Portland, Or., July 5. The objects of
the American Railway Union, as set
forth iu the circulars in pamphlet form
sent out by its officers, are practically
embodied in the following excerpts
In the creation of a new organization
ot railway employes certain reasons
prompting the movement are demanded
and should be set forth with becoming
candor.
The number of railway employes now
in service of tho railroads of America
has been variously estimated from 800,
000 to 1,000,000. It Is safe to assume
that this vast army of employes is at
the present time not less than 1,000,000.
Accepting the highest claims of the
various railroad organizations as a basis
of calculation, less than 150,000 of these
employes are members of such organiza
tions, leaving more than 800,000 who are
not enrolled in the ranks of organized
labor.
DEFECTS OF OLDER OKDEKS.
Experience, the great teacher, whose
lessons sooner or later must be heeded,
points' out with unerring certainty the
detects ana demonstrates tue inefficiency
ot organizations as they now exist.
First They do not provide for all
classes of employes, it being shown that
mou.uuu ot tnem, or 80 per cent ot tne
wtiote number, remain unorganized.
These may be divided into three general
classes: (1) those who are eligible, but
decline to join ; (2) those who may have
been expelled because of their inability
or refusal to bear the financial burdens
which membership imposes, and (3) the
multiplied thousands in various depart
ments of the service who are totally in
eligible, there being no provision for
their admission.
DID NOT PRESERVE HARMONY.
Second The existing organizations,
designed to promote and preserve har
monious relations between employer and
employe, have met with only limited
success, if, indeed, it can be shown that
any progress has been made in that di
rection. Third What must be said of organi
zations which have failed to establish
friendship and good-will even among
themselves? From the first there have
existed antagonisms and jealousies cul
minating in warring factions instead of
a harmonious whole. Organization has
been pitted against organization, bring
ing upon themselves not only disaster,
but lasting reproach.
A CARDINAL VIRTUE.
Fourth Protection is a cardinal virtue
of the present organizations ; but they
do not protect.
Fifth It is universally conceded that
one of the most serious objections to ex
isting organizations is their excessive
cost.
Sixth Another defect in existing or
ganizations is their secrecy, as, for in
stance, the Becret ballot, by virtue of
which thousands of worthy applicants
have been excluded. The air of mystery
surrounding their proceedings is not cal
culated to inspire confidence. On the
contrary, in the relation between em
ployer and employe in carrying forward
great enterprises in which the people at
large are proiounuiy interested mystery
is not required, and is productive of sus
picion and distrust. Open, fearless and
above-board work is far more in conso
nance with the spirit of independence
and free institutions.
SOURCE OF DISSATISFACTION.
Seventh The tremendous power con
ferred upon chief officers has been a
source of widespread dissatisfaction.
Eighth The subject of grievance com
mittees has itself become a grievance
that calls aloud lor correction.
Ninth Organizations have become go
numerous, and their annual and biennial
conventions occur so frequently, that the
question of furnishing free transporta
tion to delegates, their families and their
friends is being eenously considered by
railway officials as an abuse of privilege
without a redeeming feature.
new order, adding strength to his promi
nence and popularity in labor circles.
This trio of officials is of itself sufficient
to draw to the American Railway Union
the support of their many admirers."
No recent statement of the member
ship of the rapidly growing new order
has been given out by the officers. Ac
cording to the estimates furnished by
the older organization, there are enrolled
in unions, other than the American
Railway Union, the following employes
in train service :

STATEMENT FROM DEBS.
He Outline the Po.ltlon of the A inert
can Hallway Union.
Chicago, July 6. Eugene V. Debs,
President of the American Railway
Union, has issued a long statement in
justification of the great strike of which
he is the central figure. The article
addressed to the public, and reads in
part as follows :
" The Pullman employes who struck
May 6 last did so entirely of their own
accord. The officers of the American
Railway Union used all their influence
to pacify the employes, and advised them
repeatedly not to strike, but to bear pa
tiently their grievances until a peaceable
settlement could be effected. The truth
of this statement the employes them'
selves will bear witness to. But the
grievance of the employes, men and
women, had become so aggravated, so
galling, that patience deserted them.
and they abandoned their employment
rather than submit longer to conditions
against which their very souls rebelled.
The Pullman Company, be it understood,
owns the town of Pullman, owns the
homes of the employes, controls the light
and water and other necessaries ot me.

penses that in a large majority of cases
the employes are scarcely able to support

the employes were in arrears to the full'

Wages had been repeatedly reduced, but
the rent ana an other expenses remained
the same.

