THE CITY HALL.
Some Figures rs to the Present Municipal,
Ht adquarters.

Some Figures rs to the Present Municipal,
Headquarters.
So many inquiries have been made
of The ARGUS as to the city's present
arrangement as to quarters in view
of the city hall agitation that an
ARGUS representative sought from p.
l.. Mitchell. the present owner of the
building, this morning statement of
the matter.
The armorny building at present
occupied by the city," said Mr..
Mitchell, '.was erected by the Rod
man Rifle company expressly for the
city; that is to say, the plans were
approved of by the city, it agreeing
to occupy SO much of it, and the
Rifles issued bonds for the money
necessary to erect the building
" hen the bonds became due the com
pany was unable to meet them, and
the building was bought in by me rs
one of the bond holders. The origi-
nal rent was $500 per annum, which
was paid the first five years, but at
the expiration of that lease l reduced
the rent to 800, the terms being
that the city should keep the build
ing in repair, while ! was to keep up
the general outside repairs. The
present lease expires May l, few
DAYS hence.
MY proposition on the terms of
turning over the building to the city
is on the basis of $500 at 6 per
cent. The city pays me $1,000 per
annum rental for 10 years and at the
end of that time owns the property
In short it becomes the practical
owner forthwith"
The Building to he Reprinted.
When asked if for larger consid-
Grafton he would put the building in
better condition to meet the city's
wants and requirements, Mr.. Mitchell
said he would have to know what the
city's needs were first. ..As far as
the outside is concerned" he re-
piled. Il let the contract this morn
ing to the Adams Wall Paper COM
pany to repaint the exterior entirely.

BIG -FOUR TIED UP.
Canton 81 Southern ana Erie Men
Also Go Out


Also Go Out.
Cleveland, July. 6.-The Big Four men
went out this morning and the road is
tied up completely. The members of
the American Railway union were in
session all night and it is reported they
decided to tie up all roads running into
the city today. Committees have been
sent out to notify the crews on the
Lake Shore, Nickel Plate, Erie and
other roads, of the action of the meet
ing
The Canton & Southern, as well as
the Big Four road, is completely tied
UP. At o'clock the Lake Shore men
struck. Out of forty-eight yard crews
and engines on that road only one
engine was working and the men said
they had not been notified. One or two
passenger trains arrived and departed,
but as long as freight trains were being
constantly pulled into the yards and
deserted on the main tracks it seemed
probable that a blockade would soon
result. The Cleveland and Pittsburg
men promptly stopped work when
notified to do so by the committee, and
at $3.50 only one crew out of thirty was
at work.
The strikers are exclusively switch
men and the passenger trains only will
be affected by the freight blockade.
The engineers, fremen and trainmen
will not go on strike. The trainmen
say they will not, perform any of the
duties of the switchmen. Assistant
United States Attorney A. B. Brine
said: 81 have received instructions
from the attorney-general to file bill
praying for an injunction if it is abso-
lutely necessary"
At 9 o'clock all the switchmen of the
Erie yards deserted their posts. The
freight trains were left standing on the
main tracks and threatened to block
ala traffic The valley (B. and o.
switchmen also went out and the yards
of that road are practically dead. The
Nickel Plate men received no notices
and were working. The Nickel Plate
has abandoned the passenger trains for
the west in consequence of the tie-up
on the western road.

Chicago, July 6-President Debs has is
sued the following proclamation:
'''To all striking employees:-In view of
the report OF disturbances in various To-
calities, deem it my duty to caution you
against being a party to any violation of
law, municipal, state or national, during
the existing difficulties.
We have repeatedly declared that We
respect law and order and our conduct
must conform to our profession. a man
who commits violence in any form,
whether & member of our order or not
should be promptly arrested and punished,
and we should be the first to apprehend

should be made to pay the penalty of the

and law-abiding. Our cause is just, the
great public is with US and we have moth

IS TO remain away entirely from places
where there is any likelihood of being an
outbreak.
The railroad managers have sought
to make it appear that their trains do
not move because Of the interference of
the strikers. The statement is an un-
qualified falsehood, and no one knows this

MOST CRITICAL PERIOD.
Defeat Now Means a Body Blow TO
UniOnism.

