Men Return to work at Pullman.

Chicago, July 19.-The first break in
the ranks of the Pullman strikers has oc-
Cured, $50 Hollanders having been put
back t. work on the tracks back of the
Prlinan foundry. The men quit work
when the strike was declared and staid
out until now No effort was made by
the other strikers to prevent the men
from going to work.
An attempt was made to induce Debs
and the other A. r. u. men to secure
ball. but they refused, preferring to re-
main in jail
At the county Jail to-day Vice President
Howard. of the A. II. u, made the fol-
lowing remarkable statement:
This thing is going to be test case.
We don't consider ourselves bigger than
the law, and incidentally we think the
railroads are not. We are getting some
evidence for the coming legal battle, and
we consider it pretty fair grade. Here
is letter we received telling of evidence
that most of the freight car burning done
in Chicago was done by two men in the
employ of the general managers associa-
ton. One of the secret agents of a cer-
tain committee saw two men on the night
of the big fire going through the yards
with hand car loaded with inf1ammable
waste, which they lighted and systemat-
ically threw among the cars. This agent
overheard conversation between the
men from which he cleaned that they
were paid 5000 down and were to re-
ceive $500 more when the job was done.
This, understand, was before the troops
were called out An effort is now being
made to arrest these two men. We fur
ther have pretty positive evidence that
the big man who led the mob of 5000
at Blue Island was Pinkerton man cni-
ployed by the railroads, and it is signifi-
cant that although he could be easily
identified, yet he has not been arrested.
1t is safe to say that this case viii not
be entirely one-sided."
