SOVEREIGN, Grand Master Workman ANl Knights of Labor assemblies In Chi- cago wore not notified by the district work- man to take action on the plan adopted at the recent labor conference, all members be- ing adjured to maintain peace and order. OUT OF DEBS' CONTROL. President Debs sald today that the indus- tries of Chicago would be completely tied up boe tomorrow morning. Mr. Debs made this statement: | “This trouble has gone beyond my control | completely and beyond the control of the | railway unfon. It Is possible that the com- mitteo that to settlo the trouble by | arbitration may be able to do something be- | fore night, but I am very much in doubt about it. It certainly looks as If a gigantic strike were sure to come. “8o far as the cause of the A. R edncerned, things look brighter than The strike Is still on, and there Is now violence. That Is what we have most to fear, the destructiveness of who are not connected with our trouble. With so many companies of militia here, though, there will not be much violence, The greater strike i practieally sure to come now, but I hope it will be conducted peaceably and quietly.” NO HOPE OF ARBITRATION. Thomas Kidd, secretary of the Interna- tional Woodworkers' union, and several mem- bers of the arbitration committee appointed yesterday, had a conference today with Vice President Howard and Director Hogan of the American Railway union. At the close of the conference one of the committee said there was absolutely no avenue through which arbitration might be secured. Th strike of the labor unlons was now a cer- tainty. Thelr representative were taking measures to secure Its success. The plan of the leaders for tomorrow is to call out first all organized labor in Chi- eago and then to proceed from town to town until the entire country Is paralyzed or Pullman glyes in. The immediate effect on Chicago, if all trades obey the strike, will throw 150,000 men out of employment tomorrow. The Chicago Seamen's union has decided that should the railroad troubles not be set- and before Wednesday, that the sailors would go out on a sympathetic strike. This will tio up all the sail craft in the harbor. Four assemblies of the Iron Molders' union have struck, 2,500 men going out. The cigar- makers unfon, 4,000 strong, has voted to ptrike. None of these bodies have any griev- ance, but have decided to strike solely be- cause of sympathy with the Pullman boy- cott. ST. LOUIS, July 10.—Grand Master Work- man Sovereign's call for the memebrs of his organization to go out will affect 5,000 em- ployes In St. Louls. There are 327 trades and labor unions In St. Louis under the jurisdiction of the American Federation of Labor, and twenty-three assemblies of the Knights of Labor, embracing the Musicians, garment cutters, breweries’ employes and tobacco workers, woeks U 18 ever. no mobs LOCAL LEADERS FAVOR A STRIK Night's Labor M Nearly 5,000 people Jammed themselves in- to the space bounded by Jefferson square on one side and Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets last night to listen to what George M. Pull- “agnan would probably denounce as an “‘incen- dlary”’ speech. The mecting had been an- nounced as a rally of local populists to listen to a discussion of the political issues of the day. The speaker of the evening, Rev. George Muller of Illinois, changed the char- acter of the meeting from a political gather- ing to a strike propaganda. He discussed the Btrike in its varlous phases, leaving politics alone. His powerfully drawn pictures of the distress of the laboring men, the exactions of Pullman and the greed of the railroad and corporation managers caught the sympathies of the crowd and every blow he delivered was applauded by cheers. In the judgment of many conservative men present the prob- ability of a strike among all union men in Omaha was greatly cnhanced by the speeches dolivered last evening. Men lukewarm in the cause of labor seemed to catch the in- fection started in Chicago and many who were undectded last evening before they SERI"S 8. The Book of the Builders HISTORY o rhe..

