can Railway union men quit this after
noon on the Louisville and Nashville.
The order went into effect at 3:22

sworn in to protect property.
Chicago, July 9. The war cloud
which has hung over this city and this
land for the past ten days shows distinct
signs of lifting. Instead of stories of ad
ditional railroads tied up at various
points throughout the country, to day's
dispatches, p.lmost vtichout exception,
bring advices of strikers returning to
work and an increased resumption of.
tramc, amounting in some places to a re
turn to normal conditions.
The day in Chicago has passed without
a serious conflict between the rioters and
the armed forces now on duty here.
The feature of the day has been the ac
tion early this morning, after an all-,
night session, of the federated trades
unions of Chicago in deciding to call out
all classes of Jabor on Tuesday afternoon
at 4 o'clock, unless George M. Pullman

not known to the public, Grand Master
Workman Sovereign, of the Knights of
Labor, and his advisers subsequently de
cided to postpone the general walk-out
and paralytic stroke, which they pro
posed to inflict upon the business of Chi
cago, until 7 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing. Late "this afternoon, however, the
cap-
larity and freight has been cared for
withstood results.
At St. Louis, Kansas City and Denver
it was reported that railroad, business
had been returned to normal conditions.
Nashville also reported an improvement.
About the only points at which the strike
managers showed any gain were in the
partial walkout of firemen at Fort Scott,
Kans., the freightmen on the Kanawha
and Michigan, at Charleston, W. Va..
and the strike of the American Railway
union men on the Big Four at Mat toon,
Ills. It will thus be seen that at the
leading railroad centres the strikers have
made perceptible losses, while their gains
are at comparative! y unimportant points.
The regulations which prevailed in the
Government build iDg to-day were a near
approach to martial law. Deputy mar
shals were stationed on every floor and
everybody was challenged who could not
show that they had business in the build
ings. To-morrow's sunrise will see in
this city 1,000 more Federal troops than
there were this moring. This, with the
forces already in the field, will suffice, it
is believed, to-morrow to make a further
betterment in the conditions m this city,
and the mobilization of troops and ma
rines at San Francisco, and of regulars at
other points on the Pacific coast, will
suffice, in all probability, to start traffic
on the trans-continental lines to-morrow.
Indianapolis, July 9 Gen. Harrison
to-day mildly criticised the proclamation
of President Cleveland regarding the rail
road 8trikeat Chicago. He said it was
the first time in the history of th5 United
States Government that a President had
ordered Federal troops into a State with
out the request of the Governortof such
State and over his protest. He? did not
question his right to do so, however.
JLhe backbone of the strike is broken
here. All trains are running and the
roads claim the- are less than 100 men
short.
Battle Creek, Mich., July 9. A
meeting of engineers of the Chicago and
Grand Trunk here this afternoon decided

Birmingham, Ala., July 9. The situa
tion in Birmingham is decidedly im
proved. All passenger trains left j with
Pullman cars attached. All roads suc
ceeded in putting out freight trains, and
the indications are that by to-morrow
all the roads will be sending out freight
in every direction. Detachments of the

that he would leave New lork for Chi-
cago to-morrow evening. In view of
j this, it is Dot believed that the federated

Cleveland, Ohio, July 9. A con
ference was held this morning between
the managers of all local railroads, Mar
shal Haskell and the city authorities.
The railroad officials stated that they had
all the men necessary to operate trains terfering with the running of passenger
if they were guaranteed protection from trains. All the men on all of the other
the strikers. Assurances of protection roads are at their posts and trains, both
were given ana tne omciais announced ireight and passenger, are running ree-u
that they would start trains at 6 -o'clock larly. The perishable freight that had
and a detachment of the Gulf ! City
Guards were sent there this afternoon.
News from there to-night by special to
the Age Herald reports all quiet.
Chattanooga, Tenn., July 9. All
fears of a strike at Chattanooga are gone.
The only trouble here now is the strike
of the firemen on the Alabama Great
bout hern road, and that is not at all in

Another feature to be noted in con

federated labor is the fact which was
developed that there was in the meeting
a large and influential conservative
element whose action had practically
blocked the plans of the more hot-headed
leaders until the latter, in the excite
ment consequent upon the reading of
President Cieyeland s proclamation, were
enable to stampede them and carry the
strik resolution. Therefore, there is
reason to believe that even if the order
for a general strike finally goes forth,
many of those to whom it is directed
will decline to obey it. So that with the

