A Brighter Outlook.
CHICAGO, July 17.-Railway mana
gers declared Sunday that the strike
was thing of the past. They claim
to have many of their old men back at
work and are rapidly supplying the
places of others. Trains are running
with something of old time regularity.
Freight is being moved but the con-
gestion is not ended. Trades union
men called out to support the strike
have mostly resumed work. Uncle
Sans troops are still encamped on the
lake front.
kilograms from other railroad CEN
tiers are more emphatic than ever be-
fore to the effect that the American
Railway union strike is at an end
outside Chicago. From Detroit, To-
ledo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and
nthe points the news is much
. the same effect - that most
of the railroads are running freight
and passenger trains on sched-
ule time, that men who deserted their
posts at the order to strike are
applicants for unemployment; that
new men are plentiful enough to
supply the needs of the railway
managers and that some Of the roads
emphatically refuse to reinstate
former employees who deserted at the
dictates of the union.
Managers Quit.
Saturday the General Managers as
ISOLATION adjourned sine die. Recog-
MIXING that the railroad strike was
virtually ended, the members felt that
there was no further need for their
daily meetings.
Before the meeting Chairman st.
John and Strike Manager Egan both
reiterated the statement that the Gen
.eral Managers association would not
recognize Mr.. Debs or any of his assoc
ciates in the settlement Of the strike
1t was also said emphatically that
none of the old brotherhoods was in
volved in the settlement of the strike.
Leaders Confer.
At a conference held at the Re-
we're house on Saturday, at which
President Debs, Vice President How
ard, Secretary Keliher and Di-
rector Rogers, of the American
Railway union, General Master Work
man Sovereign, of the Knight Of
Labor, and Grand Chief Stephenson
and Secretary Rodemos, of the Ma
tional Brotherhood of Railway Car
men, were present, it was agreed
that the Knights of Labor in
Chicago and other points in the
west where there is trouble
with the railroads will be called
out. Knights of Labor at other places
will remain at work and will contrib
ute their moral and financial support
to the strikers. When the meeting
had adjourned it was announced that
the leaders, in addition to ordering
strike of some Knights of Labor, had
decided to call out all carmen and track
men; to appoint a number of adj
.ditional managers of the strike; to APP
pealstoS Chief Arthur to forbid members
of the Engineers brotherhood work
ing with non-union men, and to push
the strike and boycott more vigorous
.ly than, ever.