MAGNIFICENTLY 1LLUSTRATEL Address, War Book Dept., Omaha Bee, | cause of the |sment or | ham L OMAHA DAILY BEE:VWEDNESDAY, JULY 11, 184 went to the square returned home cheering the strike The sp by George Magney gan by saying th upon the polith aker of the evening was Introduced Rev. George Muller be- t he had intended to speak of labor, but that owing to the impending crisis he ‘would talk of the strike. He lald down the general proposi- tion that all strikes were the Inevitable re- sult of the inordinate greed and uncontrolled selfishness of men and the purpose of those willing to take advantage of circumstances and conditions was to extort from men under dire necessity as large a portion s possible of the profits of their labor, and, when they can do so, to leave to the producer the smallest portion of their product that will enable the latter to sustain life and so be enabled to continue production to enrich their masters. This, together with the prin- ciple that labor has no rights that eapital is bound to respect, had caused most of the great strike: of modern times. This was the Pullman_strike. Pullman was a man who possessed special opportunities for placing the general public under tribute. He exacted from his pitrons the most ex- tortionate rates, and carried on his business with the most high-handed methods. He pursued the same policy with his employe: From an actual investment of something like $10,000,000 the Pullman company capitalized to the extent of $30,000,000, nd had a surplus of $18,000,000. And yet, at the very tme that the Pullman employes were preparing their grievances for sul mission to the company the Pullman di- rectors were preparing to declare a dividend. Almost on the very day that the employes were denied living wages the Pullman stock- holders divided among themselves a div dend amounting to $600,000 DEBS ON THE BOYCOTT. The speaker then rapidly sketched the history of the present strike. He declared at Debs did not dictate the boycott, but that the boycott was declared by over 400 delegates, and that the vote in its favor was unanimous. The boycott was not the result of dictation, but the declaration of a body representing the dignity of American labor. Pullman incited the controversy, but he did not stop to think of the general public, of the 1,000,000 employes of the railroad companies, of the various brotherhoods, (and here the speaker denounced the Brotherhood of L comotive Engineers as an aristocratic organ- fzation), and of the possibility of embroiling the American people in the difficulty. The Pullmans and the railroads thought of none of the things, but they organized the first sympathetic strike by declding to uphold Duke Pullman. They made the contest a strike of the board of railway managers against the employes for the benefit of that “prince of tyrants, George M. Pullman.” How did they dare do this? Because they believed they would be able to do as they always have been able to do—to keep labor divided .and to use the bludgeon of one or- ganization to beat out the brains of other or- {'.\mulllul\fl They could not do that this time, in spite of the subserviency of some of the so-called labor leaders, who were at present not very far from the city of Omaha, hob- nobbing with railroad managers. These tools of the railroads, who were disgracing themselves by their relations with the rafl- road managers, would continue to do so as long as they lad iron rings in their noses with strings attached, which the corporations could twitch whenever they cared to do so. The speaker then turned his attention to the government and made the air resound with cheers from his auditors by his stric- tures upon the present administration and the United States courts He said the rail- r s were not disappointed in the govern- ment, for when the occasion arose the exec- utive and the judicial branches of the admin- istration, in their infinite and immeasurable wisdom, evolved the principle that Pullman cars were a necessary and essential part of the mail service of the United States, and in the attempt to carry out this principle the courts had issued injunctions more far- reaching than any ever issued by any court in any country. These injunctions were more all-embracing, more absolute and more tyrannical than even the courts of Russia would allow. And on what right, on what law did the courts case these infunctions? On the interstate commerce law, a law that had been riddled and torn to shreds by the very corporations that were now using it for the purpose of trampling labor under foot. God save a country guilty of such damnable iniquity. The ‘speaker then related the facts con- cerning the recent conflicts between the mobs and the troops in Chicago. He quoted the remark of Brigadier General Wheeler, who thanked God that blood had been shed. Whose blood had been shed? One of the killed. was an 18-year-old girl, who was viewing the conflict from the top of a house several blocks away. She was killed and theglust of General Wheeler for blood was parflally satisfied. ~John Burke, another man killed, was identified by the police as a dangerous crook and a criminal of the deepest dye. It was lucky for the country that Burke was Killed before —the United States marshal discovered him or he would have been sworn In as a deputy. Among the wounded were five women, six boys and a baby in its mother's arms. Wheeler's lust for blood must have been fully satisfied when this dangerous and lawles§ baby fell from its mother’s arms. N Judges Jenkins and Dundy. then came in for their share of the general denunciation and the workingmen were warned that even Judge Caldwell's recent decision was looked upon as an experiment by railroad men. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. In closing, the speaker urged laboring men (o stand together. He told them that they could accomplish all their ends by an ap- veal to the ballot and urged them fo vote for no one who was not a friend of labor. He then presented the following resolutions, which were adopted with a mighty shout: Whe , It is the province of govern- ment to protect its citizens in the natural and | ienable rights of life, liberty, and happiness, and in’the performance of its functions it should make no di imination between the- poor and the rich, guarantee- ing to each and all, by virtue of their manhood and womanhood, “irrespeetive of station, the full opportunity to theéir faculties’ for the Individual ana al welfare; and, Certain of govern- Dwn a8 atlons, have con- without limit sought to in- > the rights of the people, having be- come a vast mechanism of inordinate greed, tyranny and lawlessness, disregard- g every human right and subverting the purposes’ of government to the vilest and most destructive ends of a few conscience- less men; and, Wher The president States did, at the dema tions, their alds, and the ¢ g of these extraordinary session on out the hehest public; and Wheicns, ments of g capitol ready perform respective functions, and can by immediate action de- fine the position of the government In its relation o said corporations, and compel their submission to the fundamental prin- ciples upon which the per cy of our na- tional institutio depend; the ore, be It Resolved, That we call upon the congr of the United Stat to provide by immy diute legislation for the adjustment of dif- ferences arising betwe rations en- gaged in o dnte ate oo e and cmployes, and to reco \ the er laws the in, that * f capital and deserves ideration.'

