opposition on either side; but II Is the belief OF
all concerned that with the assistance OF outside
committees such as that appointed by the City
Council some sort OF an arrangement can be
made whereby the railroads will be released and
the original difficulty be settled by arbitra-
ton The officials Of the union are determined
not 10 recognize any propositions which will not
include tho dissolution of the General Managers
Assocation but in view Of the fact that evidence
can be produced that a number of the com
panics Will practically withdraw from the asso-
citation in case settlement is affected. 1t Is
thought that an amcable arrangement can be
made.
1t has been arranged that a preliminary meet
Ing between Mayor Hopkins and the Union o'fi-
c,als be held this evening, but. owing TO the
meeting Of the engineers and fremen AT U'ichs
Hall which made necessary the presence Of Debs
and Howard. no conference was held II was
s,ated positively tonight that a meeting would
be held with Mayor Hopkins and his committee
Tomorrow Mr. Hannah. ~ the fremen. was IN
consultation with the Mayor again this evening.
and aftarwarl secured promise from Debs ana
Howard 70 meet the Mayor tomorrow. AT this
rneoting the arrangements will be made FOR
,oln, conference between the Pullman stock
holders represented by Mr. Studcbaker; the ran
roads and Messrs. Dehs ana II toward a lIl'T.1'e
between the Union o'hclals ana one ~ wv 90.

MANAGERS NOT sANGUINE OF SETTLE
MENT.
on the part or the General Managers 1t is
given ont that meeting Is the thing most wished
for. bu, II Is believed that, owing to the antsso-
nisrn o, several of the members Of the associauon
-, ,,a rasults can be reached at this time. The
managers are not nearly so certain as the union
mon that a settlement will be effected at present,
although they expressed a willingness to meet
the committee.
Vice- President Howard said tonight that II
was not the intention of the union officials 10
have II understood that the meeting was called'
or would be called through any connivance OF 'he
ofp,,ols ~ that organization. Whatever arrange
ments were made for an early conference had
been made by mediators and on the part of the
managers 1t Is with this spirI, and feeling that
the union men will 60 into the conference and
for this reason It is not thought that any definite
results will be obtained AZ the first meeting.
Credentials were issued from the headquarters
OF the American Railway Union to-day 10 Il
committee On the Louisville and NashVllle ON
towering the men to strike on that road under
the protection OF the union.
THE BIG FOUR ANXIOUS FOR PEACE.
Another victory was credited TO the union by
the officials tonight when Il committee from the
Big Four officials I'm this city called at head
quarters 10 give notice that the company would
entertain any proposition for settlement The
roads representatives were sent back with re-
quest for the attendance Of officials authorized
10 make and sign an agreement to that effect
An official notice was sent out from the union
Headquarters 10 the effect that the Executive
Board had passed a resolution boycotting certain
Chicago papers which have attacked the Ameri-
can Railway Union. and calling upon all union
men and labor sympathizers TO refuse to buy or
advertise in the papers mentioned on account OF
the position taken by the editorial management
on the strike. Chapels OF the Typographical
Irnion in Chicago met this afternoon and In sub
stance indOrsed the resolutions and IN addltlOh
made It obligatory upon each member OF tne
order to white rlDDOn siBhiiylHs s!"
pathy with the strikers.
A STRIKE ORDERED AT BUFFALO.
A5 o'clock this evening orders were issued for
a strike OF railroad employees at Buffalo the
effect Of which Is expected to be the complete
tying UP OF railroads at that point
Az soon as a conference between the opposing
narties ls held President Debs expects to start
on a trip through the East in behalf OF the
union.
pEBs THINKS THE INJUNCTION UNNECEs-
SARY.
President Debs said to-day:
have not yet been served with any Injunction,
~ ..t - II want 10 say distinctly that none OF
our officers are running from any court process

~ I read IT, II seeks 10 restrain the men from
doing exactly what we have always forbidden them
