THE IMPENDING STRIKE.
NO PROBABILITY THAT EMPLOYEES
WILL NOT GO OUT.
Men Themselves Oppose the Idea and
Resent the Interference of the Ar
bitration Committee.

WOODSTOCK, ILL.,, Nov. S.-Eugene V.
Debs made the following statement to-
day with reference to the threatened
strike on the Great Northern railway
system:
1.-The policy of the Great Northern
company in relation to it's employees is
totally dishonest and disreputable. For
several months a scheme has been in OPP
Grafton to disrupt the American Railway
Union. notwithstanding the solemn
pledge of President Hill, that no en-
ploye should be interfered with on ac-
count of his connection with the oVgan-
ization. The strike of April, 1894, re-
suited in an agreement between the COM
pany and the union, which was effected
of arbitration, composed wholly of mer
chants and manufacturers, and of which
Charles A. Pillsbury was chairman. Ire
mendous reductions Fanging from 10
to 40 per cent. had been made by the
company and these were restored by the
board. From that day to this the COM
pany has not held to it's agreement.
Competent and trustworthy men have
been discharged again and again, for no
other reason than that they belonged to
the union.
whether the employees strike or not
will be determined by themselves. [ am
rectors keliher and Goodwin, in con-
junction with the board of mediation,
are on the ground, and I have faith in
their judgment and will approve their
course, whatever that may be. According
to my advices the Great Northern COM
pany has already begun the hiring of
thugs and eX-conVlctS at various points.
