STRIKE STILL ON.
Debs Says the Strike Is More Pros-
 porous Than Ever.
"REyIVALISTS" ARE SENT OUT.
Weaker, It Is Said, in Chicago, bat Grow ing Stronger in the West-Workmen Advised to Keep Away from
 the Stock Yards.

CHICAGo, July 16.-The American Railway union officials have deter- mined to make desperate struggle to regain for that order the prestige it has lost in the great strike now rapid ly approaching a close. The executive board of the union held a meeting yes terday morning, the object of which was to map out course for the future. After a lengthy discussion it was de- cided to send out 'revivalistS" to all important sections of the west. Six agitatorS had been sent out Saturday, and it was decided to augment this number.
 "The names of those sent out Satur day will not be given out" said Presi' dent Debs to a reporter, for fear ot their being arrested for melting a strike"
 It was learned elsewhere, however, that Director Kern was sent to St. Louis to rally the forces there. Hogan was sent out over the Northern Pacific to stir up the employees of that company and Goodwin was sent over the North western to use his influence with the employees of that railway, and if possi- ble induce them to go out. These del egates are all members of the executive board of the union. Other emissaries were sent out to work with employees of the many lines entering this city.
 After this meeting adjourned an en- thusiastic meeting was held in Uhlich's hall, President Debs presiding. He made a rousing speech, reminding one of the early days of the strike. ''The strike" he said, ''iS now-right now more prosperous and encouraging than ever before. We can and must win. The men who have gone back to work will again come back to us, and victory is ours. Grand Chief Arthur of the engineers is a scab jobber, and he will go down in history as traitor to organized labor. He instructs his men to work with scabs and tells them that scabbing is honorable. He is tool in the hands of the general managers. The strike is weaker in Chicago than elsewhere" continued Debs, but it will grow stronger, just as in the west it is grow ing stronger every hour"
 Fifteen meetings were held in differ ent parts of the city during the after noon and evening, several of which were addressed by Debs. He will to- day give out a statement in answer to the one made by Pullman.
 Mir. Debs said several of his commit teemen had reported to him the Rock Island, Lake Shore, Eastern Illinois, Grand Trunk and Western Indiana men would all be out again to-day. Nothing could be learned outside to verify this assertion, however.
 President Debs visited the stock yards yesterday and addressed a crowd of strikers, who have for the most part failed to secure their old positions. He urged them to continue the strike, which, he declared, was never nearer to victory than now. The men agreed to stand by Debs, but at the same time expressed themselves violently against the men who have taken their places. The switchmen and engineers were es- pecially loud in their protests against a surrender. The butchers also had bitter words, all these men having seen their jobs filled the day before by non union and imported men. The opinion was expressed loudly that the war was only begun.
 During the day the district was plas- tered and covered with bills and posters reading as follows:
 Executive board of Knights of Labor dc hereby advise all workmen to keep away from the stock yards on Monday, as 1t is the desire of all organized bodies that all honest work men should do so, and we further condemn the action of the coopers in returning to work as high-handed and selfish, without asking con sessions for the laborerS and that all men found working in the yards on Monday will forever be branded as enemies of organized labor. By order of the committee
