TAPER FOR THE I-EOPLE,

MAN ABOUT TOWN.

The contest between a railway labor 'organization and tbe employers is not -observed with more intelligent interest •or more nollcitude in any city than in Terre Haute. Tbe reason for this is that this is the home of Eugene Debs, tbe man who is attracting international attention as a labor leader. Besides the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen is located here and the issue of supremacy between the railroad companies and Debs' American

Railway Union is no more involved In tbe present struggle than is tbe issue of supremacy between the American Railway Union and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen. Indeed, those who are best acquainted with the peculiar relations of the various railway labor organizations are already endeavoring to forecast the future of these orders and confess that the task is too much for he

There is no doubt that the strike will result in a very general defection in all the organizations, but the firemen's brotherhood will be the chief sufferer, temporarily at least. In that organization there is a Debs' following that will cling to him though he be utterly routed in the tight he is making at the bead of the American Railway Union. He was it« secretary and treasurer for twelve years and was looked upon as the inspiring spirit whoever may have been the grand master. He is even yet tbe •editor of tbe Firemen's Magazine, tbe official organ of the brotherhood Firemen by thousands have virtually ignored the laws of the order and their loyalty "to "brotherhood contracts with railroad companies to enlist In the American

Railway Union strike. Of course, after defeat there will be many who will regret tbe day they went into the strike.

A great deal of twaddle is being printed in tbe Chicago newspapers about Debs' motives. Nearly all the attacks on him are based on the assertion th^ he organized the American Railway Union because he could not supercede Sargent as grand master of the firemen Debs could have been grand master before Sargent was first elected and. there has not been a time in ten years when he could not have influenced the brotherhood conventions to do whatever he wanted done. The fealty of his personal following is beyond comprehension. It is in evidence in this strike. .While it Is true that tbe worklngmen were ripe for such a strike, that a year'a spirit of unrest had made men ready to join in any movement by which they might give vent to their dissatisfaction with the conditions of the industrial world, yet Debs' personality was a very big factor in causing tho strike to take on the stupendous proportions of an incipient revolution.

The president of the American Railway Union has belloved for more than a year that the country had to pass through a peaceful revolution, that the relations of the "producing class" and the "juoney power" might be readjusted. He believed that the purpose of lis union for the next year was to educate the people that new relations called for anew organisation. I know that two months ago he was emphatically opposed to any more strikes while the era of hard times continued. He wanted tbe people to learn bow the wage earner was made to suffer reductions In wages that the Interest charges and dividends might be met on the millions of dollars of watered stock of the corporations. The Northern Pacific and Pullman strikes were firstclasa object lessons. Tbe investigation in the courts at Milwaukee brought out the fact that one clique of the "money power" which had had control of the Northern Pacific bad been buying from themselves at enormous prices a lot of branch roads which cost them comparatively nothing. The result was more water and more Interest charges, and wages were reduced. AtPullman wagee were reduced three times in a year. It was coincident that the day following the last reduction, George M. Pullman gave $100,000 to the Field museum and a week later the Pullman town, the "model industrial town*' corporation

iSZ.

was paying a quarterly dividend of two per cent, on millions of dollars of "vatered stock. It was such .facts as these that Debs wanted to be so generally appreciated that tbe people would insist on new relations between capital and labor. But the impetus of the sentiment of revolt carried him along with it.

There has been no disorder here that is none to speak of in comparison with what is reported at other places. No strikers or strikers' sympathizers have been obstructing the passage of trains. It is true that men have congregated in tbe yards and a few have been about tbe depot, but there has been nothing in the way of public disorder. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois asked for police protection, not against violence, out against trespass, offering to pay tbe policemen for their service. Part of the time this police service was worse than a farce. Strikers were permitted to g{ into tbe round house. While there sonde of them thought they saw a pistol in the pocket of anew engineer. He was arrested but tbe pistol turned out to be a wrench. Mr. John E. Lamb, lawyer, politician and municipal boss, who is attorney for the C. A E. I. was out of the city. If he had been here he would have had to order his police force to do their duty, thus making enemies for bis future political schemes, or given the compauy what the gamblers call tbe "double cross." •i

A man who was asked if be was wear lng the white ribbon of the A. R. U. replied that theouly ribbon be would wear would be a red, white and blue one.

