broken any law of the United States
we will take our punishment like men,
But this action is without parallel in
any strike ever known in the history
of the American people, whether on
railways or not. We shall make no
change il our methods, being con-
WINGED that they are Perfectly legal,

Washington dispa. ches say the news
of the indictment OF Eebs and his asso-
ciates was received with undisguised
satisfaction by the President and MEM
bers OF his Cabinet.
The position OF the government is that
officers of the body viii ordered the
boycott, Debs and others can be held
responsible for whatever has or may
grow out of it, whether any member Of
the Americ an Railway Union is directly
involved in acts of violence or not.
This much was clearly made known
by the language of Judge Gros.cup's
charge, which, though setting forth in
unmistakable terms the position Ct the
Government, recognil ed the rights Of
the workingmen to organize for their
better advancement. He defined in
surrection against government and
plainly stated the limit to which labor
leaders should 60. 1t is understood
that Attorney General Olney himself
outlined the plan of procedure. Presi-
dent Debs was not at all afraid Of the

In the meantime the prices Of meat
and provisions supplied by the West
have advanced In price one-third to
the Chicago consumer, while train
load after train load Of perishable
freight lost its va'ue because 1t could
not be moved to its destination. A po-
tato famine exis Is which has made po-
tatoes a luxury at So per barrel. The
strike has wrought hardships on mil
lions, has visited untold losses upon the
companies and those grappl ng with
them, has led to harsh m easures by the
government and in other ways has
been most injurious. In view OF the
hard times, AID following soon after
the great coal strike, this present
trouble only puts back the return -
better days, SO long delayed and so
eagerly awaited In many ways Mr..
Pullman himself will find the conflict
@ silly and ann ,ying. In ne particular
will he always have reason to regret
it. This Is in the decision of some Of
the compan cs using Pullman cars to
do without them and to manufacture
a substitute in their shops. This will
be a great blow to Pullman and the
city he has built up on the outskirts
of Chicago.

they made known their plan for the

Frenxiod Mobs Fights with Squad OF the
National Guard.
In defending a wrecking train and
crew on the Forty-ninth street tracks
of tho Grand Trunk Railroad at
LOOMS street in Chicago, Saturday,
the police and company Of militia
fired into the crowd. They had been
stoned and shot into the mob indis-
criminately. The soldiers also charged
with their bayonets. One man was
fatally and seventeen, including three
women and baby, more or less seri-
ously wounded.
Lieut.. Feed and thirty-eight men of
company q went out from the Dear
born station about 2:45 on a wrecking
train. Their duty was to guard the
train and prevent interference with
the workmen on the part of the rioters.
No difficulty was met with until the
crossing at Forty-seventh and Loomis
street was reached. Here the train
stopped and the laborers went to work
to lift box car which was ly ing across
the tracks. A crowd of 10000 was
gathered about the crossing and at
once began to threaten violence.

oi the strikers. The Michigan
Genital was forced TO abandon all
trains. The Illinois Central was in
the same fix. The Rock Island and
the Lake Shore and Michigan South
orn lines were completely tied up,
their tracks having been blockaded by
wrecked cars strewn along miles Of
the two lines by the mob which had
possession OF the territory traversed
BY the tracks. The Chicago and Alton
Road was running occasional trains at
the Chicago end OF the line,

City and intermediate points. The
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
system alone did a comparatively un-

and as q result United States
soldiers shot down four persons. one
of them being killed instantly.
Riot broke forth In Hammond late Sat
urday night and ragged until $50 p. m,
when the shedding of blood brought
the mob to a realization o. the Jolly of
resisting United States authorities.
Blood was shed as a direct result of an
attempt on the part of the strikers to
interfere with the operation of a
wrecking train In charge of Capt. w.
1. Hartz of the Fifteenth Infantry.
The train had been sent out TO clear
the Monon tracks of the box cars, pas