pany arrogantly declares that there is
nothing to arbitrate. If this be true,

Tenth The extraordinary fact cannot
be overlooked that while present organ

striking and boycotting machinery, and
while millions of dollars have been

have with scarcely an exception been
overwhelmed with defeat
OFFICER ABE WELL KNOWN.
When these circnlars were being circu
lated in the early part of this year
among the members of the Erotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen, with what effect
the result of the present strike shows,
the Railway Conductor, published by
the Order of Railway Conductors, com
menting on this manifesto of the then
. new organization, said:
"This circular is issued over the signa
tures of Eugene V. Debs, President, and
S. Keliher, Secretary, which gives to the
document more than ordinary interest,
inasmuch as earn of these gentlemen is
qnite prominently connected with other
existing organizations and is favorably
known to all organized labor. George
W. Howard, ex-Grand Chief Conductor
of the Brotherhood of Railway Con
ductors, i the Vice-President of this
and how then did the strike ex ten
railways? Let the answer be given in
accordance with the facts.
"The day before the order for the men
to decline to pull Pullman cars went into
ellect the Managers Association, repre
senting the principal Western railways,
met and adopted a series of resolutions,
dprlarincr in substance that thev would
uphold the Pullman Company in its fight
upon its employes, mat tney wouta nam
Pullman cars and would stand together
in crushing out the American Railway
Union. It will thus be seen that the
railway companies virtually joined forces
with tne I'uuman uompany; went into
partnership with them, so to speak, to
reduce and defeat their half-starved em'
ployes. In this way the trouble was ex
tended from syBtem to system until a
crisis has been reached.
" What can be done to dispel the an
prehension that now prevails and restore
confidence? The American Railway
Union, by whose authority and in whose
behalf this statement is made, stands
ready, and has from the beginning stood
readv to do anything in its power, pro
vided it is honorable, to end this trouble.
This, it can be stated, is the position the
organization occupies, it simply insists
that the Pullman Company shall meet
its employes and do them justice. We
guarantee that our attorneys will accept
any reasonable proposition. Let them
agree as far as they can and where they
fail to agree let the points in dispute
be submitted to arbitration. The ques
tion ol the recognition of the American
Railway Union or any other organization
is waived. Let the spirit of conciliation,
mntual concession and compromise am.
mate both sides, and there will be no
trouble in reaching a settlement that
will be satisfactory to all concerned,
" It has been asked what sense there
is in sympathetic strikes. Let the cor
porations answer. When one is assailed,
all go to the rescue. They stand to
gether; they supply each other with
men, money and equipments. Labor in
unifying its forces simply follows their
example. If the proceeding is vicious
and indefensible, let them first abolish
it. In this contest labor will stand by
labor. Other organizations will not be
called out, but they will go out, and the
spectacle of Mr. Pullman, fanned by the
breezes of the Atlantic, while his em
ployes are starving, is not calculated to
prevent their fellow wageworkers from
going to their rescue by the only means
at their command. Let me repeat that
we stand ready to do our part toward I

ensue will be upon their own heads, and

ation and Forbearance.
Washington, July 0. Just before
midnight President Cleveland Issued the
following proclamation :
" Whereas, By reason of unlawful ob
structions, combinations and assem
blages of persons it has become imprac
ticable, In the judgement of the Presi
dent, to enforce by the ordinary course
of judicial proceedings the lawi of the
United States within the Stale of Illinois
and the city of Chicago within said
State; and
Whereas, For the purpose of enforcing
the faithful execution of the laws of the
United States and protecting its prop
erty and removing obstructions to the
Unites States In the State and city afore
said, the President has employed a part
of the military forces of the United
States.
Now, therefore, I, Graver Cleveland,
President of the United States, do hereby
admonish all good citizens and all per
sons, who may be or may come within
the city and State aforesaid, against aid
ing, countenancing, encouraging or tak
ing any part in such unlawful olistrue-
linna nnm tilnaf inns anil aautinlilanuia
and 1 do hereby warn all persons engag
ing in or in any way connected with such
unlawful obstructions, combinations and
assemblages to disperse and retire peace
ably to their respective abodes on or be
fore 12 o'clock noon, on the lull day of
July, instant. Those who disregard this
warning anil persist in taking part with
a riotous mob in forcibly resisting and
obstructing the execution of the laws of
the United States, or with interfering
with the functions of the government,
or destroying or attempting to destroy
the property belonging to the United
States, or nnder its protection, cannot
be regarded otherwise than as public
enemies.
, Troops employed against such riotous
mob will act with all moderation and
forbearance consistent with the accom
plishment of the desired end, but the
necessities that confront them will not
with certainty permit discrimination be
tween guilty participants and those who
are mingled with them from curiosity
and without criminal intent. The only
safe course, therefore, for those not ac
tually unlawlully participating is to
abide at their homes or at least not to be
found in the neighborhood of riotous
assemblages. While there will be no
hesitation or vacillation in the decisive
treatment of the guilty, this warning is
especially Intended to protect and save
the innocent. In testimony whereof I
hereunto set mv hand and cause the seal
of the United States to be hereto affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this 8th
day of July in the year of our Lord 1804
and of the Independence ot the United
states of America the nnth.
The proclamation practically declar
ing martial law in the city of Chicago
was decided upon after a full discussion
in the Cabinet meeting. J Ins is the
action which General Miles desired from
the beginning, as it will give him ample
authority in the city.
The following sent from the War De
partment to General Miles this evening
serves in a measure to interpret the in
tention of the President's action:
" In view of the provision of the stat
ute and for the purpose of giving ample
warning to all innocent and well-disposed
persons, the President has deemed
it best to issue the following proclamation
to-day. This does not change the scope
ot your authority and duties nor rela
tions to local authority. You will make
this known to Mayor Hopkins."

