ITO james p. Barr, Pittsburg:
"What is the situation of affairs iu
Pittsburg to-day? Are the loyal people
IN shape to protect life and property ?
The statements of my message of las t
Saturday to you have been terribly real
lied. think there is not and can not
be any safety for life or property unless
the State and United States authorities
will adopt the measures necessary to
restore absolute law and order and
make it permanent. ! would be glad to
have your views of the situation this
morning. THoS. A. SCOTT"
"PITTsBURG, July 25-12 NJ.
ST. A. Scott, Philadelphia:
"The local military and organized
| citizens, animated by determination to
auell mobs, are quite sufficient to pre-
serve the peace and property Of this
| city. Every thing is quiet. Our i'm.
pending danger Is the suspension of
general labor and thronging the streets
| with idle men. Local traffic for coal and
provisions is fist demanded. Neither
you nor labor will surrender, because it
involves humiliation and repu-
| tatiOn, but you can suggest
or agree to Board of Arbitration to
present a compromise, which Will re-
lieye YOU and labor without disturbing
the rights or grievances Of others. Com
promise governs the daily business Of
the world. You have it In your power
to restore peace and preserve society.
The discomfort Of many years against
the extravaganza Of railway manage
ment has eliminated and forms the suu-
ject OF complaint as we'll as the reduce
lion OF wages. | lmplore you not to as
sumo the ground that the military can
settle anything but defiance of law.
Have this compromise effected at once
and the country will owe you debt OF
gratitude. j. Z. BARR"

'James P. Barr:
IL like your suggestions as TO the res
toralion OF the local business of the
country and to the giving of employ.
ment to miners and factories. This has
always been pleasure for me to do.
and we will do is Tomorrow if your
people will protect the employees OF the
company, who are willing and anxious
to WORK aud preserve the interest Of the
country. Ny own judgment is that the
restoration OF law and order can only
be e1ected by a return OF
common sense by the people aud BY
those reirainlng from encouraging or
connecting themselves with mobs or
violence OF any Kind, and that the chan
nels OF trade and business will immedi
ately fill up and give employment to
every man that the depressed condition
OF the business of the country will per-
Fnit. l am sure we shall be glad 70 aid
them, Dut TO do it in any other way
would be simply temporiz.ng with the
worst evil the world has ever
peace and order and protection to
lie and property, the matter must
be settled by the governmental autnori-
ties of the country as they exist, and
independently OF the transportation
companies of the country, which have
been doing, and are anxious to do their
full duty. believe if our men are pro-
tected by you and by other good citizens
there won't be many hours delay in
opening our road Tor The convenience OF
traffic. l am sure that nearly The entire
force connected with our road is thor
Oughly loyal, and that no trouble will
come from them, but that they will 40
their duty. THoS. A. SCOTT"
