New York, July 10.- John Ryan, who comes here as the representative of President Debs, was at the Continental hotel. "The strike," said Ryan, "will not stop here. My errand is to organize the laborers of the east. I ani confident of suceeeding. My work up to the present time has borne fruit ten times more than I expected it would. I was cautious at first about approaching the leaders upon the subject of striking in sympathy, but my first attenipt has convinced me that there was no ground for holding back. I was somewhat surprised to ascertain that the feeling here to strike was pretty warm. "I go to Boston ou the next train. I have everything in this city fixed up to my owu satisfaction and am in hopes to meet with the same result in Boston. I will not say that labor in this city will strike out of sympathy for the men in Chicago, but will say that they are liable to, which amounts to about the same thing. In the event of the striko reaching Buffalo, which in my mind is a sure thing, it will not stop there. "It is part, of my business to ascertain just how far it will reach, and from present indications I am safe In making the statement that Portland and all other New England cities will be made to feel we are in earnest. If the trouble continĂșes five days longer all easteru roads wiil be tied up. All wires are ready, and when Debs sees fit. he will pull them. Then look out for squally times till Pullman gives in." Ryan has left for Boston.
