treatment which President Debs' prop

THE ELECTROLIER

EIectrolier is a word that has found
place int he business world, and
even in some dictionaries, though the
great public, with the characteristic
conservatism that held on to "chan-
delier'' after oil and gas had dis
placed candles, still refuses to adopt
the new word. AS to the thing itself,
it is a puzzle to decorators, since there
is a genuine difficulty in producing
just the right form so long as people
demand a double instru-
ment that can furnish gas when the
electric current fails to run.

wait until they had officially acted on
the proposition before the labor peo-
pie did anything. The Knights of
Labor representatives agreed TO
stand by the union to the end.
At the close of the meeting Presi
dent Debs said that the union had
made its last overtures to the general
managers If the present proposition
was ignored or rejected the strike
would be continued with renewed
vigor until the railroad people give in.
The burden of further trouble and
loss must rest on the shoulders of
The railways. Mr. Debs added that
there had been no relaxation Of the
strike, but if an affirmative answer
came from the general managers the
strike would end Immediately. He in
umated that the union had reserve
forces which it could call into action.

DEBS MAKES OVERTURES.

Chicago, July Inn. Eugene V
Debs arose early yesterday morning
and called his executive officers to-
gether at Uhlich hall They held a
close conference for something like
half an hour and about $50 Mr.. Debs
appeared and said: In view of the
enormous proportions which this
strike has assumed and the tremen-
dous damage to public and private in
terests, we will today submit propo-
sition to the general managers asso-
citation declaring the strike off on con-
diLOn that they reinstate our men,"
The proposition referred to was for
mulated last night in conference be-
tween Debs, Sovereign and Gompers,
and it was agreed that in case the gen
eral managers refused to meet the
wishes of President Debs, Gompers
should call out the National Fedora,
ton Of Labor throughout the country.
The proposition has two conditions:
First-That arbitration as proposed
by President Cleveland be entered
upon.
Second-ThaU all the striking en-
ployes except those who have been
guilty of criminal misconduct shall
be restored to their positions without
prejudice by the railroad companies.
After Debs had made this startling
statement, he was asked what would
be the effect in case the general man
ayers refused to reinState the men.
He said he though the strike was prac
tically ended and regarded it as a
great triumph for labor After d
pause he added: The strike will set
tie back then to the original grievance
between Pullman and his employees.
President Debs left Ulrichs hall to
call upon the mayO-. On his way he
met Sovereign and Howard and they
accompanied him. At the mayors
Office they held conference for about
fifteen minutes. At it's conclusion
Mayor Hopkins said: These gentle.
men came to me with a proposition to
call the strike off if the general man
ayers association will agree to take
back all employees who had not been
arrested for any ofense against the
law They asked me to 60 with them