Sam Nedrey then Y the ‘board MOnstros Pullman, pon.the addressed the crowds. He urged everybody to go out on the strike this morning at 7 lock and predicted the success of the strike commenced by Bugene Debs. He denounced in strong terms the la- boring man who would refuse to stand by his brothers in the present controversy, and said that the strike ordered by Sovereign would be general all over the United States. The crowd applauded his utterances liberally and every allusion to the general strike was greoted by cheers, The meeting then closed after the announcement that another mass meeting would be held at the same place some evening later in the week. FEDERAL GRAND JURY CHARGED, Judge Grosseup Gives Them Lengthy In- structions on Their Duty. CHICAGO, July 10.—The special federal grand jury to investigate the strike as- sembled today. It is drawn from the coun- ties of the northern part of the state. When all thé grand jurors had been sworn they wero charged as to their duties by Judgo Grosscup as followss “Gentlemen of the Grand Jury: You have been summoned here to inquire whether any of the laws of the United States within this judicial district have been violated. You have come into an atmosphere and amid occurrences that may well cause rea- sonable men to question whether the laws of the United States are yet supreme. Thanks to resolute manhood and to that enlightened futelligence which percelves the necessity of a vindication of law be- fore any other adjustments are pos- sible, ~the government of the United States s still supreme. You doubt- less feel as I do that opportunities of lite, under preent conditions, are not entirely equal and that changes are needed to ar- rest some of the dangerous tendencies of current industrial life. But neither the torch of the incendlary nor the weapon of the insurrectioni:t, nor the inflamed tongue of him who incites to fire and sword is the instrument to bring about reforms. To the mind of the American people, to the calm, dispassionate, sympathetic judgment of a raco that is not afraid to face deep charges and responsibilities, there has as yet been no appeal. ‘Men who appear as the champions of great changes must first submit them to discusslon—discuss’on that reaches not simply the parties interested, but the wider circles of society—and must be patlent and per- severing “untll the public intelligence has been reached and a public judgment. made up. An appeal to force before that hour is crime, not only against the government of existing laws, but against the cause it- self, for what man of any intelligence sup- poses that any settlement will abide which is induced under the light of the torch or the shadow of an overpowering threat. With the questions behind present occurrences, therefore, we have, as ministers of the law and citizens of the republic, nothing to do. “‘The law, as it is, must first be vindicated before we turn aside to Inquire how law or practice, as it ought to be, can be elfectu- ally brought about. Government by luw is imperiled and that issue fs paramount. The government of the United States has laws, first, to protect Itself and its authority .as | a government; and, secondly, to protect its authority over those agencles to which, under the constitution and’ laws, ‘it “extends govern- mental laws. For the former purpose, namely, to protect itself and its authority as a government, it has enacted ‘that every person who entices, sets on foot, assists or cngages in any rebellion or _insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto,’ and ‘any two or more perfons In any state or territory who conspire to overthrow, put down or destroy by force the government of the United States, or to levy war against them or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take or possess any property of the United States contrary to authority’ shall be visited with certain penalties therein named. INSURRECTION DEFINED. “Insurrection is arising against civil or political authority; the open and active op- position of a number of persons to the opera- tion of the law in a city or a state. Now the laws of the United States forbid, under penalty, any persons from obstructing or re- tarding’ the passage of the malls and make it the duty of the officer to arrest such of- fenders and bring them before the court. If, therefore, it shall appear to you that any person or persons have wilfully obstructed or retarded the mails and that their attempted arrest for such offense has been opposed by such a number of persons as would consti- tute a general uprising in that particular lo- cality and that threatens for the time being the “civil and political authority, then the fact of an insurrection within the meaning of the law has been established, and ‘he who by speech, writing, promises or other induce- ments assiets in setting it on foot or carry- ing it along or gives it aid or comfort’ is suilty of a violation of law. It is not neces- sary that there should be bloodshed; it Is not necessary that its dimensions should be 50 portentious as to insure probable success to constitute an insurrection. It is necesr sary, however, that the rising should be in opposition to the execution of the laws of the United States and should be so formid- for the time being as to defy the au- y of tho United States. When men gather to resist the political or civil power of the United States or to prevent the exe- cutign of its laws and are in such force that the ‘civil authorities are inadequate to put them down and a considerable military force is needed to accomplish that result they be- come insurgents, and every negion who know- ingly incites, aids