''In view OF the enormous proportions
which this strike has assumed and the
tremendous sacrifice TO public and pri'
vate interests we will to-day submit

The proposition conditions that sro'-
tration as proposed by President Clsve-
land be entered upon; and that all strlk-
ing employees not guilty OF crimlsal
misconduct be restored without preJu-
dice. Debs said be thought the strike

tion, while Debs, Howard and Sover-
eign

Mr.. Z. ST. Johns, OF tho Rock Island.

Mr.. ST. Johns said be would receive the
proposition and lay IL before the meet
ing. He consented to listen 10 the gen
tlemen because they were the Mayor
and prominent member OF the city
council. He declared he would have
nothing TO do with Debs or any other
labor leader. IL was because OF this
feeling that Debs, Howard aud Sover-
eign delegated the presentation to the
Mayor.

this or any other subject They will
retain in their employ the men Who

tont.

II the present proposition WAS ignored
or rejected the strike would be renewed

the railroad people gave In. He inti-
mated that the union had reserve forces
which IL could call into action and that
they would be felt in their full strength
IL necessary. He said LABOR unions were
waiting pstIentlyto be called upon to join
10 sympathetic strike and declared that

pending entirely upon the voluntary
and sovereign action of its members.
industrial contests cannot be en-
tered at the behest OF any individual

have failed, and then only after the
mem bers have by their own votes, usu-
ally requiring twe-thirds and often q
three-iourths vote, so decided.
while we may not have the power
to order a strike OF the working
people OF our country We are fully
aware that a recommendation
from this conference 10 them to
lay down their tools OF labor, would
largely influence the members OF our
affiliated organizations, and appreclat-
ing the responsibility resting upon u.s.
and the duty we owe to all, we declare
il to be the sense of this conference that
a general strike at this time Is mex
pedient, unwise and contrary TO the best
interests Of the working people.
I'VE further recommend that all con-
nected with the American Federation
OF Labor, now on q sympathetic strike,
should return to work, and those who
contemplate going out on ssympsthstlc
strike, are advised 10 remain at their
usual vocations.
'In the striks of the A. r. U. we
recognize an impulsive, vigorous pro-
test against the gathering, growing
forces OF piutocratic power and corpo'
rations. In the sympathetic movement
OF that order to help the Pullman en-
ployes, they have demonstrated the
hollow shams Of Pullman's pharAsaicaI
paradise.
"By this railway strike the people are
once more reminded Of tho immense
forces held at the call of corporate CAPT
tai, for the subjugation OF labor. Fol
years the railroad interests have
SHOWN THE LAwLEss EXAMPLES
OF defiance to injunctions, and have
set aside laws TO control them
In this disregard OF law, these
corporations have given the great
est impetus TO anarchy anc
lawlessness. Still they do not hesitate
when confronted oy outraged labor, Il
invoke the powers of the State. Th'
federal government, backed by U. s
marshals, injuuctions of courts, procla
nations OF the President and sustained
by the bayonets OF soldiers and all the
civil and military machinery OF the Law
have rallied on the summons OF the cor
porations. Against this array OF armed
force and brutal monied sutocracy
would it not be worse than folly TO cal
men out on general or local strike II
these days Of stagnant trade and com
mercial depression?"
The conference then adjourned.

be merely for officials, nor for corpora ernments invested with monRrchical func- tions and administered by privileged classes; but they were established aud iu- tended by our fathers as governments of the people, by the people, for the people, and must be administered for the people at large and 80 as to promote their general welfare. The rights of the people must be maintained, the arrogance of officials must be put down, and the dictation of banks, trusts and corporations must be suppressed.
 Resolved (e), To the end that all popular rights may be secured and the blessings of lf-goyernment maintained, and believing as our fathers did, that all free government rests on the will of the people and the con- sent of the governed, the only means to preserve such inestimable rights is by pro- tecting the purity of the ballot box. We believe that the ballot should be free and untrammeled, fairly cast, honestly counted, and obedience to the results of such elections enforced, as the right to a free and fair ballot means to secure an honest exercise of such right. Itis the right preservative of all other rights, Is the foundation upon which rests the citadel of our liberties, the perpetuation of our free institutions and the maintenance of our right of self-goyern ment.
