Tn regard TO the appeal. Mr. Debs sad
Sunday evening:
"SInce the ce ssation OF the recent hos
,iIitIes we have received letters from all
'n,rts OF the country. from persons VINO
saw that. while they do not sanction vio-
ience in the Pullman. fight, they are
vi,b us first and last. They say they are
,,erv much dissatisfied with Pullman $
absolute refusal to entertain any propo-
si,ion looking toward a settlement OF the
differences.

the American people not TO ride IN MS
cars" he said. "on account or TINS SYM
pathy. and we will see whether hauling
emptv cars cannot bring Mr.. Pullman
TO time. They are now trying 10 open
the Shoes at Pullman. but the men Will
NOT return TO -work-that has been de-
cided by them--and their places cannot
no filled. We are constantly receiving
teIeprams from all parts Of the country,
stating that the men are still out. and de-
,ermined 10 stay out until the strike Is
declared off In this city the switchmen
with the exception OF n very few, are out
"a soolidly for us as they were the day
the strike was declared. While the com
NAMES say that they are running their
trains on time. II Is, nevertheless, fact
that they are badly crippled. especially
with their freight service. We are conn
dent of ultimate success. and our organl-
cation Is growing at the rate of go mem
bcrs a day"
rho strike at Pullman will be brought
| N \ focus this week. Notice has been
| served on managers OF the car-work'
| that unless they make an effort to open

| win no withdrawn. The exact date giver
for this opening could not be learned
| but officers OF the state militia believe
tomorrow Is the limit.
The determination to call the militia
| in unless the Pullman Company either
resumed work or announced that its shop:
would be closed for a stated period. Is
| the result OF Observation-Disclosures
Royle's visit to the town. He came &
| the conclusion that it was folly To keel
such a large armed force around Pullman
| as long as the company was not making
any effort to start It's shops.
He WAS ready 10 cOncede that riot
would probably follow any effort 10 begfr
work. and. believing that IL would have
| TO come sooner or later. and that troops
would have to put 1t down. told the OH
| cials they might as well fight it out tirst
| as last.
Another aection Of the plant at Pullman
was 10 resume activity yesterday, Officials
| Of the company having announced tina

up I'm full operation. 1t was also an
nounced that the Illinois Central shop
| at burnside would begin operations to
| day with force Of operatives increased
| TO nearly 300 men.
Pullman officials also said that the force
| OF girls in the laundry and the number
| Of laborers employed would be larg7l
augmented I'm view Of the evident inten
| ton of the strikers. as openly espresso
| by them i'm public places about Pullman
Sunday. to make 1t as difficult for the
| company TO open these additional por
| tions Of the works as possible. IL wal
| feared by the leaders of the police anc
militia that there might be collision
| between strikers and those whom the
| company induced to return to work.
Provisions were made against this pos
| sible trouble by increasing the reserves
| OF police at the Hyde-Park. kensington
and South Chicago stations. An or
ganizer for the a. Il. L. in Pullman
| said that one Of the next moves OF the
union would be to sue in the courts fol
an Injunction restraining the further
| presence Of the militia about the Pullma
works. This was in accordance, he said
| with the recent order issued by the Gov
ernor that the militia should not be usel
