IT IS OFF.

Chicago Switchmen Vote to Hind the Strike.

WILLING TO RETURN TO THEIR WORK,

Those of the Santa r. and Chicago I Eastern Illinois Roads Decide to Continue the Fight—Resolutions of the A. B- U-

A THING OF THE PAST.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.—With the exception of the unions on the Santa Fe and the Chicago & Eastern llllnoia railroads the local organization of the American Railway union, through their delegates In Uhlich's hall Sunday afternoon, declared the strike off so far as Chicago is ooncerned. This notion will not necessarily affeot the condition of the strike^t other points, tho unions of those plaoes being free to take whatever aotlon they may deem fit.

Expeot to Win.

In Chicago the strike on the Santa Fe and Chicago & Eastern Illinois still remains In full force, and the delegates at Sunday's meeting were unanimous in the opinion that the union would yet be successful In the fight against these two roads. A proposition to declare the fight at an end on these two systems was made the same as on the other lines, but it met with a storm of protests from the men who had gone out on the roads and who deolared their confidence in their ability to bring the two managements to terms.

Men Free to Return to Work. The official order of the meeting was conveyed to the local unions whloh held speoial meetings, and was by them rat.lled. At 7 o'clock this morning the order will go into effect and the men will after that hour be free to apply for their old positions o. to seek employment on other lines. It was the opinion among the men that no one, excepting, perhaps, those who are said to be marked, would have any trouble in finding employment, as it was olaimed that during the whole trouble the railroads have been unable to secure the proper material to carry on their business, and that they will be only too glad to get experienced help.

There w^re twenty-four local unions represented in the meeting, this number being nearly all in the city, and every road in the city was fully represented by the men in the various departments. There was no representative of the Pullman strikers at the meeting, and the subject of the original cause for the great railroad strike was not discussed.

The decision to declare the strike ofl was in harmony with the action of the convention on Friday, whloh declared that it had no authority either to order a strike or declare one off that had been ordered under the laws of the organization, which specifically say that no strike shall be ordered excepting by a majority vote of the members of the union on the system on which the strike is to take plaoe.

With the adjournment of the convention the management of the strike passed out of the hands of the national officers and Into the hands of the unions under looal self-government.

Tho striking employes of the Stock Yards company deolded Sunday night to return to work.

Will Continue the Strike.

SI'IU-NG VAI.LET, 111., Aug. 8.—A mass meeting of miners was held near here and it was unimously decided to continue the strike for last year's seal*.

Trouble Is Feared.

OTTAWA. 111., Aug. 0.—Sheriff Tayjot went to La Salle Sunday evening with a posse of 100 deputies armed with Wiaehester rifles. To-day the operators of the Carbon Coal oompany will put 600 men to work in their three shafts, and it is feared that the miners of Spring Valley will come into La Salle to prevent the men from going to work. Should this be attempted by the Spring Valley miners trouble will follow and blood will be shed. The sheriff and mine operators propose tc settle the strike question in La Salle to-day.

Off at Terre Hauta.

TEKRE HAUTE, Ind., Aug. (J.—At S meeting Sunday night of the local lodge of the American Railway union the men on a strike voted conditionally to deolare the strike off. A committee was appointed to make an appeal to the railway officials to reinstate the men now out, but It oould not be learned if the demand would be made to take back all or none of the strikers. Two of the roads have deolared that no agitator could secure work under any oondltlon.

A, R. (J. Resolutions.

CHICAGO, Aug. 8.—The report c- the special committee on resolutionAmerican Railway union wMch .. af submitted to the conventlo ist Friday, and which wac referrod to the board of directors and the lawyers oi the organization for lcvlsion, wa» completed Saturday evening and give' to the public. Synopsis ft .lows:

It explains the oauce whloh brought th organization into existence be the protection of railroad employes froi. the aggression and Impositions of their employers, the railway corporations of the co'intry. It deniet that an effort was made tn destroy the oldei brotherhood, but the only Intention was bring about a more perfect union, In whloh the will of the members should at all times rule and to this end no strike was ordered exoepl upon a majority vote ot th« looal unions themselves. It says the employes of the Pullmai: Palaco Car company were takec luto the unlor at their own request.

