be arrayed against tbe laboring people
in the contest or find myself out of the

faleo statement tbat tbs injunctions
naa not been observed aud that federal
protecliou was imperative.
"I care as little for tbe proposed
grand jury ludictments as I do for the
injunctions. I have ordered no boy
cott or strikes personally aud
bave merely acted us the servant of
ray orgouization. I will fight
fur tbe union to tbe hat, and as
I bave no intention of violat
ing tbe laws of tbe country I stand in
no tear of the federal grand jury. The
action is instigated by the managers.
What do you think of a prosecuting
attorney who bad to be told to iudict
or prosecute violators of tbe law?"
WILL CALL ON MAYOR HOPKINS.
President DfTs said further that in
company with Vice President Howard
and director William Burns, wbo have
been selected to set as a board, be will
call upon Myor Hopkins at the latter'
request, at 11 o'clock tomorrow, when
it is expected to meet with the council
committee, and in all probability with
representatives of tbe Genoral Man
agers association.
As ye; the union officials art not
looking upon the meetiug aa auything
but one called in order to meet tbe
council committee and not until tbe
managers are present will any other
view be taken. The expeetd action of
Attorney Milchrist iu calling a special
8t'8ion of the federal grand jury un
der Instructions from Washington to
iudict President Debs snd bis as
sociates under a fiction of tbe federal
law, which can be nude uie of, is
looked upon with much foreboding
and doubt by the more thoughtful
an J conservative. The dangers aris
ing from au arrest and detention of
D.bs are regarded as too serious by
mauy.
