Chicago, July 8.—It Is admitted on
all sides tonight tUttt the proclamation
Issued at'midnight by President Cleve
land Iras done more toward clearing
the atmosphere and bringing the mob
element to a sense of Us responsibility
than conld have been accomplished by
all the self-projected conciliation and
mediation committees in a mouth. The
proclamation wns printed in the Pol
ish, Bohemian and and English lan
guages on a broad sheet, at the ofllco
of a weekly paper, lu the heart of the
lawless district, and distributed by
ten, of thousands in the Poiish-Bohe-
both by the American Railway Union of.
riclals and the authorities.
Chicago, July 9.—The war cloud that
bus ovenauug this city and this laud
; .r the past ten days sbows distinct
signs of lifting. Instead of stories of
additional tie-ups at various points
throughout the country, today’s dis
patches, almost without exception,
bring advices of strlkzers returning to
work and increased resumption of
traffic, am.juming in some places to a
return to normal conditions.
The day in Ohioago has passed with
out serious conflict between the riot
ers and the armed forces now on duty
here.
The feature of the day has been tile
action, early this morning, after an
nil-night session, of the federated
trades unions lu Chicago, in deciding to
oall out all classes of labor on Tues
day afternoon at 1 o'clock, unless Geo.
.M. Pullman should have agreed before
tile meridian of that day to settle the
differences between his company and
bis striking employes, by arbitration
or otherwise. For reasons not known
to the public, Grand Master Workman
Sovereign of the Knights of Labor and
hts advisors subsequently decided to
postpone the general walk-out, and the
paralytic stroke wbtoh they proposed
to Inflict on the business of Chicago,
until 7 o'clock Wednesday morning.
Late this afternoon, however, tile an
nouncement was nude that President
Samuel Gompeers .of the American
Moderation of Labor had catted a
meeting of the executive commlttoe of
tile organlatlou to be held In this city
on Thursday, and that he would leave
for Chicago tomorrow evening. In
view of this. It Is not beli.ved tbit the
federated trades of Chicago will take
precipitate action before consultation
with him. President Gompeers says It
will bo impossible, to decide, on a line
of asftton to be pursued before Thurs
day, and probably, If It Bhould be flual-
lyrcsolved to declare a gencnl strike
of all tile combined forces, l; could not
be put Into effect before Friday morn
ing. In this connection, the interestlg
question arises whether or not. If Pres-
nrUan settement, for n spaoe of ttfQl ijWM——Wi■■■PPM
.awatt-mjimi t fr wins iHird f/>r Hu* for. JdWt Gonr^eera allows Mmseif to be
squaw miles. It was 'hard tor the tor tro £ Ni(v York t0 Chlcae0 by
-oigners tin oomprehend M> teehnleal
purport, but the very fact that) it mas
a proclamation freon the President of
the United Sttutes forbidding them to
congregate in public highways and or
dering them to remain ut home bad
about the same effect us the sign of
the manual of the czar upon u ukase
addressed to the rasSdentB of some in
terior town In Russia or Pohind.
Pc was enough tor the Anarchists
that che message conveyed a warring,
and even if they oouid not exactly com
prehend Just whatt the warning was, It
was enough that it came from and bore
the signature of the president of the
United States. The men and women of
determined character and desperate In
clinations who on Saturday, during the
conflict with the military, would have
lorn their antagonists llnib from lib
butt tor the sure aim of the rifles and
the prodlng of tlie bayonets, read in
their native tongue the proclumitton to
which was nJtxached the name of Grover
Cleveland and concluded that ft would
he better to remain Indoors. What, in
other (Harlots, the oomlbined force of
regulars, state militia. United States
marshals and cdty police had been una
ble to accomplish with guns, bayonets.
Pistols and regulation, guns, was
brought about In the.fwinkHnB of an
eye when the foreigners had digested
tlie appeal of Grover Cleveland.
President Debs and the officials of the
union were enjoined today by the
Un'Jtcd States court In Kansas as well
os Ohio.
It was also announced that the presi
dent's proclamation yesterday forbade
any meriting of Strikers. Grand Mas
ter Workman Sovereign of the Knights
of Labor attended a meeting this af
ternoon. which Was suppressed upon
on order from the chief of police to the
owners of She 'hall, at Forty-seventh
and Princeton streets, and to the lead
ers themselves. The Object of the
meeting was to organise a local < as
sembly, but, the medtlng was ad
journed without taking action.
Officials of the union are expecting
arrest hourly and are now prepared
for it. At a legal conference held to
day a line of defense, was mapped out
and the question of' applying tor a
writ of certiorari compelling the au
thorities to take cognizance of the
faot, as they claim that the roads are
deliberately delaying the mails rather
than run without Pullman coaches.
The Intention is to carry the matter
Into the courts and secure, If possible,
an injunction forbidding the roads to
hold train* on account of the absence
or cutting off of Pullman cars. Another
plan of attacks in the courts Is to se
cure the affidavits of receivers of de
layed malls and also the testimony Of
railway employes, that the malls have
been delayed solely by the roads,
which refused to run out trains with
out Pullman ears. It is to be shown
that the Pullman cars are the cause
of delay, and a ruling will be sought
to compel the roads to run mail and
passenger trains without palace cars.