or abets them, no matter what his motives may he, is likewise an in- surgent. This penally is severe, and, as I have said, is designed to protect the govern- ment and its authority against direct attack. There are otper provisions of law designed to protect th particular agencies which come within governmental control. To these L will now cail your attention “The mails are in the special keeping of the government and laws of the United States. To insure unhindered transmission it is made an offense to ‘knowingly and wil- [II”): obstruct the passage of the mall or any carriage, horse, driver or carrler carrying the same. It is also provided that ‘if two or more persons conspire together to commit any offense agalnst the United States, * * and one or more of such parties do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, all par- ties thereto shall be subject to a penalty Any person wilfully or knowingly doing any act which contributes or s calculated to contribute to obstructing or hindering mail service, who fllingly or knowingly takes part in such act, no matter how trivial, if intentlonal, is greatly in violation of the first of these provisions, and any person who con- spires with one or more persons, one of whom subsequently commits the offense, is likewise guilty of an offense against the United States WHAT CONSTITUTES CONSPIRACY. “What constitutes conspira to hinder or obstruct the mails will be touched upon in connection with the subject %o which I now call your attention. The coustitution places the regulation of commerce between the sev- eral states and between the states and for- elgn nations within the keeping of the United States government. Anything which is de- signed to be transported for commerclal pur- poses from one state to another and is agy tually in transit, and any passenger who Is actually engaged in any such interstate com mercial transaction, and any car or carriage actually transporting or engaged in- trans: porting such passenger or agencles, are subject matter Of Interstate come and any consplracy In, . .re of such trade or commerce s an against the United States. To re limit, confine or abridge restraint may be permanent straint offense a thing. The | as or temporary; it may bajntended to prohiblt, limit or abfidge foffall time or for a day only. The law drawg po distinction in this respect. Commerce 'of this character 18 in- tended to be free, exeept when subject to rogulations by law at_all times and for all periods. Temporary Febtraint is, therefore. intolerable as permanent, and practical restraint by actual pliysical interference as criminal as that which,flows from the ar rangements of busjiess’ and organization. Any phy al interferéhbe, therefore, which has the e t of resfeatning any passenger, car or thing constituthngian element of inte state commerce forms the foundation for this commerce. But to complete this offense, as also that of conspiracy to obstruct the malls, thero must exist In addjtion to the resolve or purpose the elefiient of criminal con spirac “What fs criminal conspiracy? If it shall appear to you that any one or more persons corruptly or wrongfully agreed with each other that the trains carrying the mails and interstate commerce should be forcibly ar- rested, obstructed and restrained, such would clearly constitute a conspiracy. “If it shall appear to you that two or more persons corruptly or wrongfully agreed with each other that the employes of th several railroads carrying the malls and in- terstate commerce should quit, and that suc- cesrors should, by threats, intimidation or violence be prevailed from taking their places, such would constitute a conspiracy. LABOR HAS A RIGHT TO ORGANIZE. recognize, however, the right of labor to organize. Bach man in America i a free men, and 8o long as he does not inter- fere with the rights of others he has the right to do with that which is his what he pleases. In the highe't sense a man’s arm is his own, and aside from contract rela- tions no one but. himself can direct when it shall be raised to work or shall be dropped to rest. The individual option to work or to quit Is the imperishable right of a free man. But the ralsing or dropping of the arm fs tho result of a will that resides in the brain, and much as we may desire that such will should remain entirely independent, there is no mandate of law which prevents their assoclation with others and response to a_higher will. “The individual may feel himself alone unequal to cope with the conditions that confront him, or unable to comprehend the myriad of considerations that ought to con- trol his conduct. He is entitled to the high- est wage the strategy of work or cessation from work may bring, and the limitations upon his intelligence and opportunities may bo such that he does not choose to stand upon his perception of strategic or other conditions. His right to choose a leader, one who observes, thinks and wills for him —a brain skilled to observe his interest— is no greater pretention than that which is recognized in every other department of industry. So far and within rea:onsble ljm- its assoclations of this character are not only lawful, but are, in my judgment, bene- ficial, when they do not restrain individual liberty and are under enlightened and con- sclentious leadership. But they are subject to the same laws as other associations. The leaders to whom are given the vast power of judging and acting for the members are simply, in that respect, their tru:tees; thelr conduct must be judged like that of other trustees, by the extent of their lawful au- thority and the good faith with which they have executed it. No man in