr.. Milchrist had finished read
ing the information Attorney George r.

it applies to the Santa Fe. A number of
acts of violence were alleged and inter-
ferance with trains. Attorney Erwin, for

cents. A telegram Vas produced in court
sent by Debs o. July 2 to North Butte,
Mont. 1t read as follows: General
mi Eegers weakening. If the strike is
not settled in forty-eight hours COM

Chicago, July 14.-The Federation of
Labor has decided not to order a general
strike of all the trades affiliated with the
Federation. A resolution was adopted,
however, endorsing the A. r. U. strike
and voting $1,000 for Debs' defense.
The action of the Federation is consid-
cred a serious blow to the A. r. u.
The general managers have returned
Mr.. Debs proposition without answer,
but with the information to the mayor
that no communication whatever from
the parties signing could be received or
considered by the association. This
means that the strike will be continued
until one side or the other surrenders un-
conditionally.
Chicago, July 14.-At 9 o'clock Presi-
dent Debs called a meeting of his direc-
tory at the Revere house, and for a half
hourhour the strike leaders were in close
Gil chamber were unlocked Mr.. Debs an
nounced calmly that he would officially
declare the strike off under certain con-
ditions. J.. B. Sovereign said: 'The
papers to call the strike off were all
drawn up yesterday. They contained two
provisions; first, that there should be ar
bitration, and, second, that all striking
employees except those charged with
crime should be taken back by the en-
ployers. I have not seen MI. Debs this
morning, but as arbitration has been Sc
cured, and. that is all we wanted, thus
a great victory has been obtained for
labor"
Debs went to the city hall and pre-
sented the proposition which he proposed
to present to the general managers to
Mayor Hopkins, and asked the mayor to
accompany him to the general managers
Office. The mayor, Debs, Sovereign and
Howard then left for the Office of the
general managers. Managers st. John
and Egan said that the general managers
had adjourned and no meeting would be
held until tomorrow. They intimated,
however, that Debs' proposition woul
be rejected.
st. Paul, July "a. - All matters are
quiet locally, to-day. Passenger and
freight service on the Northern division
of the Omaha is restored, and fridays
tain out over the Northern Pacific will
TIN as far as Mandan. General Super
ir tendent Kimberly has notified General
Traffic Manager Hannaford that the
Minnesota and Dakota divisions are open
for the transportation of freight, and a
circular in harmony with that will be
issued. On all other rt ads the situation
is all right, and the fact that the strike
has not been declared off will not sut
much figure either way. The 500 trouble
is not affecting traffic. General Manager
Underwood states that the strike will not
be general and he does not anticipate any
trouble. '
Sacramento, July IA bloody battle
occurred between strikers and a company
of regulars. AS far IS can be a~scertained
two strikers We're killed and two wound
ed Division Superintendent Wright
ordered an engine and two fiat cars to
