DEBS AND COMPANY.
They Insist on Remaining in Jail-Strike
situation.

CHICAGO. July lS.-DebS and his COM
panions are kept busy refusing offers to
furnish bail, and adhere to their deter
mination to stay In jail. They do not live
on prison-fare, however. but have their
meals sent In from neighboring
restaurant.
They spent several hours In the visi-
tors cage. with other representatives OF
the union and their relatives, answering
correspondence and directing the move
ments of strikers. A short visit was made
TO the office of their counsel for consul
tation. The rest of the day was spent
upon the affairs OF the organization.
In the absence of Directors Hogan and
Goodwin in the Northwest, and on ac-
count OF the Imprisonment OF the four
others, there was no quorum in the Exc
cutive Board available to-day. Director
Burns practically had charge of affairs,
although the prisoners were consulted,
and issued directions In regard TO the
strike outside Chicago. At Ulrich's Hall
the road committees reported that the
union was not losing ground IN Chicago.
Director Burns, addressing mass-meet-
ing OF strikers afterwards. said: "The
western roads are crippled. and we are
going to win, II they put $500 or US In
jail"
The shops at Pullman will probably be
opened In a few days. The total number
of applications received by the Pullman
Company from strikers who want TO re-
turn Is seventy-five. The great body of
strikers are getting plenty TO eat, and

full of fight as ever.

way Union, said tonight that the Wo-
mans Union at Pullman was the best OF
all Of the 800 unions in the United States.
Rev III. W. Thomas, pastor OF the Peo-
pies church, said after a conference to-

thing.