his individual right can lawfully demand and insist upon conduct by others which will lead to an in- jury to a third person’s lawful rights. The raiiroads carrying themails and interstate commerce have a right to the service of its employes until each lawfully chooses to quit, and any concerted action upon the part of others to demafid or Insist under any effective penalty or”threat upon their quit- ting to the injury of!the‘mail service or the prompt _transportation - 6f interstate com- merce is a conspirady, unless such demand or insistence is in‘purduance of a lawful authority imposed upon (them by the men themselves and is ‘madd in good faith in the execution of sueli authority. The de- mand and Insistence, utider effective penalty or threat, and injury to. the transportation of the malls or inleritate commerce being proven, the burden falls upon those making the demand or insistenve:to show- lawful au- thority and good faith incits execution. 1 STRIKES MAY BE LEGAL. “Let me {llustrate: Twelye carpenters are engaged in building #‘house. Aside from con- tract regulations, they each can quit at pleas- ure. A thirteenth and fourteenth man, strangers to them, by foncerted threats of holding tliem up to public odlum or private malice, induce them to quit and leave the house unfinished. The latter in no sense represent the former in thelr wishes, but are simply Interlopers for mischief and are guilty of a conspiracy against the employer of the carpenters. But if, upon a trial for such results, they prove that instead of be- ing strangers they are the trustees, agents or leaders of the twelve, with full power to determine for them whether their wage is such that they ought to continue or quit, and that they have in good faith determined that question, they are not thenm, so far as the law goes, conspirators. But if it should fu ther appear that the supposed authority wi used, not in the interest of the twelve, but to further a personal ambition or malice of the two, it would- no- longor justify their conduct. Doing a thing under a cloak ot authority s not doing it with authority. The injury of the two to the employer In such an instance would only be aggravated by their treachery tp the associated twelve, and both employer and employes should with equal insistence ask the visitation of the law. It it appears to you, therefore, applying the illustration to the occurrences that will be brought to your attention, that any two or more persons, by concert, insisted or de- manded, under effective penalties and threats, upon men quitting their employ- ment to the obstruction of the malls or in- terstate commerce, you may inquire whether they did these acts as strangers to these men, or whether they did them under the guise of trustees or leaders of any associa- tion to which these men belonged, and if the latter appears you may inquire whether their acts and conduct in that respect were In the faithful and consclentious execution of their supposed authority .or were simply .a ruse of that authority as a gulse to advance personal ambitlon or satisfy private malice. There is honest leadership among these, our laboring fellow citizens, and there is doubt- less dishonest leadership. You should not brand any act of leadership as done dis- honestly or In bad faith unless it clearly 80 appears. But if it does 5o appear, it any person is shown to have -betrayed the trust of these toiling men, and their acts fall within the definition of crime as I have given it to you, it is alike the Interest, the pleasure and the duty of every citizen to bring upon them swift and heavy punishment. L'wish again, in conclusion, fo Impress upon you the fact the present emergency is to vindicate law. If no one has violated the law under the rules I have laid down it needs no vindica- tion, but if there has been such violation there should be prompt, quick and adequate indictment. I confess the problems which are made the occasion or pretext for the present disturbances ‘laye not received the consideration théy deserved. It is our duty citizens to take them up and by candid and_courageous dischssion ascertain what wrongs exist and wliat Yemedies can be ap- plied.” But neither’ the existence of such problems nor the u(‘ls‘t‘f:(‘u( the public hith- erto to adequately couBider them justified the breaking of law or the Dringing on of law- lessn Let us ffPst' 'restore peace and punish the oftender8' 6f'the law and then the atmosphere will be tlear to think over the claims of those.(whe have real griey- ances.

Deputy United States Marshal Jones and a brace of marshals detailed to keep unwelcome Intruders from the scene of the jury's labors, 8o rapldly have the railroad attorneys piled up Information against ' tne rioters in the United States district attorney's office that several clerks have been placed at work filing it for the convenlence of the jury. To Oltver Pagin, gssistant United States di: trict attorney, will fall the Wuty of drawing the Indictments Mr. Pagin_sald today the jury would have to make haste slowly. “‘We have an appalling lot of Information,” said Mr. Pagin, “but indictments for conspiracy and Inciting to riot are serios things and must be drawn up precisely. Therefore, It has been suggesied thal the jurors re the testimony in & practical way, keeping the ! proper memoranda and finding truo bills from time to time as the information war- rants the coindictment of men for conspiracy against the government When the grand jury began its session there were a dozen witnesses in the waiting room, They were rafllway employes and de- tectives, who were called to tostify to acts ot lawlessess which they had seen.

