In the Matter OF the Pullman strike
The A. II. L. Adjourns.
Chicago. June 25.-The first quadren-
rial convention of the Americon Rail
way union has adjourned until June Is,
1SaS. All arrangements for the boycott
of the Pullman company were discussed,
and the adjourn ne: t was taken amid
enthusiastic cheering for President Debs
and the ether office s. In the election
for two directors II. ]. Elliott Of Butte,
Mont. a7d J. +. McVean of Cleveland,
Clio. were the successful nominees. The
s~alGries Of the various officers were fixed
by the convention as follows: President,
$4,000 per year; vice president, secretary
and chief editor of the Railway Times,
S2,4OO each; directors, $500 per annum.
A resolution of thanks TO the delegates
was presented TO the convention by the
Pullman delegation for the action taken
in relation to the trouble at Pullman
ard for donations made to the Pullman
relief fund. President Debs in the mat
ter of the proposed action against the
Pullman company cautioned the delegates
10 stand firm, and to give their utmost
confidence to the officers and the board
of directors. He assured them that the
crcc n~ization would win this fight, as it
had won all it had undertaken in the
pest. He believes it might result in
the greatest railroad strike in the his
tory of the country, and that this was
only another reason why they should be
firm, and take advantage of every OPP
p~ortunity to help their struggling brothers
at Pullman.
