The following telegram was sent to President Cleve. land this afternoon by the American Federation of Labor conference: “ The gravity of the industrial sit. uation of the country demands extra ordinary and exceptional action of a conciliatory character at the hands of all men. Recognizing this fact, the executive council of the American Federation of Labor and the under signed officers of national and inter, national trades unions and brotlier hoods of railway organization of America are in conference in this city. We ask you iu the name of the working people and the entire citi zenship of our counrty, to lend your influence and give us your aid so that the present industrial crisis may be brought to an end, alike to the ad. vantage of the people of our country and the institutions under which we live. ‘•We, therefore, ask you to come to Chicago and meet this conference, or. if the condition of public business does net warrant such course, tha t you will deputize some one as| you r redresentative.’’ Signed by the executive councij American Federation o f Labor, Sam uel Gompers, president; C. P, Mc- Guire, first, vied president;C.L. Drum mon*l, second vice president; James Bietelles, third vice president; Wil liam Warden, fourth vice president; J. R. Lennox, treasurer; Chris Evans secretary; and representatives of all organizations present. The telegram was addressed simp!y,“To the President of th e United States. ’ The strike situation throughout the country today was. in general one of quiet news. The cential point of interest has been the meei. ing of labor leaders with President Gompers, of the American Federa- tiou of Labor, at their headquar ters in this city. Among the suggestions consider ed were the following; Firs*, (hat rhe striking Pullman employes,on high patriotic grounds appeal to President Debs to declare the strike off, because of infinite damage which is being done to the business of the country. Second, that the leaders unite in an appeal to the public to quit A GUARNTEED LARGEST SIZE MADE " *‘r ~ n patronizing Pullman steeping, drawing room and dining cars. Third, that President Cleveland be requested to appoint a commie-1 siou to investigate the strike and the causes which led up to it. in the expectation that the president's corn mission would justify the action tak en by the strikers,and free them from charges of rioting and disorder. Fourth, that immediate efforts be mule to tenure the imueachcunt of Attorney General Olney. Fifth, that an effort be made to se cure the passage of a compulsory ar bitration law by congress. Sixth, that complaints be lodged IO CENTS A WEEK looking to the indictment of the rail way managers for conspiracy t<» obstruct mourn mt of United States mails by refu 3 ing to run mail cars ex cept iu connection with Pullman cars AN AIJ. NIGHT SESSION. An all night session of the execu tive board of the American Federu tion of Labor was held tonight at the r^ogß house to consider the question of adding the strength of the federa tion to the Pullman boycott by order mg a sympathetic strike of all mem- bers of the federation. President Gompers invited President Debs and Vice President Howard of the Ameri can Railway Union, to the meeting to confer and ask their counsel iu re gard to the strike situation. The exe cutive officers of both unii ns remain ed in secret session until long after midnight, and then no agreement had been reached as to the main question of ordering * strike. A DIVISION AMONG THE MEMBERS. 11l tact’there is a division among the members of the executive board of the federation in regard to the question and it is not like ly to be settled until tomorrow, even if setttlcd then, The failure •of the American Federation of La bor to give its support to the rail road strikes of the American Rail way Union would, m the opinion of the union leaders, work greatly to the detriment of the Pullman boycott and seriously affect the situation in so far as it relates tr the strike on the railroads. CALLING FOR THE TELEGRAMS. The managers of the Western Union Telegraph Company, the PoMal Telegraph and Cable Com pany and the North American I'eiegraph Company have been subpoenaed at Chicago, Milwaukee and various other cities to appear nd produce the telegraphic cor respondence of Debs and other parties connected with the Pull man boycott and strike.
