walters and cooks have all struck, and
the deputies arc forced to cook their
own meals. They are not able TO buy

everything in the eating house there
will be trouble.
The town is full Of men, oil fully arm.

the sido Of the strikers. Everything is
peaceablo as possible, but there is no

decided to stand by their agreements

that when the Receivers were appointed
by the government, and when the re-

came to their assistance, and intructed
the receivers that they must stand by
the agreements with the employees, by
which the road was operated before the
receivership, or must make new agree
ments with the mon. Therefore. these
bodies OF employees consider themselves
morally, il not legally, bound to stand
by tho company until other agreements
are made.
They resolved that their sympathies
we're with the Pullman employees, and
would do everything in their power to
help them gain their end. whick was no

NO TROUBLE IN DENVER.

Denver, July 7.-Paggart, car clean

suicide by cutting his throat to day, and
died in about two hours. Cause, brood
ing over the strike.
The Brotherhood OF Firemen on tho
Union Pacific last night by close vote
refused to strike in support of the A. r.
U. Many of the firemen are already
out, and declare they will stay by the
strikers. The first division only is af.
fected by this action.
The Rio Grande shopmen at this point
struck yesterday, also others in other
banches of the service. Nine conduc-
tors and engineers are out.
Tho operators will meet tonight and
take vote as to whether they will
stand by their agreements with the rail
roads or not. Grand Chief Powell, of
the order is expected in Denver tomor-
row.
The A. r. U. held a large meeting last
night. Telegrams were received from
Debs, saying that il tho railroads and
Pullman did not give in within forty
eight hours, every labor organization in
the country would como to their aid.
The usual collection of railroad Off
GERS and others interested were about
the Union depot this morning. A re-
porter canvassed the officials and others,
and the prevailing opinion is that the
atmosphere is much clearer than it has
been for the last week or ten days.
The sturdy Burlington rolled into the
Union depot on time, and tho Kansas
Pacific mail went out with regular
train. The Rock Island is doing fair
