president fCGan Says That the Govern
mcni Must Use n strong Hand.

Chicago, H., July Il o'clock a. m.-(Spe-
al.)-Editor Constitution: We have now
got to the point in this desperate and law
less 25ht against the United States govern
irent where train can go in or out OF
Chicago unless under the protection of the
armed authority.
only two roads making any pretense
OF operating. They are the Northwestern
and Chicago, Milwaukee snd st. Paul roads
Troops are not guarding trains on these
lines, but hundreds of special officers ard
United States deputies trying to pro-
tect the trains.
1t is bad TO use force in the settlement
of such troubles, but we have reached the
point where none but violent measures
produce q better condition of affairs. This
thing must come to al end. The govern
ment is being openly dened, the commerce
Of the country ruined and the tempor;zlng
that has been INDUCED in has began TO
make thousands of laWless men believe that
the powers OF the city, county state and
government are, more less, in sympathy
with their cause.
"A The warnings OF the public press are ut
" arly disreg4rled. The strikers win lot &C.
cepC the statements true that they are
lighting the government, ana while the
leaders OF this movement profess that Trey
are not il favor Of violence, the 'stro1'G I'M
der current of sympathy with the IaWlesS
methods now being employed, SScs out
from the strikers headquarters
The rioters arc given to understand that
all the influences Of labor VIII he fought
to bear to protect them i theY ale or
rested Tor disobeying the injuncttonS OF the
United States, or for the destruction OF 1a'i-
road property. In this way thou&a1d" OF
men have become leagucd together in this
assault the industries of the country.
The railroads do more than they
have done. It the United Stafes can alI01d
10 see the entire business of the toIT try
prostrated by the orders of such an ego
tistical ass d. Debs, l presume the 1ail-
ROADS will have to put UP with
it. Debs is q, sample of esotisln
run mad. This thing can be .quelched by
a strong hand, but quipblms over legal
tecnnicalities and harbreadth definitions OF
the constitutional rights OF the citizens Will
not ease UP matters in the slightest
/ must say that the action Of the troops
in firing uDon the strikers at Forty-seventh
street is a move in the right direction,
though l deplore its necessity. / DO not
know the result of the Voiley, as there
have been conflicting reports about the
number OF dead and wounded, but the mere
act Of resenting the desperate assault Will
nave a salutary effect on the mobs, which
are bent upon destroying all the railroad
property in Chicago. If these fellows once
learn that their acts OF violence will be
ret with bullets, the end of the strike Will
then not be very far off.