A large army of legal talenk hau been
secured, and It Is understood that a
number of leading attorneys of the
city have volunteered their services.
The impending arrest of the leaders
has mads all of the siibordinaite offi
cials cautious in their remarks and ex.
press ions. /
No meeting of the executive board waa
held today, that la,'no regular meettng.
No regular ’meeting will be held from
this on. Grand Master Sovereign and
Member Martin of the executive board
attended a eecret conference this after
noon. at wblcb the situation was dis
cussed by the Knights of Labor. A Anal
derision to stlke in numbers all over the
country -was finally adopted. .Mr. Sov
ereign said tonight that every Knight of
Labor In the United States would go
when called upon to assit the strikers.
One more day of suspense and the city
will either be restored to a peaceful con
dition or riot and anarchy will run loose
In the streets. This is the universal ver
dict as to the outcome or the attempt
at arbitration with the Pullman com
pany which failed today, and the unani
mous agreement of nil labor organisations
Is to strike in sympathy with the Pull
man employes and American Railway
t'nion men, unless a settlement of the
•trike and boycott Is effected before
o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
The rumors have been flying today
to the probable action of the strikers a
the authorities. It is not doubted that
over 100,000 men will obey the call to strike
as agreed upon at the meeting. Only one
union has not agreed to strike, and that
Is the printers'.
The gravity of the situation is becoming
rabn-unlon engineers and firemen, his I
Ivls!': v will net be of particular profit.I
One labor leader in Chicago said today
that If he did so he might as well stay
[In New York.
Another feature to be noted In non-1
Inection with the molding of Chicago’s
federated labor Is the fact, which was
developed, that there was In the meet
ing a hirgo and Influential conservative
element whose action had practically
blocked the plans of the more hot
headed loaders until Ihe latter, In the
excitement consequent upon the read
ing of President Cleveland’s proclama
tion, were enabled to stampede them
end carry the strike resolution. There
fore there Is reason to believe that
even If this order for a strike finally
go’s forward, many of those to whom
It is directed will decline to obey It. So
that with the men already Idle by the
effect of the tie-up, the walk-out will
not be nearly so Important ns antici
pated by the lenders.
■What effect, if any, the action, of
President "Wicks of the Pullman Com
pany (bis morning In refusing In the
most -positive manner to even meet a
committee -to consider the question of
arbitration wBl have .upon the final
decision of the labor leaders and'thelr
followers remains to bo seen.
■At 2 p. m. a Joint committee of the
city council and of the federated
trades unions called upon Mr-Wicks
and asked him to’ consent to the ap
pointment of five citizens, whose posi
tions will not he those of arbitrators,
but to determine whether or not the
Pullman Company has anything to
arbitrate. The committee as proposed
wik to consist of two citizens chosen
by the PuT.man Company, two by the
circuit Judges and one by these four.
President Wicks slated at the outset
that arbitration was impossible, but
listened while Alderman DIoGlMcn,
chairman of -the committee, talked of
the gravity of -the situation and urged
that the company take steps looking
to an amicable settlement of the strike.
At the close of the Interview Mr.
Wicks retired with his attorney, and
returning, after a brief consultation de
clared that the company would not
receive the proposed committee.
PULLMAN WON'T ARBITRATE,
(Alderman McGlHen again urged that]
the company receive the committee
and Intimated that a corporation that
derived such benefit from the govern*
ment as the Pullman Company should
be willing -to make some concession
for the welfare of tho city and state. 1
"We have nothing to arbitrate,'' Mr.
Wicka -replied. “We cannot receive
such a committee.”
Tonight’s action of the city council
In respect to President Cleveland's or
der bringing federal troops to Chicago
was forestalled by a large number of
indorsements of his action sent him
by prominent business men of the city.
The list of signatures included those
of aE the prominent merchants, man
ufacturers and bankers of Chicago.
Touching the situation, it may be said
that in Chloagq the roada were all do
ing better than on any previous day
since the strike began. Passenger
trains were moving with more or less
regularity and moving of freight has
heeh carried forward with good result.
At St. Louis, Kansas City and Denver
It was reported that railroad business
had about returned to Its normal con
ation. Nashville also reported an Im
provement. 'About the only points at
which the strike -managers showed any
gain were In the partial walk out of
firemen at Fort Scott, Kan.; the
freight men on the Kanahau and Mich
igan. Charleston, W. Va.. and tho
strike of the American Railway union
men on the Big Four at Mattoon. It
w-J.1 thus toe seen that at the lealllng
railroad centres the striker* have made
perceptible losses, while their gains are
at comparatively unimportant points.
The regulations which prevailed, in
the government building today were a
near approach to martial law. Deputy
marshals were stationed on every floor
and everybody was clxrtlenged who
could not Show that he had business in
the building. Tomorrow's sunrise will
see tn this olty 1,000 more federal troops
than there were here thla morning.