Mulford, manager of the Western Union Telegraph company, was called before the federal grand jury to pro- duce telegrams sent by President Debs. He refused on the ground that they were privi- leged communications. He was notified by Judge Grosscup to appear with the telegrams, tho latter stating that unless the telegrams were produced Manager Mulford would be sent to Jall.

Cars Moved Without the I by the I CHICAGO, July 10.—For the since Thursday, July 5, & train was sent out of the stock yards at 10:20 a. m. today. The train was made up of forty cars, some of which will go to Boston, and the others to Charleston, at which ports the meat with which they are loaded will be sent to Eu- rope. The tracks at the stock yards had been cleared during the night, and when it was announced this morning that the train was ready to be moved, two companies of the state militia encamped at Dexter park were sent out to protect it. The men were stationed along the tracks within and with- out the yards, and were villified by a great crowd of onlookers. Ther was no attempt to interfere with the movement of the troops and no violence against the troops was attempted. The yards are guarded by a company of mounted hussars, as well as by the special detail of Infantry, and the trac are guarded outside the yards by militia for a distance of three miles to the conne tion with the main lines of the eastern roads. President Egan of the General Managers' assoclation this morning reported trains moving on all roads. Several meat trains were sent out of the stock yards last night and this morning and a number of consign- ments of live stock received. Freight busi- ness Is beginning to be resumed. Some of the tracks used for freight trains only in the yards have not been cleared, but they are being cleared rapidly of the obstructions thrown across the track last week by the rioters. ~ Mr. Egan claimed the outlook to be decidedly encouraging. He said that the railroad companies would continue to ignore Mr. Pullman and his striking employes in the present difficulty. PREDICT A GENERAL RESUMPTION. Several of the general managers predicted that in one or two days more traffic would be resumed in all departments on schedule time. All the roads reported that they had enough men now to operate their lines and that the outlook was brighter than it has been since June 26. Word was sent to the yards this morning that the Northwestern company had a train- Ioad of 6,000 sheep within six hours run of Chicago and that it would be started in it the cars could be handled in the yards. Re- ply was made’ that the lines in the yards were clear. TROOPS WILL REMAIN AS PLACED. After the conference between the mayor and the three generals commanding the brigades now In service In the city Mayor Hopkins sald this afternoon that there would be no immediate change in the disposition of the troops except in cases of emergency. The mayor said he anticipated no reason for additional police protection In the down- town district on account of the projected strike of tomorrow. There was some talk of having the militia do regular patrol service in the streets of the city, but that plan was abandoned. The labor wing of the arbitration com- mittee which called on the Pullman com- pany yesterday called on the mayor this morning, but getting tired of walt- ing, left before they had seen him. They would not state their business. The fact that Assistant Counsel Rankin and Gen- eral Manager Browne of the Pullman com- pany were present in the mayor's office at the time gave rise to a rumor that there might be arbitration. The Pullman of- ficlals, however, came simply to ask for more protection at Pullman. Chief Brennan reported that his reports’in- dicated that all is quiet all over the city. For answer to- President Deb's call upon all his sympathizers to wear white ribbons, miniature United Staates flags are being dis- tributed on the Board of Trade and worn on the lapel. GUARDING THE PULLMAN BUILDING. The Pullman building at Michigan avenue and Adams street, the home of the Pullman Palace Car company, as well as the head- quarters of General Miles and the Depart- ment of the Missouri,U.S.A., is under a strong guard of armed men, said to be Pinkerton detectives. The big building, which is one of the most palatial and elegantly furnished in the city, has been under guard ever since the beginning of the Pullman strike, but within the past twenty-four hours the force of detectives has been Increased threefold. At the present time there are five or six of them at every entrance of the building, guarding the stairways and elevators at every landing. In addition to this they are distributed on all the floors and in every office of the Pullman company. A stranger, especlally should he be not particularly weli dressed, 18 accosted upon entering the build- ing, and if he succeeds In passing the outer guard he is stopped every few feet by a guard. They are everywhere and seem to walk out of every closet and room In_the place. About the offices of Second Vice President Wickes there are at least half a dozen of the detectives, and that official never leaves the office unless he is accompa- nied or followed closely by one or two of them. ~ When questioned, the men deny that they are Pinkertons, but admit that they are guards employed by the Pullman company. MOVED TRAINS OF MEAT. Armour & Co. moved a train of meat cars this morning in spite of a mob that gathered along Loomis and Forty-seventh streets to oppose the train. Stones were thrown and the crowd indulged in hooting, but the ap- pearance of a detachment