In conversation with an officer OF the Compan,
YESTERDAY, the reporter was told tha
No reduction was contemplated. and ::
strike was altogether improbable on the scor,

no doubt cndeavor to influence them to totn tht
movement and bolster it up. He did not be-
lerc, though, that the men would listen to an,
sncn evil counsel, and from what the renortn,
could ret out OF the men hc is inclined to fha,
opinion also. As one Of them we'll expressed It,
TIC general feeling is that 1t would be i'd
foolish for us to strike, and take the bread right
out Of our o"n mouths" In short, an air of
general content prevails, and the officers cxpeet
no trouble.
PITTsBCRG, CINCINNATI 4 ST. LOUIS
The men on the Pittsburs, Cincinnati g. St.
Lonis Road, while not receiving princcly com
pcnsattons, are not disposed to strike. They
eay they tried that thing about four years aeo
aud they had all they wanted OF it then. since
thea there have been two or three reductions.
aod now comes this reduction OF 10 Der cent.
which has recently gone into effect Under the
present schedule Of wages, a freight en-
einecr recet@es $500, and his fireman
*1.Ss, for III mile run; q passenger
engineer, 1905, aad his fireman $l.52; con-
struction-traln engineer $40, and his f1zcmap
SI35, all Tor the same distance; and an engineer
on switch-ensine s., aud his fireman s1.35, a
day. The wages are low, they say,-too Low, In
tact, toilet them live eren halfway and support
their families, but thcr realize the folly Of
strikes, and propose to submit as gracefully as
possible to the inevitable.
