The Santa Fe People VIII Try to Run

CHICAGO. June go.-After n meeting OF
tho General Managers association to-day,
General Manager Earling of the c., NJ. q
ST. +. said they proposed to pursue an ag-
gressive policy. "It was determined at
the outset" said Earling, "that VIC would
have TO fight this strike. All the roads
represented havo determined to secure
men TO take the places of those who havo
struck. New men arc being employed now
and they will be put TO work under ample
protection"
President Debs said concerning the pos.
sibilities of his arrest by order Of the
United States court: 81 anticipate no
trouble with tho courts and hardly SEQ
how can he arrested until | commit,
or cause TO DO committed some overt
net of violence against tho lines which
the courts now operate. You will
notice that Judge Caldwell says we have
n right 10 order the mon out on the Santa
Fc. lie says, however, as soon as tho
men leave the company's, or the courts,
employ they must in no way Interfere
with the running OF trains. Certainly they
will do that for they are under orders to
resort TO no violence. Judge Caldwell ad-
mits that tho men have q right TO quit
work. That Is what we contend for, and
therefore wo are satisfied with the courts
ruling. The receivers control over tho
Santa Fe Is just the same as the mana
gers power over any line. We realize tho
importance of avoiding any trouble with
the government. and we have neither .
wish nor intention TO hinder the carriage
of the mails.
"I'hc situation grows more encouraging
each day. There have been no outbreaks
thus far. and wo shall do our best to pre-
vent any. As to tho intention of the rail-
roads TO import men, | will say that all
thcy can procure will be only drop in tho
| bucket. There are too many thousand
skilled hands out to I'LL their places SO as
TO give them even half a chance to run
trains. Anyway, American sentiment 10
too strong against the men who take tho
strikers positions to permit very large
body OF workmen TO act as subs at this
time"
General Manager Robinson, of the Santa
Fc, said to an associated press reporter to-
day that his road is determined to move
its trains regularly and on time. I'VE

deputy marshals as q guard" said Robin
son. "and we intend to see that our trains
suffer no further delays. No arrests will
be made unless our men are interfercd
with. but any interference will be promptly
met by deputies
Tho deputies sent out to-day to guard
the Santa Fe were appointed under tho
new order.
An Injunction was issued to-day by
Judge William A. Woods of Indianapolis.
Amy L. Bancroft, representing the road,
communicated with Judge Woods last
night and this morning the judge tele-
graphed instructions to tho United States
circuit court. Amy Bancroft said il was
the intention of the company to start its
| trains with new men who will be hired to
take tho places Of the strikers, and deputy
marshals will be expected to protect tho
men from interference under Judge
| Woods injunction. Judge Woods lefs
indianapolis this morning for Chicago
and will be in readiness 10 enforce tho
order and issue others II necessary.
Many of tue commission houses at tho
stock yards regard the situation rs Sc
rious and have notified their clients in
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Texas
and other states not to ship stock unless
tho railroads agree TO deliver tho ship
ments and to be responsible for long de-
lays or responsible for any losses on ac-
count Of delays. The result is that the
shipments have been stopped in many
instances and the price of meat is ex.
pectcd to take rapid jump upward be-
fore long.