of troops put an end to the scene of diorder. A train of — sixty- five cars loaded by Swift, Armour and Morris was sent out this morning over the Balti- more & Ohio line guarded by deputies. The stock yards switching company announced this morning that its tracks were clear and that all cars sent to it by outside roads could be handled. Cavalry troops are patrolling Fortleth street and the Wabash tracks and made the movement of cars pos- sible In that direction. For the first time in several days the packing houses did some slaughtering. The receipts at the yards today consisted of fifty cattle and 3,000 sheep. NIOBRARA VETERANS ARRIVE. Adjutant General John Martin, next in command to General Miles, stated this morn- ing that from tho reports received at mill- tary headquarters, the situation is gener- ally improving, since the trouble reported has reached the minimum and the 1all- roads have nearly all resumed busiicss, running regular mail and passenger as well as nearly all suburban and freignt trains. Additional United States troops from Fort Niobrara, Neb., arrived In the city today over the Chicago & Northwesfern road and are encamped at Western avenue, Brighton Park. The detachment is composed of four troops of the Sixth cavalry in command of Colonel Gordon, four troops of cavalry, A, 2, G and H of the Sixth, with 187 men and twelve officers comprising the detachment, The troops of the Third cavalry and Sec- ond and Fourth cavalry, from Fort Riley, Kan., were expected in the city over the Alton early this morning, but Adjutant G eral’ Martin of General Miles' staff was ad- vised by the management of the Alton that they would not arrive until this afternoon. This detachment consists of four troops of the Third cavalry and three batteries, two of the Second artillery and one Hotchkiss battery, riding in three sections, making a total train of fifty-three cars, including the stock cars for the horses, flat cars for the lieavy ordnance guns and coa and sleep- ars for the officers and men. The cavalry Is in command of Major Morris of the Third cavalry, and Major Randolph of the Third | artillery is in command of the batteries. The ast Interference ement. first time artillery consists of nine officers and 180 men, and the cavalry has twelve officers and 196 men, FIRED A BRIDGE AT HAMMOND, arly this morning steikers fired the Monon bridge across the Little Calumet river at Hammond, and before the flames were extinguished two rail lengths of the trestlo woro destroyed. In consoquence trains on that line were delayed. Lew Wal- Jace, Jr., of Indianapolls was arrested last night at Hammond on a charge of per- sonating a United tes marshal. Wallace displayed a star and ordered all saloons closed. Before Judge Morelock this morn- ing he was fined $10 and costs. He left for Chicago. At about midnight Hungarians gathered at the Grand Trunk tracks, and bofore the authorities were warned had torn up sev- eral hundred feet of track. A company from the iSecond regiment, ch crowd and dispersed It after firing shots. No one was hurt so far as known a crowd of Poles and Ashland avenue and LOUCAL KNIGHTS OF LABOR. Mr. Cohen Says They Wo to Quit, M. Cohen, district master workman for Omaha, had not yet recelved the general order to strike from Grand Master Work- man Sovereign at midnight. He stated, however, that he had been ap- prised urofficially that the order was coming and that he expected to recelve it by tele- graph any moment. As soon as he received it he would issue a direct call ordering out all the Knights of Labor under his jurisdiction, comprising the cities of Omaha, South Omaha, Florence and Lincoln, Personally Mr. Cohen seemed to be warmly in favor of a general strike. He stated that he had given his whole time to th ation of the subject for the past two d and that he had made a personal canvass of many of the industrial establishments of the city for the purpose of ascertaining the sentiments of the Knights of Labor in re- gard to the situation. As a result of his inquiries Mr. Cohen feels satisfiod that nearly all of the Knights of Labor in this district, to the number of nearly 4,000, will refuse to go to work when the call comes. As to the number of knights in the employ of the several railroad companies centering in Omaha, Mr. Cohen was unable to state with any degree of positiveness. He said there was some question as to the railroad men going out, but he intimated that there was some ragvement on foot which was to be sedulously guarded from the public until the opportunity for its development becan ripe. As to the other classes of knights he was certain that they were all anxious to enter upon a sympathetic strike, and that they were able to stand the strike soveral weeks without any serious impairment of the finances of the order. But there are surfaco indications that Mr. Cohen’s order to quit work will not meet with the enthusiastic reception anticipated. Had the order been issued last Saturday night it is likely that a large majority of the Omaha labor unions would have gheerfully obeyed it. At that time the strike of the A. R. U. in Chicago seemed about to be successful. It looked then as it a general strike was all that was needed to insure a victory and that such a strike would be of short duration. the situation in Chicago in other large cities affected by the Pullman boycott scems to have materially changed since last Saturday. In the first place, the mobs of vicious characters who do not be- long to the labor organizations, but who seized upon the strike as a prétext for their acts of violence, have been thoroughly