Chicago, July 1.-THE ultimate effect
Of the appeal issued last night by Grand
Master Workman Sovereign, of the
knights of Labor, calling on all Knights
throughout the country, and those in
sympathy with them to quit work, and
the order issued about the same time
by representatives of allied labor in Chi
cago to do likewise cannot yet be GER
tainly foreseen. All that is now def
nitely known is that the Knights of
Labor at all points heard from, includ-
ing nearly all Of the large centers OF
population in the United States, re-
manned at work today with practical
unanimity. The leaders. however, say
there is nothing in the situation to
cause any encouragement Mr.. Sover-
eign is perfectly confident that by Sat-
urday next, after various local and dis
trict assemblies have had time to meet
and take formal action on his appeal,
and to rally their friends outside Of the
order the result would show one million
men idle as a consequence. The surface
indications so far. however, do not bear
out the claims of Sovereign. The gen
eral public, as well as organized labor,
Is looking forward with marked interest
to the meeting Of the executive board
of the American Federation of Labor,
and perhaps the most powerful organ
ization of its kind in the country, here
tomorrow. A new feature was injected
into the situation today, when 1t was
announced by some OF the labor leaders
that they We're ready to go before the
federal grand jury with proofs that the
General Managers Association had CON
spired to delay trains as part OF
their fight against the American Rail-
way Union, and would ask that body to
indict them Judge Grosscup said when
questioned on the subject:
Il have no doubt that when the grand
jury shall have finished the peculiar
matter 1t is now investigating, 1t win
turn its attention to others who may
have violated the law. 1t win widen
the scope Of its inquiry SO as to include
all persons who may have interfered
with, or obstructed the interstate COM
merce, or the United States malls In
any way, or by any means"
