He gets the Floor by a Private
Understanding with the

He brings the President and Attorney
Of the Railroad upon the Floor
Of the House.
IEo violates the Instructions OF his
Committee.
AND CARRIEs THROUGH L BILL WHICH
DEPRIvEs 1000 PEOPLE OF THEIR
HOMES

y few days ago we received letter from
Republican friend in Henry county, say
ing that Mr. iIawley was flooding every
post Office in that county with pamphlet
explaining his action on the railroad land
grab, and asking US to review it and eN-
pose its fallacies or errors if il contained
any We have not seen the pamphlet
Mr. Iiawley never sends anything 10 TIE
/ ABGUS-but we presume our friend will
find in the following letter complete an
swer to anything Mr. Hawley has or can
say. The letter is from the Hon James
r. Mccormick. member of Congress from
Missouri. and. with Mr. Hawley, member
Of the Committee on Public Lands The
letter was addressed to the editor of the
7 ynj,a, and in publishing it the editor
says
MIR Hawley has always protessed to
hc the earnest opponent OF all measures
involving a donation of public lands to
railroad companies. Therefore when he
became the champion of bill to donate
some ~, 900 acres to the Chicago, Rock
island 4 Pacific Railroad Company, PEG
pie naturally began 10 inquire upon what
grounds he did this We waited several
weeks for a copy of the bill and were fire
queuuy interviewed as to the actual merits
OF the measure Finding that Mr. Haw
ley was not disposed to give Us any intor
nation on the subject we wrote to Mr..
Mccormick. Congressman from Missouri
and member of the Land Committee with
Mr.. Hawley. and asked him for q copy Of
the act together with Il brief statement
Of its Objectionable feature
1t was charged, when the hin passed,
that $4,000 we're expended TO secure it,
passage. President Grant did not sign the
bill but in a cowardly way, permitted it
t, take effect by keeping it ten days in hi,
hands II the hin was right he should
have signed it, II 1t was wrong he should
have voiced it, and thus given an oppor
tunity for investigation.

The Ten Hour Strike in Rhode Island.

We clip the following words If warning
to the mill owners Of Rhode Island, from
the Lar, cHce Jo0,1,oi OF May nth
The operatives Of Rhode Island have
again and again sought interview with the
employers ia order to come To- some terms
with them IN regard to the reduction of the
hours Of labor. IN many cases an inter
view was positively refused. the wishes of
tie operatives treated with contempt IN
fact, the lordly mll-uwners would not con
descend to treat those whose labor had pro
duced all they possessed rs men, as equals,
as children Of one common father. NJ,
these breadwinners were looked upon
merely rs slaves. and as To- hours of labor
not to be consulted
The operatives at last resolved that they
would No longer he dictated tu Nv the few.
who had grown rich from the labor " 9TH
ers. They resolved that after the first nf
May they would give but ten hours As "a
days labor At least, two months notice
Was gwen e. the employers. The hrst of
May came, and i'll most cases the factory
owners struck and refused admittance "
their operatives when they presented them
selves at the gates the next morning
worked fortnghts notice, the factory
owners Of OlneyvIlle refused To pay them
them their wages at the regular pay day
Crowds IF women and children patiently
waited IN the pouring rain To receive their
hard earned money. Not a cent was forth
coming, and the poor, wet, thiuly clal
creatures staggered u their homes
Police were stationed to protect thieves
and prevent the operatives from taking the
money due them A night or two after
wards croSd collected near the residence
Of the Superintendent Of the mill and
raised a cry Of Bread or Blood VIII
can blame them When fathers and moth
crs looked Oh their children who pleaded
for bread and knew that what was undis-
putably theirs the product Of anxious.
crushing, wcarln. labor was refused them.
who could have blamed them If they had
resorted to physical force and wIth the cry
Of Bread or Blood. swept forward EN
NASsE to take possession Of what was really
their due You may say that the proper
way IS to appeal to the courts. But hun
ger cannot wait Tor a decision. II the
employer il determined tU withhold what
il Justly due, We do not blame the opera
tive if he takes it by virtue Of the strength
remaining ~ his Own right arm Ii our
children were furnishing and some rich
scoundrcl Withheld from them the bread
which We had honestly earned. We would
cry BREAD OF Blood. We would not
permit our children Ia die with hunger,
while We waited for the courts to decide
between us and the robber II We had the
strength we would seize our own At al
hazards
Let the factory lords beware or they may
rouse the sleeping tiger, and the cry n
" Bread or Blood may have a stern sud
terrible meaning.
We are not among those W. have used
harsh measures We would be sorry tn zee
ri"tous proceedings but the operatives VI
Rhode Island have justice un their siic
and have our full sympathy