These, with tho forces already In the
field, will suffice, it Is believed, tomor
row to make far better the conditions
in this city, and the mobilization of.
troops and rftarines at Ban rrandaco
and of regulars at other points on ttie
Pacific coast wlti suffice. In all proba
bility. to start traffic on the trans
continental lines tomorrow.
NO CHANCE TO ARBITRATE. H
Chicago, July S.—The council cont
end discover if there bo grounds for ar
bitration. He moved that it be the
sense of the meeting that such a com
mittee should be selected; that two
members be named by the Pullman
Company, two by the judges of the cir
cuit c'ourt ot Cook county and the fifth
member to be named by the four no
chosen by the meeting.
It was voted unanimously to adopt
the proposition and. a committee com-
pbsed of Aldermen McGltlen, Mariner,
MWhoefer and Poere and Delegates El-
deririn, EIro and Dingholun were - ap
pointed to lay the proposition before
Vice President Wlckes of the Pullman
Company iur hla m, oii-un.- or tvj.-e-
ttoai, and to report at 4:30 p. m.
The officials of tile Pullman Company
absolutely refused to entertain the prop
osition made by the folnt oommlttee
and there' seems nothing left to pre
vent the great strike of ail Industries
-arranged fqr twenty-four hours hence.
A FEATURE OF THE STRIKE.
Chicago, July 9.—Et has been report
ed that It 1s tile Intention of the Ameri
can Railway Union to torce a settlement
of wages on all railroads where they are
organized before they agree to the final
settlement of tho present Strike. Presi
dent Debs said that the report of the
eompliootlbn of grievances now exist
ing was in part true. "In some parts
our local unions will demand a read
justment of the wage scale before they
return to work." he said, “but this de
mand will not be general, nor Is It made
n pant of tho issue of the present strus-
g*e. It Is not true that any officers of
the union have sounded local unions vn
such questions. In many plncew. how
ever. -the wage zouile has been lowered
so far that ithe men cannot longer stand
It. The uhions will not return to work
until they get some satisfaction In that
tine. However, our Agist now Is for the
downtrodden Pullman employes, and wo
cannot lot any other desires interfere
in any way with the success'of our
fight Per them.”
In a considerable number of Instances
Ills announcement of recent accessions
to the strike ranks has been accompa
nied with the news that the strikers
consider the movement opportune tor
them to make an effort to secure n res
toration of amounts cut from their
wages ait different times during the past
two years.
CORONER'S INQUEST.

about the great strike, looking at It
from a Southern stuindpoUst Ho re

FIRST DAY IN CONFERENCE. I
Nothing Was Done of Importance, art
No Agreement Was Reached., ,
Washington, July 9.—Tho first day;
ot tho conference, on tho tariff bill be
tween tho Democratic confreres of tho
house wns without practical result or
vlsibio progress, so far as oan be
learned. Tho conference continued for
0 hours and was untinierruptcd only,
for meals, -but when on adjournment
was taken after 6 o’clock no Item In
the U1I had been finally passed upon
and agreed To. Tho day iwnn devoted
to a general discussion of thb bill, ami
the principal points of The conference
on The pari of the house pointed to The
rudioal change In policy involved lu
the senate's departure from the freo
r.b-w -material (d.inform and from tho
ad valorem system, and asserted that
Iho senate drill was not alt that the
country demanded In xho way of tariff
reform. The Republicans replied, tn ef
fect, that while this might be true and
might be dmlitcd by Individual me:a-
b<-r«, 1t had proved tho most radical
bill than could be passed In the senate,
and they :tNii"Uin-'l -i d'.-l-rniiuali'm
to d.and for (ho IbM practtatlly os tt
had passed ths senate. T^gy asserted
that To make any canocoatonz for freo
raw material might endanger the pass
age of tho bill -when returned to tho
S'rtjate. They might Just as well havo
stood by the house bill os reported
In the beginning and they would havo
probably prevented Its passage In tho
first place. They also contended that
material reductions or radical changes
from ad valorem To opedflo duties
would delay, If not endanger, final ac
tion upon th* bill. The house, while ad
mitting the force of tho suggestion,
say th* action of the house might also
prove uncertain. The conference com
mute* meets again at 10 olclock tomor
row for an all day session. Some of
the members desire a, night session
tonight, tout Mr- MUson's physical
condition was hardly equal to It. There
had been noo hop* that the committee
would make Rs report tn the house
not later than Friday, and possibly
by Wednesday, on verbal changes to
which all could agree, but the con
ference today brought out the fact
that the differences were too wide to
hop* for this pretlntioary report. On
the contrary. It eu praciloally deter
mined to keep at work unut all was
finished, and there was lljtle Indication
today that this could be accomplished
thlx week. It was practically concluded
today not to have a meeting of the
full conimritee, at which the Repub
lican members would be present, until
the entire bill was finished. There Is,
however,' a difference ot opinion on
this pclnt, and this policy may, be
■changed. /