Aldermtn McGilien again urged that

intimated that a corporation vhich

willing to meke some concessions for the

Chicago, July 9. It has been reported
that it is the intention of the American
of
the wage question on all railroads where
they are organized before they agree to
the final settlement of the present strike.
President Uebs said last night that the
report of a complication of greivances
now existing wa?. in part, true. "In
some parts our local unions will demand
a re-adjustment of the wage scale before
they return to work," he said. "But this
demand will not be general, nor is
it made a part of the issue in
the present struggle. It is not
true that either myself or any
of the officers of the union has
sounded local unions on such a question.
In many places, however, where the
wage scale has been lowered so far that
the men cannot lonirer stand it. the
ter discussing it the following telegram
was sent:
"To tfkgene V. Debs. j
"We hereby extend our most heartfelt
sympathy to your organization ! and
hereby iadcrse the coun e you have
adopted in endeavoring to better the con
dition of the workingmen of this country.
WThile we deplore the burning and de
struction of property, we believe ; that
you and your organization are not re
sponsible for such acts of lawlessness."
St. Louis, July 9. The strike situa
tion among the roads to-day is in line
with the improvement noted yesterday.
On the west side of the river every road
and yard has a full complement of men
and the handling of cars on shippers'
private switches has been resumed.
The passenger service is also on
a normal basis, except for the
few duplicate trains not now run
ning for lack of business. On the
east side much larger forces of yard men
and switchmen are at work and the re
turn of strikers is increasing. On this
side all freight offered is handled except
for the Louisville and Nashville and the
Mobile and Ohio, which have diffi
culties with their road crews, now, how
ever, in a fair way for adjustment. ;

Slowly but steadily, calmly and cer
tainly, as befits the supreme power id a
gieat nation, throughout all that wide
stretch of domain where evil .disposed
persons are taking advantage of an ex
ceptional industrial condition, to incite
violence and bloodshed, the Federal Gov
ernment is working to the accomplish
ment of that for which its power was del
egated to it, by the preservation of order
and the safety of life and property. At
Chicago, in conjunction with the State
and the municipality, it has already
brought peace out of a condition of war
which prevailed last week. At San
Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles and
various points in Colorado and Washing
ton, where the unruly are creating
havoc, it has let loose the dogs of
war, in token of its intention to have
peace, even if it has to fight for it. In
this city, the military army havinir ac
complished its purpose, the judicial army j
to-day took up the orderly course of its
auue8. wnicn inciuae the hxmg upon the
guilty parties the measure of the crime
and the fitting of the punishments
thereto. The first step in this procedure
was the assembling of the Federal grand
iury and the delivery of the charge to it
by Judge Grosscup, not to be turned
aside.from an exhaustive inquiry into
the questions which it has undertaken
to pass upon by mere technicalities. The
effectiveness of the charge was evinced

which had been transmitted over its
lines. The court held that public safety
was paramount tcprivate rights, and so
ordered that the dispatches be produced.
That it is the intention of the Govern
ment not to be too long about the work
in hand was shown from the fact that
the footseps of the telegraph official who
brought the dispatches had scarcely
ceased to echo aloDg the corridor leading
to the grand jury room when that body
filed into Judge Grosscup's court and an
nounced that it had found a true bill of
indictment. Pending the arrest of the
person thus put under the ban of the
law, his name remained locked in the
breast of the lord high executioner, and
the public was allowed to draw its own

That President Debs was the man. none
doubted, and subsequent developments
justified the surmise.
Touching the outlook for the future,
outside of Chicago, it may be said that
to-day's dispatches were almost uniform
in tenor to the effect that normal condi
tions had already been restored or that
they were rapidly approaching that
state, and there seems to be no reason to

pointed by the mass meeting of trades
unions held Sunday night to arrange for
the arbitration of "the Pullman bojeott,
failing to'do which by 4 o'clock to-day a
general strike was to Be ordered, reported
this afternoon that their efforts had
failed and the trades unions were left to
carry out the decision of the meeting
and declare a general strike. The strikers
declare that the general strike will be
declared within twenty-four hours, the
strike involving not les3 than 150,000
men.
The statements emanating from the
General Managers' association, announc
ing the gradual resumption of the
through passenger train service have
evoked numerous inquiries from I the
East as to whether these conditions were
beicg brought about by the return of
the strikers, by the securing of new em
ployes, or by the aid of the Government.
A categorical query on this point ; was
submitted to the officials of the General

official reply was returned:

the order of Grand Master Workman
Soveriegn, of the Knights of Labor, call
ing on all members to strike and all who
sympathize with the Pullman strik
ers all over tne country to come
out with them will follow quickly. How
generally these orders will be obeyed is
problematical to a good extent. Their
effect has been already discounted by the
stagnation of business, and it u known
that some of the longest headed of the
labor leaders believe that action lias been
postponed too long to be fully effectiye.
At sunset to-morrow this nation will
probably know whether the situation is
one of a crisis or a collapse.
The plan of the leaders for to-morrow
is to call out first all organized labor in
Chicago, and then to proceed from town
to town until the entire country ia par
