Thin action of tho strike lenders was taken, they claim, not because of impending defeat, but in order tluit they should l?e in harmony with the suggestion President Cleveland made in announcing that he would appoint a commission of arbitration. The refusal of the general managers to even consider the proposition which would necessitate tho dismissal of all men engaged to fill the strikers' places and would place them again in the power of the organization which had paralyzed their lines for days, was a decided set back to the union. Following it came the result of the two days deliberations of the conference of labor leaders called by Hnmuel Oompers, of tho American Federation of Labor. The leaders of sll the big organizations outside of the American Railway Union and the Knights of Labor decided not to involve the men they represent in anv local strike.