Iescrlbed the Pullman System. Here follows a description of the town Pullman and the conditions under whloh the workmen are said to be employed, It Is salt that while wages were redueed the price of rents remained the same, and that at the time th strike of the Pullman employes began the) were Indebted to the oompany In the sum o: *70,090 for rents. "Thus the worklngmen," sayt tho resolutions, "found themselves In worst condition than did the worklngmen In chattel slavery, Inasmuch as they did not receive theli board and clothes for their labor, but fount! themselves In debt to their employer aftei faithfully laboring for him."

Scores the General Managers. Continuing, the report ssvs that the Genera: Managers' association was formed In 189? iui prior to the organisation of the American Railway union, supposedly as a soolal organization, but In reality for the purpose of crushing out the organizations among the railroad men.

It la said that the association promptly oame to the asslstanoe of the Pullmun company and violated the Interstate oommeroe law and Interfered with the movement of the malls by refusing to oarry passengers or express or mails unless also carrying the oars of the Pullman oompany. tThe excuse ot the roads Is said to have been that they had oontraots with

the Pullman oompany, and that If they did not carry Its oars they would be liable for damages, gnd (he elatm Is mads that In most of the (tates the oompany oould not hare recovered amagee beoause of the laws whloh exouie the reeking ot oontraots when their performance made impossible by genera) strikes, plspsrages Acta of 1M

Federal Authorities Scored.

The resolution soores the federal authorities as follows: "We regret to say that the federal government gave some oolor to the corporations' olalxn that the authorities were oomlng to assist them In a partisan oonfilot, both by the unnecessary sending ot troops without warrant ot law and without request of the constitutional looal authorities, by the one-sided and offensive sots of the publlo proseoutor, late from a snug berth as a corporation lawyer, by the blatant mouthlngs ot the United States oommander, and the no less tyrannloal utteranoes of the president himself that the worklngmen throughout the nation so understood It was evidenced by their almost unanimous aotlon in supporting the strike, and It Is to be feared that a greater gulf than ever haa thus been put between the people and their government."

After reviewing the proaeoutton of the ofBoers of the union for oonsplraoy and contempt of oourt the report takes' up the Santa Fe road and maintains that the authorities are so b\i»y punishing workmen that they have no time td attend to the Santa Fe esse.

Men Free to Return.

'"IJe worklngmen belonging to the American Railway union retired from the employment of the railways at their own will they are now and have always been free to return when they so desired. Their offloers and directors proposed to the Oeneral Managers' association at Chicago that If they would receive their former employes without prejudloe they had no doubt that traffic would be resumed at onoe. Theio overtures were scornfully rejected. Slnoe that time tremendous pressure haa been brought to bear upon the men at -Pullman to return to work, and It has been announced from day to day that the works would be opened. When the gates were opened only 811 out of 6,000 reported. It Is thus seen that the strike Is not yet at an end, and re appeal to all lovers of justice everywhere to give all moral, material and especially financial asslstanoe they ean to these men."

Asked to Desert Old Parties. The resolution then brings the American Railway union Into polltlos by the following appeal: "We also appeal to the people to desert the old polltloal parties- which have shown themselves equally Inimical to the Interests of the oommon people and friendly to the great vampire corporations of the land. Let none but friends of popular rule be put on guard throughout the nation, so that when the next struggle takes plaoe betwoen worklngmen and their oppressors It may not be found that militia, soldiery. constabulary, publlo proseoutors, courts, oongress and the president are ready to throw their Influence and authority on the wrong side. In this connection we oall attention to the praiseworthy fairness of Govs. Altgeld, Hogg, Walte, Pennoyer and Lewelling. and also the manly course of Mayor Hopkins, Chloago, whloh Indicates that the people might well expect the preservation of peace without the oppression of workingmen If they will but s«e to It that the men whom they seleot to office are not the mere hirelings of corporations.

