The strike sun On.


CHICAGO, July 13-Eagene V. Debs,
who ordered the great strike, made an
Intellectual attempt looking to settle
ment today. He drew up formal prop
osliion TO the general managers agreeing
| to have the men return to work at once
provided they be reinstated IN former
positions without prejudice; be made an
exception in the case of any mau who
has been convicted of crime, but offered
to have all others 90 back Immediately.
This proposition WIS signed by the prIn
cipsl officers of the American Railway
Union. II was taken by them to Mayor
Hopkins. who, at their request presented
1t to the Chairman St John, of the Gen
eral Managers Association. The associa-
tion was not in session, but after the
individual members had been consulted
il was returned TO Mayor Hopkins with
out answer and with the information
that no communication will ever be re-
ceived from Dobs, from Howard or from
said, was taken not because of impending
defeat, put In order that rhsy be in har
mony with the sugg s,1on President
Cleveland had made 10 announcing that
he would appoint an investigation COM
mission.
The refusal os the general managers to
even consider the proposition, which
would necessitate a dismissal OF all men
engaged to fill the strikers places and
would place them again In the power of
the organization which mad paralyzed
their lines, for days, was decided set
back to the union. Foliowipg 1t came
the result of the two days deliberation OF
the conference of labor leaders, called
by Samuel Gompers, of the American
F derafIon of Labor, that the leaders of
the large labor organic 'tions, outside OF
the American Railway Union and Knights
of Labor, had decided not to involve the
men they represented In any strike.
They expressed sympathy with the Pull
man employees but declared that strike
at this time of business depression was
mere folly.
E4riy In the day the action of Presi-
dent Cleveland had been hailed by labor
ing men al victory for organized
workingmen, as they claimed t0 haye OBJ
tanned for the first time a recognition of
the principle of arbitration by the
president of the United States. The
strike leaders then looked for settle
ment. The failure of their mode of
settlement leaves them only unconditlon-
al surrender or fight to the bitter end.
They chose the latter, and claim the
strike is as strong as ever.

The labor Leaders.


CHICAGO, July 12-Tbe strike situs-
ua,ion throughout the country today was
In general, one of quietness. The cen
tral polnt of interest has been the meet
ing of the labor leaders with President
Gompers, OF the Federation of Labor, al
the headquarters in this city. 1t is ad.
mitted that tine action of that body, if
taken unanimously, will have marked
effect on the situation, and persons WE'LL
Informed as to the predictions of the
persons composing It express the opinion
that unanimous action by 1t, except in
the direction of quieting the present ag-
itation or turning it into other channels,
is unlikely. It IS known that several
suggestions are beng considered by the
leaders. Among them are the following
First. that the striking Pullman en-
ployes, on high patriotic grounds. appeal
to PresIpent Dsbs to declare the strike of
by reason of the infinite damage which Is
being done to the business of the coun-
try.
Second, that the leaders unite in an
appeal to the public to quit paironizing
Pullman sleeping cars, drawing room and
dining cars.
Third, that President Cleveland be re
Quested to appoint committee to in
vestigated the strike and the causes
which led up to it, in expectation that
the report of such commission would jus
tify the action taken by the strikers and
free them from the charges of rioting
and disorder.
Fourth, that immediate efforts be made
to secure the impeachment of Attorney
General O,ney.
Fifth, that an effort be made 10 secure
the passage ola compulsory arbitration
law by congress.
Sixth, that complaints be lodged look
ing to the indictment of the railway
managers for conspiracy 20 obsiruct the

At noon today the uni'r machinists

general sympathetic stIkt. ~hich was
inaugurated yesterday. As IS usua' 10
such cases, the strike effects the largu
shops far more than The sAal er ones,
where only few men are employed
Promptly st 12 o'clock the 700 men em-
ployed by Fraser & Chamer laid down
their tools and went on strike. Before
doing SO. they had notified President W.
]. Chalmers OF their intention, and held
confereHce, wherein the men stated
their position. They said they had no
complaint against the company, nor any
grievances OF any kind, but had been
ordered to strike out of sympathy, and
would do so to show their sentiments
Mr. Chalmers made speech. in which
be said he hoped that the strike would
csuse no hard feelings between the CON
pany and its employees, and with band
shake and well wishes all around, the
men left and the big shop, which few
minutes before bad been all hustle and
confusion, was silent. Over 100 me1
employed by the Gates Iron Company
walked out at the same hour, and mum
of other shops we're affected.

