city council week ago and they arranged

four of the city council at l o'clock this
afternoon and after II full discussion the
council committee was Informed by the
labor committee that unless the Pullman
company agreed to arbitration tomorrow
night all organized labor in Cook county
would quit work Tuesday night. The
chairman of the city council committee
suggested that committee of five prom
inent business men be invited to visit tho
Pullman company, not as arbitrators, but
to determine if the Pullman company had
anything to arbitrate. 1t was also sug-
gested that committee be appointed to
consist of two officials of the Pullman
company, and the two prominent citizens
be appointed by the judges of Cook
county, and fifth to be chosen by the
four.
The committee representing the labor
men appointed subcommittee of three
and they with the council committee met
at once to confer with Vice President
Wickes, of the Pullman company, to see
what he would submit to the proposed
committee of five.
SOVEREIGN COMMENTS ON THE SITUATION.
Grand Master Workman Sovereign said
this morning: Il do not consider it i'm
possible that the tremendous importance
force Geo. NJ. Pullman and the railroads
to meet the A. R. U. half way in meas
ure for a settlement. 1t is high time
that public sentiment should move cor
poratIons to arbitration. Debs has all
along evinced a willingness for arbitra-
tion, and the General Managers assoca-
tion should assume that matter too.
As soon as the result of the conference
between Mayor Hopkins and the Union
committee is known then We will take up
the question of calling out the Knights of
Labor. feel that the Union men did
the right thing last night. The minute
the presidents proclamation was issued
knew there could be but one event, the
strike order, and l am glad of it,"
CITY TRANSPORTATION LINES.
Besides all these an effort will be mado
to get out the employees of all surface and
elevated transportation lines in the city.
Although these men are poorly organized
the leaders of the great strike believe the
ma ority of them can be induced to como
out.
REEF EATERS wAKt ACTION.
The stock yards and packing house Off
cials went into consultation early to-day
to arrange for sufficient protection to
run the stock trains in and out of the
yards. The receipts to-day were eleven
sheep and lambs and twenty-five beef
cattle. The yards were quiet this morn
ing, but officials generally felt that the
crisis would be reached to-day.
AP PEACEFUL DAY.
The Chicago G. Erie railroad officials
reported Hammond as very quiet to-day.
An Erie train went through town at G;30
a. IN. without trouble and Indications are
good for peaceful day.
ALL ROADS MOVING TRAINS.
President Egan, of the General Mana
gers association, said to-day that every
road III Chicago, without exception, was
moving trains and most of them on time.
Several freight trains are said to have
departed this morning.
END OF R1oTING IN CHICAGO.
Everything at 1915 is quiet here and
the feeling grows that there will be no
more serious rioting. The roads are all
moving passenger trains and number
are starting freights. IT is quite clear
that the mobs yesterday were composed
chiefly of idlers from the packing houses
and very few railroad men took part.
President Clevelsnd's proclamation and
the order of President Debs to his follow
ers to avoid any lawliness seem to have
been very effective.
MILITIA FIRE ON A MOB.
At an early hour this morning some
boys and idle men gathered at the 49th
street crossing of the Grand Trunk road
and threw stones at squad of state mill
tia stationed at that point. The latter
first made charge upon the mob. Then
on renewal of the stone throwing fired
volley into the crowd. The crowd es-
capped in the adjoining houses and it is
not learned whether any one was hurt or
not.
STOCK YARDS STILL DEAD.
Little work was done in the stock yards
to-day. John d. Sherman announced
that no attempt would be made for few
days to resume work. Armour & Co.
sent 100000 pounds of dressed beef be.
fore daylight this morning to the city
markets. 1t was shipped in wagons
guarded by yard employees. The commits
sion men of the yards are organized for
the defense of the property inside the
yards and the protection of outside prop
erty will be delegated to special police
officers.
