Chicago. H., July 9.-Peace reigns In
Warsaw The same cannot be said of
Chicago, for the tread Of armed men
Is still heard on her streets and the
wheels of commerce still lag at the
Union. Nevertheless. the war cloud
which has overhung this city. and
this. for the past ten days. shows

at VI Is throughout the coun-
try to, ~. etches almost without
exceptioST ~ 'dvioes of strikers
returning 70 and an increased
consumption attic amounting in
some places to return to normal con-
ditions. The day In Chicago was
passed without a serious conflict be-
tween the riGters and the armed forces
now ON duty there The features OF
the day has been the action Of the
conference this morning, after an all
night session Of the federated trades
unions OF Chicago in deciding to call
out all classes Of labor on Tuesday
afternoon at o'clock unless George NJ.
Pullman should have agreed before the
meridian of that day to settle the
differences between his company and
his striking employees by arbitration or
otherwise.
Another strike Postponed.
For reasons not known to the pub
lie Grand Master Workman Sovereign
OF the Knights OF Labor and his ad-
vlsors subsequently decided 10 post
pune the general walk-out and par
alytic stroke which they propose to in
nict upon the business OF Chicago I'M
til O'Clock Wednesday morning. Late
this Afternoon, however, the announce
ment was made that President Com
pers of the Federation of Labor had
called a meeting OF the executive COM
mittee of that organization to be held
in this city on Thursday and that he
would leave New York for Chicago to-
morrow evening. In view of this. It
Is not believed that the federated
trades unions at Chicago Will take pre-
cipitated action before consultation
with him, and as President Gompers
cannot reach Chicago before Wednes-
day night II will be impossible to de-
eide ON a line Of action to be pursued
before Thursday and probably If 1t
shall finally be resolved to declare a
general strike OF all these combined
forces II could not be put into effect
before Friday morning. In this con-
whether or not II President Gompers
allows himself to be hauled from New
York to Chicago by non-union en-
gineers and firemen his visit will be Of
any particular profit one labor leader
in Chicago said today, II he did SO
he might as well stay in New York.
The Conservative Element.
Another feature to be noted In con,
ncctlon with the meeting of Chicago's
federated labor Is the fact which was
developed that there mas in the meet