Appeal for the People's Party. "Suoh a state of anarchy Is no longer endurable. These disagreements between employers and employes are Bt Intervals fought at enormous expense, not merely to the parties to the quarrel but to all the people of the oountry. These people are In this land of the free tho sovereign whose peace should not be disturbed and whose Interests should be preserved. The sovereign people should assert their right to rule. We. therefore, oltlzens of the republto. appeal to you, fellow-voters of our oommon country, to support the party which bears the name of the sovereign people, whloh party stands ready to pledge Itself that when Into Its hands Is given the government, disputes between employer and employe will be no longer the only exooptlons in the various states and the nation from the Jurisdiction ot the established courts. Let no man alt as your representative in state or national leglslsture who Is not pledged to the. adoption of a law which will oause all suoh differences to be submitted to the unprejudiced decision of a properly constituted oourt and jury, to the end that publlo peace may be permanently preserved and tremendous losses be no longer Inflicted upon all the oltlzens of the republic. And since the Amerloan Railway union has at no stage of this pursuit asked mote than this of their antagonists It is for this and nothing more that we come before you with this appeal."

He has been unconsoious slnoo last Friday and grew weaker and weaker until his strength was exhaustod. His ailment was Inflammation of the bladder and kldneyb. The bladder trouble had bothered him for years, but this was not considered dangerous until complications of the kidneys arose, from whioh he has been gradually sinking for some time, having been confined to his bed for two months. During the last three weeks he has failed rapidly. A year ago he announced that he would write a book on "Reoolleotions of a War Governor." He was busily engaged on this for some time, and it is believed this had something to do with hastening his end.

He was elected to oongress In 1800, 1868 and 1870.

During his last term he became somewhat antagonised toward the administration, and in 1879 took the stump for Horaoe Greeley. He was the demooratlc o&ndldate for governor in 1674, but was defeated, and a few years later returned to the party whioh he helped to organize, in 1888 he was elected on the repubiloau ticket as regent of the state university.

STOPPED THE GAMK.

CHICAGO, Aug. 8.—Time was called in the seventh inning of the ChicagoCincinnati baseball game Sunday afternoon at the West side park by the ory of fire, followed by soenes never before witnessed at a sporting event In this olty. Curiosity to see the firo led more than 1,000 spectators to rush into danger, and in their frantio efforts to extrloate themselves from their perilous positions they became panicstrlokeo. They found themselves hemmed in by fire on one

While Anson Was at the Bat. Capt Anson had just stepped to the home plate in the seventh inning when a red light began to flash and rise along the side stand, where the fiftycent speotators sit. There were 1,600 of them In the seats and 9,000 witnessing the game altogether. The breaking out of the fire oaused a general rush of the people In that part of the ground to the top of the stand to take a look, as there was no longer any game in progress. In a few minutes thev realized the danger of their position and broke for the narrow exits, whloh had already filled with smoke. The speotators who were in the grand stand and In the bleaohers were at a safe distanoe from the fire and got away into the field without any mishap. From that position they witnessed the destruction of the stands and the serious plight of the other less fortunate spectators.

In a Panlo.

The wood work of the stand and the piles of paper and other rubbish thrown around provided fuel for the flames whloh gained on the Imprisoned men anrl "'omen before they knew it. All was oon'nslon in an Instant among the occupants of the flaming wooden struoture. Women screamed in their freight and men got jammed agalnBt the sharp fence. The exits might as well not have been there hands,faces,limbs and clothing were cut and torn by the scrambling mass of humanity in trying to force a passage through the wire strands or over them. The fence would not give way, but Ryan and Wilmotmade a gap in it by using their bats like blacksmiths. Hundreds escaped that way. Mr. Hart had the fence behind the stand demolished 00 feet in width, but the crowd was beyond the stage of reason or observation. Five minutes after the last speotator had got out of reaoh of the flames every seat was being oonsumed. The grounds will be used to-day by fencing off the burned part.

The seriously Injured number but three. They arei E. W. Bartlett, lumped from roof of grand stand and broke his leg) Fireman E. O'Heain, head, faoe and hands burned while rescuing two small boys Oeorge Platky, badly out by barbed wire while saving his nephew, aged 4, In crush at the fenoe.

The exits were few and small and although other means of escape were provided by the qulok aotlon of players Ryan and Wilmot of the looal team and President Hart the imperilled and fear-orazed crowd bucked against the barbed fenolng. Their mad rush to get away from the advancing flames resulted in the injury of soores. Outs, bruises, contusions, a broken arm and leg were the injuries sustained. The property of the olub was damaged $18,000 before the fire department extinguished the flames. A oigar stub thrown among rubbish started the fire.
