statement that they will win their fight
this week.
AT Labor hall the blackboard bore
the announcement, "Grover Cleveland
has ordered Pullman to arbitrate."
One of the members of the committee
said yesterday that he would be sorry if
it became necessary to cali out the labor
organizations, but that it would be done
If the strike can not be won without.
He saw telegram from President Debs
yesterday which said that the condl-
lions are very satisfactory for success
and are growing more favorable every
hour.
The speaker was asked about the
railroad men not coming out. and stated
that there are traitors in the ranks of
the union men. While he was sure the
strike would be won. yet he would say
that in case it did not there are a great
