Attorneys For Strike Leaders Appear in

Attorneys Fer Strike Leaders Appear in
Federal Court at Chicago,
CHICAGO, July 23.-An answer has
been fled by the attorneys for the Off
GERS of the American Railway union, in
the contempt proceedings in the United
States court, growing out of the alleged
violation of the federal injunction
against interference with the mails and
interstate commerce. The answer,
which was formulated by Attorneys W.
w. Erwin Of ST. Paul, and S. s. Greg
ory of Chicago, is very lengthy and de-
nies nearly every material allegation of
the complaint, including the sending of
the kilograms in evidence Among the
matters denied is that any Of the mem
bers Of the A. R. u committed any of
the acts of violence complained of.
This, as most of the other denials is
made "upon information and belief"
What the Defense Proposes.
The defense proposes to carry the case
to the supreme court of the United
States in the event of an adverse decis-
ion here, and if defeated there to appeal
through congress to the people. The
policy of the defense will be to question
the right and power of the court to issue
injunctions like that obtained by the
railway companies against Debs and his
associates, and then imprison those en-
joined if the injunction be violated It
will be contended that what the court
has done amounts to
Usurpation of Power
not given to the federal judiciary by
either the constitution or law. The de-
fense will follow closely the lines of the
report of the Boatner committee Of con-
gress which investigated the injunction
and contempt proceedings by Judge
Jenkins.
After the reading of the information
against the prisoners by the district at
torney and the hearing of the answer as
read by the defendants lawyer, At.
torney Erwin moved formally that the
defendants be dismissed Mr. Erwin
was followed by Attorney Gregory, also
for the Defense and Mr.. Walker for the
prosecution. At the conclusion of Mr..
Walkers argument court adjourned and
in the morning Attorney John S. Miller,
who represents the Santa Fe, will speak
for the prosecution.

APPEALS TO PUBLIC.
A. r. U. OFFICIALS ISSUE AN ADDRESS
TO THE PEORLE,

Asking Them to Refrain From Riding In
Pullman Cars. and Thus Lend Aid In
Crushing the Palace Car Magnate-''No
Surrender" Still the Cry of the Leaders.
CHICAGO, July 2S.-Messrs Debs,
Howard, Keliher and Rogers, the Amer
icon Railway union officials, have issued
an address to the public, the substance
of which is as follows;
1t is almost universally conceded that
the Pullman company, through oft re-
peated reductions of wages, excessive
rents and many other causes, has griev.
ously wronged its employees, and what
ever may be said about the great rail
road strike which resulted in conse-
quence of such grievances, the arbitrary
refusal of the Pullman company te sub
NIT to arbitration in any form, even to
decide the question if there was any
thing to arbitrate, is proof positive that
said company had no faith in the
Justice of Its Cause
and fears the disclosures that are GER
tain to result from an honest investi-
cation and in view of heavy losses en-
tailed upon the country such obstiEacy
on the part of the Pullman company is
deserving of the severest condemnation.
We propose that the Pullman company
shall be brought to justice and this in a
way that will not necessitate a strike,
with its attendant ills. We have faith
in the American people; they uphold
justice; they love fair play. And now
in the name of justice and fair play we
appeal to the great American public, to
every good man and every good woman
not to ride in Pullman car until the
Pullman company does justice to its
employees. Let the cars run absolutely
empty. No friend of labor, no friend of
humanity, will
Occupy Seat or a Berth
in Pullman car Let this policy be in
augurated and we will see how long the
railway companies will be bound by
their contracts, as they have induced
the public to believe, to haul Pullman
cars.
We propose to continue this fight
against the Pullman company through
good and evil report, and without re-
gard to consequences, until justice shall
be done There will be no surrender.
We will use every available and lawful
means to push the contest. 1t is re-
quested that all papers throughout the
land, favorable to labor, to justice, to
humanity, copy this statement in full
and keep it standing as long as possible
The address is signed by Debs, How
ard, Keliher and Rogers.
