Chicago, July 12. The following tele

this afternoon by the American Federa

"The gravity of the industrial situa

that the present industrial crisis may be
brought to an end, alike to the advan

W. Wl Erwin, who has been secured
to defend President Debs and the direc
tors of ! the. American Jtau way union,
arrived m the city to-day from St. Paul,
in company with "Gen.' J. p. vxxey,
of Massillon. O. Mr. Erwm said he had
not sufficient knowledge of the situation
Wm. Burt, both prominent rhembers of
the Railway union. An engineer who
was on the train saw these men just be
fore the train left the track and pointed
them out to the marshals. Both were
heavily armed. The others, were ar
rested in the city last night. Onei was
A. W. Greenlaw, a machinist, who was
conspicuous in the recent violence of the
strikers towards. Marshal Baldwin and
his men. The fourth was A. P. Wardein,
who was a delegate to the national con
vention of American Railway union at
Chicago, just before the strike waV
ordered. He is the most important
prisoner of the four, f He is charged with
murder, in addition . to obstructing the
mails. All four prisoners were taken
to the county jail. , Justice He vins i fixed
bail of Bodmer, Burt and Greefllaw at
$2,000 each. Warden, however, wus not
admitted to bail. The State will prob
ably charge him with train wrecking,
which is punishable by death. j j
In. the search for arms thirty-seven
rifles were found at j the strikers' head
quarters, and large quantities of ammuni
tion, several shotguns, sabres and seven
jute sacks containing as many hundred
pounds of slugs, each an inch long arid
half an inch in diameter. These are sup
posed to have been intended for use as
canister shot in cannon. A bakery
known as a hotbed of Anarchy w$s
searched," and several 1 revolvers !wer6
picked up aroaund on the floors, having
apparently ben discarded by owners for
fear of -personil search. ; M
There is a small dynamite scare in
town. Previous to the arrival of the
regulars, the strikers threatened to mine
the depot buildings with dynamite, ahd
search is being made for it. There was

Tiie railroads centering in Chicago
claim that they are able to hire all the
help they need. At the office 01 tne gen
eral managersthe estimate is made that
18,000 or; 20,000 men, identined wun odi
cago railroads' in 'the Chicago territory,
went onp-the strike. The employment
agency created by the association has
hired 2,500 to 3,000 men and distributed
them amone the railroads, and the com
panies acting on their own resppnsibility
have hired probably double that number,
making about 7,500 to 8,000 in all.
Gem Manager Egan said to-day; "The
railroads at this juncture are in much
the position of a merchant whose place
of business1 has been burned down. He
rebuilds at once but reconstruction takes
time, arid when he is ready to begin
business : again it yill take some little
time additional for the public to beeome
accustomed to the hew order of things
and feel a full sense of restored confi
dence as of yore. The railroads have
plenty of! help 10 take care of traffic now
offering As this traffic enlarges they
will need more mien. That they will be
able to get all the ' men they want is a
proposition that does not admit of a
shadow of a doubt., They could double
their force in forty-eight hours if there
should! be occasion for such rapid in

noon with about fifty regular soldiers,
who expect to be stationed there to do
guard duty. The party returned at 1
o'clock this af teanoon with six prisoners
captured on the bridge. The deputy mar

that there was nothing suspicious in the
conduct of the men. The track was
clear to the bridge, a distanceof four
miles, but before they reached the tres

Chicago, July 12. The most import
ant move made to-day by the American
Railwav union was the conference be
tween the executive board and W. W.
Erwin, the attorney who successfully
defended the Homestead strikers. The
plan of the executive bday.of the Union
is to endeavor to bring about the indict
meat of the general managers for con
spiracy and for being equally respon
sible for the obstruction of the mails
on the ground that the general managers
met and organized for the purpose of
defeating the strikers before the boycott
and strike Mr. Erwin was to have
given a decision this afternoon, put
"afterwards notified jthe board that he
would not be able: to 1 give a definite
opinion before to-morrow. It is possible
that when President 'Debs is actually on
trial that "Col. R. G. Ingersoll will be the
principaj counsel, j '
The union officials' placed great weight
to-day on the meeting of the American
Federation of Labor. The first move
unfriendly to the Btrike wa3 the refusal
to admit Grand Master Workman Sov
ereign to the meeting. President Debs
and the Union leaders have been greatly
worried all day about the action of the
Federation and as per agreement,
adjourned their meeting early in order
to be at the call of the federated orders.
The call did not come in time and Vice
President Howard was sent to the Briggs
house to ascertain the difficulty. He
returned with an uncertain report and
the matter is yet in doubt. A meeting
was finally arranged for7 8 o clock to
night. The unfriendly y action by the
Federation will mean a great reduction
in the local force oi, tha grades strikers
unless the unions conclude to act fpr
themselves. "

A LABOR COMMISSIONER
To be Appointed by the President to
Investigate the Cause of the Strike.
Washington, July 12. President
Cleveland informed a committee repre
senting organized labor this afternoon
that he would in the near future appoint
a commission of three members, of
whom tbe United States commiioner of
labor shall be chairman, under Chapter
1,063 of the laws of 1888, to inquire j into
and investigate thoroughly the cause
leading upon the present labor disturb
ances of the country. . . - i
Thet President listened to the labor
men present" theirviews and then told
them that as. a" condition precedent to
making such appointment, all strikers
must be called off ; by organized labor j
and all violence and mob rule cease. He
informed them that law and order must !
be restored before he took any steps look
ing in the direction of ascertaining the
causes that produced the present condi
tion affairs. United States troops would
still be retained in disturbed sections to
see that the orders of the United States
courts were enforced; Inter-State traffic
must be resumed and peace; restored
throughout the country. The labor com-
mitlm was given to understand that this
commission would be appointed apart
from any demands made by the strikers
for arbitration. In fact, the commission
would have, under the law, no power to
arbitrate, but simply to investigate and
report its conclusions to the President
and to Congresss. ! ' ' 1
Private Secretary Thurber late to
night authorized the following in regard
to the President s intended appointment
of the commission: The law passed on
October 1, 1888, especially authorizes the
appointment of such a commission and
defines its duties. It provides that the
commissioner of labor shall be chairman
and that two other commissioners shall be
appointed by the President. It appearing
to the President that the parties were en
titled to such a commission under the
law he determined to organize it for the
purpose of investigation. The! commis
sioners to be appointed by him have! not

Chicago, July 10. Plots to blow up
the Pullman - building, on Michigan'
avenue, have been discovered by secret
service men, and the vigilance . of- em
ployes in the menaced structure has pre
vented two attempts on the fives of Pull

consequent loss of life, ; have .been dis

the Government are now engaged i in
securing evidence necessary to expose
the entire plans of the conspirators
against this, and other buildings, j '
The first attempt was frustrated at the
door of Vice President Wickes' private

To-day's features were: At first there

was not so bullish as some had expected.
But later onprices 'advanced, as there
