CHICAGO, July but three local onions of this city this morning decided to itpone the strike ordered by Grand Master Sovereign until Friday of this week, when they expect to be ready to give an answer.

All the street car lines in this city as well as elevated roads, are running today, as though there wag no strike. Stock yards are wiomopen and transacting business. known to you source. Kevieir the Cause. ''In the strained relations between corporations and the employees is involved a principle near and dear ro all right of labor to present its grievance to the owners and repre- eentayve? of '-orporate capital.

"The Palace Car company refused to arbii-ate the differences lietween itself and employees on the. ground that cars huilr bclr.w cost, and therefore there was no' hing to arbitrate. But the conclusion of every unprejudiced mind mast be that if were ihe true facts It could have nothinfr to fear at the hands of an arbitration committee. "Suppose t'lo Pullman company had invited labor to arbitrate, and organized labor had declined the invitation and refused to discuss the question as to whether there was anything to arbitrate not. It is needless to say wave of popular iuillL-nation would obliterate every labor organization from the face of this country, and no more could be formed for the next 50 years.

The stigma of such a position follow every name connected with i rganizeJ labor to the grave. ''But in present crisis corporations whose wealth has been created by labor tnko the position that they are prior and choke their creators. the brigands of old, they rob the laboring mases, and employ the g.vord and the bludgeon, and set up a thrcuo on the bones of the vanquished, and declare their divine right to rule over balance of mankind.

Mr. Pullman cries poverty to his starving employ-is, and then retreats to his princely sunnier mansion on Pullman's igland, in i lie- Lawrence river, and wires the men of Chicago that he lias nothing 'o arbitrate. Like a Nero, he met river. "Incendiarism, assassination and gen- eral destruction are usua.lv the last re; sorts of lawless men," said the general, "and a few such cases as these may be expected iimil we catch a few of the otfend- ers and punish them." A movement originated among a coterie of Pullman stockholders on the board of trade to induce the resident directors of the Pullman company ro brius their influence to bear on Pullman to yield' to demands for arbitration, or, if necessary, to call an emergency meeting of the executive committee of directors to act independent of the president in the interests of a majority of the ownership.

It. U. Also Indicted. July 11. Slowly, but steadily, calmly aii'l certainty, as bclits the supreme power of a great iiutiuu, throughout all that wide stretch of its domain where evil disposed persons are taking advantage of an exceptional industrial condition to causa riot and bloodshed, the federal government is moving to the accomplishment of that for which its powers were delegated to it by the preservation of order and the safety of life and property.

At Chicago, tn conjunction with the state and the municipality, it has already brought peace out of tne condition of war which prevailed last week. At San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles and at various points in Colorado and Washington where the unruly are causing havoc it has let slip tho dogs of war in token of its intention to have peace, even if it has to light for it. In tills city, the military arm having accomplished its purpose, the judicial arm has taken up the orderly course of its duties, which include the fixing upon tbe guilty parties the measure of tbeir crime and the fitting of the punishments thereto. The step in this procedure was tho assembling of tho federal grand jury and the delivery of the chaige to it by Judge Grosscup. The national authority is not to 1)6 turned aside from an exhaustive inquiry into tho cases which it has undertaken to upon by mere technicalities, and this was evinced at the outset by the brugqueuess with which was swept aside the plea of privacy and privilege which the Western I'nion Telegraph company, with a due for the privacy of the messages of its clients, was forced to put In vcheu the jury called fur the messages from Presiil.

He further slates that the long, louely, dark stretch along tbe circus lot between Lebanon Valley railroad and Green ctieet hhould have au arc to afford proper protection to people walking therein the evening. It will bo remembered that tho lale Israel Light was attacked there several years ago, while returning home from attending a meeting ot ihe Salvation Army and for which attack the guilty parties are still in the penitentiary.

Not only do our cilizeus visit this favorite drive, but they come from Aonville, Myerstown aud other neighboring villages. Last night a youug man from Annville made bis appearauce on the track with a dark bay horse hitched to a gig and the oiowd expected to see some unusual driving, but the driver WAS unable to handle him properly and he made a poor showing. Samuel Phillips, who owns, a stock farm in bouth Lebanon township, ana who occasionally visits Lehman street, will purchase a bicycle sulky to speed his stock. There are remarkably few accidents, considering the large number of persons driving there.

Ou Tuesday evening the first accident happened, caused bj two buggies colliding.The drivers and horses escaped injury, but the vehicles were slightly damaged. The familiar figure of Jake E. Grnm- bein with his driving horse was not seen last evening on Lehman street. The cause of it was that his horse trod in a nail, which penetrated his hoof to the depth of one and one-half inches.
