VISION OF THE b. o. R..
GRAFTON, July %, 1877.
As many Misrepresentation are being
made and wrong deeds being done in
our name, by reason OF our position as
strikers and traip men, We desire to set
ourselves and our purposes right before
the public. We denounce as unauthor-
lied the statement pretended to have
b.en signed by US, to tho eHec! that "we
would not 20 TO work until Capt G. A.
Woodward Is removed" We entertain
the highest respect for and confidence in
Mr.. Woodyard's official integrity, and
have no desire to see him removed. This
has nothing whatever TO do with our
present position.
We deny that any OF rs had anything
t. do with cutting the hose on the
engines or otherwise injuring the proper
ty of the company CT o. individuals, or
ia any way resisting the civil auIhori-
ties We only ask ~ just recognition
from oar employers and y just recon-
pense lDr our services. Ii the course
we are pursuing to obtain this be ques.
toned, we answer that there is no other
alternative left US. In times past our
petitions have been ignored by the CON-
psny's officials, our pesceable meetings
broken up, our efforts to obtain reason
able pay met by expulsion from the com
pany's service or an increase of burdens
and further reductions in our
pay. Performance has ceased to be
virtue, and we have at last
determined to let our employers
feel that we are rational human beings
entitled to be treated rs such, and not
beasts or mere machines, which know
neither pleasure nor pam, ard need
nothing but repairs. We only ask Il de.
cent living out of the abundant riches
which our labor has helped to create and
preserve. Our object is law-n0t lawless-
ness. We disturb no one who distusbs
not us. Until our righteous demands
are acceded TO We vii. not work oUr-
selves nor allow others TO take our pia.e.
We do this to prevent the unwary from
rushing over the preciPicc whicn has al.
most ruined US.
1t is to save and help others IS well rs
ourselves, that we throw ourselves into
the breach, and will no: permit others TO
destroy the good that may result TO them
by our sacrifices. We will destroy no
property, injure no one, and break no
law except as compelled by dire necessl-
ty, and we ask the public not to condemn
us without i hearing We might stand
hunger ourselves, but the pi.eoIs appeals
of suffering women and children, dear 10
us By the ties OF nature. Is too much. Il
we fail, which God forbid, others will r.
eeive some benefit from our sacrifices, and
good will result to the Class OF society We
represent. With thanks 10 all citizens
and friends for courtesies received, We
are, on behalf OF the trsinmen OF Fourth
division, Yours respectfully,
