FIGHT FOR HIGHER WAGES.
The Pullman Boycott a Sort of
Blind.

CHICAGO. July S.-The Herald to-
morrow morning will publish the fol-
lowing: 1.-The present strike Of railroad
employees in Chicago and the entire
country, according to recent reports, Is
not to be confined to settlement as
strike of the employees of the Pullman
Palace Car company. 1t is the inten-
ton of the A. r. U. to force
settlement of the wage question on all
railroads where they are organized be-
fore they agree to the final settlement
of the present strike. 1t has been the
popular belief, backed up by the state
ments from President Debs and other
officers of the A. r. u, that the only
question that is causing the riots, taking
of life and destruction of prop
erty was the Pullman boycott;
in other words, the sympathy of
all organized railroad men and to the
Pullman strikers the hope that they
might reach an agreement with George
M. Pullman and resume work in the
car company's shops. The strike has
been aud is still designated ''symp
rhetic" strike, but it now appears GER.
Sain that the members of the A. 4. U
are fighting for far more than the in
terests of the strikers at Pullman.
That, of course, remains the Ostensi-
BILE issue, but before the men return
to work they will make a struggle for a
higher and better scale on every road
OH which they are organized" President
DebS dictated kilograms about as fol-
lows to every chairman OF local strike
committee in the country:
"Shall we push the fight for higher
wages along with the Pullman boy
colt? Get vote of your union on the
question and answer Immediately.
"DEBs."
These telegr ans were sent out on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
the first week of the strike. Answers
opposed to the move, but in great
majority of cases thu answers were
strongly in the affirmative.
President Debs said last night that
tile report of complication of the griev
ances now existing was i'll part true.
He was seen at Uhlich's hall prior to
the meeting of delegates of the allied
trades.
"ln some parts of the country our
local unions will demand readjust.
ment of the wage scale before they re-
turn to work." he said, but this de-
mand will te general, nor is it made
part of the issue in the present strug-
gle. 1t is not true that either myself
or any of the unions have sounded the
local unions on such a question. In
many cases. however, where the wage
scale has been lowered SD far that the
men can no longer sta9d it, the unions
will not return to WoIk until they get
some satisfaction in that line. Our fight
now is at doWntrodden Pullman en-
ployes and we cannot let any other de-
sires Interfere in any way in the sucr
cess of our fight for them"

MILITARY Is WANTED.
The Thunderer Says Guns Will
Settle It.

Settle 1t.
LONDON, July 9-The Times this
morning commenting editorially upon
tie great railroad strike in America,
says: The federal Injunction order-
ing the strike leaders to cease seems an
almost needless formality. We can
only hope that it is intended as pre-
Jude to the suppression OF the rioting
by military force. In the present state
of affairs it Is idle TO talk Of milder
remedy"
The Standard says: The disorder has
1t was not nipped in the bud. The con-
stitutlonal pedantrtes Of the governor of
Illinois are disgusting and surprising.
The Daily News says that the situa-
tion i'll Chicago is evidently one of the
very worst of its kind in the history of
America. 1t could not have been APP
preached without the concurrence of
the most widespread Industrial discon-
tent. Order must be restored
at any cost. There is not
pin to choose between the
bloody unreason of the mobs and the
greed and corruption of their social
betters. The riots would never have
reached their present pitch had not the
governor of Illinois and the mayor of
Chicago pandered to the worst passions
of the mob. While Il majority elects
such men we can hardly wonder at the
extent of the riots. The inevitable re-
suit will be further addition to the
federal authority.
The Telegraph says: Whatever the
perils of the task. unless the Washing
ton executives suppress the mobs with
out moments hesitation they will
abrogate the first functions of a civil
ZeQ government

self under the ban of the law. In his
anxiety for results he overlooks the
fact that in all states rioting and vio-
lence is crime and the destruction of
private or corporate property is punish
able by Imprisonment.
There is a grave misapprehension in
the minds of many workingmen as to
the extent of the profits gained by their
employers. 1t seems to be the SUPPOSE
ton that a man who is the employer of
others possesses the philosophers stone,
and that everything he touches Instant
ly turns to gold. Cold facts upset any
such theory, for statistics show that
only about one in ten of those who en-
gage in business or manufacturing ever
attain success. Those who win are
compelled to work far harder and for
more hours than any of their employees,
and although their reward is frequently
liberal, it is gained at the expense of
ruined health and shattered nerves.
Under all circumstances the best
motto for the working and business man
is that old and well-tried one: Live
and let live"

MARTIAL LAW.

The government is asserting itself.
The proclamation issued by the presi-
dent this morning practically places
Chicago under martial law, and will
end the strike at that point.
This result is made necessary, owing
to the lawlessness invoked by Debs,
who has been melting riot, murder and
pillage while bypocrilically proelaiming
"do no violence"
He has set up his authority as greater
than that of the United States, and he
will learn sorrowfui lesson as the re-
suit.
Other men tried similar experiment
over thirty years ago with fatal results.
Another week like the past would re-
suit in the absolute destruction Of the
business of the country, and it is high
time for the president to brush aside the
Altgelds and give the murderOus Debs
and his cohorts touch of the mailed
hand Of the government.
Even the great rebellion was not so
Infamous as the condition of anarchy
which this arch traitor to law and hu-
manity has attempted, with consider
| able measure of success. to invoke.
And it should not end without the
proper punishment beIug meted out to
leaders in the crime.
There should now be strike In
sympathy" with humanity, and the
blow should land so severely upon Debs
that neither he nor any imitator will
ever come to the surface again, bring
ing desolation. starvation and misery to
the homes of the people.