cowed by the severe punishment administered to them by the state and regular troops. The members of the A. R. U. cannot cnforce the boycott by peaceful means and they will not resort to force. The blockade has been raised and trains of all kinds are beginning to run with something that approaches their old-time regularity. The Knights of Labor in Omaha seem to realize this fact as quickly as anybody. They begin to sce that a sympathetic strike will hardly be successful. Consequently they are beginning to discuss the matter of a local strike with considerable reluctance. Tt is stated on good authority that the Knights of Labor employed on the Unfon Pacific will not obey the order to strike. A canvass of the packing houses in South Omaha reveals the fact that a large majority of the men employed there are not in favor of a strike. The street rallway men have no grievances and they are not well organized. The other organizations are equally reluctant. The sentiment that a sympathetic strike at the present time would be useless seems to be rapidly spreading in Omaha and nothing but unusual pressure will turn the tide the other way. Tohn B. Schupp, president of the Omaha Central Labor union, said when told of the contemplated order for all to strike that, as the Central Labor union would meet in reg- ular session this evening, he would take no action toward calling an earlier meeting, as he did not know what the general sentiment was in the city regarding a strike. He would not predict the action likely to be taken at the meeting this evening and said that lie was willing to do whatever the Cen- tral Labor union delegates wanted to do. His action would be governed entirely by the action of the union. Other members of the union expressed themselves as being satisfied with the sentiments of President Schupp and they did not think this a time to act hastily. It 1s current talk that if all railrond men were to quit work the various trades and labor assemblies would not hesitate to walk out, which would bring a crisis, but as the rallroad men in these parts keep on works ing other trades hesitate to anticipate them. Superintendent of Motive Power McCon- nell of the Unlon Pacific, in discussing the report that the Knights of Labor would be called out all over the country, said to a Bee man that he didn't believe the members of the order on the Union Pacific would go out. “While not certain as to the number of knights connected with the Union Pacific at this point, 1 believe I would be safe in ‘aying that they do not number more than 200 members, The great proportion of the membership is found at the shops, divided among the blacksmiths, foundrymen and ma- chinists. Time was when this organization Was particularly strong on the system, Se retary Corbin at one time making the state ment that it represented 6,000 men. But with the rize of blacksmiths, machinists and other unions the men have larely left the Knights of Labor and have identified themselves with these unions.” Asked if the knights should go out at the shops whether it would serlously interfere With the running of the shops, Mr. McCon- nell replled that he thought they would be able to run without them. ¥ SUPPORTS DEBS. d Obry an Or HOLT COUN Supervisors Adopt & Set of Resolutions Do~ nouncing Pullnan and Cleveland.

The commanders of the Rock Island and Galesburg companies sent a long communi- cation by wire to Adjutant General Orandorft detalling the situation. The substance of the dispatch was that the miners have so intimidated all classes of the people with threats of what will happen after the troops have been removed that every obstacle ls placed in the pathway of the soldiers and all classes act in a hostile manner. Mayor Jackson, who is evidently terrorized, ordered the soldiers out of town this mornin but they refused to obey. The telegraph oper- ator was frightened aw and one of the soldiers Is at the key. The storekeepsr have been made to refuse to sell supplies to the troops and the latter have, in consequence, taken possession of tho company's store, soldfers acting as custodinns in place of the terrorized clerks. More troops have been asked for Company C of the Fifth regulars com- manded by Captain Conrad came into col- lisfon with the mob at this place today, nud after patiently enduring volley after volley of stones, fired into the mob, killing two men and wounding several others. The causualties aro as follows: Dead DOMINIC BARTMER, shot through head, killed instantly. JOH NSALOLI, shot through the breast. Injured Walter Crefory, deputy ribs broken, badly bruised Lush Kolp, deputy, shot in the thigh. 8. D. Powell, deputy, shot twice in face. Unknown Italian_ rioter shot by Powell. Unknown rioter, hand and arm badly lacer- ated by bayonet while militia was claring the streets The fight occurred at 4:30 this when a Rock Island train bearing the troops pulled into the depot. At the time of its arrival a large mob of Poles, Lithuanians and Huns was gathered upon the hill over- looking the depot. As the men filed out on tho depot platform they were greeted with a chorus of yells and the stones rained #wn around them. Captain Conrad raised his hand and called to the mob to ci o throw- ing stones. It obeyed him an instant, but ng the troops remain passive, regained its viclousness and sent volle yafter volley of stones at the soldiers, at the same time drawing closer and becoming more threaten- ing. Captain Conrad order his men to aim, and as more stones came at the regu- lars, he gave the word to fire. The mob broke when the fire began and has not as- sembled since.
