Pullman BY Refusing to
Ride In His Cars.
CHICAGO, July 22.-Messrs. Debs, How.
ard. kelher and Rogers, the A. Il. U. Of
iicials, to-day issued an address to the pub
lie, the substance of which is as follows:
40 the American public: 1t is almost
universally conceded the Pullman COM
pany, through oft repeated reductions of
wages, excessive rents and many other
causes, has previously wronged its en-.
ployes, and whatever may be said about
tho great strike which resulted In
consequence of such grievances, the ar
bitrary refusal of the said Pullman
company to submit TO arbitration in
any form is proof positive that said COM
pany had no faith in the justice Of its
cause, and the fears of disclosures that
are certain to result from an honest in.
vcstigation, and in view Of the heavy
losses entailcd upon the country, such OBJ
stinacy on the part OF the Pullman com.
pany is deserving Of the scverest condcm.
nation.
"We propose that the Pullman com.
pany shall be brought to justice, and IN
q way that shall necessitate tho strike
with its attendant ills. We have faith IN
the American people-they uphold justice.
they love fair play, and now, in tho
name Of Justice and fair play, we
appeal to tho great American people, TO
every man and every good woman, not TO
ride In Pullman car until tho Pullman
company does justice TO its employees. Let
tho cars run absolutely empty. No friend
Of labor, no lover of humanity, will occupy
seat or berth In a Pullman car. Let this
policy be inaugurated and We will then
SEQ how long the railway companies will
be bound by their contracts, rs they have
induced tho people to believe, TO haul
Pullman cars.
"We propose to continue this fight
against the Pullman company through
good and evil report and without regard
10 the consequences until justice shall be
done. There will be no surrender. We
will uso cvery available and lawful means
to press tho contest. II is requested that
all the papers throughout tho land favora.
BILE to labor, to justice, to humanity, copy
this statement in full and keep It stand.
ing AZ long as possible. Earnestly appeal.
ing to the great public TO aid us in this
unequal contest, and relying with i'm.
plicit faith on tho final and powerful tri.
umph Of right, We subscribe ourselves.
Very respectfully yours,

DoN'r CONSIDER THE STRIKE OFF.
SAN Francisco. July 222.-The Oakland
and San Francisco lodges Of tho A. II. U.
decline to consider the strike OIL, and an.
nounce that they will stand firm. This
course was determined by unanimous
vote ut special meetings held last night.
The members Of these branches Of tho
union contend President Debs cannot call
the strike of without the consent Of two
thirds Of the local unions. They deny
that therc arc any defections In their
ranks and say tho action Of the Sacrn.
mento strikers In capitulating was caused
by tho weakening OF only few members.
FILLMORE Is oBDURATE.
Superintendent Fillmore was asked II
there was anything 10 be added to tho
notice received by him from the A. II. u.
committee declaring the strike of. "Notl,.
ing" he replied, '"except to emphasize tho
| fact that the surrender is unconditional.
We have made no promises and will take
back only such men as wo havo places
for and whose services We are willing to
