BALTIMORE IN DOUBT.
The Railway Union Men There Not
Out Yet.

Out Yet.
Baltimore, July 8.-The threatened
strike in this locality as result of the
Pullman boycott, was not ordered today,
mainly because James Russell, the secre-
tary of the American Railway Union
here, would not follow President Debs'
instructions. Secretary Russell received
telegram last night from President
Debs ordering the men TO stop work
with a view TO crippling the eas tern divi-
sions of the Baltimore and Ohio and the
Pennsylvania ROAD systems, but Secretary
Russell to-day said the organization
was not strong enough in these parts to
warrant the promulgation of such an
order, unless they were to be supported
by the older labor organizations. OF this
he had doubt. Mr.. Russell said there
are sixty or seventy lodges of this
union In this city, but detectives
who have been employed to watch
the meetings and ascertain the
strength, claim that there are only
between 200 and 500 of the faithful in this
vicinity who are employed by the Penn
sylyania aud Baltimore and Ohio Com
panies. These men, whatever their num-
ber have only recently joined the union
since Vice President Howards visit here
three months ago. The organization is
composed of men of all occupations in the
railroad business, but mostly of track
men.
ATTITUDE OF OTHER ORDERS.
SHOULD they strike" said an officer of
the railroad conductors organization to-
day, I'VE must support them to this ex-
tent: we can't be expected to work with
scab trackmen or switchmen. Our con
stitution binds us TO quit rather than do
this, and especially so when the men on
strike are making a fight for principle
You may be sure that If the switchmen
and brakemen in Baltimore 20 out no
trains will move" Other railroad men
around the different lodges talked In the
same strain, and generally predicted a
tie-up.r
James Duncan. Secretary of the Fed
GRAFTON of Labor representing AZ ,000men,
is opposed TO sympathetic strikes He
doubts that the present one will extend
this far east, but the federation, he says
will lend assistance should the occasion
demand it.
Daniel I. Orem, the well known exponent
of Knights of Labor principles, is in en-
tire accord with the views of General
Master Workman Sovereign, and indorses
President Debs He thinks the ultra
conservatism for which this city is noted
would prevent any decided or aggressive
action, but he would meet sympathetic
strike with pleasure.
The Baltimore and Ohio western train
service is badly crippled: no trains are
coming to this city from Chicago, and
passengers are told they will probably
not get beyond Garrett, Ind. Everything
at Fort McHenry is quiet, but the troops
could move in short order.

We appealed to the ballot box and won the
victory; we have been robbed of the fruits OF
that victory by the servants we chose to rep

We appeal TO you as the head OF that gov

star Of hope in the political hrmament that
our government can be reclaimed TO us from
corporation rule without the arbitrament OF

pie and for the people, perish from the earth

Yours respectfully, JAMES GRIFFIN,
President Chicago Typographical Union.
President Prescott. president of the In
ternatioual Union, who had come from
Indianapolis to attend the meeting, occu-
pied a seat on the platform beside the
chairman.
MANY ADDRESSES MADE.
Representatives of nearly every paper
in the city addressed the meeting and
after the adoption of the message to
President Cleveland, resolutions were
passed approprating the sum of $1,000
for the use of the Pullman strike
relief committee and declaring
that the position taken by the
Pullman company against its former en-
ployes was a criminal conspiracy against
the liberty of the people, and that the
members of the typographical union
would not sit idly by while corporation
power enslaved the toilers of the country.
The attitude of those newspapers that
approved the position opposing arbitra-
tion In the Pullman difficulty
after themselves benefting by the adop-
tion of that principle, was condemned,
and each and every member of the union
was required to wear q white ribbon
during the continuance of the strike. A
committee of three was appointed to act
with like committees from other trade
organizations, this committee to have
power to give every aid and encourage
ment to the American Railway Union
consistent with the existing laws and
contracts of the typographical union.
These delegates were also instructed to
urge upon the consideration of the general
conference of trade organizations to be held
tonight the creation of a board of confer
ence, to be headed by the mayor of the
city, and to be composed Of seven citizens
three memb bers of the board of railroad
managers and five members of labor or
CARNATIONS, the duty of such board being
to make an earnest and energetic effort
toward a peaceful settlement of the un-
fortunate and dangerous conditions that
now confront the peace of the city and
the welfare of the citizens of the country
generally.

