Inc remedy fOr these Ills Is healthy
public opinion and fair public legis-
lation and all legitimate efforts in these
directions, whether by single or united
force, are laudable.
For my own part, believe the large
number OF men who join strikes are more
to be pitied than to be blamed. They are
lead on by irresponsible and tyrannous
chiefs. Labor unions have great statutes,
but one marked evil in them is that they
put the Liberties of thousands in the hands
OF one man or OF few who become their
absolute masters. their despotic Cars.
The solution of differences between
capital and labor is necessarily complex,
ana no one precise formula has been or
can be found. A generous sense of jus-
tice toward all, a deep love of ones fell
lows and attentive listenings to the teach
ings of Christ will lead on all sides to a
better understanding and to happier
mutual relations. Certain it is. that SO
far as possible, the laborer should not
lack support for himself and family. He
should not be overburdened either in
weight or time of labor; he should be
treated as rational and moral being,
with all respect due his human dignity
His remuneration, if diminished in
periods OF depression, should increase in
periods of prosperity.
Yes, i approve highly of President
prompt action brought State and city Off
Gals, citizens and strikers to their senses,
and certainly, in so far as he went, he had
legal rights with him. Mr.. Cleveland
deserves we'll of the Nation and OF the
people of Chicago in particular"
DEBs' ADDRESS TO STRIKERS.
CHICAGO, July 15.-President Debs
visited the strikers and addressed a crowd
of strikers who for the most part failed
to secure their old positions. He urged
them to continue the strike, which, he de-
clared, was never nearer to a victory than
now. The men agreed to stand by Debs,
but at the Same time expressed them
selves violently against the men who
have taken their places. The switchmen
and engine men were especially loud in
their protest against surrender. The
butchers also had bitter words, all those
men having seen their jobs filled the day
before by non-union men and imported
men. The opinion was expressed that
the war was only begun. During the
day the district was plastered and covered
with bills and posters reading as follows !:
The Executive Board of the Knights
of Labor do hereby advise all work men
to keep away from the stock-yards on
Monday, as it is the desire of all organ
lied bodies that all honest workingmen
should do SO; and we further condemn
work as high-handed and selfish with
out asking concessions of the laborers,
and that all men found working in the
yards on Monday will forever be branded
as enemies to organized labor. By order
of Committee"
ATTEMPT TO WRECK A TRAIN.
SAUK RAPIDS (Minn.), July I5.-An
attempt was made last night to wreck a
Northern Pacific passenger train by put
ting dynamite on the tracks. The engine
was lifted clear off the track and the pas
sengers were badly shaken, but no seri-
Gus damage resulted. There were no ar
rests.
MEETING OF THE CENTRAL LABOR
UNION.
New YORK, July 15. = The Central
Labor Union held a meeting to-day in
the Clardenon Hotel. Hardly had the
meeting been called to order, and before
any business was transacted, Phillip
Kelly of the Theatrical Employees Pro-
tectlve Association started the ball roll
ing by saying that the strike was a de-
cided success. IF Chief Arthur had con-
fined his convictions the strike would
have been won in twenty-four hours"
he declared.
Henry Weismann of the Bakers
Union, blamed Debs for calling the strike
of. when Debs declared the strike
OFF, he said, sit was a blow to organized
labor in this country. If Debs had been
wise he would have conferred with the
Federation of Labor as we'll as the
Knights of Labor, instead of forming a
partnership with Sovereign. Sovereign
assumed too much when he said he
would call out a million men in this
country. He has not the power to do so. !"
Master Workman j. b. Archibald said
that Debs conducted the strike admirably
until labor lent helping hand by send
ing leaders from New York, and then the
strike went to pieces.
Meyers, Damshoff and Bandress hoped
that some of these leaders would be
called to account for their action.
QUIET AT M'KEEsPoRT.
MCKEESPoRT (Pa.), July 15.-At mid
night everything here is quiet, though
groups of strikers are marching up and
down Fourth avenue as If they intended
to stay out all night. The foreigners re-
siding on Fourth and Jerome streets are
standing about in mobs discussing the
situation. and are apparently determined
not to retire until tomorrow, and it is
thought they are preparing for an attack
on the employees when they go in to work
at o'clock. One hundred and fifty dep
uties are on guard with orders to club or
shoot in order to protect returning strik-
ers.

the American Railway Union. At a late
hour Secretary Anderson received the
following reply:

that you hold your men in position to aid
at any time the American Railway Union

PITTsBURG, July l5.-Another strike is
