las matters stand now" he said, I'VE
see the Pullman people. the railroad
corporations ana tne eupTaI bONeTH-
ment arrayed on one side. Organized
labor all over the country is on the

Had the trouble been confined. as
Company. everything would have been
| settled by this time. But the railroads
have already shown that an agreement
of some kind must have existed be-
tween them aud the Pullman Company.
They took up Pulman's fight and were
getting beaten. when they called Pres-
| dent Cleveland and the United States
Government to their aid
Nothing but thu strongest kind of In
| fluence that can be brought TO bear on
| the trouble can now amount to anything.
| That influence. In my opinion. would be
a general order for cessation of work
| all over the country. Such an order is.
In my opinion. not only possible but
| Probable. unless Il radical change takes
| place In the situation. Something must
happen inside of very few days to alter
| the situation.
The only thing to say about the
proclamation of Presiden Cleveland is
that 1t would have looked even more
silly had he waited for "A week or 3d. UNI
| til the trouble might have been all over
and then come out with his proclama-
| ton.
Just fancy a man first sending United
! States troops to Chicago to terrorize the
, strikers, and some days later to issue a
( proclama ton that he would do so. The
I fact Of the troops having been sent there
has destroyed any effect which such n
proclamation might have under ordinary
| circumstances.
country, without exception. is in favor
of the railroad men. sympathy has
gone out to them, and now when work
! ingmen see what Is going on-that the
whole Government has been induced 10
take sides against their brothers-in my
opinion II leads to but one conclusion.
! so far as the Federation is con-
rned, we have TO do mainly with the
3, eet railroad men. ] know they are
anxious and have but one opinion on
the subject. They have considered and
used on most OF the surface roads.
! 80 far as the proposed mass-meeting
Is concerned we will aid 1t. AT that
meeting think you will see the sym
| patty of the strikers take some tangible
form.
THE action OF the Chicago trades de-
Gliding to go out II Pullman does not
submit to arbitration will, in my opin-
ion, have great weight with labor men
| all over the country In fastening their
action. All such events have, great
weight Had the Pullman people sub
m!ttcd 10 arbitration In the first instance
as had been reque sted, there would be
no such thing as strike on hand now. ,
Ernst Bohm. Secretary Of the Central
| Labor Federation, said:
| 81 do not think there Is any immedl-
| ate prospect Of strike, but the condi-
tons are such that single act might
cause strike all over the country.
| Events must shape themselves. SO far
as New York and Its Vicinity are con-
| cerned, we all remember what fearful
| time OF hardship the workingmen passed
| through last Winter Times are no bet
ter now. nor is there any sign OF i'm
| provement.
" These matters will also have u bear
| Ing ON the Chicago troubles: and. In
fact, II Is impossible to say where 1t will
| all end.
''As to the proclamation OF Presl lent
! Cleveland, think It will have no weight
whatever. He discounted II himself
when he first sent the troops to Chicago"
/ President C.ausen, OF the Park Board,
| said this afternoon that permission would
probably be granted 10 the labor organi-
cations to hold mass-meeting IN Union
| Square to indorse Dehs and the strike.
| The Committee appointed to arrange
! for the mass-meetinG did not call at the
/ Park Board this morning to secure a
| permit because the date for the meeting
had not been agreed upon definitely.
