Pullman and beat Eve railroad men, one
fatally.
Saturday evening the strikers and the
State of Illinois came together and a
litched battle was the result. The num-
Der of killed and wounded will never be
known, as the mob carried off a number
of men who were seen to fall, and wheth-
Ell they were dead or wounded or how
many of them fell it is impossible ut
this time to ascertain. As far as known
the casualties we're as follows:
Dead-John Burke, striker, killed by bay
onet thrust through abdomen.
Wounded - Lieut.. Harry Reed, Com
pany g, Second infantry, l. N. G., struck
on head by stones; condition critical.
Thomas, Jackman, shot in back; will die.
John Kanderg, stabbed with bayonet; will
die. Unknown man, shot through liver;
will die. Unknown boy, seventeen years,
shot through abdomen; will die. Tony
Gajenski, shot in right arm. Henry
Williams, shot in left arm. Unknown
woman, shot in right hip. Joseph Rhine
berg, three bayonet wounds; may die.
Anton Kocminski, shot in right side.
Joseph Sxcepanski, shot in shoulder. Un-
known boy, shot in left leg.
st. Louis, July 9.-The great railroad
strike so far as st. Louis is concerned
may be said practically to be approaching
In end, and the only desideratum now il
ability to transfer to outlying railroads
traffic originating here and hauled over
divisions having st. Louis as the orig
mating point.
Chicago, July 10. - Peace reigns in
Warsaw! The san Re cannot be said of
Chicago, for the tre5d of armed men is
still heard in her streets and the wheels
of still lag. Nevertheless the
war cloud which has overhu,.g this city
and this land for the past ten days shows
district signs of lifting. Instead of
stories of additional railroads tied up at
various points thr ouglA Ut the country,
to-day's dispatches, almost without ex-
ception, bring .advices of strikers return
ing to work aad an increased resumption
Of traffic amounting in some places to q
return to normal conditions.
At. st. Louis, Kansas City and Denver
it was reported that railroad business had
about resumed its normal conditions.
Nashville also reported an improvement.
About the only points at which the strike
managers showed any gain were in the
partial walk-out of fremen at Fort Scott,
Kan, the freight men on the Kanawha
& Michigan at Charleston, w. Va, and
the strike of the A. Il. u. men on the
Big -Four at NATION. 1t will thus BIZ
seen at the leading railroad centers the
strikers have made perceptible losses,
while their gains are at comparatively
unimportant points.
st. Paul, July 1O.-A bridge $50 feet
long on the Northern Pacific, lear Liv-
ingston, Mont, was burned last night,
stopping the Northern Pacific train sent
out of st. Paul with United States troops
On board and another coming east from
the coast. Traffic will necessarily be
suspended until the bridge is rebuilt. A
great deal of talk was INDUCED in at the
conference between the Commercial clubs
of the Twin Cities and the committee of
strikers. but no definite action was taken.
Everything is quiet in the yards here
and in Minneapolis.
Chicago, July 10. - Within the next
tw~enty-four hours will witness a cessa-
ton of all labor ON the part of the allied
trades in Chicago, and possibly through
out the country. Probably never before
in the history of this country was a meet
ing of organized labor called together
that was fraught with more Importance
tteE that which met at Uhlich's hall.
That all was not harmonious, notwith-
stonding fiery speeches by Messrs. Sow
eleign, of the Knights of Labor, Debs, Of
the A. r. u, and other labor leaders, is
evidenced by the fact that it was A
o'clock in the morning when the conven
ton finished balloting on the question.
The question was decided in the afirma-
tive by al overwhelming vote, however,
and the ultimatum propoCnded that if
Pullman does not reach a definite under
standing with his late employees before
noon Tuesday the Allied Trades Union
of Chicago will open the ball Wednesday
morning by walking out in a body.
The joint committee from the city coun-
Gil and the Federation of Labor met Vice
President Wickes ut the office of the
Pullman company at 2 o'clock. The
chairman of the council committee ex-
planned to Mr.. Wickes the nature of the
ACAuCSls IL dllcA q nc COuSulkullU
with his attorney he refused emphatical-
~ to receive the proposed committee of
five.
1.-THE Pullman company has nothing to
arbitrate," said Mr.. Wickes, "and we
must refuse to accept the committee to
which you refer. Dur company has not
receded from the position taken at the
inception of the strike. This is final"
This decided the matter and the strike
will begin Wednesday morning.
1t is said to be probable that President
Debs will be under arrest by Wednesday
morning. Judge Grosscup is in the city
and had a conference with District At
torney Milchrist. Deputy United States
Marshal Jones attempted to serve in
functions or Debs, Howard and Keliher,
restraining them from giving orders which
should, be in violation of the conspiracy,
mail and interstate laws.
Washington, July 10. - The attorney
} gene1al, Secretaries Lamont and Bissell
and Gen. Schofeld were again in con-
feleIee with the president early last
ev ening, and as a result the following 10
