no one can doubt who will stop to con.
slider the matter fora moment The con.

been hopeless from the outset. No rail.
road strike was ever yet successful in the
history Of the country. A line Of railway
is too important as highway OF travel

nit Of blockade save Tor 4 very limited
time. Society rises up zen masse, asit were,
against an attempt to interrupt trade to
such an extent, and inevitably the power
ot government step' in to open up the
closed avenue. This IA the case now on
the Baltimore & Ohio road. The power
OF the U, S. Government has been sue.
csssIully invoked for its re.opening, and
the armed representatives of the Gov.

purpose. They will succeed a. mat.

mere question OF very short time Us
to the collapse Of the embargo. Those
engaged in it should not shut their eyes
to their position. They are standing on
illegal, dangerous and untenable ground.
Their weakness as we'll as their wrong
consists in the fact OF their interference
with the rights Of others. Every man has

by violence against innocent parties. An

both engines as they left the yard, and
neither was attacked, although a
large body Of strikers lay in am.
bush in sheds, adjoining the
Sand House, when their departure
as taking place. ! had the tracks and
depot yards cleared Of the crowds and
sent Capt. Miller with 20 OF the Guards
to support the sheriF in making arrests.
They secured but one man out OF the
number against whom warrants had been
issued, the others avoiding them. Just be-
fore this the sheriff and his depu-
ties had ten OF them whom
they undertook to arrest, but were
warned by the crowd that they would be
shot down il they laid hands on a man.
The railroad company could raise no
more crews this afternoon to run their
engines, but they will have men here at
8 A. NJ, when trains will be started under
guard as before. While the individual
feeling is no less intense the strike has
lost cohesiveness to-day. Should all 20

baltimore d. Ohio Line.


We publish in another column the
story Of the strikers on the Baltimore
road as told to a newspaper reporter.
II is one we'll calculated to appeal to
popular sympathy. No one can read it
aud not feel that these men have peculiar
hardships to complain of. Their life is
very unenviable one, not only on ac-
count OF its many dangers and hardships,
but also by reason OF the menSreness Of
their compensation in these times Of high
prices for the common necessities OF life. 1t
is hardly to be wondered at that, wrought
upto desperation by the scantiness Of their
pay, especially where they have depend
ent wives and children, they strike
out in II sort Of blind fury against
further decline in their wages. Long
ago it was said in England, by writer
on the wrongs Of the working masses OF
that country, that surely as much bread
aiamay need for as much work as man
may do, is the reasonable right OF all Of
Gods creatures" And yet il is true in this
country as in that, and especially so in
the last two years, that as much bread
AZ man may need IT, in many
cases, no. to bs earned by as
much work as man may do. This
state Of things grows out Of the inevitable
fluctuations Of demand and supply in the
matter Of labor, which is only an other
form iOr saying that it grows out of the
lack Of employment for great numbers oi
men who at some former time could have
commanded fair wages and steady work
Such state Of things is incident to the
universal shriukage that follows a panic
Sooner or later every man who labors
not less than all who make or sell mer.
chandise, is doomed to feel the effects
OF the blow that ia struck at the whole
fabric OF society by great commercial
revulsion. Those whose labor is in the
greatest excess, by reason Of its unskilled
character, have the least chance to pro
tect themselves against shrinkage. Thu

Reporter Of thu Blllimore American.
The more the grievances claimed by
the fireman and other employees are in
quired into the worse they appear. The
men all tell the same story, and do it in
way that it is apt to impress the hearer
strongly. A reporter Of The american,
with view OF getting something like a
fair statement Of the employees side OF the
question, singled out a conductor, a brake
man, an engineer and fireman, who are
yet in the employ Of the company and
recognized as sober, reliable men. Their
statements did not vary, and were after.
wards corrobOrAted by dozen or more
other employees. They state that not.
withstanding the large number Of
men dismissed from service by the
company during the past year,
there are yet more men employed
than the business Of the road justities.
This causes all OF the men 10 lose several
days in every week, as they cannot get
constant employment. The method pur.
sued by the Company in the working OF
the men is about the greatest grievance.
This method is economical, and in carry
ing it out the employees say they are treat.
ed Just as the rolling stock or locomo-
uyes, the Company failing to make the
slightest concession in their behalf. All
this trouble grows largely out Of the fact
that the Company, while hauling coed
amount OF freight eastward, has not
enough freight westward to load their
empty house cars. The heaviest freight
business Of the road in any one day Is IS
trains in each direction, but those west.
ward bound are largely made up Of empty
cars. This has led to the practice OF in.
creasing the number Of cars in freight
train, and consequently an increase oil
labor for the fireman and brakeman.
Il PtLING ON WORK.
Freight trains now have about eiph,
more cars attached than was the custom a
year ago, and brakeman often has over
twenty cars to attend to. The number Of
men on trains has been lessened 80 tha,
now there are only four men on train

neer and the fireman. To quote the ex,
preston OF one Of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad engineers, "the Northern Cen,
tral, which the Baltimore & Ohio calls a
one'horse road, has six men on every
freight train-a conductor, two brake.
men, tlagman, and the engineer and
fireman" The increase OF cars gives the
fireman nearly one.third additional work
to keep the engine supplied. The long
er the trains the greater the danger oi
accidents. On down grades, owing 10 the

yersed and all the brakes put on, q train
