estimating the pay of the men at the
low average of 81 a day.
On the basis of the estimate OF
men put of work in Chicago now by
reason of the strike, the workingmen
are contributing 100000 a day in
lost wages and $780, 900 more in
drafts upon their resources for the
cost of living, or a daily total of
5000, 900.
NO HELP FROM ENGINEERS.
! CLEVELAND, o., July S.-Chief
Arthur of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers said tonight:
1.-The engineers will stick to their
engines so long as they are asked to
do so by the railroads, OF as long as
they are safe against violence. The
Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers has no grievance, and any
member who strikes or leaves his
engine because the strikers urge him
| to will violate the orders rules"
CHICAGO, H., July 9.-The strike
situation tonight is more grave
than it has been any time since the
beginning of the strike.
The Pullman Company has alb
solutely refused to enter into any ar
bitration arrangement andto'morrow
over 100000 union men represent
ing 80 trades in Chicago will UNI
doubleday be ordered out, and the
bloody results that will follow can
we'll he imagined. If few thousand
men going out on a strike will cause
as much disorder, and bloodshed
and destruction of property as has
been witnessed during the last eighi
days, what will the results be i
100, 900 men are called out? the au
thorities are now asking.
Ii the big industrial tie-up is or
dered, which now seems inevitable
since the refusal of the Pullman
Company to listen to reason, many
of the Government and city official!
say that 10000 troops could not b'
so stationed about Chicago to insur,
protection TO property.
President Debs, in speaking of tn
situation tonight, said:
"The Pullman Company is Ger
tain)y responsible for any blood tina
may flow from now on. If homes
labor is not entitled to recognition
the worker cannot be blamed if b
tries to commit some acts of yiolenc
, against the man who spurned him
The United States courts, instead O
: trying to secure the officials of tn
l American Railway Union as prison
ers, should turn their attention t
George NJ. Pullman and cause hi
1 arrest for criminal conspiracy, for i
is nothing less than criminal con
E spiracy.
: 1.-The Pullman Company has b,
y "
its refusal to arbitrate %conspired t
get the Federal troops here. Wit
! 100, 900 to 200, 900 idle men in Chi
cago, and capitalists spurning them
bloodshed will follow. But we ar
now out Of it. The blood is on tn
heads of the Pullman officials"
General Miles fully realizes til
l situation and has ordered additions
, troops, and the Mayor is preparing
proclamation to be issued after tn
labor trades go out. The order 10
l martial law, it is believed tonight
! will certainly come when the indus
tries of the city become idle.
