said Mr. Earring, that we would have
to fight this strike. All the roads rep
resented have determined to secure
men to take the places of those who
have struck. New men are being en-

work under ample protection. Repre-
sentatives from the various roads were
received and their reports considered.

I'VE closed our shops at Milwaukee

How long they will remain closed.

rumor that Pinkerton men have been
employed by the railroads to protect
property and employees"
The Rock Island road, which is about
the only one in Chicago to have es-
capped thus far, will be by tomorrow
morning tied up, it is said An order
to that effect was issued today by
President Debs.
1--WE have held off on the Rock Is

Debs, "but the time has come when we
must act. The managers of the roads
are standing shoulder to shoulder and
we must do likewise. You may rest
assured that there will be no more

will be, tied up and the Rock Island

Trains on the Rock Island have been

pebs Issues an Address.
President Debs has issued an ad-
dress to the railway men of America,
setting forth the cause and objects of
the present strike. He says:
1.-THE struggle with the Pullman COM
pany has developed into a contest be-
tween the producing classes and the
money power of the country. This was
what Lincoln predicted at the close of
the war, and it was this reflection that
gave the great emancipation his gloom
lest foTebodingS. We stand upon the
ground that the workingmen are en-
titled to just proportion of the pro
ceeds of their labor. This Pullman has
denied them
Continuing he calls upon all work
iingmen to refrain form acts of violence
and in conclusion says:
Il have faith in the great body Of
railway employees Of the country, and
am confident they will maintain an
ton that may be brought to bear
against them L am perfectly confident
OF success. We cannot fail

possibilities of his arrest by order of

The situation grows more encourag.

outbreaks, thus far, and we shall do oul
best to prevent any. As to the inten

will say that all they can procure will
be only a drop in the bucket There
are too many thousand skilled hands