ORIGIN OF THE 8TRIKK.

Rattle for Supremacy Among
the Labor Union.
Philadelphia, July 0. A prominent
official of the Knights of Labor said
to-day:
" The strike is not now and from its
inception never has been a battle be
tween organized labor and capital in be
half of the Pullman workers. It is the
result pure and simple of a fight for
supremacy among labor organizations.
In other words the strike is a trump card
played by the labor leaders in the game
which they are playing against the
rivals in their own orders. Six months
ago the Knights of Labor found positive
proof ot the fact that the great body ol
tne oroer was uiorouguiy uisguBteu, aim
that the order was on the verge of fall
ing to pieces. Ihe decision was soon
reached that the only salvation for them
lay in a general uprising of labor. They
were also urged to this determination by
the fact that the Federation of Labor
was waging war to the death against
the Knights. There was but one.
young and vigorous order built upon the
knights of labor's ideas, favorable to
striking. That order was the American
Railway Union. The leaders of the
Knights of Labor at once proceeded to
fraternize with the Railway Union for
the defeat of the Federation. At a con
ference in January it was decided to
issue a secret order to the Master Work
men of every local assembly of the
Knights, asking him to call npon all
members to pay in 5 cents weekly to an
emergency fund to be used in a move
ment of national importance. Mean
time the leaders waited for an oppor
tunity lor tne proposed uprising.
"flans were laid for the present up
rising, and the f ullman strike offered
the desired opportunity. All plans were
perfected and funds made ready before a
move was made. This strike is the most
formidable and most deeply planned of
any uprising that has ever occurred in
civilized country in half a century. If
its outcome will only serve to convince
honest laboring men that they are being
used as footballs by a lot of high-salaried
officials, and if that conviction will
eventuate in the construction of organ
izations with the scheming leaders con
spicuous by their absence, the cost will
not be so great as may appear."

ASTORIA'S MEMORIAL.
For the Eatabllahuient of Salmon Hatch-
erlea on the Columbia River.
Astoria, Or., July 5. As a result of
the movement having for its object the
establishment of salmon hatcheries on
the Columbia river, maintained by the
general government, the Chamber of
Commerce has adopted a memorial to
Congress, a copy ot which will be for
warded to-morrow to each Congressional
Representative of Oregon and Washing
ton, with an urgent request that he give
it his immediate attention and use his
influence to procure action thereon
before the adjournment of Congress.
The memorial reads :
"The Chamber of Commerce of As
toria, Or , respectfully represents that
the Columbia river is 1,400 miles in
length and six miles wide at its mouth.
That the Snake river is a branch of
the Columbia and is 750 miles in length.
That many smaller branches empty into
the two greater rivers. That the streams
are ted principally from melting snows.
and that they run through and along
the boundary lines of four States and
Territories. That the Columbia, for a
distance of 100 miles from its entrance
into the Pacific ocean, is a tide-water
estuary, That it has been the greatest
salmon-producing river in the world
and the most extensive fisheries are
operated on its banks. That in no
stream on the western continent sal
mon reach such a rich, oily quality and
state of perfection as in the Columbia
river. That the industry of preserv'
ing salmon in tin cans was started on
the river about thirty years ago, and the
business gradually increased until 1883,
when the pack reached the enormous
amount of ouauuu cases of forty-eight
pounds each. Three fish are required
to fill each case, making the catch, in
cluding fish otherwise used, 2,000,000
fish, averaging each twenty pounds.
Since that time, owing to the great
annual catches and the destruction of
the fish, the catch has fallen off one-
half. The catch is about 1,000,000 fish
worth, as taken from the water, f 1
nan. When packed the market value
of this catch will be 11.500.000, inclusive
of consumption of fresh fish. One-half
of the additional value will consist of
materials produced on the banks of the
river.
" In packing this catch 32.000 boxes
of tin-plate will be used, on which there
win be paid to the united states gov
ernment $75,000 in duties. A consider
able amount will also be paid to the
United States government for the twine
used for nets in catching the Halt. There
are smaller fluh of commercial value,
known as bluebacks, silver-sides and
steelheads; shad also being caught,
Proper laws for the protection and in
crease of these kinds of food fish are
needed. Tiie principal fishing districts
are on the river where it is a common
boundary between Oregon and Wash
ington. Joint action of the several
States is impracticable. Artificial prop
agation ot fish by the general govern
ment has proven practicable and eco
nomical. This Chamber, therefore,
prays that your honorable bodies pass
such laws as, in your wisdom, shall seem
proper for the protection and preserva
tion of the food fishes of the Columbia
river; that an appropriation of $30,000
be made for the establishment and
maintenance of one or more hatcheries
upon the waters of the Columbia at
such point or points as the Honorable
r-i t. r ; r i it j it.
riBii commissioner oi tne united otaies
may designate, and that suitable pro
vision may be made for their future
maintenance."

