General Managers Will Fight to the
Bitter End.
CHICAGO. June 3O.-The General Man
ayers Association to-day issued the fol-
lowing statement regarding the strike:
The strike embarrasses the freight traffic Of
the West TO the most serious extent OF any
strike since the Eastern labor troubles of 1877
and 1878. The companies have no idea of
entering into compromise wi the strikers
on any basis whatever. The railroad compa-
nes fall to see the justice of the position taken
by the American Railway Union in fighting Mr..
Pullman over the heads OF the railroad COM
panes, who have no control over Mr.. Pull
mans movements or his manufacturing busi
ness. The men who are now on strike are con-
sidered as men who have resigned their post
tions and are not anxious to work. ANY men
who desire employment under the railroad
companies centering In Chicago and are
competent will be furnished positions and
will be afforded all the protection that
lies in he power OF the companies, the police
OF the city OF Chicago. the Sheriff OF the county
and the State military. Men are now being
hired in the East and brought to Chicago to
take The places OF those who will not work. 1t
is charged by the A. r. U. that the General
Managers Association is importing men from
Canada. This statement Is absolutely false
The railroad companies do not propose 10 en-
llOy any men 10 take The places OF the men low
on strike unless such men are American ciIi-
zens, and whoever We can find who wants to
work, TO taN Q The place of man who will not
work, whether the substitute comes from New
York or California, we propose TO give him a
Job and see that he Is protected.
At a meeting at Ulrich's Hall this after
noon, attended by members of the Ameri-
can Railway Union and members of the
American Federation of Labor, resolutions
were adopted pledging the latter orgapiza-
tion to aid in the present strike. The
Brotherhoods of Locomotive Engineers
and Fremsn. Conductors, Trainmen and
Telegraphers were asked to give their
assistance. Attorney General Olney was
condemned for his action in reference to
the hauling of trains carrying mails as be-
yond the province of his office. The rail-
roads were condemned for refusing 10 haul
mail-cars when detached from Pullman
cars. and a committee was appointed to
ask Governor Altgeld to revoke the char
ters of such roads on the ground that they
were obstructing.the mails.
Upited States Marshal Arnold received
the following reply this afternoon from
Attorney-General Olney to the telegram
sent by the Marshal in the morning.
You are authorized to employ sufficient
deputies TO prevent the obstruction of mails
and to arrest all persons who may attempt such
obstruction.
1.-The amount of it all s,' said the Mar
shal. that the time has come for the
Government to take hand on all the roads
and not on one simply because it is in the
hands OF receivers. The mails must be
allowed TO run. l will appoint as many
deputies as are necessary"
The Marshal swore in fifty more deputies
to-day for the Sante Fe. This makes over
100 Federal officers on duty at the depot and
in the yards of that company. No arrests
have yet been made by the Deputy
Marshals, and no attempt has been made
to interfere with the Sante Fe at points at
which the United States Marshals are on
duty.
