CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 11.-The general
strike which was to have been inaueu-
rated last night to force the arbitration
of the Pullman strike tailed to mater
ialize today. Throughout the city
this morning there was little evidence
of the business paralysis which has
been so confidently predicted by the
labor leaders. Every street car line in
the city was running, the elevated roads
carried the usual number of trains and
the early morning crowds OF workmcn
on the way to their shops and business
seemed undiminishcd. The seamcn,
cigarmakcrs and carpenters were the
only unions which significd their iuten-
tion of stopping work today. Reports
from these trades were awaited, but
their action one way or another was
regarded as only drop in the bucket.
According to the labor leaders, more
than 100000 man in this city will be
out on a strike by Saturday. That was
settled at meeting held bv dozen or
more local unions late last night. The
trades and great council at late hour
last night passed the following resolu-
ton:
"Rcsolved that it is the sense of this
council to strike and that the organiza.
tions already out remain out and that The
remainder are to be out not later than
Saturday morning; that the council
give its fullest support to all organiza-
tions affiliated. We request all members
to keep away from railroad property
and if martial law be declared to remain
in their homes"
The building and trades council is the
most powerful single labor body in
Chicago.
