FOR THE STARVING.
Gov. Altgeld Pleads for the Poor of Pullman.
AN APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC ISSUED.
The Governor first DrRM (.•' rga H. Pallman to Help Bis Former Kmployea, Now Destitute, lint the Magnate Hefuse..
THK GOVKHNOR'8 PROCLAMATION. CHICAGO, Aug. 22.—Just before returning- to Springfield Tuesday night Gov. Altgeld issued a proclamation to the people of Illinois, asking them to send contributions to relieve the starving strikers at Pullman. He also addressed a letter to the oounty commissioners, calling their attention to the suffering In Pullman and urging thom to furnish Immediate assistance. The letter to the county commissioners 1b expected to seoure food enough to keep the strikers olive .ntll responses to Gov. Altgeld'* proclamation begin ooming In.
Tho appeal to the people was not made until the governor had satisfied himself that the Pullman aoiupany would do nothiug to relieve the distress. Tho governor engaged, during the day, in a spirited correspondence with Mr. Pullman, but oould get no promise that officers of the company would help starving tenauts. "As you refuse to do anything to relieve tho suffering in thiB case," the governor wrote to Mr. Pullman, lu oloslng the correspondence, "I am oompelled to appeal to the humanity of the people of Illinois to do so."
He therefore issued the following proclamation from his room in the Sherman house late Tuesday night:
The Appeal.
"To tho l'eople of (.lie Mtute of Illinois and Especially Those of the Clly of Chloago: There 1h great distress growing out of the want of food in [ind around the town of Pullman. More than 1,000 fumillua. or lu tho neighborhood of 8.000 people, are utterly destitute—nourly four-fifths of them are women and children. The men have endeavored to set work, but wero unuble to do so. I have mtido a personal examination of tho case and learn from the offloors of the Pullman company that prior to the sir
Ike they
had 8.280 names on the pay-roll yesterday they had 8.230 people at work, but over 000 of these were now mon, so that they have only about 1,600 of their old employes at work, leaving about 1.0G0 that have not been taken back. Several hundred of these have le(t, but the remainder are unable to go away and have nothing to eat. I And that Immediately after the beginning of tho strike a relief association was formed to provide for the needy, and the books of this atjsoolatlon show that 2.468 applications wero made by the Pullman employes, mostly heads of families, to this association for aid—in fuct, nearly all of the employos exoept the few hundreds who left have been supported by oharlty for nearly throe months. "As a rule they are superior oluss of laboring people, industrious, oapable and steadv, and some of them have worked for the Pullman compuny for more than ten years. Those who have been given work oan get food, but are still in such an impoverished condition that they cannot help their neighbors if they would. The relief society is unable to get more supplies. On last Saturday It gave to each family two pounds of oatmeal and two pounds of oornmeal, and having nothing left it suspended operations, leaving the people In an absolutely helpless condition. The oouuty commissioners of uook oounty, as overseers ot the poor, have rendered some assistance, but owing to a limited appropriation they can furnish roller but for a short time. "We cannot now atop to Inquire the oause of this distress. The good people of this state cannot allow women and children by tho hundred to perish of hunger. I therefore call upon all humane aud churltablv-dlsposed citizens to contribute what they oun toward giving relief to these peoplo. 1 um satisfied that uny contribution sent to the Pullman relief oommlttee at Keuslngton, 111., will be judlolouBly distributed. 1 find their treasurer has given bond to properly uccount for all monoys received. "Aug. Si. JOHN P. AI.TGELD. Governor."
County Asked to Aid.
The governor also sent a communication to the commissioners of Cook county appealing to them as the officers upon whom devolved the duty of providing for oases of this kind to do the uttermost In their power to furnish immediate assistance to the people in distress.
Pullman Appealed To.
