DEBS' DAILY BOW.

Chicago, July 10.-President DebS,
when seen by an Associated Press re-
porter said: The action Of the al
lied trades of this city will, | am con-
fident, be followed in other cities.
This is now battle for the preserva-
ton of union principles and labor will
rise enmasse to help itself. We are
stronger than ever and nothing can
break our forces but usur-
patton and tyranny. The
United States authorities are bringing
themselves into trouble by their wan
ton violation Of the laws and consti-
tunon. The principle of slavery is
what capital is now insisting upon.
We are not responsible for the law1esS
elements acts and for the loss of
property. Not even disciplined armies
wCulG ever be able to prevent this
element from rising. We ask the pub
lie tc be patient while labor stands
with its back at the door that leads
to serfdom and says to its oppressors
thus far and no farther "

amounting i'll some places to a return
to normal conditions
The day IN Chicago passed without
a serious conflict between the rioters
and armed forces now on duty here.
The feature Of the day was the action
OF the Federated Trades Unions of
Chicago in deciding to call out all
classes Of labor Tuesday afternoon
unless George NJ. Pullman agreed be-
fore that to d settlement OF the trouble
by arbitration OF otherwise. 1t is not
believed, however, that the federated
trades will take such precipitate ac-
ton before consultation with Presi-
dent Gompers, who will be here
Wednesday night.
What effect, if any, the action Of
L
man company, in refusing even to
meet d committee TO consider the ques
ton of arbitra tion will have upon the
final decision Of the labor leaders, re.
mains to be seen.
Touching the situation in general, it
may be said that in Chicago the roads
are all doing better than on any pre-
ViOus day since the strike began. Pas
Senger trains are moving with more
or less regularity and some freight
traffic is cared for. At st. Louis Kan
sas City and Denver it is reported that
railroad business has about returned
to normal conditions. Nashville, also,
reported an improvement.
About the only points at which the
strike managers showed any gain was
in the partial walk out of the firemen
at Fort Scott, Kansas; of the freight
men on the Kanawha and Michigan
at Charleston, w. Va, and the strike
of the A. II. U. men Oh the Big Four,

fEsy Played big Fart in Fixing the
Fourth OF July.
Jefferson was fond of telling n
story which illustrates in forceable
manner the Importance that absurdly
Insignificant matters may sometimes
assume. When the deiiberative body
that gave 80 the world the Declara-
tion of Independence was in session
its proceedings were conducted in a
hall close TO which was situated a liv-
cry stable. The weather was warm,
and from the stable came swarms of
flies that lighted on the lers of the
honorable members, and, biting
through the silk stockings then in
fashion, gave infinite annoyance. 1t
was no uncommon sight, said Jeffer-
son, to see member making a speech
with large handkerchief in hand
and pausing at every moment TO
thrash the flies from his thinly pro-
tected calves.
The opinion of the body was not
unanimous in favor of the document,
and, under other circumstances, dis
cussion might have been protracted
for days if not weeks but the flies
were intolera0le. Efforts were ma le
to find another ball free from the
pests, but in vain. As the weather
became warmer the dies grew worse,
and the tapping of handkerchiefs
was heard all over the hail as an ac-
compartment to the voices of the
speakers. In despair. at last some
one suggested that matters b, hur-
ried so that the body might adjourn
and get away from the flies. There
were q few mild protests, but no one
needed them, the immortal decara-
ton was hurriedly copied, and, with
handkarchiefs in hand lighting flies
as they came, the members fastened
up to the table to sign the authentic
copy and leave the flies in the lurch.
Had it not been for the livery stable
and its contents there is no telling
when the document would have been
completed, but it certainly would not
have been signed on the Fourth.
