CHICAGO, July 0.-Grand Master
Workman Sovereign, OF the Knights Of
Labor, arrived in Chicago to-day from
Dss Moincs. He said hc had como to
Chicago to render what assistance he
could TO the American Railway Union.
He thought the climax Of the movement
was about reached and 1t was impera.
tive that ovory labor organization
should put in its best blows to win tho
atrike. He added:
"This 10 the most critical period in
the history OF unionism in America. It
Is tho time for every labor leader to
rally his forces and join in the struggle
for existence.
"As regards walk.out on the part Of
the members OF all trades unions in tho
city, will cay that I think 1t might
bring about great good. Certainly 1t
would force upon tho people stronger
realization OF the necessity for settle.
ment OF these troubles, and the popu.
lace would rise en- massc in demand
for arbitration,
"Arbitration tho laboring man Is not
afraid Of. The capitalist, though. will
not accede to 1t, Mr.. Dobs stands
ready to actor aroasonable settlement" !"
