THE STRIKE.
0Ess' PROPOSITION REJECTED By THE
MANAGERS
California Strikers Attack u. S. Troops
Who Fire at Them Win Fatal Effect

CHICAGO, IbB.-The general mana
gers refused to entertain the PROPOSE
tion from Debs, in which he offered to
declare the strike off, provided they
would re-instate their former employees.
This action of the strike lenders was
taken, they claim, not because of inn
pending defeat, but in order that they
should be in harmony with the sug-
gestion President Cleveland made in
announcing that he would appoint
commission of arbitration.
The refusal of the general managers
to even consider the proposition which
would necessitate the dismissal of all
men engaged to fill the strikers places
and would place them again in the
power of the organization which had
paralyZed their lines for days, was n
decided set back to the union. Fol
lowing it came the result of the two
days deliberations of the conference Of
labor leaders called by Samuel Com
pers, of the American Federation of
Labor. The leaders Of all the big or
carnations outside of the American
Railway Union and the Knights of
Labor decided not to involve the men
they represent IN any local strike.
They expressed sympathy with the
Pullman employees but declared strike
ut this time of general business de-
preston an act of folly.
The action of President Cleveland in
promising to appoint n committee to
investigate the labor troubles as soon
as the strike is ended is having its eff
tect In quieting the situation.
The railways operated their princi-
pal passenger trains rs they have been
doing for week, and are moving
freight. No change was made in tho
national and State troops guarding the
lines, but United States Marshal Ar
mold began reducing his force of dep.
uties.
