BRING CRISIS
RAIL STRIKE
Peace Negotiations at Stand
still and Nation Faces in
dustrial Paralysis Section
Hands, Oilers and Clerks
Balloting On Strike Trains
Cancelled.
CHICAGO, July 17. (By Associated
Press). Peace prospect in tlie railroad
strike were dimmed today by the addi
tion of approximately 100,000 men to
the forces of the strikers.
Negotiations for a settlement were
temporarily at a standstill, with no
positive indication as to the next move
or itB possible result, t
By niBny it Is believed' that the na
tion this week will meet the major
industrial crisis of its history.
Seventy-five thousand maintenance
of way workers in New York switch
ing area were scheduled to leave their
posts this morning in answer to a re
gional strike call. To this number
were added close to 10,009 oilers and
stationary firemen and engineers thru-
out the country whose strike call last
week fixed this morning as the hour
for cessation of work. Clerks and
freight handlers in various sections
planned to leave their work in groups
ranging from less than a hundred up
ward
Jarring the unforeseen, Thursday is
expected to bring the first Important
tfc ihn strike. On that
day President E. P. Grabte of the main
tenance of way men will meet in De
troit with regional chairmen to fix the
policy of the national. union in the dis
pute. With approximately 400,000 men
in the maintenance crafts Involved the
ultimate result of the strike is regard
ed as bound up In the session
A determined effort to keep the men
at ' work Is forecast as Mr. Gralile's
part In the meeting, but with such
sentiment for the walkout as is evi
denced by the suspension of the main
tenance men In the east today the out
come of the conference is entirely con
joctiiral.
The nresslire of fuel supplies in
many sections is an aggravating fac
tor in the Industrial section. Non
union coal which had been an inade
quate supply since April 1 to keep
abreast of current consumption de
mands has been shut off from ninny
sections by the shortage of freight
equipment, due to the shopmen's
strike.
Hopes for a railroad settlement at
an early date appeared to be based
chiefly upon the attitude of Mr. Grable
who came to Chicago today trom
' Washington where on Saturday he
held a conference with President
Hording. Mr. Grable saidhe would
confer with members of the railroad
labor board in an effort to get support
of an order to prevent carriers from
requiring maintenance jnen to do strik
ers' work. .
Another indication of 8 drift toward
. peace was seen in the statement of R.
V Henning, general chairman of the
federated shop craftB of the northwest,
that only the refusal of eastern roads
to agree to re-inBtate striking shop
crafts workers with their full seniority
rights was preventing a settlement on
the roads In the northwest section of
the country.
A message to E. H. Fitzgerald, head
of the clerks, freight handlers, express
and Btation employes union said a
strike vote of 8000 clerks on the Chi
cago and Northwestern railroad show-
ed 93 per cent of the men favored a
k. walkout and asking for authority to
strike. A canvass of the strike vote of
the same organization on the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois road showed 9Shi
ner cent of the workers favored a walk
out. accordincr to representatives of
the union.
Strike ballots are being circulated
hv the Brotherhood of Railway, Steam
ship Clerks, Freight Handlers and Ex
press Employes to its members em
ployed by the Southern Kauway ana
affiliated lines. The employes charge
that the company reduced wages in de
fiance of the railroad labor board.

RE-OPEN MINES
UNDER FEDERAL
TROOPSPLANNED
Miners Refuse Arbitration,
President to Direct Ope
rators to Start Work Vo;
unteer Workers Sought
Public Interest First.
WASHINGTON, July 17. (By the
Associated i'reaa) Intimation was
given in well Informed governmental j
circles this afternoon that the ad
ministration was prepared to take j
drastic action within the next 48 j
hours in the coal strike situation.
The president was represented as !
being of the uplriton that inasmuch as :
the miners' representatives bad ro-:
fused government arbitration and the
bituminous operators were undecided
on acceptance of such a proposal that
the interest of the public demanded
Immediate reopening of the mines.
With this feeling it was said the
president was prepared to direct the
mine operators to reopen their mines
at once under protection of federal
troops and with an American flag
planted at the entrance of every mine
to be operated. The operators would
be expected' to comply immediately
with such an edict.
The president has in mind. It was
further reported, to place if neces
sary, for a snort tlino a royalty on
such coai rs would be mined to meet
the emergency. If there are insuffic
ient numbers of non-union miners to
operate the mines when reopened
under government protection, it was
intimated that a call for volunteer
miners would go out from the gov
ernment, officials believing there are
thousands of miners who now are
engaged In other pursuits, but who
would respond to such a call.
The same method of dealing with
the railroad situation must be used.
it was said, if conditions soon do not
change for the better. The adminis
tration, it was ameu, is aetermmeo
not looser to be balked In its eftons
to sec that the consuming public and
the industries of the country got suf
ficient coal.

'Strike, Fight and Work To

St. in Typical Class Appeal
Fruits of War Recited
Need Only One Union.
CHICAGO, July IT. Eugene V.
Debs, leader of the American Rail
way union strike in 1894, today issued:
a statement to the striking- railroad j
men and other unions that the time
has come for the rank and file to
unite and "strike together, vote to
gether and fight together."
There has been some slight dis
order and a few scabs have been
hurt," Mr. Debs said. "This has been
the extent of the violence, but it has
been sufficient to bring to the strik
ers what they fought for in the late
world war. The federal government
announces through the department
of Justice that it will stand no trlft-
tiiK on the part of toe sinners ana
that If necessary armed force win be
employed ut once for their suppres
sion. The governors of seven states
have simultaneously announced that
they have the national guard mobil
ised and ready to move at command
when the exigencies of the situation
demand action.
"You will have no trouble In guess-i
ing what kind of action Is thus meant
on the part of the national and state
governments which you. sweat for,
voted for, invested your last dollar
for and crossed the Atlantic to fight
and be gassed and die for in the war
to make the world in general and In
America particularly safe for de
mocracy and iiberly.
"And now that the war Is over and
kalserism is dead and democracy and
liberty aro on top this same crowd, to
a man, to whom you rallied in such
a frenzy of enthusiasm, to compen
sate you for your noble patriotism, is
now lined up against you in battle
array and ready to shoot you down
like dogs.
"It la true, Mr. Union Man that
your craft union leaders with scarcely
an exception stood wiin tno wan
Street profiteers in howling for war
and rushing you, the common liera.
Into tlio trenches to bo gassed, muti
lated and murdered while they re-j
mained in tho rear to receive the:
plaudits of the plutocratic press for;
their patriotism. But that "does not:
excuse you, for you chose those lead-:
ers and were responsible for them,:
and after all, tho leaders aro about:
ns fit or otherwise as the rank and
file that electa them,
"If In the Hg-ht of this situation
you do not realise the crying need
for unity, for solidarity on every
front, regardless of creed or color,
you are indeed in a pathetic plight
and your case Is all but hopeless.
Your weak craft unions have sot to
bo converted into a powerful indus
trial union and you have got to cut
iwose once and for ail from the rot
ten political parties of your roasters.
Your Interests as workers
and producers are absolutely Identi
cal and there Is no earthly reason
why those employed in the industry
should belong to different unions or
give their votes to different political
parties,
"The struggle Is entering upon its
critical stago and whether the toll
ing hosts shall emerge In triumph
and establish industrial and social
democracy In the world or go down
in humiliating defeat for another his
torical period of economic bondage
denends entirety upon the capacity
ofhe workors to musler their forces
and stand together, strike together.
