That we, as law-abiding citizens and faithful employes, do con demn the action of those who took part in wan,ion and IndhfCitmlrmte destruc tion of life and property and caused a needless stagnation of commerce to the detriment of the interest of their em ployers and the Citizens of the United Stages.

All the other roads will resume their usual routine after this. Tnis was pay day on Liu- Rock Island, 'and the office of the paymaster '"on the third floor of the Van Buren street building was besieged • by an eager crowd. The Chicago and North western paid off Its men. Its pay car stood In the yard Just' west of the Wei la street depot.' A company of regulars was posted close by, so that had any attempt been made to raid t-ho car it could easily have been frus trated. The managers have laid down for themselves a policy on the strictest possible economy, so -as-to offset to tho greatest extent possible ijb* looses of the strike. They expect that several weeks will elapse before 'traffic will re sume Us usual volume. The work, of assigning the men to the poril-ti.mn they left will for many of them be a Blow process. The strikers at Pullman will otand •flfrrf, nolwithtf ton ding !the position of the American R>#lway Union ami the Mlnager*' Association, and they ex pert to win, despite the defeat of ihe present strike, believing tha-t the pub lic Is still wM?h them in their light against ‘the Pullman Palace Oar Com pany. Sam Meyers, secretary of the Pull man grievance committee, said today: “We are not disconcerted tn the least, although-we expected to win our strike With the railroad men’s help in tying up the roads. However, our men have every oonftdcnce In President Debs and tho 'American Railway Union and be- lievo >we will yet win 'the strike, and that our cause has not been Injured In the least.

If. borwever. Senator Brice ts correct In tils prediction that there Will not be a divided report and the report will simply state the fact of a disagree ment, there would seem to be no reason for the Republican conferees demand ing a prolonged consideration tn com mittee. tn reference to tho proceedings of the conference, it could only be stated tbit the sugar schedule had consumed the greater part. If not the entire time, ot the committee, and tho work had de volved largely on the pirt 0 f tha sena tors In persuading the represeaitaRvcs to consent to the refention of the 1-8 of a cent differential on refined sugar. In quiries have also been sent by the con ferees as to how much less than 40 per cent, ad valorem will soitlsfy the auger producers. Tho Louisiana members of congress say nothing whatever can be yielded from the 40 per cewt, rate and their response to tho conference was to that effect. While U Is true that during the week almost every schedule In the blit haa been under conatderatton it ts also true that as yet fow If any rates have been fixed other than tentatively, nnd When number* of the conference say that nothing has been absolutely agreed bn they are technically within the bounds ot truth. It appears from the best In formation obtainable that a great part of rho time haa been given to a repre sentation of the house chnferee* by the senate members of tho necessity of making the most liberal concession* pos sible tn the Interest of the final passage of the bill through the senate.
