' - of the A. R. U.
Portland, March 21. Eugene V.
Debs, president of the American Bail
way "Union, accompanied by Roy M.
Goodwin, a director of the union; arrived
in Portland last night, and will lecture
this evening. His tour is taken for the
purpose of raising funds for the defense
of the American Railway Union leaders.
Regarding the conspiracy trial, Mr.
Debs said :
VThe tual opened , January 24 and
closed February 8. One of the jurors
was token sick, and the jury was dis
charged without a conclusion of the
case. The trial could have been legally
continued by consent of counsel, upon
impaneling another juror, or with 11
jurors, but the prosecution would not
agree to it. The case was put over for a
econd trial until the first Monday in
May, butjt is the opinion of my lawyers
that the case will never be' tried. When
the trial closed the prosecution had
offered all of its testimony j and we had
begun with our witnesses. The prose
cution had not one ecrapof real testi
mony. I am very anxious to have the
"case tried, and, if I am guilty, to be
punished, and if not, to be vindicated.
An acquittal by a jury, would be in the
nature of a vindication.
"The contempt proceedings, he said
"were brought tor violation for injunc
tions issued by Judge Woods, United
States circuit judge, on July 2, 1894, res
training the American-Railway Union
from directing the strike, and myself
and colleagues as officers of the union.
There were two of these cases. One was
by the United .States government and
one by the Santa Fe Railroad Company.
The Santa Fe Company was in the hands
of a receiver, in Judge Wood's court, and
therefore, was directly in the custody of
the court. These cases were tried , be
fore Judge Wood, without a jury, and I
was sentenced to six months in the
county jail, in each' case, and my eight
official colleagues to three months in
each case . These sentences .are con
current, and, therefore, amount to six
months in my case, and three months to
each of the others. In these cases the
interests involved are of the fundamental
principles and rights of labors to organ
ize for its protection ; to act in concert,
or for a body of men to quit work sim
ultaneously. So we concluded to appeal
the case to- the United States supreme
court. There never has been a decision
on this subject by the United States
supreme court, and we believe it will be
well to have it. The ground of appeal is
on the validity of the injunction of Judge
Wood. '
."The Santa Fe case is not subject to
appeal, as that company is in the hands
of a receiver in Judge Wood's court, and
is consequently in the hands of the
court, and there can be no question of
the jurisdiction of that court, and its
right to control property in its posses
sion, bo we moved a suspension of sen
tence in the santa , Fe . cases, until we
served the government sentence, and
pending the supreme court decision, the
government .sentence is held , in abey
ance. If the supreme court decides ad
versely, these two sentences will now be
come cumulative, and-1 : will have to
serve one year and my colleagues six
months. The hearing is to be had be
fore the full supreme bench, March 25,
and a decision is expected during the
early part of May. Thjre will be ex
haustive arguments upon the law.. The
decision is of as much importance to the
industrial interests ' as "was the Dred
Scott decision to slavery, aiid it is being
anxiously awaited throughout the entire
country. If adverse, it will be a death
blow to labor."; . .,

are the conspirators?" at Seattle the
Post Intelligencer says : It was splend
idly delivered, and elicited frequent and
repeated applause. ' He' proved himself
a polished speaker, and for 2 hours the
interest never flagged. In his argument
he was plain, conclusive and convincing ;
his earnestness' was profound," and his
rhetoric, metaphor and figures of speech
poetical, pathetic and enthusiastic. He
demonstrated that he has been a student
of human nature-of well as of good books,
the classics', Shakespeare,' Rnskin, Car
lisle, McCauley and Burns seeming to
be his favorite authors. Those who ex
pected that he wonld pose as a martyr, j
as a result of the six months' imprison
ment in the county jail at Ceicago for
the part he played as leader of the strike,
were disappointed.' He only referred to
the incident of bis imprisonment two or
three times, and then in a dry, humorou
way that provoked continued laughter
instead of indignation. . In : describing
the incidents leading up to his residence
in the jail, he said :
When I was served with the injunc
tion from Judge Jenkins' coart restrain
ing me from holding high communion
with myself, from writing letters or tele
grams, and from talking with my fellow
men, I went to two of the best lawyers
in .Chicago, and asked them what I
should do, and they told me I ' had vio-
latek no law and could continue as I bad
been doing." " ' ' '
Hera Mr. Debs stopped for a moment,
and there was profound silence. Then
he added, in a dry, matter-of fret-way :
I took their advice and got six
months!"
For a period of five minutes pandemo
nium reigned, there being alternate ap
plause and laughter. 'As the speaker
stood before the audience, his black eyes
sparkling and the corners of his mouth
drawn up with a suspicion of a smile
which he endeavored to suppress, he
looked very much like Bill Nye, in one
of the latter's lucid moments. Alto
gether the resemblance-between Bill
Nye and Mr. Dehe is at times striking,
especially when the 'latter ' becomes
humorous, as he does frequently.
: Mr. Debs declared the newspapers had
given but one side of the Btoryof the re
cent unpleasantness, and said that the
members of the Railway Managers' As
sociaiion in Chicago were really the con
epirators, and not . the employes, or the
officials of the American Railway Union
