The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1894-07-09

We feel encouraged at the outlook today,
and shall fight on with renewed hope and
confidence in our ultimate victory
Mr.. Debs's attention was called to the
rumors that have been in circulation for
the past two days to the effect that nego-
tations looking to a settlement Of the
strike were being conducted between him
self and Mr.. Studebaker, for the Pullman
company, he declined to answer the direct
question, but consented to outline the terms
upon which the officers of the union would
settle the strike.
First" he said. 1--WE will settle with the
Pullman company upon any terms that the
employees of the company may desire. We
will settle with the railroads on the condi-
ton that they restore their striking en-
ployes to their former places. We want the
settlement to take place with all the corpor-
ations at once, however. This is a general
fight between employees and corporations.
The middle people and the working people
are with us. l have kilograms from the
master workmen of the Knights of Labor
and the president of the Street Railway
Employers Association, in which they offer
to strike. The labor organizations OF the
city are practically all with us. / may say,
however, that for the present | do not in
tend to strike beyond the railroads. but,
in time, we will tie up the industries of
the city if the corporations we are fighting
do not settle with Oh a proper basis.
Brewerics Shut Up shop.
Chicago, July almost every brewery
in Chicago Will stop making beer today
on account of the big strike. The scarcity
OF coal has made such action necessary.
Yesterday a number of officials OF brew
ing companies got together and decided
that unless their coal was saved for the
ice machines they would not only be com
PEELED 10 stop their machinery, but 1t
would be impossible for them to save the
beer in their refrigeratorS. It was finally
decided to stop brewing and use fuel for
nothing but the ice machines. None of
the employees will suffer by the move, as
they Will be kept on the pay rolls. 1t is
also said that the supply of the beverage
will be seriously affected. There are about
fifty large breWeries in Chicago and it was
understood that the men Will enjoy Vaca-
lions for the next few Gays. They say
that if the strike should continue for any
considerable time they viii have to shut
down their breWerieS altogether.
Considered by the Cabinet.
Washington, July 3.-All the members of
the cabinet, except Secretaries Carlisle and
Morton, were present today at the cabinet
meeting.
The strike situation in the west occupied
most ali Of the time, and the members OF
the cabinet a whole are understood to be
in thorough accord in sustaining the presi-
dent and the attorney general in the
steps which they have taken TO suppress the
disorder and. bring about resumption Of
interstate traffic. The consensus of opinion
was to delay, if possible, the use of the
United States troops until the terms of the
Injunction obtained in Chicago were made
known to the various striking Organiza-
tons IT, after that has been done. the dis
order and violence continue, then the Uni
ted States troops will be undoubtedly used
promptly and with firmness.
1.-The law will be upheld" said member
of the cabinet this morning, If the entire
United States land force has to be used in
accomplishing it."
