CHICAGO, Juno 29-Tho packers at
at tho stock yards tried to induce the
strikors TO take eight trains loaded with
boof and held by them. Their refusal
to do so would result in throwing
thsuaands Of men at tho yards out Of
employment. Tho men refused and
tho traina werc returned TO tho packing
houses. Tho packers say thoy will be
afraid to sond pOrishablc freight out Of
tho yards while tho striko lasts, us thoy
fear It will become tied up on tho road,
wheto it would spoil. Tho result al.
ready is that before very long tho stock
yards business would bo paraIyzod,
whether tho railroad employees in tho
yards atriko or not. To-day two trains
OF live stock on tho Sauta Fo and tho
Illinois Central outside OF tho yards re.

union officers claim that they will have

President Debs says that within
twcnty-tour hours matters would 40
shape themselves that strike on tho
Burlington would be effective. Said
Mr.. Dcbs: ut is life or death with ono
OF tho two aides. We must kill the
managers' association, or 1t must dis
rnpt organized labor in America for
years to como. Tho trouble on the
Northwestern. spread to-day. Freight

TO ARREST DEBs AND LYNCH.
1t was reported to-day in connection
with1the general managcrs' conference
that plans had been formulated for tho
arrest, on charges of conspiracy, OF
President Debs and Organizer Lynch.
It was said that tho general managers
had been advised to arrest these men
aud havo them searched for papors, that
il found. would furnish indisputable
evidence that certain men wero amena-
BILE to the conspiracy laws.
Milwaukee & 81. Paul railroad shops
ut Milwaukee wGro shut down to-day on
an order from tho general officers OF the
company in this city. Fifteen hundred
men arc thrown out OF employment
This step was taken because many OF
the employees were dissatisfied and also
on account OF tho existence of tho gen.
oral strike. General Manager Early
gaid that the shut down was on his or
der; that the officials meant business
and would fght TO tho bitter end.
DEns' MANIFESTO.
President Deba to-day issued an ad-
dress to the railway men OF America
aettinc forth the causes and objects OF
tho present strike. In his address no
says: "The struggle with the Pullman
company has developed into a contest
between tho prosecuted classes and tho
money powers OF tho country. This was
what Lincoln predicted ct the close OF
tho var, and 1t was this reflection that
gave the great emancipator his gloomi-
est forebodings. We stand upon the
ground that workingmen arc entitled to
n just proportion of tho proceeds OF
their labor. This tho Pullman company
denied thom."
Continuing, President Dcbs calls upon
all workingmen to refrain from acts OF
violence, and in conclusion says:
''I have faith in tho great body OF
railway employees OF the country and
am confiden. they will maintain an un.
broken front in spite Of any opposition
that may be brought to boar against
them. I an perfectly conflden. OF sue
cess. Wo cannot fail.
DOES sor AGREE WITH THEM.
President Debs said to-day concern
ing the possibility of his arrest by OF
dor OF tho United States courts: II an-
ticipate no trouble with the courts and
hardly sec how I can be arrested un-
til I commit or cause to be committed
como overt act OF violence against the
lines which the courts now operate.
You will notice that Judge Caldwell
says that wo have O right to order tho
mon out on tho Santa Fe, though that
association as tho mon leave tho COM
pauies, they must in no way Interfere
with tho running OF trains. Certainly
they will do that for thoy are under or
doris to resort to. no violence"
"As to tho intention OF the railroads
to import men, I will say that all they
can procure will be only drop in the
bucket. There arc too many thousand
skilled hands out to fill their places go
as 10 givo oven half chance to run tho
trains. Anyway, tho American scnti.
ment ia too strong against men who
tako' strikers positions to permit very
large body OF workmen to act aa subs at
this time"
