places will be retained. In this event,
Debs and Sovereign will continue the
strike.
Tho American Federation refused to
Join in general strike and issued an
address setting forth It's reasons. This
practically kills the movement and tho
strike is,a failure to all intents and pur-
poses. The efforts OF Debs and soVer-
elgn to keep |. up will, OF course, provo

the interest OF the unions Affiliated with
the American Federation Of Labor de-
mand that they refrain from pAricipRt-
lug In any general or local strike which
may be proposed in connection with
the present railroad troubles.
In making this declaration, We do not
wish 1t understood that we arc in any
way antagoniStlc 10 labor organizations
now struggling for right or justice. but
rather to the fact that the present con.
test has become surrounded aud beset
with complications go grave IN thelF
nature that we cannot consistently
advise q course which would but add
to the general confusion. Tho public
press, ever alive TO tho interest Of cor
porate wealth, havO with few exceptions

that In tho public mind, the working
classes arc now atrAyed In open hostili-

We further recommend that all con-
nccted with tho American Federation

contemplate going out on sympathetic

The address closes with recognition

Of plutocratic power and corporations.
THE DEBATE.
The Federation conference was in $685.
sIon all day. Tho session was q hot
ono and many strong speeches wore
made on both sides OF tho resolution as
to whether tho American Federation OF
Labor should order a. general strike OF
all tho members in sympathy with tho
Pullman strikers and at the request OF
the A. X. U.
A strong speech in.tnvor Of general
strike was made by N. J. Carroll, Of the
International typographical Union.
Mcclure and Perkins spoke In tho same
iine. Mr.. Drummond spoke against 1t
and made tho point that Debs wanted
to shift tberesponsibility OF q lost strike
on the shoulders ofthe Federation. He
believed the condition OF tho country
was such that a general strikc could
not win. Mr.. Garland, Of the iron and
steel workers, said:
~ nm not IN favor with Debs' request.
He was SO very arrogant in the start,
not even recognizing US, aud now he
wants to shift all OF tho responsibility
OF on US and blanc us for losing tho
strike" d,
Patrick McBrydc. Of the miners
union spoke on tho same line, as did
Mr., Gompers.

STATE OF TRADE

remarkable in Wow OF tho Disturbances
During tho woOu.
New YoRK, July la-R G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly roviow of trade tomorrow
will say:
When circumstances aro duly
weighed, tho strength and soundncss OF
business in this country during the past
two weeks are amazing. With the sec:
ond city in tho country In tho hands oil
lawless and murderous mob. besides
many other cities and towns with rail-
way traffic almost entirely stopping
over the vast area between Toledo and
the Pacific; with tho Presidents procia-
nations declaring tho existence OF an
insurrection, aud the passionate an.
swer ordering half million mon to stop
work; with prolonged strike OF coal
minors not fully ended in many states,
and with difficulties between th house
and tho senate on tho tariff question so
wide that duties Affecting mining and
manufactures cannot be anticipated, lu-
dustries and trade have nevertheless
gone on with sublime confidence that
tho people and their government would
soon restore order. The shrinkago oil
business and the depression Of values
have been unexpectedly small, the fail
uros relatively few and unimportant,
and thero arc even signs in some indus
tries Of actual progress toward recovery
from previous troubles.
Tho output OF pig iron. which dropped
from llO,2lO tons TO G2,5l7 weekly in
MAY, because OF tho minors strike, had
only recovered to $3.50 tons OH July /.
and il is uncertain whether 1t is larger
now, for numerous western works n ave
been stopped by the railroad blockade.
The number OF failures during tho
past week has bcen 237 in the United
Siatos against SjS last yoar, and in
Canada 40 against 25 last ycar.
