—————— DEBS OFFERS PEACE TERMS TO END THE GREAT STRIKE SUBMITTED. The Rallroad Managers Asked to Relnstate All Strikers Not Charged With Crime, But They Refused to Treat With Debs Shot Down by Regulars. The great strike at Chicago and in the territory tributary to that city of railway men in sympathy with the striking working- men at Pallman ended in conditional sur- render of the strikers. President Debs, bf the American Rallway to the Boarl of Goneral Manager, through Mayor Hopkins, of Chicago, an offer to declare the strike off {f the mane agers would agree to take back the men without prejudices, excepting those con- vioted of violence, The General Managers returned this letter to the Mayor un- answered on the ground that they could not recognize the American Rallway Union, Mr. Debs said that the rejection of his offer would cause a renewal of the fight, and that all his resources would be devoted to its tuaintenance, President Debs submitted certain terms to the Assoeiation of Railroad Managers. In brief they ware, “1. That arbitration as proposed by Presi dent Cleveland be entered upon, ‘2. That all the striking employes, except those who had been gulity of criminal mis- eonduot, shall be restored to thelr positions without prejudice by the railroad panies,” Heo said that the proposition was inspired by a desire to subserve the public good, as the strike, small and unimportant in its in- ception, had extended until “it now involves or threatens not only every public interest, but the peace, security and prosperity of our common sountry.” This proposition was signed by Debs, How ard and Keliher, the prinoipal officers of the American Railway Union, It was taken by them to Mayor Hopkins, who at their request presented it to Chairman Bt, John, of the General Managers' Association. The as sociation was nol in session, but after the individual members had been ne suited, the paper was returned to May Hopkins without answer and with the in fcrmation that no commu ation whate from Debs, Howard and Keliher coul received or considered by the Managers’ Association. This action of the strike leaders was taken, they assert, not because of impending de- feat, but in order that they should be 1n har- mony with the suggestion President Cleve land made in announcing that he would ap- point a commission to investigate the strige troubles, The refusal of the General Managers even to consider the proposition, the acceptance of which would | Union, sent coms necessary the dis missal of all men engaged to filithe strikers places and would place them again in the power of the organization which i paralyzed their lines for days, was consider by many a decided setback to the anion Following it came the result of the days’ deliberations of the conference bor leaders called by Samuel Gompers, o the American Federation of Labor. The leaders of all the big organizations out- side the American Railway Union and the Knights of Labor decided not to involve the men they represent in any looal or general strike, They expressed sympathy with the Puliman employes, but declured a strike at this time of general business de- pression an act of folly. Strike Manager Egan declared that as far as the roads were concerned, the strike was already at an end, If the men wished to stay out of work, that was none of the busi- ness of the General Managers. All the roads first. and the managers had nothing to say be the facet that they felt they had been grisviously injured and that much of their property bad heen wantonly destroyed, and they did not see why they should grant favors to the people who had done them all this harm Mayor Hopkins made a strong plea aettiement of the whole matter f maka ' {se pointe ra 1 out that if the General Managers refused to accept this proposition, the troops must kept guarding he city for at least two weeks more, entailing a Joss of many thousands of dollars on the State, snd that t be more rioting and bioo While these measures 0 were being taken iu Chicago rences were witnessa’' in the killing of four members of Battery L Fifth Artillery, United States Army, in train wrock At the trestle two miles fr Sacramento, Cal, was ia a measures a by regulars belonging to the same ¢ tw » men, both, however, dis sisimin strikers, being shot One was wounded, Shortly before 11 o'clock Division Supe tendent Wright ordered a switch engines fiat ear to clear the track along Fro contiguous to the headquarters of ers Fearing that an attempt would be m shoot the engineer and Roberts and Lis L, with a nun v | fiat car The men jeored a lors, an Roberts ordered his to charge the with bayonets J ust whether from hers might ished end the stirrin ooour West The tenant Sker svoral shots were fired, but the crowd or from the roof of the freight sheds, occupied by a number of men, it 18 not positively known, But this was just the moment the regular had been waiting for, and they returnsd the fire.