FIGHTING LABOR UNIONS.
Real Meaning of the Big Strike
Now On.


PHILADELPHIA July S-The Ing uirer
will say tomorrow in connection with
the strike:
The strike now OH is not, and from
its inception never has been, battle
between organized labor and capital in
behalf of the Pullman workers." said
prominent official of the K. of L.
today."lt is the result, pure aud simple,
of a fight for supremacy within and
among labor organizations. In other
words, the strike is trump card played
by labor leaders i'll the game which they
are playing against the leaders of rival
organizations and against rivals in their
own orders"
''SiX months ago the Knights found
positive proof Of the fact that the great
body of the order were thoroughly dis.
gusted and that the order was on the
verge of falling to pieces. The decision
was soon reached that the only saliva
ton for them lay in a general uprising
of labor. They were also urged to this
determination by the fact that
the federation of labor was
paging var to the death against
the Knights. There was but one,
young and vigorous order, favorable to
and built upon the Knights of Labor
idea of striking. That order was the
American Railway union. The leaders
of the Knights at once proceeded TO fra
terniZe with the railway union for the
defeat of the federation's proposed con-
ventiou for the unifcation OF labor Or
ders.
AT conference in January it was
decided TO issue a secret order tn the
master workman of every local assem-
bly, of the Knights, asking him to call
upon all members 10 pay cents weekly
to an emergency fund 20 be used in a
movement OF national Importance.
Meanwhile the leaders waited for an op-
portunity FOR the proposed uprising.
"Piaus were laid for the present up
rising, ami the Pullman strike offered
the desired opportunity. All plans were
perfected and funds made ready before
move was made. This strike is the
most formidable aud deeply planned of
any uprising that has ever occurred
in Il civilized country III half
century. Ii its outcome will
only serve to convince honest laboring
men that they are being used as foot
balls by a lot of high-salaried officers,
and il that conviction will eventuate in
the construction OF organizations with
the schsming leaders conspicuous by
their absence, the cost will not be SO
great as may now appear

BUFFALO CALLED OUT.
But There Will Probably Be No
Response.

BUFFALO, July S-There is no doubt
President Debs has planned strike at
Buffalo, but there is considerable doubt
as TO whether he will be able to bring
his plans to a successful issue. Early
today he sent this telegram to Stuart
Reid, his organizer here:
1--WE ask your cooperation in Buffalo.
We are making great fight for labor
and deserve the support of all railroad
employees. Capital has combined
to enslave labor. We must all stand
together or go down i'll hope
less defeat. 1t is impossible for all
companies to fill the vacancies. We
can solve this problem by quitting in
body, standing together. one for all, and
all for one, upon each and every rail-
road throughout the land"
About O'clock telegram came to
President Malacan, of the local branch
of the American Railway union, dire Ct
ing him TO call out his men and giving
him instructions as to what course to
pursue. The telegram also begged NAL
acan to keep the men from rioting. Not
withstanding this order. there will be
no strike in Buffalo tonight and there
may not be one for several days.

N. Y, and DR.. E. II. Squibb. of Brook
Ign, n. z. know by sad experience
something of what Debs' strike means.
The party left their homes some
months ago for pleasure trip on the
Pacific coast. They went West by
Southern line, and started back by
the Northern Pacific. They reached
Livingston. Mont, June %. and were
due to arrive at St. Paul June 25. The
strike came Oh and blocked them at
Livingston. They remained there sew
eral days, then became discouraged and
started by stage over the mountains for
the Great Northern line. The trip was
259 miles long. They thought they had
equipped themselves with provender
for the journey, but it turned out that
they had not, and, before the Great
Northern line was reached, they had
to go on limited rations. One day
they had only few crackers to eat, and
were unable TO get a drink of water
during the entire twenty-four hours.
They at length reached the Grea.
Northern, and reached st. Paul vester-
day. They were seen at the Ryan, and
detailed their unpleasant experiences as
related.
Mrs. K. d. Armour and three chill
dreu. wife and family of the Kansas
City packing house man, and j. w. ..
Reed, confidential man of Armour, were
at the Ryan yesterday. They are EN-
route to Boston. Mass, via the $780,
being afraid to take direct route from
Kansas City Oh account of the strike.

. Quite Serious.
DETROIT, Mich, July S.-Passenger
trains are moving with almost their
usual regularity in Detroit. A Wabash
train for Chicago. guarded by deputy
marshals, passed through Delray this
afternoon without interference. Freight
is badly blocked here as elsewhere A
c rio ad of engineers arrived from Bos-
ton this afternoon. They are looking
for work. and some of them profess
their destination is unknown. At
meeting of railway employees this after
noon it was decided that the brother
heods would defend William DIR. a
fireman. who was arrested for alleged
interference with employees of train
in their duty. At Port Huron to-
day the Grand Trunk freight handlers
refused to longer handle freight, which
will probably complete the freight
blockade. One passenger train was
sent out from Battle Creek on the
Grand Trunk today. 1t is difficult to
secure crews for the Big Four trains at
Benton Harbor. But few of the Chicago
81 West Michigan mall trains are run
ming on the Southern division on ac-
c0nnt of lack of business.

ALIENIsTs cite the percentage of SUI
icides in Germany, which is larger than
in any other country in the world, as
confirmation of their oft-enunciated
theory that beer-drlnking is promotive
of mania. The beverage has power
full effect upon the kidneys, which in
turn influence the brain, producing
paresis, melancholia, and eventually
suicide. 1t is n little remarkable that
in countries given to the stronger slim
ulation of whisky and brandy the pro-
portion of suicides and insanity is but a
fraction of what it is In Germany.
