THE PULLMAN STRIKE.
American Railway Union Men May Refuse
to Handle Pullman Cars.

CHICAGO, May 12.-The second day Of
the Pullman strike opened without
promise of new developments. The
strikers gathered in kensington Turner
Hall at O'Clock, and listened TO speeches
and reports OF committees. The men
fear that the Pullman Company will use
Its Detroit and st. Louis shops to pro-
vide for emergency work.
President Howard. OF the American
Railway Union. who has taken fun charge
OF the strike at the direction Of President
Debs. last night renewed the statement
made by him several days ago to the
effect that unless a speedy settlement
were effected, it was more than probable
that the trainmen on the railways oc
which are organized branches of the
American Railway Union will refuse 10
handle any OF the Pullman rolling stock.
At the meeting of the strikers last night
Mr.. Howard urged the men not to cause
any disorder, and not to gather in knots
or lounge about the streets or drink. As
a general officer Of the Railway Union
he was merely the servant of the local
union. he said, and a strike having been
commanded by them. it became his duty
only to see that they should win, and he
was confident that they would.
