a Statement Of a Striker.
To the Editor of the Globe.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Since your paper has been the only one to
do the workingmen justice, we would like
to say few words in regard to an article in
this mornings Pioneer Press. It states that
"laborers to the number of one hundred or
more, employed on the short line road be-
tween the two cities, quit work yesterday,
and came down to Judge Chambers Office to
get their pay" This statement is false to
start with. The facts in the case are, that
Monday after dinner, over two hundred men
(estimated) struck for an advance of Is cents
per day. Sometime during the afternoon
and again yesterday forenoon they were
notified to report to Mr.. Chandler's Office
for their pay for the month of May. The
night gang also struck for an advance Mon
day night. Yesterday morning the men
from the gravel-train at Minneapolis were
sent here to 60 to work, and, on learning Of
the strike, also joined the strikers.
There was no strike; it was simply q refusal
only having been: on duty half day.
Again we are compelled to note bare
faced falsehood; for we cannot give it any
other name, or more appropriate one.
There were few new men who went to work
that morning. AS for sslazy men, it is a
well known fact that Mr.. Case prides him
self that he does not employ or retain in his
service any but good workmen.
It would seem that the editor of the Press
is prejudiced to the workingmen. In the
first place he took no notice of the strike,
and then comes forward at late hour with
statement on every line of which the word
"lie'' is written. @
There is no doubt that there are some
pimps among railroad men, but we.rathe1
think that there is about the same proper
ton among editors.
The mems demands are but in justice to
themselves. They do not average five work
ing days in the week, on account of occa-
sional wet weather. Most of them pay $4
to $5 for board, besides having to pay fol
washing and other necessaries. If the
workingmen do not demand their rights, il
| is certain that no one will do it for them.
In conclusion will say that the workmer
fully endorse your impartial report of theil
proceedings, and will remember the GLOBE
as the only paper willing to give the work
ingmen justice through its columns.
| Yours truly, A STRIKER.

of affairs on this particular work. There
was bit of strike yesterday. Some
twenty Bohemians quit work. They claim
that there's ten days pay due them, and yes
terday they were asked to begin work under,
anew boss. They wanted their pay from
the old boss first. This conldn't be fixed up
for them, and they left off in consequence.

We made no extended examination

some footings on the register and are
satisfied that the amount of certificates
stated in said report. viz: S26,Sa3 is nc
tually on hand.
We are Of opinion that il Is unneces-
sary to put the county to the expense

We have cancelled the county orders,
court and scalp certificates, and Mari
ner coupons, and herewith present the
