At late hour the meeting adjourned
after having adopted the report of COM
mittee which had drafted letter TO
President Cleveland severely .criticiZing
his course during the recent strike. This
letter will be forwarded to the President
tomorrow. 1t is to be signed by PTesi-
dent Madden of the State Federation of
Labor and number of other leaders.
Only two of the men indicted by the
Federal Grand Jury gave bail in the
United States court. Most of the day was
consumed in making out bench warrants
against the men indicted. The men who
gave bail were j. j. HanahaD, vice-presi-
dent and master of the Brotherhood of
Firemen, and August Hodges, one of the
Brighton Park strikers.
The strikers overturned two loaded
stockcars in the stockyards to-day and
threw switches in front Of freight trains,
der ailing the engine. The strikers con-
I'll ne their threats against workmsn and
several small outbreaks occurred to-day,
but were quickly suppressed by the police.
The unusual sight of militia being called
to preserve order at the polls was wit
messed at Pullman to-day. At the sixth
primary district polling place of the
Thirsy-fourth Ward, located at the Pull
man engine-house, fight was waged be-
tween the factions supporting George W.
Miller and Frank Robey for nomin alton
for the Third Senatorial District. Miller's
interests at the Pullman polls were In
charge of Alderman Chadwick, while the
American Railway Union candidate.
Robey. was supported by large crowd of
the strikers. The latter claimed their man
was not having fair play and that Miller
had two of the three judges and all of the
clerks. They placed William Birkhoff at
the polls as challenger and Alderman
Chadwick demurred, claiming that Park
hoff was not a resident of the district.
This caused lively row, and for a time 1t
looked as II the crowd which had rapidly
increased would clean out the polling.
place. The police were notified and sent a
patroLwagon with Lieutenant Bassett and
eight officers to the scene. At the same
time some one sent for the troops, and two
ment. were sent on the double quick TO
the polls. The show Of force prevented
any trouble and the police drove the crowd
back.
The Pullman Laundry started to-day
with force Of forty girls, most of whom
were old employees. Men we're at work In
the shops cleaning and oiling and making
inspection, and in addition $50 applica-
tons were received from old workmen.
No more trouble occurred until o'clock
when the laundry girls quit work. When
they left the works they were surrounded
by a demonstrative mob of from 800 to
1000 women and children. Several police
men were on hand and gave them pro-
lection. No arrests were made. The
police were not accustomed to dealing with
a crowd of the feminine gender, and did
little more than keep the most turbulent
women from selling hold of the brighten ed
girls.
At o'clock fifty Hollanders, who had
been employed about the works as lumber
showers for the track-graders and repair
ers, left the work for their homes in Rose
land. They had guard of fifteen police
men, commanded by Lieutenant Bassett.
Scarcely had they reached home when 100
strikers surrounded them. The police
charged the crowd several times with a
liberal use of clubs before they dispersed.
Ia election to-day the A. R. q. delegates
TO the senatorial convention were elected
by pa to 104.
The Civic Federation of Chicago has
started n movement which its members
hope will tend toward the settlement of
the labor question and will prevent strikes
and all troubles of the kind. The plan is
TO hold a congress of representatives of
employers and employees, similar 10 the
Parliament of Religions hold in this city
last year. The representatives of these
bodies will confer and give the results of
their experiences and adopt some measures
of Cancellation which will avert strikes In
the future. A date for the proposed con-
ference has not yet been set.
MILWAUKEE, July 20.-Tbe Western
Union Telegraph Company has to produce
in court the kilograms that passed be-
tween Eugene v Debs and the railroad
strikers who are under arrest in this CITY.
Judge Seaman heard arguments on the
right of the Government to produce the
kilograms as evidence against the men,
and, Notwithstanding the very ingenious
argument of Mr.. Murphy, counsel for the
strikers, to show that such an action was
a violation OF their constitutional rights.
directed an order compelling the telegraph
company to produce the kilograms. In
obedience to the order the kilograms were
produced before Commissioners Bloodgood
this afternoon.
