MEN MEET MAJOR ' M'NEILL.
Lieutenant Crosby, of the Artlinr,
Drowned Yesterday Near
Aberdeen, AYasu. .
Arsnclnted Press.
Chicago, August 20. The American
Railway Union president, K. V. Debs,
wna a witness before the strike com
mission today. The court room waB
crowded from bench to doorways. Re
ferring; to the Investigation made by
him at Pullman before the strike was
ordered, Debs said: "I found the men
working: for the Pullman Company at
wages upon which they could not live.
I found that salaries had been cut time
and again,' until skilled mechanics were
working; their lives away for wages
rot sufficient for day laborers, and
that the town of Pullman was so
schemed that every penny the work
Ingman made, found Its way back to
the company. I determined to do all
in my power as president of the
American Railway Union to Improve
the condition' of these men. A blrllte
followed, ordered . by- the . men
themselves. Then came the boycott;
then followed the railroad strikes, or
dered by the various local unions, each
of which had grievances of Its own.
The time was unpropltlous. I did not
order the strikes, but I dp not wish to
shirk any responsibility, and am willing
to say I heartily concurred In and ap
proved the action taken by ' the men.
As to the violence, I always condemned
It. -
Debs said within five days after the
strike was declared the union had the
railroads. "But injunctions were sown
broadcast, and shortly" afterwards the
officials of the American Railway U,n
ion were arrest id for contempt of
court."
Debs further said: ,"It seems strange
that all our letters and telegrams are
made public property while not a line
ut the railroads' correspondence was
published. If It had been I think we
could prove that the general managers
ot a secret meeting- declared they would
damp the American Railway Union
out of existence." George M. Pullman
will be called before the commission.
In reply to a question, Debs said the
union had taken every possible means
to prevent riots and disorder. "We
objected to the presence of the' federal
troops and not to the stalerfti-oops and
police. If I remember rightly, no ser
ious outbreak occurred until the federal
troops arrived, as their presence in
named the men." The witness told of
the trouble with the railroad brother
nooa. "Brotherhoods have outlived
their usefulness," he said, "and for that
reason I left the firemen's organization,
They are jealous of the American Rail
way union. . There Is now a movement
on foot to form a United and Grand
Railroad organization. Within a. few
days a proposition will be submitted
to other railroad organizations, where
by the officials of the American Rail
way Union and other unions , shall
resign with no possibility of an election
to office. The principal cause of the
strike, then -being) relieved", an organiza
tion will be effected if the brotherhoods
will consent, which . shall include all
emiloye." ,

ORIGIN OF TUB WORD HOEO. -
The word "hobo," applied to tramps.
Is a corruption of Hoboken. When a
man In New York wanted to express
an extremely uncomplimentary . opin
ion of a thing or place, he would say
it was tough aa Hoboken. If he .had
been out all night and felt very Hoboken.-
The term spread over New York
end over, the country. The youn ruf
fians of Hoboken came to be caned
hobos, which does not require so much
effort as would Hobokenlles. This Is
the origin of the term, and In the strict
sense of the word the men of the com
monweii 'e called "hobos."
