The Great Struggle Between Labor and Capital is NOW ON IN EARNEST.

Chicago. 11l July 11th. 5 o’clock p m.—(Special.)—All Labor unions have joined the strikers. Large mobs of strikers and their sympathizers are now patrolling the streets. No rioting has occured up to this hour, and everything pass ing off quietly. Chicago, July 11.—There is no disguising the fact that the local situation today is more grave than it has been at any time since two weeks ago, this noon, when the American Railway Union issued its boycott against the roiling stock of the Pullman Car Company with »he view of en forcing the demand of the strikers at the town of Pullman. This is not the view of the alarmist or the biased idea of the radicals among the striking fo ment. It is the opinion entertain ed today among all classes of the community, which are looking for ward with fear and apprehension to what the day or another day may bring forth. There was that same feeling of unrest and forbod ing in tho air that those who have witnessed uprisings on the part of tho masses in England and on the continent remember full well. There are three times as many people on the streets today as were to be, seen on any day for many months past. Ninetenths of them, men and women alike, displayed some emblem. The majority wore the white ribbon, emblematic of sympathy with the strikers, and against the use of which the white ribbonersof the Woman’s Chris tian Temperance Union have made a fervent but apparently ineffect ual protest. Silken miniatures of the stais and stripes, too, made their appearance this morning and before noon they were to be seen by the thousands serving the pur pose of bouutenaires or being pin ned to breasts. TWO OPIN’ON OF Dlßs’s ARREST The arrest < f President Debs and his associates was the censation of the day. The president of the railway union and his colleagues were brought in quietly and without any outburst of popular indignation that sen sat ion lists had predicted The federal[grand jury, composed almost entirelj of out-of-town residents, oc cupied less time than had been ex pected in reaching the decision that the evidence piesented for its con sideration was sufficient to justify the return of true bills against the leaders of the union. ‘No other re sult had been expected by those who listened to the cbArgeof Judge Gross cup, and while although denounced with fury at the headquarters of the vaiious organizations tonight, is gen erally commented upon in commerci G7IR ANTEED LARGEST SIZE MADE ..

Hardly had - the’worJ been flashed across the half a mile of intervening grouni between the government building aud labor headquarters that indictments bad beau returned and warrants for Debs and his associates placed in r he hands of the officers of the law, when the commitree appoint ed by the trade aud labor asaociu (ions of the city to urge upon the Pullman company the desireabiii ly of submitting the dispute with its employees to arbitration, and which had been endowed with au thority in the event of a refusal being returned, attached its signa tures to the order calling out eve ry union mau in the city from midnight.
