Pullman Building Guarded
The Pullman building at Michigan
avenue and Adams street, the home of
the Pullman Palace Car company as well
as the headquarters of General Miles
and the department Of the Missouri, I.
> A, is under q strong guard Of armed
men, said to be Pinkerton detectives
The big building, which is one of the
most palatial and elegantly furnished in
the city, has been under guard ever
since the beginning Of the. Pullman
strike, but within the past twenty four
hours the force of detectives has been
increased three-fold At the present
time there are five or six of them at
every entrance of the building, guarding
the stairways and elevators at every
landing In addition to this they are
distributed on all the floors and in every
Office of the Pullman campany.
A stranger, especially should he be not
particularly we'll dressed, upon enter
ing the building and if he succeeds in
passing the outer guard he is stopped
every few feet by guard. They are
everywhere and seem to walk out of
every closet and room in the place.
About the office of Second Vice Presi-
dent Wickes there are at least half a
dozen of the detectives and that official
never leaves the Office unless he is ac-
companied or closely followed by one or
two Of them When questioned the men
deny that they are Pinkertons, but ad-
init they are guards employed by the

Debs and :. The Greater Strike"
President Debs said today that the in
dustries of Chicago would be completely
tied up by tomorrow morning. Mr. Debs
made this statement: "This trouble has
gone beyond my control completely and
beyond the control of the railway union.
1t is possible that the committee that
seeks to settle the trouble by arbitration
may be able to do something before
night. but / am very much in doubt
about it. 1t certainly looks if a gigan-
tic strike was to come.
$50 far as the cause of the A. r. L. is
things look brighter today
than ever. The strike is on and there is
now no violence. That is what we have
most to fear. the depredatiOns of mobs
who are really not connected with our
trouble. With so many companies of
militia here, though, there will not be
much violence. The greater strike IS
practically sure to come now. but / hope
it will be conducted peaceably and
quietly

vestigate the strike was sworn in today
by Judge Grosscup. The grand jury
which is composed Of men drawn from
the counties of the northern district of
Illinois, was instructed to make a sweep
ing inquiry into the conditions which pre-
vail III the city and the causes which
brought them about
The lengthy charge delivered by
Judge Grosscup was a strong one and
directs the grand jurors to investigate
whether an instruction against the
government exists and if so who brought
1t about The charge was listened to
with profound attention on the part of
the jurors and court room full Of spec
tatOrs.
The court addressing the jurors said:
. y Ou have been called here under excIt-
ing circumstances to discharge "A brave
duty. | trust that none of you will ask
to be excused except for the strongest
personal reasons Nevertheless 1 will
hear any excuses that may be offered
The iuK 5rs were told that they have
the right TO send for persons and papers
and books and TO apply to the district
attorney or his assistant at any time. or
to the court for instructions as to the law
The court has cautioned the grand jur-
ors to keep the proceedings of the jury
room secret and to guard against giving
information TO the newspapers
