on of the 4. II. u. Strike.


CHICAGO, July l3--President Debs de-
clared off the strike of the American
Railway Union at . 80 \. NJ. today.
He Immediately proceeded to the head

the Pullman shops. still out

at the Revere House. and for a half
hour the strike leaders were in close
conference.
When the doors of the council chamber
were unlocked Mr.. Debs announced
calmly that he had officially declared the
strike off, but asserted that he would
make no statement until after visit
to the General Managers.
1t was generally understood. however,
that the conference of tic Federation of
Labor gave no promise Of material aid
In settling the strike, and that, with the
assurances from Washington that Gov
eminent arbitration would be enforced,
was the cause of the unexpected action
OH the part of the strike managers.
After President Debs had made the
announcement at the A. r. T. headquar-
ters, he Immediately left his Office to
call upon the General Managers Asso-
citation.
He said he would submit a PROPOSE
ton asking them to take back all strik-
ing employees.
Before seeing the General Managers,
Mr.. Debs declined TO make any state
ment as to his reasons for calling off
the strike.
An Associated Press Fan saw ]. II.
Sovereign at 10 o'clock. Said he:
THE papers to call the strike off were
drawn UP yesterday. They contained
two provisions. first. that there should
be arbitration. and second. that all
striking employees except those charged
with crime should be taken back by the
employers.
II have not seen Debs this morning
| but as arbitration has been secured. and

Debs has done just right. AS soon as
I see him I shall issue all order calling

SURPRISE IN THIS CITY.
Labor Men Think the Call for Arbi-
tration Caused Dcbs's Action.

The news that President Debs had de
clared the strike off was big surprise
to labor men generally I'm this city. Va
rious theories were assigned for the
cause but the one most generally ac-
cepted was that the calling off was really
due to the success of the General Execu-
tive Board of the knights of Labor in
prevailing on President Cleveland to APP
point an arbitration commission.
1.-The strike has gone the way of all
the Others" said Ernest Bohnl, Secretary
of the Central Labor Federation. land
1t is impossible to estimate the effect
1t will have on labor circles generally.
I'm my opinion 1t will open the eyes
of the workngmsn and show them that
so far as strikes are concerned nothing
can be gained by trades unionism. 1t
points to the first remedy which the So
calists have been claiming all along.
Let strikes alone. and do all the fight
ing at the ballot-boX. Until proper labor
men are sert to Congress and State
Legislatures nothing can be accom-
plished.
1.-The calling Off OF the strike by Presi-
dent Debs has saved Gompers from a
Waterloo. He started for Chicago to set
tie the strike and on arriving there found
he could settle nothing They had him
in such a tight place that he was ac-
tually cornered. Had he been forced into
calling a general strike disaster would
have followed lie could have called out
nothing. Doubtless President Debs had
good reason for the calling of. ="

Many persons bought papers. read the

about the doors that passers-by had to

NO STRIKE IN JERSEY.
Railroad Men There Make Some
Common Sense observations.

Railroad officials and employees at
the various terminals in Jersey city
seemed to agree this morning that the
strike was practically over. The SUI
pcrintendents of the Erie, Pennsylva-
MIA. Jersey Central, Lehiyh Valley and
Baltimore and ohio roads declared that
the American Hallway Union had suf-
tered defeat from which 1t would take
long time to recover. Division Grand
Master Patrick Doyle. of the Brother
hood OF Locomotive Engineers of the
Jersey Central road, denounced Mr..
Pullman aud his advisers for refusing
to submit the causes that led 10 the
strike to arbitration.
Title sympathy of the laborlng class
throughout the country Is with the men
on strike, but | think we would be
foolish TO 60 out here In the East, as we
have no grievances" said Mr.. Doyle.
James Moloney. Division Grand Mas
ter OF the Brotherhood OF Firemen, of
the Pennsylvania road. voiced the same
sentiments. He said:
You may rest assured that there will
not be strike OF the railroad men In
the East here. We have no cause OF
complaint. IT would be insanity to
throw up good positions now for no
cause"
Arc there many knights OF Labor
among you?' he was asked.
II do not believe that there are q
dozen members of that organization on
all the lines running into Jersey city

CHICAGO, July l3.--1n the course OF
an interview. shortly after midnight.
Samuel Gompcrs. President Of the
American Federation of Labor. reverting
to the cause and effect of the present
crisis. said:
II doubt whether the action OF the
Committee on Arbitration to be appoint
ed by President Cleveland will mater

originally, because | do not see how 1t
has anything to do with the Interstate
Commerce law.
MY understanding is that the O'Neill
law can on;y take effect when the Com
merce law is violated"
lie thus left the Impression that the
arbitration would be of no force. because
the Pullman strike did not come under
the law OF arbitration, and therefore the
only means of obtaining settlement
would be by carrying on the strike.
In passing his comments o, rno-al Ia W,
strike legislation and historical prece-
dents, Mr. Gompers referred to the set
Element of the great miners strike in
