snecial to the REcoRp-UNIoS.

| CHICAGO, July lS.-Ihe hrSt break IN
the ranks of the Pullman strikers has oc-
Cured. One hundred and fifty Holland
j ers have been put to work on the tracks
back of the Pullman foundry. No effort
was made to prevent the men from going
to work.
The butchers continue returning to
work at the stockyards. The sheep
| butchers at Armour's received an ad
vance of Is cents a day in wages and four
and half days work week guaranteed
| them.
AT the American Railway Union head
quarters there was larger crowd to-day
than for several days passed. The action
of the authorities was severely criticised.
| The usual claim that the strike is still on
was made.
AT s o'clock tonight General Miles
! appended his signature to the general
order removing the Federal troops from
Chicago. The infantry will take trains
! for their respective posts, while the cav
airy and artillery will march to Fort
! Sheridan and remain there until such
! time as General Miles thinks best that
they be sent to their posts.
Tho great strike is likely TO have the
/ effect OF uniting the railways. particu-
| larly those OF the West, in closer union
! than they have ever had up to the pres
/ ent. The General Managers Association
| handled the strike in a manner so salts
/ factory to all the roads concerned that
/ they have begun to ask why the same
| spirit of harmony which enabled them 10
make such a fight in dealing with the
! strikers could not be utilized to advant-
! age in traffic matters. There is the
! strongest kind of feeling that all roads
should be concentrated in an effort to
maintain rates. and as far as possible
diminish expenses. The thing is largely
/ in the embryo state as yet, but several
schemes have already been proposed, the
principal one of which is that all the
roads west of the Missouri river shall be
| formed in an association similar to the
| Western Passenger Association, but at
! the same time entirely independent of
that body, but working in harmony with
! it. This would mean that the Union Pa
! cific and the Southern Pacific would be
| members of the association west OF the
river, while the Atchison would be a
member OF both associations.
Debs, Howard, Keliher and Rodgers
were in the best of spirits to-day after
their nights experience in Jail. Before
| ii O'Clock, after breakfast, which he OBJ
| tanned from neighboring hotel. Debs
| came down from his cell to meet Stenog-
rapner Benedict of the American Rail-
way Union, who had a bundle of mail
tor him.
II had the best nights sleep 1 have
had in month or more." said Debs.
| Nothing disturbed me, not even the
| ghost of that man hanged the other day.
l have absolutely nothing to add to what
/ have already said concerning our ar
rests, We are here and will stay here
until next Monday at least" President
Debs then fell to looking over his mail.
| Secretary Keliher, while awaiting his
| turn in the barber's chair, said: 1--WE are
enjoying this respite from work"
| At the County Jail to-day Vice-Presi-
| dent Howard of the American Railway
Union made the following 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.
There is letter telling of evidence that
most of the freight-car burning III Chi
cago was done by two men in the employ
! OF the General Managers Association.
| The secret agents OF certain company
| saw two men going through the yards
with hand car loaded with infammable
waste, which they lighted and systematic
/ ally threw among the cars. This agent
| overheard a conversation between them,
from which he CLEANED they were paid 500
| down and were TO receive $500 more when
the job was done. This understanding
was before the troops were called out.
/ An effort is now being made to arrest
! those two men.
I've further have pretty positive evil
! dence that the big man who led mob of
| 5000 at Blue Island was Pinkerton man
employed by the railroads, and it is sig
nificant, although he could be easily
! identified, that he has not been arrested.
| 1t is safe to say this case will not be en-
! tirely one-sided."

! CHICAGO, July Is. = Vice. President
Wickes said to-day that the works at
