Permit me through the columns of
Your valuable paper to make the follow
Ing statement In regard TO the employees
ut the b. y .. K. K. shops in this place:
When the men stopped work on last
Monday they were under the impression
that q crowd of idlers and trsmps had
gathered on the river bank for the pur
pose of compelling them to join IN with
the striking iremen and brskemen, and
.or fear of exciting a riot they concluded
to go home And when Master
Mechanic, Z. l.. Weisegerber came, they
notified him that for their own safety
rs well as for that of the company's pro-
perty, they had concluded to stop work.
lie replied that he heartily approved Of
their action and advised them TO disperse
quietly and not come TO work again until
the dispute between the strikers and the
b. u o. K. K. Company was settled, as
suring them that if it was settled in
favor Of the strikers every empiOye in
the eompany's service would receive an
equal beAetit with the strikers. These
are the circumstances under which the
men quit work. In the evening rumor
was circulated that the shop hands had
struck. A meeting WAS held ut the Sixth
ward hose house on Tuesday afternoon
to ascertain whether they intended to
strike for higher wages, or resume work
again after the excitement then existing
had subsidized. The meeting was not
fully attended, and no definite action
was taken In regard TO strike. The ma
jority of the mechanics present were not
in favor of q strike, knowing that the
company can do as well without the
shops here Us with them. All the shops
along the line were at work, and our
chances of success would not be very
fattering when we consider that all the
railroad we could hope to control would
be the raging Hempfeld,' . without the
assistance of the other shops along the
line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
The meeting adjourned until Saturday,
the 2Sth inst, at two O'Clock, at which
time, think, sll will be willing to re-
same work on the following Monday.

John Bright's views.

LONDON, July 2G.-ln John Brights
si-re,s ~ the unveiling of the Golden
-emorls. statue, At Bradford, yesterday,
le referred 10 the disturbances In Amer

SaFilng the strike: 1t is one OF the most
Iep.orable and discreditsble events that
AaVe ever happened in the Northern
States, so far as my knowledge goes"
Mr.. Bright continued by saying that
le attributed these disturbances TO the
g'II ,I effects produced by the policy of the
l hited States In locking themselves up
from the rest of the commercial world, by
oAeFous duties levied upon the very class
o.! manufactured articles which, if compe-
"'.on wore open, would prevent labor
rom becoming unruly. He declared
Iha: the prostrsron of the great iron in
t1slFy was owing to the collapse arising
fom the general impoverishment Of
capitalists, which of itself would necessl-
'a.e great fall in wages.
DIR. Bright concluded by saying that
-' believed that the excessive system of
arm heretofore levied for the protection

One cause OF complaint among some
of these classes OF employees is that of late
they have only been able to make half
or three-quar.ers time, and thus the
average wages of some come to less than
dollar per day, but it had been thought
pest to divide what work there was
among the men in these dull times than
discharge more OF the train hands. The
company's officers say, however, that it
is, OF course, little difference To the COM
psny whether they pay the whole OF u
