The Anarchists.

The anarchists in Chicago had in
fuence enough with James r. Sow
ereign, General Master Workman of
a large secret order to induce him to
order strike of the men over whom
he cracks the whip as a despotic boss.
He enthusiastically declared that
hundred thousand men would obey
his order and step down and out, but
before his order was issued Debs the
boss of another secret order was ar
rested by United States troops in
Chicago on the 11th, and that caus
cd halt among the Sovereign
knights. Ooly $4,000 struck on
Wednesday, and the railroads run
ming west from Chicago were open
ed. The first train loaded with cat
tie for ten days arrived i'll Chicago
on the 11th. The strikers were loud
in their purpose to disregard the
proclamation of the President to not
stand about in tho streets. They al
so talked about having President
Cleveland arrested for disregarding
the United States coinage law, for
having stopped the coinage OF certain
kinds of silver coin. They also talk
ed about the impeachment of United
States Attorney General Olney for
interfering with their rioting strike
work. They also talked about bring
ing suit against the General Rail
Road Managers for having conspired
to violate United States laws. This
talk was to break the witheriDg eff
feet Or influence of the arrest of Debs
and fellow lot insurrectionist.
The anarchists were gotten we'll in
hand on the 11th in Chicago, but in
California they still held out and
ditched 2 train of United States
troops near San Francisco. Four
were killed, the engineer and three
regulars. The troops took posses
sion of the railroad property at San
Francisco which the strikers had
held two weeks.
On the 18th railroad communica-
ton was reestablished in all the
States excepting in California.
The general secretary-treasurer
of the Knights of Labor called on
President Cleveland and held an
hours interview and asked for the
appointment of an arbitration COM
mittee. The President told them if
they will GO to Chicago aud use their
influence to restore order and peace
that he will appoint a commission
under the act of 1883 to investigate
the troubles at Chicago and else
where, and to report to the Presi-
dent and Congress. The Act under
which the President will appoint the
commission was passed October l,
1883.
A striker sympathy meeting was
held in Cooper Unioo, New York.
Henry George was the speaker. He
denounced the President for the use
of Federal troops and highly prais
ed Altgelt and Stone.
Seventeen hundred more sym
pathy strikers quit work in Chicago
They were butchers, bakers. machin
lists and iron workers
The strike so affected business in
Chicago, that 10000 men were dis
charged, brick-'ayers, teamsters
boiler makers, &c.
Labor union officers invited Presi
dent Cleveland to visit Chicago anG
} meet the officers in conference ovel
the situation.
The government offered $4,000 re
ward for testimony that will lead te
the arrest and conviction of the par
ty that was concerned in wreckine

tanned the regular army troops.

ly more than half Of the supply us
