MR.. GOMPERS ON THE Scene.
President of American Federation Of
Labor Will Take a Hand in
Solving the Strike Problem.

New YORK, July President Com
psrs, of the American Federation Of
Labor, has reconsidersd his decision
not to 60 to Chicago and at 8 30 this
afternoon made the following state.
msut:
II have consulted with the members
Of the executive council Of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor In reference to
the extraordinary industrial situation
prevailing in our country and l have
come to the conclusion that it becomes
our duty to make an effort to bring
order out of what threatens to become
chaos and confusion.
For that reason l have called q
meeting of the executive council to be
held in Chicago on Thursday. July H.
and have also requested the executive
officers of nun Der OF national aud in
ternational trade unions to meet the
council there. hope both by our
presence, advice and action to help in
bringing this industrial crisis to a
peaceful aud honorable ending"
The executive council are Samuel
Gompers, of New York; P. J. Maguire.
Philadelphia; Y. L Drummoud Fort
Wayne; james Brettel, Mingo juno
ticn, Ohio; ". II. Harden. Boston
John B. Lennon and Chris Evans, New
York.
This action of Mr.. Gompers will
have a most important bearing on the
strike particularly in the east There
is no probability that the Pullman
company will consent to arbitrate its
difference and in accordance
with the resolutions of the
Chicago trades unions to strike
tomorrow afternoon at o'clock, un-
less arbitration is agreed upon before
that hour, makes it more than proba
ble that the American Federation Of
Labor will become involved in the
strike.
Mr. Gompers will reach Chicago
shortly after the men 20 out, and 8
majority of the Federation council il
pretty certain to sympathizS with
them The result Of MIR. Gompers
trip to Chicago will be awaited with
much, interest

Out Until Wednesday.
CHICAGO, July 0-General Master
Workman Sovereign, Of the Knights of
Labor, said this morning that he had
determined to delay the or Ter for a
strike OF his order until Wednesday.

not consider it impossible that the tre-
mendous Importance Of paralysis OF
Chicago's industries will force George
Il. Pullman and the railroads to meet
the American Railway union half way
in measures for settlement. 1t is
high time that public sentiment should
move the corporations to arbitration.
Mr.. Debs has all along evinced his
willingness for arbitration, and the
general managers should assume that
manner too AS soon as the result Of
the conference between Mayor Hop
kins and the union committee is known

The life story Of John l. Blair, the
multimilliCnaire Of Blairstown, N. j.,

markable nineteenth century romance
OF acquisition. Blair himself has been
q no less remarkable example Of how
shrewdness and prudence and "hustle"

whit, for, though he has endowed an
academy in his own home with $780,
600, built quite 100 churches along his
railroad lines, given at least $3.50, 600
to various colleges and in many ways
has proved himself to be one of the
most liberal of men, as becomes one of
his vast wealth, his personal expendi-
lures are ridiculously small He has
driven about Blairstown in the same
carriage for 20 yearJ at least, and his
residence, though comfortable in ap-
pearance, is a house that would be Sc
lected as the home Of well to do farmer.
