st. Louis. July 9.-The great railroad
strike so far as st. Louis is concerned
may be said practically to be approaching
an end, and the only desideratum now il
ability to transfer to outlying railroads
traffic originating here and hauled over
L Srso 1rv,
nating point.
Chicago, July 10. - Peace reigns in
Warsaw! The ne cannot be said of
Chicago. for the tresd of armed men is
still heard in her streets and the wheels
of commerce still lag. Nevertheless the
war cloud which has overhuhg this city
and this land for the past ten days shows
distinct signs of lifting. Instead of
stories of additional railroads tied up at
various points thu ,usllt 1T the country,
today's DISPATCHES, almost without en-
ception, bring adviccs of strikers return
ing to work ald IN increased resumption
of traffic amounting in some places to a
return to normal conditions.
At. st. Louis, Kansas City and Denver
it was reported that rairoad business had
about resumed its normal conditions.
Nashville also reported an Improvement.
| About the only points az which the strike
managers showed any gain were in the
partial walk-out of fremen at Fort Scott,
Kan. the freight men on the Kanawha
4 Michigan at Charleston, w. Va, and
the strike of the A. Il. U. men on tho
Big -Four ut Mattoon. 1t will thus be
seen ut the leading railroad centers the
strikers have made perceptible losses,
while their gains are at comparatively
unimportant points.
st. Paul, July 1O.-A bridge $50 feet
long on the Northern Pacific, near Liv-
ingston, Mont, was burned last night,
stopping the Northern Pacific train sent
out of st. Paul with United States troops
on board and another coming east from
the coast. Traffic will necessarily be
suspended until the bridge is rebuilt. A
great deal of talk was indulged in ut the
conference between the Commercial clubs
of the Twin Cities and the committee Of
strikers but no definite action was taken.
Everything is quiet in the yards here
and in Minneapolis.
Chicago, July 10. - Within the next
twenty-four hours will witness a ccssn-
tion of oil labor on the part of the allied
trades in Chicago, and possibly through
out the country. Probably never before
in the history of this country was meet
ing of organized labor called together
that was fraught with more Importance
tlfL that which met at Uhlich's hall.
That all was not harmonious, nOtwitl-
stonding fiery speeches by Messrs. Sow
leign, of the Knights of Labor, Debs, of
the A. Il. u. and other labor leaders, is
evidenced by the fact that It was 4
O'Clock in the morning when the conven-
tion finished balloting OH the question.
The question was decided, in The atfirma-
| tive by an overwhelming vote, however,
and the ultimatum propornded that if
Pullman does not reach definite UNDER
standing with his late employees before
noon Tuesday the Allied Trades Union
of Chicago will open the ball Wednesday
morning by walking out in body.
The joint committee from the city coun-
Gil and the Federation of Labor met Vice
President Wickes at the office of the
Pullman company at 2 o'clock. The
chairman of the council committee eX-
planned to Mr.. Wickes the nature of tile
request, and after a brief consultation
with his attorney he refused cmphatical-
ly to receive the proposed committee of
| five.
The Pullman company has nothing to
arbitrate," said Mr.. Wickcs, land we
must refuse to accept the committee to
which you refer. Our company has not
receded from the position taken at the
inception of the strike. This is final"
This decided the matter and the strike
will begin Wednesday morning
| 1t is said to be probable that President
Debs will be under arrest by Wednesday
morning. Judge Grosscup is in the city
and had conference with District At
torney Milchrist. Deputy United States
Marshal Jones attempted to serve in
functions ON Debs, Howard and Keliher.
