Cook County Jail.
SAYS THE STRUGGLE Is STILL on.
Ne Asks American Citizens to Refrain
From Riding In Pullman Cars-Troubio
Anticipated at Pullman-San Francisco
ana Oakland STRIKE sim On.

CHICAGO, July 25.-Mossrs. Debs How
nrd, keliher and Rogers. the American
Railway union officials, have issued an
address to the public, The substance OF
which is as follows.
TO the American Public
1T SIS almost universally conceded that
the Pullman company, through Oft re-
pcated reductions of wages, excessive rents
and many other causes, has griovously
wronged its employees, and whatever may
De said about the great railroad strike
which resulted i'm consequence Of such
grievances the arbitrary refusal of said
Pullman company 70 submit 20 arbitra-
ton In any form (eyen 60 decide the quas-
ton IL thoro was anything 20 arbitrate) is
proof positive that the company has no
faith in the justice Of its cause and foaes
she disclosures that are certain TO result
from an honest investigation, and in view
OF the heavy losses entailod upon che
country such obstinacy on the part Of the
Pullman company is deserving Of the Sc
yorost condemnation.
I'VE propose that the Pullman company
shall be brought to Justice, and this in =
way that viii not nocassitate strike,
with its attendant ills
Don't Ride on Pullman Cars.
I'VE have faith in the American pco-
pie. They uphold justice; they love fair
play; and now in the name of Justice and
fair play. we appeal to the great Aneri-
can public to every good man and every
good woman not to ride I'm a Pullman
car until the Pullman company does jus
tico to its employees. Let the cars run
absolutely empty. No friend OF labor,
no friend of humanity, will occupy "a seat
or a berth in a Pullman car. Let this
policy be innuguratod, and we will then
see how long the railway companies will
be bound by their contracts, as they have
induced the public to believe they hnyo,
to haul Pullman cars.
l We propose 70 continue the fight
against the Pullman company, through
good and evil report and without regard
to consequences until justice shall be
done, There viii Doe no surrender Wo
will use every available and lawful means
TO press the contest
Earnestly appealing TO the great pub
Ito to aid US In this unequal contest and
relying with implicit faith upon the final
and powerful triumph Of the right, W.
subscribe ourselves
sim Confident Of Success.
In regard to the appeal Mir. Dobs said.
"Since the cessation of the recent hos
tilities we have received letters from all
parts Of the country from persons who,
while thOy do not sanction violence In the
Pullman strike, nre with as first and last
They say thoy are very much dissatisfied
with Pullman's absolute refusal 90 entor-
tain any proposition looking toward SET
tloment OF the differences.
we are going TO continue to appeal TO
the American people not TO ride in his
cars on account Of this sympathy, and we
will sec whether hauling empty cars can
not bring Mr. Pullman to time.
"They arc now trying to open The shops
at Pullman but the men will not return
to work-that has boon decided by Thorn
and their places cannot be alloa We sIN
constantly receiving tolesrasns frea ~
parts OF tho country stating that the aen
are still out and determined 10 stay out
until the strike is declared of. In this
city the switchmen, with the exception 81
very few are out as solidly for us a.
they were the day the strike was declared.
while the companies say that they ara
running their trains on time, il IS never
theless fact that they are badly crippled,
especially with their freight service We
are confident Of ultimate success, and our
organization is growing at the rate " COZ
members a day.
A party Of Boston people who had been
out TO the Pacific coast has arrived in
Chicago They were caught IN southern
California by the strike and were three
weeks IN getting over the southern Pa
cifiv road, their train being tied up DO
less than four times, but fortunately ct
points where 10 was possible to gel proYi-
sions.
Trouble Expected 81 Puiinan.
Another section OF tho plant at Pullman
will resume activity today, officials Of the
company having announced that tho
works of the Allen Paper Car Wheel com
pany employing so mon, would start up
| i'm fun operation. Il was also announced
| that the Illinois Central shops at Burnside
would begin operations today with force
Of operatives increased 20 nearly 300
men, Pullman officials also said that
the force Of girls in the laundry and the
number of labOrcrs employed about tho
works would be largely augmented.
, In view OF these announcements, and
the evident intention Of the strikers, as
| openly expressed by them in public places
/ about Pullman, to make it as difficult for
| the company to open these additional por-
! tions of the works as possible it was fear
! ed by the leaders Of the police and militia
| that there might DO collisions between
/ strikers and those whom the company in
/ duccd Co return to work Provision was
made against this possible trouble by in
crcasing the reserves of police at the Hyde
/ Park, Kensington and South Chicago sta-
tons.
An organizer for the A. r. L. in Pull
man said that ono Of the next moves of
the union would be TO sue in the courts
for an injunction restraining the further
presence Of the militia about the Pullman
works. This was i'm accordance, he said,
with the recent order issued by the gov
ernor that the militia should not be used
to guard private property.
The Investigating Commissioners.

| Cleveland has rendered ox- Senator Lyman
| Trumbull an appointment as a member
of the commission Of arbitration which is
to investigate the Pullman labor strike.