Ottawa, Ont., July 4. In the House
of Commons to-night Mr. Edgar moved
the impeachment of Sir Adolph E.
Caron, Postmaster-General, and Sir
Hector Langevin, ex-Minister of Public
Works. The resolution submitted by
him asserted that from the trial and
conviction of Thomas McGeevy and N.

House it appears that large portions of

him for the purpose of being expended

Sir Hector Langevin, M. P., and Sir
Adolph Caron.
Aboat the Nicaragua Canal.
New York, July 4. President John
R. Bartlett of the Nicaragua Canal
Company has received a telegram from
a canal representative at Managua, say
ing that the government has withdrawn
all opposition to the canal. President
Bartlett said: "This means that we
can go ahead with our work." He said
the company was in good shape in every
way, and that the actual work would
begin the moment the bill now in Con
gress was disposed of.
No Attempt to Be Made to Control the
Mob Vnlee State Authorltlea Fall
In Their Duty-The Government In
the Conflict to Stay.
Washington, July 6. Every effort of
the administration in conjunction with
Major-General Schofield isbelngdirec-ted
to an arrangement for a speedy concen
tration of troops at Chicago. The Fed
eral government Is in the conflict to stay,
and will exhaust every means in its
power to bring about a compliance with
the several injunctions issued by United
States Courts. A Cabinet officer la au
thority for the statement. It Is further
stated that the purpose of the govern
ment is not to attempt to control the
mobs engaged in rioting in Chicago and
elsewhere, unless the State authorities
tail in this duty. The government troops
and tbe posses of United States Deputy
Marshals will devote their energies to
protecting government property, to pre
venting the interference with interstate
commerce and to securing the free trans
mission of mails. The Cabinet meeting
lo-oay resulted in general understand
ing to carry out the policy indicateJ,
One important matter developed at the
meeting was that the militia of one State
could be called upon to suppress disor
der in another State where the local au
thorities had failed to enforce obedience
to the law.
The proper distribution ot government
troops is causing some concern at the
War Department. A high official said
to-day that 5,000 regulars were needed
to suppress the disorders in the West.
All the companies ot in fantrv. batteries
of artillery and troops of cavalry at in
termediate points are now ready, resting
on their arms. The failure of the Cali
fornia militia to preserve order at Sacra
mento has caused the government to
consider the advisability of sending reg
ulars there, and the Fifth Artillery Reg
iment, now stationed at the Presidio.
could restore order at Sacramento with
out great difficulty, but iust there the
difficulty comes in. It is not considered
good policy to withdraw the regiment
from the Presidio at this time, for the
absence of the troops might prove the
opportunity for riotous movements there.
So it- is all over the West, and Major
General Schofield is holding his forces in
reserve while he watches every indica
tion of disorder that may call for action
on the part of his soldiers. General
Schofield says he will not order the
Presidio troops from San Francisco un
less upon the request of Brigadier-General
Rnger commanding tbe Department
of California. The War Department
has thirty-three companies of infantry,
forty-four batteries of artillery and eight
troops ot cavalry in the ast. Most of
these could be drawn on tor service in
Chicago and elsewhere.

Chicago, July 6. Grand Master Work

arrived in Chicago to-day from Des
Moines. He said he had come to Chicago
to render what assistance he could to the

every labor organization should put in
its best blows to make the strike win,
and aimed :
" This is the most critical period In
the history of unionism in America. It
