1T was determined at the outset" So d
Mr.. Earling. "that we would have to
fight thie strike. All the roads repre-
sented have determined to secure men
to take the places of those who have
struck. New men are being emp 10y ed
now and they will be put to work under
ample protection. Representatives from
the various roads we're received and con-
sidered, The Fort Wayne, Alton and
Burlington reported that come OF their
men had struck since last night. We
closed our shops at Milwaukee today

DEBs ISSUES AN ADDRESS.
President Debs has issued an address
to the railway men of America, setting
forth the cause and objects OF the prea-
ent strike. He says:
''The struggle with the Pullman COM
pany has developed into contest be-
tween the producing classes and the
money power of the country. This was
what Lincoln predicted at the close of
the war. and it was this reflection that
gave the great emancipator his gloomi-
est forebodings. We stand upon the
ground that the workingmen are enti-
tied to a just proportion OF the proceeds
Of their labor. This. Pullman denied
them.'
Continuing, he calls upon all working
mep to refrain from acts of violence,
and, in conclusion, says:
II have iaith in the great body of
railway employees of the country and
am confident they will maintain an un-
broken front, in spite of any opposition
that may be brought to bear against
them. am perfectly confident OF sue
cess. We cannot fall"
NOT AFRAID OF THE COURTS.
President Debs said concerning the
possibilities OF his arrest by order OF the
United States courts:
Il anticipate no trouble with the
courts and | hardly see how l can be
arrested until | commit or cause to be
committed some overt act OF vioence
against the lines which the courts now
operate. You will notice that Judge
Caldwell Gays that we have right to
order men out on the Santa Fe He
says, however. that as coon as the 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 ior they are under
orders to resort to no violence.
Judge Caldwell admits that the men
have wright &c quit work. That 10 what
we contend for and therefore are eatis-
fed with the courts ruling. The re-
ceivers' control over the Santa Fe is just
tho same as managers power over
any line. We realize the Importance OF