In 1892 the Republican party lost tbe election because wage earners thought that although they were getting steady employment at good wages, someone was receiving too big a share of the wealth created by labor. The "Carnegie Castle" did it. There was a prevalent belief that the division was not equitable. Throughout the industrial world to-day there is the same belief. The wage earners of Terre Haute believe it. Pullman is tbe Carnegie of 1894. He is a marquis and gives $100,000 at a crackto have It heralded that he is a public benefactor. I do not want to be couBidered as an alarmist, but tbe truth is that the men of wealth do not appreciate the portentieus character of the coming storm. The A. R. U. strike Is a preliminary skirmish. Not that there will be civil war or anything in that direction but there will be attempts at law making to change the results of human endeavor. It is not an inviting field for an intelligent legislator—that of bringing about tbe millenium by an act of congress—but it will be attempted. I quoted a Terre Haute millionaire a few weeks ago ss saying that the better remuneration of labor was a problem statesmen ought to consider. He kuows a oyolone when be sees it coming, but there are not many millionairs who do.

The crank who is parading the streets wearing a "sweater" shirt on which are worked the words "God Loves Me" and who carries a bible in his band, asked Dlckbout to give him a trunk. The trunkmaker said be couldn't afford to do it. "I preach without pay," replied the crank. "That's all right," retorted Dlckhout, "but I've got a bigger invest ment in raw material than you have.'*

DKMOCRA TIC CONVENTION Tbe Democratic primaries to select delegates to thecounty and congressional conventions have been called for July 16tb, and thecounty convention for July 28th. In the townships the primary meetings will be held next Saturday. The candidates are not as numerous as before the recent Republican convention, and as far as known the following is a list of the candidates, announced and suggested by their friends:

Superior Judge—E. F. Williams, Fin-

1 peril

ley McNutt. Repieeentatives—Peter Kester, V, Barlow, Donn M. Roberts.

Tbe older organizations, tbe brotherhoods, will lose members, it is true, but some of the friends of these orders R©& fc Co., and captured a new Union believe that in the end they will be I bicycle belonging to Charles Balcb, city

healthier and surer of respect and more capable of efficient service for the railway employe than before the strike. Tbe reasoning of these friends is that the "£ot heads" and "agitators" will have gone, freeing the conservative members from tbe frequent necessity of "setting down" on these trouble makers inside tbe organizations.

The Vandalia engineers and firemen, at least about 100 of tbem, held a meeting Thursday night and agreed that they did not want to join in the strike, but they did not want to be forced to do work that would come under tbe bead of "scabbing." Accordingly tbey appointed a committee to wait upon General Manager Williams who told them when they called yesterday that be was glad tbey came before taking action. As a result of the conference an agreement was arrived at which was mutually satisfactory and, it is safe to say, put beyond question the probability of a strike en the Yandalia system.

A STERN CHASE.

A True Storj of How Bicyclist 6«o. Bo*m11 Didn't Cspton Bkyel* TUctm.