companies and the battery at Birmingham,
where the Birmingham battalion is now

but there are signs that unless restrained
the strikers will become unruly.
The Kansas City, Memphis and Birm-
ingham road is tied up tight The Queen

employees and that of the Order of Railway
Conductors, together with the Santa F'e
conductors and the Denver and Gulf en-
gineers, in having been sworn in as
deputy United States marshals, at their
own request, practically settles the mat
ter. The same is true of all the terri
tory between here and Salt Lake City,
and in New Mexico.
Yesterday Gen. McCooki notified the
authorities at Washington that all the
lines in his territory would open for the
railway companies TO run trains. I'm

are now on duty, guarding the entrances
of the union passenger station and
the First regiment and other companies
Of the Second regiment will be on hand

This was overcome, however, and both
trains finally left.
The Louisville and Nashville got two
freights out to-day, one each way, they
being the only freights moved. except
those of the Columbus and Western and
Georgia Pacific, which as yet have not
been tied up.
The only roads so far affected are the
Louisville and Nashville, Alabama Great

Chicago, July 8.-Every morning and
evening paper in the English language,
together with all the job printing houses
of the city, was represented at the meet
ing of District 16 of the International
Typographical Union, held in Green
baum's hall this afternoon. 1t was the
largest maeting of the union printers of
Chicago in the history. of the organiza-
tion An additional effect was given to
it's action by the presence, for the first
time, of committee from the German
branches. The most important action
was the adoption Of the following mes
sage to President Cleveland, and which
was wired to Washington at O'Clock to-
night:
To the President Of the United States Ex-
ecutive Mansion, Washington, ID. C.-Dear
Sir: Chicago Typographical Union No. l6, In
a called meeting appeals 10 you and your
cabinet TO cease IN upholding by federal arms

wIoKEs GIVEN A LONG WAIT.
The Committee of the Strikers Fails
to Appear.

Chicago, July 8.-Vice President
Wickes of the Pullman company, in ac-
cordance with his promise to Vice Presi-
dent Lawrence of the Safe Deposit Com
pany, appeared at his Office in the Pull
man building to-day ready to talk over
the situation with a committee of ex-
Pullman employees. No committee called
on him, however, and after waiting an
hour and half he closed his office and
went home.
When Mr.. Wickes, at 1:3O O'Clock, had
given up any thought of the conference,
he said Il have been waiting, as you
see, for several hours for the gentlemen
representing the strikers to put in an ap-
pearance, and it looks now as if they did
not intend to come. / was willing to see
the men, but had declined to see repre-
sentatiVes of the American Railway
Union, or any other organization. AS to
what might result from a conference,
cannot say. We are willing to hear what
the men have to say, but the company
has not come to any change of attitude as
to the strike
1t was reported that President Debs of
the American Railway Union, might be
at the conference, but the impression
around Uhlich's hall this morning was
that neither he nor any other of the Off
GERS of the union had any intention of
going. First, because Mr.. Wickes had
said he would not treat with the Ameri-
can Railway Union; and second, because
there was an opinion that the conference
had been consented to by Mr.. Wickes un-
der a misunderstanding.
Vice President Howard said: "The only
reason why Wickes consented even to
treat with the men was because he had
been informed by the mediator that the
strikers were ready to surrender Under
the circumstances, of course, he was will
ing to confer l have no idea that the
conference will accomplish anythingn

LOSS OF THE PENNSYLVANIA.
1t VIII Be Enormous Despite Syste-
matte Precautions.


Chicago, 5tilys e-AThe Pennsylvania
company succeeded to-day in sending out
an early accommodation and the Column
bian special for the east. Neither train
met with serious interference and left
the city limits about on time.
Some idea of what the stike has meant
to the Chicago railroads can be obtained
when the organization of the Pennsyl-
vania lines is noted. The company i'm
mediately after the declaring of the Pull
man boycott, established headquarters in
the city under the charge OF a strike
manager and proceeded with an organiza-
ton warlike and complete A COM
missariat and seven barracks were
established, and for a week
the department has been feeding
and lodging l,5l9 people. A force of $50
deputy marshals was organized with
ofncers, patrol wagons and signal stations
and a corps of engineers was put to work
upon the details of the damage done by
the rioters. But despite this force of
men, backed by the city, county and
state and government troops, the com
pany has suffered fearful loss of property.
Up to Saturday night Coz of its freight
cars had been burned besides many
signal towers, oil and tool houses
and other property. OF the
burned cars. more than 100 were loaded,
about fifty with coal and cinders, and the
remainder with merchandise. No at
tempt at an accurate estimate Of the dam
age has yet been made, but it viii reach
an enormous figure.
Despite the danger incident upon travel
during the strike, large numbers OF peo-
pie have daily gone out over the Pennsyl-
vania, and the number of passengers was
materially increased to-day