Unionism.
Chicago, July 6.-Grand Master
Workman Sovereign, of the Knights
of Labor arrived in Chicago today
from Des Moines. He said he had
come to Chicago to render what as
Sistance he could to the A r. u, and
should do whatever the officers of that
organization might determine would
best serve the interests of the strike
He thought the ultimatum of the move
ment was important and every labor
organization should put its best blows
to win the strike. He added:
This is the most critical period in
the history of uniOnism in America. 1t
is the time for every labor leader 70
rally his forces and join in the strug-
gle for existence. This will practically
be battle for self-protection and for
future life for every workingmen's
body in the country. No one can over
estimate the Importance of winning
this conflict. Defeat will mean not a
Temporary setback, but a permanent
and everlasting disadvantage to organ
izations among working people of the
land. That is why L am here today.
That is why I will do whatever the
A r. U. thinks best as regards the
ordering of a strike.
LAS regards a walk-out on the part
OF the members OF all trades unions
in the city, 1 will say that 1 think it
might bring about great good. Ger
tainly it would force upon the people
stronger realization of the neces-
sity of the settlement of these strug-
giles and the populace would rise en-
masse in a demand for arbitration.
Arbitration the laboring man is not
afraid Of The capitalist, though, will
not accede to it. Mr.. Debs stands
ready to act for a reasonable settle
ment. The general managers do not.
Public sentiment will force the latter
to change their tune

X. of l.. Go Out.

Denver, July 6.-The knights of La
Dor of this city today telegraphed Cor
bin, who is at Cheyenne, to give in
structions to the members of the order
in this district to strike. They were
instructed by Sovereign to await the
action of the federation of labor. This
request was made because in the shops
of the Union Pacific, which have been
running on half time, notice was given
that the works would be shut down
entirely until further notice.
1t is stated tonight that the f1remen of
the Rio Grande road sent telegram to
their representative at Cheyenne today
that unless orders were issued for them
to strike by 10 o'clock tomorrow Alorn-
ing, they would go out without or

Crave Things Denend on 1t.

Denver July cit is stated on relia-
BILE authority that grave things depend
upon the action of the Federation of
Labor now in session at Cheyenne,
Wyo. The Federation of Labor is hold
ing a conference, at which it will be
decided what action shall be taken in
connection with the American Railway
union. If the federation shall decide
against the American Railway union,
all railway organizations on all roads
entering Denver will, it is said, not
strike, but endeavor to bring about the
downfall of the strike, and its instiga-
tors. The reason assigned for this ac
ton, is that the miraculous growth of
the organization since the beginning of
it's existence, about a year ago, and
it's probable growth if successful, con
stitute a menace to every other organic
alton of railway men, and they propose
to fight for their own existence.

Illinois Cranky Governor TO Be Civ

Washington, July at the cabinet
meeting. today, the entire situation was
carefully gone over in the light Of recent
developments and particularly of the
correspondence between the president and
Governor Altgeld.
AS a result, it is believed there is now
d strong disposition to afford the gov
ernor ample opportunity to make good his
claim of entire ability to cope with the
present difficulty in his state.
Not that the regular troops will be re-
tired from the field, for they will still con-

with the Gsorderly mobs outside OF the
railroad tracks and government property,
and the regulars, probably viii be kapt
in waiting TO respond to any cali to aid
them.
The situation in the far west and es-
pecially on the Pacific coast is slill q
matter OF grave concern to the executive.
Applications have come for relief from the
complete blockade at sacramento, but
the way is not yet clear to help The
militia seemed to have proved almCs
worthless, tainted by sympathy for tie
the performance of their duty. The only
available troops are at the Presfdio San
Francisco, and the war department. ST

Francisco exposed to attack it is hoped
that the situation at Los Angeles viii

troops there can be released and trans

One result of the big strike has bael

Denver, Colo, July 6.-The order of
Railway Conductors will, tomorrow, be-
gin war upon Eugene V. Debs, his
order and the strike. The first step will
be to expel from the order all members
who have gone out on strike on the
order of Debs. This decision has been
arrived at because of several reasons.
First-Members of that order who
stopped work violated the laws Of the
order.
Secondly their acts the striking
members have weakened the influence
of the order, which has always been so
strong that it has never been called up
on to strike in order to gain a desired
point.
1t is intended to punish the disobedi-
ent ones and to sto3 the weakening of
the orders influence.