The correspondence between Gov. Altgeld and George M. Pullman in relation to the destitution in the town was given to the press by the governor. It began last Sunday, when the governor sent a telegram to Mr. Pullman from Springfield In rosoonse to a number of appeals made to him by strikers for assistance. In thlsdlspatoh the governor tells Mr. Pullman that although tho state of Illinois has not the least deBire to meddle in the affairs of the company it cannot allow a whole community within its borders to perish of hunger and Informs the president of the company that unless relief comes he would either have to call a special session of tho legislature to make
nil
appropriation or else issue an
appeal to the humane people of the state to give bread to the company's former employes. He adds: "It seems to mo j-ou would prefer to relieve the situation yourself, especially as It has just cost the state upwards of 860,000 to protect your property."
In a letter written Tuesday to President Pullman, the governor makes a statement of the condition of the starving people, based on his tour of investigation and Inquiry made the day before at Pullman. He tells Mr. Pullman that something must bo done at onco aud adds: "1 repeat that it seems to me your company cannot afford to have me appeal to the charity and humanity of the state to save the lives of your old employes, no matter what caused the distress. He makes the suggestion that the company cancel all rente due to Ootober 1, and work some of the men half time, so that all can get something to eat for their families.
Pullman's Answer.
In reply to this lett«r Mr. Pullman makes a long statement blaming those who are ldlo for being In their present condition and declaring that the oompany did not know there was any such Extended distress as represented to the governor. He says the fall force lias been engaged lor the work In hand and makes the allegation that a considerable number ot the men
ORAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2$ 1894
had periistently refused to apply for work at any time, considering themselves still on (trlke. He says the question of oanoelllug rents Is not one that should b« given first attention and announce* the polloy of the oompany to be to employ only as many men as It 1* possible to furnish work for on full time, beoanse of the erroneous Impression hall time work would oreate as to the rate of wages.
A Caustic Reply.
GOT.
Altgeld makes a cauatlo reply
to Mr. Pullman's letter refusing to enter Into a dtsous»ton of the merits of the controversy and aaaerting that if the president had seen what the governor had Men In Pullman he would be oonvlnoed that none of the sufferer* had drawn money from the bank a few week* ago, as alleged by Mr. Pullman in his letter, he oonoludes with the statement that as Mr. Pullman had refused to do anything to save his old employes from perishing of hunger the governor would be oompelled to appeal to the humanity of the people of Illinois to do so.
BOTH PERI8H.
A Tonne Couple Drowned In Peoria Lake A Fatal QnarreL PIORIA, 111., Aug. 98.—There was a
terrible fatality on Peoria lake at a late hour Monday night. Harry MoCoy and Miss Josie Cclwell lost their lives. The aooldent is shrouded in mystery and it Is probable the full de tails will never be know. Monday evening they went for a ride on the lake. They were in the best of spirits and that was the last time they were seen alive. About 10 olook Mrs. Berry, who resides on the river bank near the foot of Green street, was aroused by hearing some one quarreling In a boat. She listened for a time and looked out on the bright moonlit waters. She oould see the boat and the paople in it and plainly heard the angry words of a woman. She retired, and a few minutes later, when the quarreling had ceased, again looked out. The boat was still there, but It was empty. She oalled to a neighbor, Charles Sweet, who rowed to the boat. He found In It two hats, one a man's and the other a woman's, and near by a ohair-baok with the man's ooat on it These were towed to shore and soon Identified as McCoy's. It was not until morning that the woman was found to be Miss Colwell, who, during her residence here, had borne an untarnished reputation and had never previously kept company with anyone. A reward was at onoe offered for McCoy's body, but it was not until early in the afternoon that it was found. A few hours later Miss Colwell's body was found about 10C yards away. Her apparel showed signs of a struggle and It Is supposed the accident occurred while she was fighting for her honor. She was about 20 years ot age and a beautiful woman.
TWO OF A KIND.
