STRONG BID BY POPULISTS
RfILWhY UNION WILL SUPPORT THAT TICKET NEXT FALL.

At the Convontion Which Was Held Yes.
 torday it Was Decided Not to Declare
 the strike on-strong Popuiist senti.
 ment Developed.
 Chicago, Aug. 2.-The American Railway Union will not officially declare the railroad strike of. Neither will it advise the continuance of the struggle. The members of the organization will be allowed to return separately if they so decide or remain out, but they will receive neither orders nor pay from the union.
 This was che sense of the A. R. U. convention which assembled to-day in this city to discuss the situation. The convention was called to order with Mir. Debs in the chair. Fifty-three ac- credited delegates were in attendance. Some of them came from California, Wyoming and Washington. Lack of funds prevented many delegates from coming. The morning was spent In or suHihutiOhs 1ut utiuOst eeCTeCy Wds observed.
 The afternoon session was devoted to the strike question. Reports rom dele- gates were read in order that the con- vention might see how the various roads stood. The Santa Fe delegates were heard on the condition of the strike from Chicago to California. The reports declared the road to be in bad condition, the information being said to be more accurate than the reports re- ceived by telegraph.
 Tonight metings were held in vari- ous parts of the city. Each body of strikers will organize by roads so as to have a more complete organization and condense the strike information in a more systematic manner.
 A strong populist sentiment was de- veloped in the convention, and the American Railway union voters will ev- idently be found supporting the tickets of that party next fall. A subscription was taken up for the benefit of the Pullman strikers. The delegates will re- sume their deliberations tomorrow morning, and with night session will probably adjourn Saturday.

We urge all Catholics to banish liquor from their homes, from their social and political clubs; let Catholic banquets be made remarkable by the absence of all al coholic drinks. Let saloonkeepers be excluded from membership in all soci- cities of Catholics. Give no support to Catholic papers which allow liquor dealers to advertise in their columns. This convention wishes hearty God speed to every worthy worker for total abstinence. The convention desires that societies and individual members of the c. T. A.
