WHAT THE UPRISING HAS DONE AND
IS DOING.

State, directly and indirectly, millions of dol
lars. They can afford it, but there was nc
necessity for their having the trouble which
within the knowledge of this writer, first
class clerks, men experienced in the business
Of railroad accounts could only get $50 per
month at the hands of the PennsylVania com
pany. And as the people have grown poorer,
| that corporation and others, taking advantage
| of the necessities of the laboring class, have
still further reduced the wages of their en-
ployes until now, mans days work will
barely keep himself in bread; and if he has a
| family they are reduced to a starvation pit
lance Of that which keeps body and soul to-
gethcr But the Pittsburg 'mob so called,
| has fetched things. Look here, and see what
! they have done for the railroad employees of
other parts:
San Francisco, July GA meeting was
held in Charter Oak Hall at l o'clock yester-
day, which was attended by a large number of
wOrk;ngmen. J. F. Darcy occupied the chair
The object of the meeting was to arrange
some mode of action with regard to the gen
| speakers expressed themselves in sympathy
/ with the efforts to get better wages, but dep
recated rioting and hloodshed. Recently the
| wages of the employees of the Central Pacific
| and other railroads in the State under the
same management were reduced ten per cent.
Saturday the Directors of the Company met
and decided to pay the full rates previously
paid, in silver, which is understood to be sat
isfactory to the employees.
That's glorious This c. P. Company never
before did better a business as they have
done this year, and yet they not only cut
dow1Atheir employees wages but paid them
off in silver
Cheyenne, July 23.-The employees of the
Union Pacific Railroad received notice last
evening from General Superintendent Clark
that the order of the President reducing wages
to take effect July LIST, is rescinded. This
gives general satisfaction and averts all dan
ger of a strike.
That's splendid. Never did there exist
meaner or more grasping monopoly, never
more sordid and heartless management than
that of the Z. p. Company, from the very
start Fear, alone, nothing but the most alb
ject cowardice has made them do this act of
justice toward their employees Here is an
other victory:
Louisville, July 23-The order reducing
the pay of men on the Louisville and Cincin.
natl Railroad, and the Louisville, Cincinnati
and Lexington Railroad, has been rescinded
by the railroad officers.
Good again They will hasten to come to
terms, all round the board. The Pittsburg-
ers have fetched 'em, and we rejoice at the |
result. 1t seems as if the cause were worth !
the sacrifice
Now let US look nearer home When the |
stock crash came few weeks ago, it immedi-
ately obliterated a very large proportion of |
the business of the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad. What did the Superintendent of
that road do Did he Immediately begin to
dock his mems wages Not at all. He con-
templated some reduction, but upon confer
ence with the men (who came to him in all
self respect and in manful order and frank
1ess), he found that the existing rate was as
little as the married men could make decent
living for themselves and family with, and so
lie said to them ''men, will not reduce your
wages one penny but [ must reduce my
orce somewhat and the single men, where
hey can be spared must go and let the mar
led men stay. Some of you may have to
york trihe harder, but your wages shall not s
re cut down. You have all worked faithfully,
nd we are all in the same boat together-the .
lard Times and We must Try and stand by ]
he another. Now that, in substance, is t
hat occurred between Yerington and his men.
lie acted like man and not like pawn "
roker, and what s the result? Absolute con- a
dence in and respect for him, perfect regu- Il
4rity in the going and coming of the trains I
nd sense OF security and contentment all -
ong the line of the road The people are "
ever unreasonable. Under almost every c
lob there is some fair and honest reason for a
S existence The cause of the violence II
ong the great trunk lines of the East is a Il
hid one and one which has found late but B
lbstantial recognition in the concessions d
,ove noted. The cure-if it shall prove u u
Ire-has been the result of the most heroic a.
and nothing else would have i
ficed. &C