Fatal Boiler Explosion* In Iowa tud Illinois. KJ-WOOP CITY. Ia., Aug. 82.—A boiler
explosion oocurred 4 miles from this place In a sawmill on the Smith farm Monday. Levi Boiler and his son Harry, of Fumbell, Mercer county, were both Instantly killed and Logan MoBlvalne, of Wurtemburg, is dying. The steam gauge failed to work after sixty pounds of steam had been registered. The boiler was blown 400 feet away. John Longwell, of Zellenopole, was standing beside the boiler and escaped unhurt.

PROGRESS OF TIIK INQUIRY. CHIOAOO, Auf. ®.—Reporters told the story of tho Pullman-railroad strike Tuesday to the national strike oommlsslonors. RepresetHtives of moot ot tbe Ohloago newspapers were on the witness •tand during the day. Tbey were practically unanimous In tho declaration that hardly any of the strikers took part in the sots of vlolenoe or obstruotlon during tho riots. They testified that most of the overt acts wero committed by hoodlums who hsd no connection with the railroad*, With one or two exceptions all branded the United States spooial deputy marshals as lnofflolent and a sourcc of ooastant Irritation to the strikers, ftaw No Bailroad Men.
Maloolm Mopowell, a reporter for a morning paper, told of hli observations during the trouble at Blue Island and the stock yards. He had seen oars overturned and prop* erty destroyed, hut did not reoognlio any of those oonoerned In the work as railroad men, although they woro white ribbons, When Marshal Arnold read the United States court Injunotlen the orowd Jeered and hooted. 'Many of the men did not seem to understand the injunction. Several Amerloan Railway union men mounted a oar and told the orowd the nature of the injunotlon and advised them to leave the railroad property alone. Soon after the orowd dispersed. He told of riotous soenes at Blue Island, and sold that much of the trouble was caused by deputy United States marshals, who were aggressive. Insulting and always seeking to provoke trouble. At Blue Island they Jeered at and Insulted the women.
Ray Hammond, another reporter, told of the firing on the orowd byt the United Mates troops at Hammond. A small crowd of men. led by a tough from Chicago known as "Pat," attempted to overturn a Pullman car. Around them a great orowd of women and ohlldren and a tew men had leathered when tho United States troops arrived and begttn firing without warning. Several men and women were shot. Not one ot them had anything to do vrlth the attempt to overturn the oar. Nod'j oi' the men who attacked the car bolongod to vhe Amerloan Hallway union. Mr. Baker saw the trouble at Kenslngtou. The A. U. men did their
bCHt,
he said,
to quiet the mob. and told all their men to ata.v at home. The oonduot of the deputy marshals was very bad. There were more oases of drunkenness among the marshals than among the strikers.
Deputies Again Hit Hard.
H. T. Cleveland, a reporter for the Herald. waH next oalled. Ho saw a orowd of men. women and ohlldrcn upset Hovoral caru on the Rock Island tracks near Thirty-ninth street. Many In the crowd were women and small boys. \Vltno&s did not nee any railroad men in the crowd. Most of the porsouH In the crowd wore white ribbons, but this did not Indicate thai they sympathized with tho utrlkors. "I do not think that any of thouion engaged 1n that rioting ever did an houout duy's work In their lives," said'Mr. Cleveland. Keaardlng the deputy marshals Mr. Clcvelund said that so t»r as he had observed tho deputies were "a low. oontemptible lot of men."
NatC. Hutton, a reporter for tho Tribune, was the next witness. He told of the scenes at Blue Island wheu the injunction was read. Mr. Huttou saw some of the dorailed and upset curs on the Rook Island traoks. Most of this vlolenoe was done by men not strikiug nor railway employee. The deputy marshals did little or nothing to preserve order.
The commission was very particular to luguire of every reporter who gave testlmouy during the morning whother or not his accounts. written during the strike, had been ohanged or colored before they were put Into print. No Instance was found where such had been the case.
A Minister's Story.
