Special TO the REcoRD-UNIoN-
CHICAGO, July 12.-The strike situation
throughout tins country to-day was in
general one OF quietness. The central
points of interest have been the meeting
Of labor leaders with President Gompers

quarters in t'is ity. 1t is admitted that
the action of thT body, if taken unani-
mously, will have marked effect on the
situation, and persons well informed as
to the predictions of the persons compos-
ing it express the opinion that unanimous
action by it, except in the direction of
quieting the present agitation of turning
it into other channels, is unlikely.
1t is known that several suggestions
are being considered by these leaders.
Among them are the following:
First-That the striking Pullman en-
ployes, on high patriotic grounds, appeal
to President Debs to declare the strike off
by reason ofinhnite damage which is be-
ing done to the business of the country.
Second-That the leaders unite in an
appeal to the public to quit patronizing
Pullman sleeping-cars. drawing-room
and dining cars.
Third-That President Cleveland be
requested to appointed a committee to
investigate the strike and the causes
which led up to it. in expectation that the
report of such commission would justify
the action taken by the strikers and free
them from the charges of riotlng and
disorder.
Fourth-The immediate efforts to be
made to secure the impeachment of At
torney-General Olney.
Fifth-That an effort be made TO secure
the passage of a compulsory arbitration
law by Congress.
Sixth-That complaints be lodged look
ing to the indictment of the railway mana
gers for conspiracy to obstruct the move
ment of United States mails by refusing
to mail cars except in connection with
Pullmans.
The strike at the Union Stock Yards is
now seemingly thing of the past, and
within few days all business connected
with the yards will be running as if no
strike had ever taken place. For the
past two days profound quiet has pre-
vailed in that district. The leaders and
their sympathizers are willing to go back
to work. No disorder has been reported.
The expert butchers of Armour, Swift,
and Morris are ordered to strike, but the
order was only needed by about half of
the butchers.

ARBITRATION ACT.
The K. of LIS General Secretary Talks
With Cleveland.


With Cleveland.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-John w.
Hayes, the General Secretary Treasurer
of the Knights of Labor, gave out the
following statement to-day, covering the
committees interview with President
Cleveland:
''We had an hours talk with President
Cleveland this afternoon for the purpose
of calling his attention to the Arbitration
Act of 1885, introduced in the House of
Representatives at that time by John
O'Neil of Missouri. l had full authority
from President DebS of the American
Railway Union and j. w. Heathcote of
the Pullman employees TO represent their
interests and act on their behalf. The
President seemed pleased to receive us,
and Immediately opened the subject by
referring to the law which the parties IN
terested desired to see enforced. An
hour was spent in discussing the various
provisions of the Act, which authorizes
the President on his own motion to ap-
point two arbitratorS, together with the
United States Labor Commission, TO act
as a Commission of Arbitration and in
vestigate and decide what should be done
by either party to settle the controversy.
The commission has all the powers neces-
nesses, etc.
1.-The President finally decided to ap-
point the commission, and said he would
name the arbitrators either tomorrow or
next day. We expect to secure much
more from this arbitration than the final
settlement of the present difficulty in
Chicago. While that is great victory
for labor organizations and everything
the American Railway Union has fought
for, it gives official recognition to the JUS
tice of their demands for arbitration, and
it will be much further, for in the move
mentS of the future, when the defects of
the present arbitration law have been
made apparent by actual experience,
prompt steps will be saken to amend the
same"
After discussing the various features of
the situation for more than an hour, the
President promised that if the leaders
would return to Chicago and use their in
tiuence toward restoring peace and order,
he would appoint the commission as soon
as the isturbances had ceased to such an
extent as to render a careful, thorough,
thoughtful investig ton possible. The
President laid greaeS.nphaSis on the fact
that no steps could be taken in this di-
rection until lawlessness had ceased, and
made his promise contingent on the
pledge of the labor leaders to see to it that
so far as organized labor is concerned, the
trouble at Chicago and elsewhere will inn
mediately disappear.
There is no disposition on the part of
the Administration to weaken in the
stand which it has taken, but the Presi-
dent fully realizes the gravity of the stu
alton, and while he will not temporize
with the lawless element he is determined
to do all in his power to reach a perma-
nent solution of labor questions.
A telegram was received by the Presi-
dent tonight from President .Gompers of
the Federation of Labor, asking him to
come to Chicago, or send q representa-
tive. TO consider with prominent labor
leaders concerning the situation. No
answer has yet been made to the invita-
ton.

LABOR MEETING AT NEW YORK.
Large Gathering of People at Cooper

Union.
NEW YORK, July 12.-The labor dem
onstration held tonight in Cooper Union
to express sympathy with the strikers in
Chicago and the West, was an extraor-
dinary gathering of people. The hall was
crowded to excess, and 5000 people sur
rounded the building unable to get in.
The meeting was vehement one in the
manner it expressed its convictions. The
name of President Cleveland was re-
ceived with such a storm of Kisses and
hootings that Henry George, who was
speaking. had to say, Whats the use ?"
Danet Harris presided, and introduced
Henry George, who was the star speaker
of the evening. The apostle of single
tax was unusually bitter. Vehemently
he denounced the use of Federal troops
to put down the strikers. Governors
Altgeld and Stone, he said, were right in
the stand they took, and the action of the
President in sending out troops was an
arrogant assumption OF State authority.
Mr.. George said he would rather see all
the railway property OF the country
burned, all the rails torn up, than TO see
them preserved by force OF arms. The
millionaires made their money by rob-
berry aud debauchery, by the purchase of
Judges and Legislatures, and now they

L9YE AND PROPOSALS.
How Men and Women Act In This In-
teresting Juncture.

There is a clever statistician who
could teach Il thing or two to the nov.
elistA This statistician has attempted
to classify the action and methods Of
proposals, and, as result, has pre-
sented tabulated figures, extremely
interesting to psychologists. Out Of a
hundred cases thirty.six gentlemen
take lady in arms, sixty-seven gentle
men kiss lady on lips, four gentlemen
kiss lady on cheek, three gentlemen
show very good taste by kissing lady
on eyes and two gentlemen kiss lady
on hand. 1t is to be presumed these
two out Of a hundred are the timid,
diilident kind, though it is possible
that they might be of the quietly SEN
timental nature. One gentleman
kisses lady on nose. Itmust be added
that the statistician iscareful to insert
the saving clause of (by mistake).
There is even a record Of man
kissing lady ou edge of shawl, but,
thank goodness, there is only one in a
hundred and the chances are that
this man is peculiar.
Seventy-two hold lady's hand, sew
enteen hold it very tightly, fourteen
have Jumps in their throats and nine
exclaim aloud; "Thank Godw Only
seven out OF hundred declare them
selves deliriously happy and five are
too full for utIerance. Three out OF a
hundred stand on one foot when they
make proposal and two go down on
one knee, while nine make formal
prelude-something like the slow
music at the play, we suppose, when
the william appeals to heaven to wit
ness the consuming flame of his affec
tions for the heart he plots to ruin,

The behavior Of the lady under the
circumstances is equally entertaining
and instructive. Out of hundred
cases eighty-one sink into the arms ol

sinks into the arms of chair; eleven