PraIrie Fire.

Last night about 9 o'clock the grass on the
hill farm of Mr.. Jos. Southwell. near Cello,
was fred. and it was only by strenuous
efforts that l4OO head Of sheep in correll
and the dwelling house were saved from
destruction. Miss Anna Southwell and her
brother Dix were asleep in the house at the
time, and the neighbors ran through the
burning grass and awakened them. They
threw buckets of water on the dry grass
around the cabin and beat out the fire with
sage brush thus saying the house from de-
struction. The sheep were driven out of
the corrall some distance away out OF the
range of the flames. Mr.. Southwell thinks
there were about 100 acres burned over. and
he believes it to be the work of an incer. .
diary.

Cleveland and labor Leaders.

WASHINGTON, July 12-It is officially
stated at the White House that the pres.
ldent has promised to appoint an arbitra
ton commission as soon ss the disturb
ances in Chicago have subsided, so far
as the strikers are responsible for them,
and peace restored. This promise was
made to committee representing the
various labor organ cations which Presi
Cleveland received today. After dis
cusslng the various features OF the situa-
t1on for more than an hour, the president
promised that if the leaders would return
to Chicago and use their influence to
wards restoring peace and order, be
would appoint the commission as soon as
the disturbances had ceased to such an
extent as to render a careful, thorough,
thoughtful Investigation possible. The
president laid great emphasis on the fact
that no steps could be taken in this di.
rection until lawlessness had ceased, and
made bis promise contingent On the
p edge of the labor leaders to see to it
tat, so far as organized labor is con-
cerned, the trouble at Chicago and else
where will Immediately disappear. There
is no disposition on the part of the ad.
ministration to weaken in the stand 1t
mas taken, but the president fully realizes
the gravity of the sieuation, and while
he will not temporize with the lawless
element, he is determined to do all in bis
power to reach a permanent solution OF
the labor questions.
PROVISIONS OF THE LAW.
The Q'Neil law approved October 1.
1883, provides that when controversies
arise between the companies engaged in
interstate commerce and their employees,
obstructing the transportation of prop
erty and passengers, an arbitrator shall
be selected by each of the parties to the
two arbitrsiors to select
q third. This board shall after a full in-
vestigation, publicly announce its decis-
ION. which, with all testimony, shall be
filed with the United States commits
sioner of labor. The statute further
provides that the president of the United |
States. may select two commissioners, one |
of whom shall be a resident of the state |
or territory In which the controversy
arises, who, together with the commls-
sloner of labor, constitute temporary |
for the puspose Of examining |
the causes of the controversy, the con-
ditlons accompanying, and the best |
means of adjusting 1t. the result of which |
shall be Immediately re-
ported to the president and congress.

1t was learned else where, however, that
this morning Director Kern was sent to
st. Louis to rally the forces there. Hogan
was sent out oyer 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 en-.
ployes of that system, and If possible in
duce them to go out. These delegates
are all members of the executive board
of the union Other emissaries were
sent out to work with employees of many
lines entering the city. After the exec
utive committee adjourned an enthuastic
meeting was held in Ulrich's hall, Presi
dent Debs presiding He made rousing
speech, reminding one of the early days
of the strike. He said:
"The strike 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 OdCk 10 US, duu Victory lS
ours. Grand Chief Arthur. of the engin-
eers, is 'scsb' jobber, aud he will go
down in history as traitor to organized
labor. He instructs his men TO work |
with 'scabs,' and tells them that 'scsb.'
biDg' is honorable. He Is tool in the
hands of the general managers. The
strike is weaker in Chicago than else
where, but it will grow stronger, just as
In the West It is growing stronger every
hour"
Fifteen meetings we're held In different
parts of the city during the afternoon
and evening, several of which were ad-
dressed by Debs. He will tomorrow
give out a statement in answer to the
one made by Pullman.
Debs said that several of his COM
miitee men had reported to him that
the Rock Island, Lake Shore, Eastern
Illinois, Grand Trunk and Eastern In
diana men would all be out again to-
morrow Nothing could be learned
outside to verify this assertion, however.