Rev. M. H. Wlckinan, the Swedish minister at Pullman, told of the reduction of h.ts parishioners' wages. He said the Swedish labor, ers at Pullman were made to pay more rent at Pullman than at Roseland or other places lu the neighborhood. "Why, then," asked Chairman Wright, "do the men not live in Roseland or vicinity?" "They are commanded to live lu Pullman, on pain of dismissal. Even where men own homes outside of Pullman, if work beoomes slack, these men are the first laid off."
Mr. Wlckman told of the case of an employe who was injured tn the Pullman shops and obliged to stay at the hospital for nine weeks. During this time the oompany oharged him rent for his house in Pullman, refused to pay him any damages and cut down his wages when he returnod from the hospital, beoause his Injury prevented his doing as much work as formerly.
The Deputy Marshals.
Chief Deputy Marshal Donnelly testified that he had about 4,000deputies under him during the strike. He acknowledged that some of his men were inefficient, but denied that as a whole they were as worthless body as represented by the reporters. He did not reoognlse any strikei-6 amoug thouo whom he saw oommit violeuce.
In answer to further Inquiries Mr. Donnelly said the 8,000 or 4,000 deputies selected by the railroad companlos were not In oharge of anybody from the marshal's offloe they reported to no one unless to the detective service of the railroad oompanles, and the government had no direction of their movements or aotions. No certificates of oharaoter were required. Witness did not know whether these deputies re used to operate trains or not. He was recalled after he had left the stand to tell whether any pains had been used to disoover whether these deputies were citizens of the United States or not. He said they had had one man who was not a cltleen. That was In the marshal's office. He did uot know whether the men selected by the oompany were citizens or uot. (ton. Miles Answers President Debs.
Gen. Miles contradicts the statoment made by President Debs, of the Amerloan Railway union, before the strike oommlssion that hs visited the office of the general managers during the strike and oonsulted with tho railway officials.

Accompanying- the resolution is an address "to the members of organized labor and all other produoors and tollers throughout the Uulted States," which led to their adoption. The address deolares that "In view of the general distress, ut a time when granaries are full and in the natural Order of things producers and toilers should be enjoying the fruits of their labors, it seems that the time has oome for united action on the part ot those who oreate the wealth ot the oountry."
One of the causes which have brought about this condition, the address says, is the "departure from tho wise bimetallic financial prinoiple of Washington, Jefferson and Hamilton and the substitution of the monometallio policy dictated by tho European money holders and their American allies."
A review of financial legislation is given to show what part was enaoted in the interest of the produoing and what of the non-produciug olasses. The proposition is set forth that before the demonetization of silver 8,S00 bushels of wheat or 86,000 pounds of cotton equaled tho annual pay of a senator or congressman, while to-duy 10,000 bushels of wheat or 100,000 pounds of cotton barely suffice that formerly 88,000 bushels of wheat or 260,000 pounds of cotton would have paid the salary of the president, while to-da}' he receives the equivalent of 100,000 bushels of wheat or 1,000,000 pounds of cotton, and the same proportion applies to all other fixed salaries and increases.
Thousand, of Workmen Idle.
Uemorallzatfon of the food-pro-ducing sections is said to have caused the manufacturers to lose the markets for their goods so that hundreds of thousands of workmen have been thrown out of employment, and the demonetization of half the world's volume of money is said to have made it comparatively easy for capitalists to oorner and manipulate the other half.
In the review of financial legislation it is charged that all acts since the oivll war have been in tho interest of bondholders and against the producers, and tho Sherman law is said to have been repealed at the demand of European financiers, although a grand fight was made by the people's representatives.
The resolutions are as follows: "We demand of the prevent coiufreuN tho immediate return to the money of the constitution as established by our fatherH by restoring the free and unlimited oolnago of silver at the present ratio of 10 to 1. the coins of both metals to be equally full legal tender for all d.bu, publlo and private, as before tho fraudulent demonetiiatlon of sliver In 1478. "We also condemn the Increase of the national debt In the time of peaoe and the use ot Interest-bearing bonds at any tlms."
