Chicago. July 15-The A. r. U. officials
have determined to make a desperate
struggle to regain for that order the
prestige it has lost in the great strike now
rapidly approaching a close.
THE executive board of the union held
a meeting this morning, the object Of
which was to map out course for the

After a long discussion it was decided to
send out ''revivalists" to alt important

sent out Saturday and it was decided 10
augment this number.

could be learned outside to verify this
assertion, however.

Urging Them On.

Chicago, July 15.-President Debs
visited the strikers and addressed a
crowd of strikers, who have for the
most part failed to secure their old po-
sitions. He urged them to continue the
Istrike. which, he declared, was never
nearer to a victory than now. The
men agreed to stand by Debs, but at
the same time, expressed themselves
violently against the men who have
taken their places. The switchmen
and enginemen were especially loud in
their protests against a surrender.
The butchers also had bitter words,
all those men having seen their jobs
filled the day before by non-union and
imported men.
The opinion was expressed the war
was only begun.
During the day the district was plas-
tered and covered with bills and post
ers reading as follows:
Executive board Knights of Labor
do hereby advise all workmen to keep
away from the stock yards on Monday,
as it is the desire of all organized
bodies that all honest workingmen
should do so. and we further condemn
the action of the coopers in returning
to work as high-handed and selfish,
without asking concessions of the Ia
borers. and that all men found work
ing in the yards on Monday will for
lever be branded as enemies to organ
lied labor. By order of committed

TROUBLE OVER WARRANTS.
Mississippi officials aTay Find Them
selves in a Very Fad Boat.

Jackson, Miss, July 15.-The Mississippi
legislature, at it's last session, passed an
act authorizing the. governor, the au-
ditor and the treasurer TO issue treasury
warrants in denominations of 50 should it
elal crisis. The issue was limited to $780,
600. 1t was the intention of the legisla-
ture to have the warrants pass as
money all over the state.
Immediately after the passage of the
act, the state auditor contracted with
printing OF the warrants and the first
lnstallment of $4,000 was delivered to the
state treasury and placed in circulation
a few weeks ago
Yesterday Governor Stone received a
dispatch from w. w. Hazen, chief of
the United States secret service at Wash
lngton, demanding that the governor send
to him all of the unsigned warrants that
have not been placed in circula ton Mr..
HaZen telegraphed the ST. Louis bank
note company that the plates be turned
over to the government.
In an interview, Governor Stone stated
that he would not comply with Mr..
Hazen's demand in any particular, and
that the issue of the special warrants
will be continued until the full issue of
100000 is completed The state officials
regard Hazen's demand as an unwar-
ranted interference and will not treat it
seriously. They say that the demands
were based on the assumption that the
special warrants resemble too closely
United States currency and are viola tive
of the laws of the United States This
is denied by Governor Stone, who says
the act of the legislature is sustained by
the best legal authorities in the country

CONSERVATIVE BUT TRUE.
The Stand Taken by Those in
Authority.


All lovers of law and order must feel
gratified and have an increased respect
for the institutions of his country when
the stirring events of the last few
weeks are reviewed, and the conserva-
tive but firm stand taken by those in
authority is considered. A large ma
jority of the strikers are undoubtedly
opposed to deeds of violence, and many
of them see the folly of strikes.
Strikes seldom injure the person or
company aimed at, at least not in the
way intended, but they always injure
the general public and impoverish the
country, and as these are the people
that patroniZe the railroads, it is evil
dent that they are forced to do less
travelling and less business. This has a
direct tendency to cause a, further re-
duction of wages, not only on railroad
lines but in all branches of business,
and is followed as a natural conse-
quence by more strikes.
Such conditions not only make all
business improbable, but prevent
many new enterprises from being I'M
dertaken, and forces capital to either
seek investments in some other coun-
try or to lie idle.
When railroads go into the hands of
receivers, merchants fail and farmers
find their farms buried beneath mort
cages, as a result of these causes. it
does not signify that the workingman
has gained a victory but that he has
succeeded, by agitation, in concentrat-
ing capital much more rapidly than
would have been possible under natural
conditions.
That this is a serious state of affairs
or that the country is going to the dogs
does not follow by any means, nor do
we presume to say that Improvement
could not be made.
AS water rises to it's level, so will
good times return, and in spite of the

TALKED OUT IN MEETING.
Marvin Hughitt Takes His Pastor to
Task and Discusses the Question


Marvin Hughitt TakeS HIS FaStor 10
Task and Discusses the Question
of Boycott.
Chicago, July 15.-Quite a sensation
was created here today in the First
PRESBYTERIAN church when Martin
Hughitt, president of the Chicago &
Northwestern company, arose and
made a vigorous reply to statement
made by Professor BeniS in his adj
dress on the strike and its lessons.
Professor Bemis had said in part if
1.-THE railroads expected their men to
be Iaw-abiding they must set the ex-
ample.
Il do not attempt to justify the
strikers" said he, Gin their boycott of
railroads. The railroads themselves
mot long ago placed an offending Tail-
road under the ban and refused to
honor tickets or transport freight Of
that road. Such boycotts are no more
to be justified than those of the strik-
lers. Let there be some equality in
these things"
At this point, to the surprise of the
congregation, Mr.. Hughitt left his seat
and took his stand Immediately In
front of Professor Bemis. AS soon as
the last words of benediction had been
uttered. he made vigorous reply to
the professors statement and de-
manded an instance of a boycott in
stituted by the railroads.
Mr.. Bemis replied instances were
only too numerous where railroads had
associated to refuse to honor tickets or
transport freight over some of the Of
Tending lines.
But that is not a boycott" said Mr..
Hughitt.
Professor Bemis replied that if it
was not a boycott he was willing to let
the matter rest. After a few further
remarks by Mr.. Hughitt, the matter
was dropped.

