Dor Organizations at
Chicago.

Rioting Stopped in Chicago-Improved
Situation on Western Roads-sen-

evening President Debs, of the A. R. u,
informed reporter that he HAD received
message from L. S. Lawrence, vice
president of the First National bank, say
ing that Vlce-Presldent Wickes, of the
Pullman company, is willing to see him.
Mr.. Debs thereupon told Lawrence that
he was perfectly willing to meet W1ckes.
Vlce-President Wickes was seen later
at his office and said:
"Lawrence called on me and asked me
if I would be willing to meet committee
of our employees. l told him would
gladly meet such a committee and | have
always been willing to meet such dele
cation at any time. The position of the
Pullman com pany, however, is unchanged.
l do not expect that the committee will
tion. If they desire to discuss the situa-
tion, as said, am ready and willing to
do so."
Mr.. E. t. Lawrence said: "There has
been no talk whatever of meeting be-
tween Debs and Wickes or between Debs
and any representative of Pullman's COM
pany. There will be no meeting between
these people. There has been talk of a
meeting between Mr.. Pullman and com.
mittee of his employees, but whether this
will come to anything or not I can not
say"
MORE OF II.
Hinged upon remote contingency,
George M. Pullman will within the next
twenty-four hours agree to submit to ar
bitration or otherwise to settle the differ
ence existing between the Pullman COM
pany and its employees, and it is a ques-
tion whether or not the next twenty yfour
hours will witness cessation of all labor
on the part of the allied trades not only
| in Chicago, but throughout the country,
Probably never before in the history of
the country was meeting of organized
labor called together that was fraught
with more Importance than that which
/ met at Uhlich's hall last evening. That
! all
| WAS NOT HARMONIOUS,
Notwithstanding the fiery speeches by
Messrs. Sovereign, of the Knights of La
Dor, Debs of the A. R. IT,, and other labor
leaders, is evidenced by the fact that it
was O'Clock this morning when the con-
vention finished balloting on the propo-
sition. The question was decided in the
affirmative by an overwhelming vote
however, and the ultimation propounded
that if Pullman does not reach a definite
understanding with his late employees be
fore noon on Tuesday, the allied trade
unions of Chicago will open the ball al
O'Clock a. m. on Wednesday by walking
out in body. An idea of the widely
diversified interests involved in the latest
movement may be gained by glance al
