Chicago, July 23-Messrs. Debs, How
ard, Keliher and Rogers, the American
Railway union officials, to-day issued an
address to the public, the substance of
which is as follows.
Headquarters American Railway
Union, Cook County Jail, Chicago, July
22.-To the Great American Public: 1t
is almost universally conceded that the
Pullman company through oft repeated
reductions of wages, excessive rents and
many other causes, has grievously
wronged its employees, and whatever may
be said about the great railway strike
which resulted in consequence of such
grievances, the arbitrary refusal of the
Rfllman company to submit to arbitra-
ton In any form (even to decide the ques-
ton if there was anything to arbitrate)
is proof positive that said company had
no faith in the justice of its cause, and
fears the disclosures that are certain to
result from an honest investigation, and
in view of heavy losses entailed upon
the country, such obstinacy on the part
of the Pullman company is deserving of
the severest condemnation. We propose
that the Pullman company shall be
brought to justice, and this in a way
that will not necessitate q strike with its
attendant ills. We have faith in the
American people; they uphold Justice;
they love fair play. And now in the
name of justice and fair play we appeal
to the great American public, to every
good man and every good woman not to
ride in Pullman car until the Pullman
company does justice to its employees.
Let the cars run absolutely empty. No
friend of labor; no friend of humanity
will occupy seat or berth in q Pull
man car. Let this policy be inaugurated
and we will see how long the railway
companies viii be bound by their con-
tracts as they have induced the public
to believe to haul Pullman cars.
I'VE propose to continue this fight
against the Pullman company through
good and evil report till justice shall be
done. There will be no surrender We
will use every available and lawful means
to push the contest. 1t is requested that
all papers throughout the land, favorable
to labor, to justice, to humanity, copy
this statement in full and keep it stand
ing as long as possible"
Another installment of the seventy
three men indicted by the federal grand
jury for participation in the railroad
strikes gave pail to-day. In the course of
the day FIVE of the directors of the Ameri-
can Railway union were brought In.
They were William e. Burns, ], ]. Doyle,
Martin Elliott, Roy NJ. Goodwin and
James Hogan. Doyle was arrested at
his home and the others were found at
the headquarters of the union. When
Burns was informed that he and the
whole board of directors were indicted
he called his brother directors and in
formed them that they were wanted.
They all at once proceeded to the court
room, where Burns was bailed out by
Mike Mcdonald, the well known poll
tieieyss rlsS Sthsss were baiied out short:
~ after.
Sacramento, July 23.-The mediation
committee of the A. R. u. held meet
ing and unanimously voted to declare the
strike off Internationally. They sent a
short notice to that effect to Supt Fill
more. The military will probably re-
main two or three days yet to look after
the few hotheads who have been intimi.
