0EBS' CHATTER.
He Said Pullman's Employees Submit
to Servitude.
BIZ The Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 16.-E. V. Debs was
informed that it was the intention of the
workmen at Pullman tc return to their
duties at the earliest possible opportunity,
removing the original cause OF the rail-
way strike conducted by the A. II. II.
Mr.. Debs said he could not give the re-
port credence. When told that Thomas
Heathcote, the chairman of the strike
committee at Pullman, admitted reluc-
family that such was the case
he said: "If it be true that
the Pullman operators are about to
go back To the conditions of servitude
against which they revolted May IL, with
out n single wrong redressed, 1t is, per-
haps, the best proof to the world that
they have been so subjugated and
enslaved by the methods of the Pullman
Company that they are unable to continue
their self assertion in spite of all that we
have endeavored TO do for them.
However, the return to work can
neither help nor harm us in our
general strike. The Pullman question
necessarily became a secondary one when
the General Managers Association took
its cudgels to drive the American Rail-
way Union out of existence and its
recent refusal to consider any proposal
emanating from us leaves us with no pos
BILE retreat. We have fought the cause of
these people until we are so embroiled
that we must continue to fight without
them.