The bicycle thieves who have been making life miserable

treasu rer-elect. When the theft was discovered the police at once notified Geo. C. Rossell, the senior member of the firm, who lives on south Twelfth street, and although it was then about three o'clock in the morning he decided to make an effort to trace the thief. He didn't clothe himself as fully as a man attending a full-dress reception—in fact, being a military man, and with a view to making a forced mjircb, or rather a forced run, he was clad in light march ing order. On his feet he wore a pair of slippers—only these and nothing more. When he reached the store he discovered bicycle tracks running Out back of the Terre Haute to Cherry, and he followed them to Seventhj where on tbe asphalt all trace was lost. But he isn't the kind to give up, so be mounted his wheel for a spin up that street, and when be reached the V»tJalia, where the asphalt ends, be discovered fresh bicycle tracks, and these he followed, up Seventh, into the Lafayette road, and on and on. He had followed the tracks several miles, and the dawn had just begun to make distant objects' visible, When he discovered two wheelmen making their way up a slight hill a few hundred feet in advance. His heart gave a thump when he saw them, for here, thought be, are the thieves. But his heart soon ga.ve a second thump, for hd realized that he was but half as numerous as they, ^nd he was unarmed. Here's a place for strategy, again he thought,and he proceeded to put it into effect. He pumped up a full head of steam, caught up Wjth the other wheelmen and then passed them with the speed Of a whirlwind. When he was some yards in advancpjie stopped suddenly, put his hand on the pocket where the pistol is supposed to abide, and cried, "Stop, thieves l", Biit they didn't stop at all at all, and bis heart gave several more thumps at about a 1:56 gait, and he wondered where, he would be "at" in a few moments. Then the wheelmen rode up, asked him what ailed him, and disclosed tbe fact that they were Normal students, who were going to their homes in Kokomo, on wheels, and weren't riding Unions. But for the fact that he was wearing slippers, and couldn't do the subject justice, Mr. Rossell would probably have kicked himself all the way back to town. As it was, be rode back a madder, sadder, wiser man.

Mr. Balob, whose wheel*was stolen, hadn't begun to practice yet, but in anticipation of it had purchased a barrel and a half of arnica and twelve dbzen porous plasters, for which be has no immediate use be will therefore offer the same at public auotion at four o'clock next week, tbe proceeds to be turned into the treasury of the Kyophoscomic club composed of bicyclists with bent backs 1HE DEATH ROLL.

CELEBRATION OF 2HE FOURTH. The Elks can well feel proud of the manner in which the glorious Fourth was celebrated here. The aflklr was judiciously advertised, and much interest was created in the day's events in consequence. Tbe Industrial parade was one of the finest ever seen here, and many of the wagons were very finely decorated. The Hughes Decorating Co. carried off the prise for the finest wagon, and alee that for the best comic,,wagon, while the boys of the aerial truck won the prise for the beet decoration on the department.

wded in the afternoon and evening, where a very interesting programme of eyents was given, including bicycle, sack, horse and other races, in the evening these being given by search light. The electrical display, under the direction of President Harrison, of the street car company, was unique and very attractive, and reflected much credit on his energy.

1'* THE BIG STRIKE. Advices from Chicago this morning report an alarming state of aflairs there, and it looks as if the trouble can only be quelled by a resort to extreme force. Here in Terre Haute there has been no violence, and will be none, as the local members of the A. R, U.and kindred organizations are conservative, law-abid-ing men, and do not believe in destroying property to gain their end. The freight offices are all closed, and the office forces have been laid off, for with no freight moving there is nothing to be done.

TheCentral Labor Union has expressed its sympathy with the A R. U. strike, and there is no question but that if called on for a sympathetic strike the majority of tbe local labor organizations would go out pp

A SPLENDID NEW STORE?®* After the elos6 of business last Saturday night Schluer fc Foulkes moved their entire stock of goods to their new location, 681 Wabash avenue, next door east of the Adams Express office. Tbe new room, which was fitted up especially for them, is the largest single store room in the city, being 142 feet long and 25 feet wide. It has been fitted up in elegant style, and gives them a store room of whloh they feel justly proud. The enterprise shown by this energetio firm deserves the recognition it has received, and in their new location they will undoubtedly meet with a liberal increase in business^ an Increase commensurate with their enlarged facilities.

A CORRECTION.

The Mail, two or three weeks ago, contained an item reflecting on the manner |n which Sheriff Stout's deputies served the papers in the injunction suit against some* miners over the river. We have since learned that an injustice was done the offioiais referred to, and this correction is therefore gladly made, as The Mail desires to do no one an injustice.
