 | CHICAGO. July 23-Messrs. Dchs, How Ird, Kelihcr and Rogers, the American Railway union officials, havc issued an address to the public, the substance of which is as follows:
 | ''To the American Public:
 Ut is almost universally conceded that the Pullman company, through oft re- peated reductions of wages, excessive rents and many other causes. has grievously | wrongcd its employees. hnd whatever may | be said about the great railroad strike | which resulted in consequence of such | grievances the arbitrary rCfusal of said Pullman company to submit t0 hrbitra- ton in any form (cyon to decide the qucs- tion if there was anything to arbitratcl Is proof positive that the company has no faith in the justice of its cause and fears | the disclosurJs that are certain to rCsult | from an honest invest t'gatiOn, and in view | of the heavy losses cntailed upon the | country such obstinacy on the part of tho Pullman company Is deserving uf the se- | vcrest condemnation.
 We propose that the Pullman company shall he brought to justice, and this in a way that will not necgssitato n strike, with its attendant ills
 | Don't Ride on PuIIman Cars
 We have faith in tho American pco- pie. They uphold justice; they love fair play: and now, in the name of justice and fair play. We appeal to the Ercat Amcri- can public, to every good man and every | gOod woman, not to ride in n Pullman car until tho Pullman company does jus | ticc to its employees. Let tho cars run absolutely empty. No friend of labor
 no friend of humanity. will occupy n seat or berth in Pullman car. Let this policy bc inaugurarcsl, nId we will then sec how long the railway companies will
 be bound by their contracts, as they have
 induced the public to believe they have,
 to haul Pullman cars.
 We propose to continue tho fight
 against tho Pullman company, through
 good and evil report and without regard
 to consequences, until justice shall be
 done. There will be no surrrndcr. We
 will uso every available and lawful means
 to press tho contest
 Earnestly appealing to the great pub
 lie to aid us ir this unequal contest and
 relying with implicit faith upon the final
 and powerful triumph of tho right we
 subscribe ourselves.
 StilI Confident of Success.
 In regard to the appeal Mir. Dcbs said:
 "Sincc the cessation of tho recent hos
 tilitics wc have received letters from all
 parts of the country from persons who, | "ullG tlo iiOI HI tilt
 Pullman strike arc with us first and last.
 They say they nrc very much dissatisfied
 with Pullman's absolute refusal tn enter
 tain any proposition looking toward n set
 tlcment of tho differences
 "We arc going to continue to appeal tO
 the American people not to ride in his
 cars on account of this sympathy, and we
 will see whether hauling empty cars can
 not bring Mir. Pullman to time.

 at Pullman. but tho men will not return
 to work-that has been decided by them
 and their places cannot be filled. We are
 constantly receiving tclCgsrams from all
 parts of the country stating that the men
 are still out and determined to stay out
 until the strike Is declared of. In this
 city the switchmcn. with the exception ol [ n very few, arc out as snlidly for us as they were tho day the strike was declared.
 While the companies say that they arG running their trains on time, it Is never thelcss fact that they are hadly crippled especially with their freight service. We are confident of ultimate succCss, and Oul l organization is growing at the rate of GOt l members day"
 :, | A party oC Boston people who had been , out to tho Pacific coast has arrived ir , Chicago. They wcrc caught in southern : California by tho strike and wcrc three weeks in getting over the southern Pa : ciflc road their train hcing tied up nc [ less than four times, but fortunately al t points where 1t was possible to get provi sions.
 n Trouble Expected at Pullman. [ Another section of the plant at Pullman
 will resume activity today. officials of thu company having announced that tht
 works of tho Allen Paper Car Wheel com
 pany employing 30 men, would start uI ! in full operation. It was also announced T that the Illinois Central shops at Burnside c would begin operations today with a force ' of operatives increased to nearly SO(
 men. Pullman officials also said tha n the force of girls in the laundry and tn, , number of laborcrs employed about th' Il works would be largely augmented. Tn view of these announcements, anG s the evident intention of tho strikers. n { openly expressed by them In public place Il about Pullman, to mako 1t as difficult fO $ the company to open these additional DOT L. tions of the works as possible, 1t was fear z cd by tho leaders of the police and militi;
 that thcro might bs collisions between strikers and those whom tho company in T. iuccd to return to work Provision wa n made against this possible trouble by in y crcasing the reserves of police at the llyd C Park, kCnsington and south Chicago sta l. tions.
 IF An organizer for the 4. E. L. in PulI ,- man said that one Uf the next moves O
 the union would be to sue in the court for an injunction restraining the furthe II presence of the militia about the Pullman d works. This was in accordance, he said 1T with the recent order issued by the gov
 rrnor that the militia should not be usC'
