| Cleveland that General Master Work
mas Sovereign had wired the Knights
not to strike is emphgtically denied by
the labor leaders. THAT telegram was
a forgery" said Secretary Simpson, "and

GENERAL sICKLEs ON THE SITUATION
WASHINGTON, July lit makes my
blood boil" remarked Gen. Sickels. to
hear of the indignities and insults heap
ed upon the soldiers sent to Chicago IN
the interest of law and order. | most
heartily endorse the action OF the
president but proclamstions and inIunc-
lions accomplish but little, and one
cause for criticism was when troops are
sent to a scene of disorder that they are
not instructed to shoot upon the COM
mission Of the first overt act. Nothing
will cause the stampede Of mob as
dose of cold lead. When mob gets the
idea that troops are sent for show and
not for action it is liable forget its self
and take advantages of the situation.
At the very first start Debs should have
been incarcerated and DO bonds accept
ed for his good behavior and no commu-
nication should have been allowed with
him. Had the head of the snakes been
cut off but little trouble would have
been had. General Miles would then
have settled the strike probably IS soou
as it had reached its head, had not his
hands been mysteriously tied. Rioting
must be tonight. taught an everlasting
