When did Mr.. Debs become a convert to
arbitration? Early in April Of this year he
ordered a strike on the Great Northern rail-
road The company had gone over sched-
ules with the chiefs OF all the old organi-
cations or labor represented in the road,
and the men were taking a vote On these
when Mr.. Debs ordered the strike. After
this strike had been In force for two weeks
the American Railway Union and a COM
mittee OF employees on a strike sent a mes
sage to President Hill asking for a confer
ence. President Hill wired back this reply:
The company is always ready TO re-
ceive and hear it's employees or their rep
resentatives on all matters affecting their
relations with the company"
Vice President Clough, OF the same road,
said at the same time:
''The company has stated time and again
that IL is always ready TO hear its en-
ployes who have grievances. n men know
this"
Mr.. Debs and the American Railway
Union refused 10 submit TO arbitration the
differences between the company and the
men. Governor Nelson, OF Minnesota, and
the Boards of Trade OF Minneapolis and ST.
Paul repeatedly tried to have the differ
ences arbitrated. President Hill expressed
his willingness for such arbitration. because
he had been the first railway president 20

trstion would not recognize Mr.. Debs and
the American Railway Union. Debs wanted
a conference because that would place him
on the same footing with Chiefs Arthur,
Sargent and Clark, OF the engineers fire.

President Hill agreed TO the conference,
and met the thirty-three members OF the
American Railway Union and the grievance
committee of the employees in St. Paul.
April 20. Mr.. Hill announced, at this con-
ference, his willingness TO arbitrate, but
the American Railway Union demanded. az
the first condition. that the road grant all
the demands OF the men for a renewal OF
the wage schedule In force prior TO last
August.
That was Mr.. Debs's manner OF meeting
an offer OF arbitration at ST. Paul. He had
successfully tied up the Great Northern
road. and he refused ali offers of compro-
mise not dictated by himself and his union.
He then placed himself In just the position

FORT WAYNE, Ind, July 12.-The papers
all have editorials to-day replying TO the
demand of the ~ r. l.. that they remain
neutral. The News, Journal, Gazette,
and Stats Zeitung take decided stands
and most emphatically decline to accept
a censorship of their papers. The News
says were they to remain neutral they
could not criticise the %harshness and inhu-
manity of Pullman. nor commend the pa
triotic course of Governor Matthews, nor
condemn Governor Altgeld. The Journal, at
the end of an eloquent editorial. closes:
"As between the a. r. L. on one side and
maintenance of the government on the
other. we are for law and order every
time" The Gazette is more sarcastic and
prints the letter verbatim. All of the pa
pers expect to be boycotted tomorrow.
The strike in this city is practically over,
and passenger and freight trains are run
ming regularly on all roads excepting the
Wabash and Nickle-plate lines. Their pas
senger trains are all right, but the freights
are Irregular. By tomorrow they expect
to have everything running on time.

NORTH VERNON, Ind, July 12.-Democ-
racy of the Third congressional district to-
day turned down Congressman, the Hon.
Jason B. Brown, of Jackson county, and
nominated Strother s., Stockslager. of Har-
rison county. The victory of Stockslager
is believed to have been won at the ex-
pense Of losing the district, for, after the
exhibition the Brown people made of them
selves, to swing around and support the
nominee would involve the rankeSt self
qualification. The temper Of Brown and
his adherents was shown in the address of
Jason Brown, in which he skinned alive"
the men who accomplished his defeat. This
morning the district committee met and
decided upon the amended basis of appor-
tionment as outlined in the special to the
Journal last night. This increased the num-
Der of delegates from 1G7 TO al. The Stock
slayer men denounced IL as a villainous
scheme to wrest from them a fairly-earned
victory, but at the same time the Stock
slayer men proceeded to gather in their
proportion of the additional delegates, and
when the convention met the nomination of
Stockslager was a foregone conclusion.
Senator Leyden, chairman of the district
committee, called the convention to order
at l o'clock, and set the pace that Brown
was to follow later. He explained the cir
cumstances under which the original call
was issued and the reasons that prompted
the change in the basis of apportionment.
IF any man claims" said he, that this
change was for the purpose of enhancing
the chances of any candidate the truth is
not in him and he is a dirty scoundrel. I
hope continued Senator Leyden, this
convention will not repeat the blunder COM
mitted in the sixth, when the man nomi-
mated declined and stalked off to Washing
ton to accept a federal appointment"
DRIVE AT STOCKSLAGER.
This was a drive at Stockslager, who ran
away from the nomination the year when
there was a prospect of defeat and accept
ed the commiSsionership in the Land Of
fee. Charles j. Kirby, of Madison, was
chosen permanent chairman, and spoke
briefly. ~endeavoring to pour oil on the
waters. There was a row over the appoint
ment of the committee on resolutions. DR..
Wolf. Of Jeff%ersonville, offered a list Of
members, which Representative Barnes OPP
posed, charging an attempt on the part of
the machine to throttle the convention and
suppress it's sentiments. Barnes offered an
amendment authorizing the delegation
from each county to choose it's member on
the committee. The first amendment pre-
vailed. The convention then proceeded to