Washington. July 15.-The only positive
indication for the week in the Senate is
that the consideration of the appropria-
ton bills will be continued.
There is probability that a day or
two will be given to the Chinese treaty.
and a possibility that the tariff confer
ence report will call for attention in some
shape.
The taking up of the treaty will depend
upon whether the managers of the ap-
preparation bills will consent to yield the
time for it, and the further consideration
of the tariff question will depend uDon
whether the conferees shall make their
report and incidentally, upon the char
acter of the report when made.
Senator Gray, representing the admin
iStration, is very anxious to have the
treaty disposed of, and he has expressed
the opinion that 1t will be possible to
get it up Tuesday or Wednesday. When
considered, it probably will consume an
entire day, if not more time, in executive
session.
Secretary Gresham does not conceal the
concern he feels with regard to the
treaty, and he has been reinforced dur
ing the past week in his efforts to Sc
cure early and favorable consideration
by the presence and arguments of Minis
ter IDENTIFY, who has visited the Senate
on different occasions in that behalf
If the tariff conference report shall
reach the Senate, it will undoubtedly
evoke a considerable discussion if it
should attempt to lower the rates or
change any of the material amendments
of the Senate,
2 When the Senate adjourned Saturday,
the executive and judicial appropriation
bill was under consideration. 1t is ex-
pected, when it shall be disposed of, as
1t is thought it will be on Monday, the
Indian appropriation will be taken up
and that out of the way, the agricultural,
District of Columbia, sundry civil and
general deficiency bills will be considered
probably In the order named. These will
complete the list. 1t is possible there
will be more or less rebate on all Of
these bills, but if other questions are
not allowed to interfere, all probably can
be disposed of during the week.

MEDILL ON THE STRIKE.
Thinks 1t VIII Have a Purifying
and Beneficial ERect-People have
AL,

! Been Asleep.
| New York, July 15.--Among the replies
received by the World to a request for
views as to the Pullman strike, was the
! following from Joseph Medill, editor of
the Chicago Tribune:
81 believe the result of this strike will
be of great benefit to the. country. It is
like a thunder storm that suddenly
sweeps up purifies the atmosphere and
results in a better supply of health-glving
ozone 1t will result in Congress deVisin =
laws whereby disputes between railroads
and their employees will be tremendously
adjusted. l have great faith in the An
glo-Saxon race to govern themselves. The
people have been asleep until awakened
by this great economic earthquake. | be-
lieve that in twelve months we will have
laws that will provide for the full settle
ment of future disorders. ] think the con-
tract system can be applied successfully
by the railroads. Employees should be en-
gagged under contract and hold their posi-
of the company and perform their duties
faithfully. No man should be discharged
without due notice and no man should
leave the employ of the company without
serving notice. / endorse the scheme en-
dorsed by the huge brain of Bismarck in
the German empire.
Proceeding, he gives a detailed scheme
for the complete regula ton through a
which should be made by Congress
which would provide for the retiring Of
men from active service at the age Of s.
years, on half pay for the rest of life,
or to pay such pension to his family in
case of his being killed. Also to provide
for the payment of q certain sum to en-
ployees who are i'll, during their term of
illness.
Many other points which he suggests
are of a nature long felt by the employees
of great CORPORATIONS, to be the only
means which could ameliorate the strain
ed conditions now existing between en-
ployers and employees.

today. Hardly had the meeting been
called to order and before any business
was transacted Phillip Kelly, of the
Theatrical Employees Protective asso-
citation, started the ball rolling by say
ing that the strike was a decided sue
cess.
IF Chief Arahur had confirmed his
convictions. the strike would have been
won in twenty-four hours he declared.
Henry Wisemann of the Bakers
union blamed Debs for calling the
strike off.
when Debs declared the strike off, -
he said, there was a blow at organized
labor in this country. If Debs had been
wise, he would have conferred with the
Federation of Labor as we'll as the
Knights of Labor instead of forming a
partnership with Sovereign.
Sovereign assumed too much when
he said he would call out 100000 men
in this country. He has not the power
to do so.''
Master Workman J. B. Archibald
said that Debs conducted the strike adj
mirably until labor lent a helping hand
by sending leaders from New York, and
then the strike went to pieces.
Meyers, Damshoff and Bandress
hoped that some of these leaders would
be called to account for their action.

Amalgamated Association of Iron
Workers to Strike.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 15.-Another
strike is imminent in Pittsburg and
vicinity. If predictions from reliable
sources prove true, the Amalgamated
Associat ton of Iron and Steel workers
will attempt, on or about August 1, to
shut down all mills here where pud-
dlers are working for less than 1915.
To accomplish this end, organization
has been going until almost every non

The movement, for the present, is to
be confined to pudding mills and to
be developed further in the future.
