AS A MATTER OF COURSE.

Our readers are aware that the Locomo-
tive Engineers are on strike. on the leas-
ed lines Of the Pennsylvania Central Rail
road Company, against reduction Of ten
per cent Of their wages The men claim
that it Is violation of their contract en-
tered into two years ago, to the effect, that
their wages should not be reduced without
their being consulted, hence the cause OF
the strike. While We cannot synpathize
with the Engineers, as We should under
other circu instances, because they have, ON
all occasions. held aloof from all other
trade organizations, We cannot help
thinking that the following order issued
from their Chief Engineer, Wilson, un-
just, uncalled for, and pusilanimous

carefully peruse it, and then act upon the
ideas suggested 10 his mind. This journal
has sustained itself against every adverse
circumstance and now comes out the very
