THE RAILWAY OPERATORS.


Pittsburg Special, cath.
To-day the high officials of the Brotherhood
held a conference on the question of order
ing the railroad operators out on a strike.
The meeting was a secret one. 1t was de-
cided that if the Western Union Company
did not grant the demand of the Brotherhood
within sixty-two hours, the railroad operat-
ors employed on the Wabash railroad and
other railroads in which Jay Gould is largely
interested would go out on strike. The
number of operators on the railroads Is be-
tween 1000 aud $500 and they are sOlidly
and compactly organized, and have been rest
less because they had not been called on to go
out before this time. The Brotherhood. how
ever did not wish to be placed in the posi-
ton of bringing about the consequent ces-
sation of business which would inevitably
result when the railroad operators left their
keys and sounders The Brotherhood now
claims that it has demonstrated its forbear-
ance to the people of the country, and as
Jay Gould has made the fight personal one,
in which he backs himself with his own
800 900, 900 of capital, il is time to show
that the operators were determined to secure
redress for the grievances complained of in
the bill presented to the different companies.
Brotherhood official states that when their
organizers had fairly completed the work of
organizing the commercial operators in the
principal cities. they were especially in
structed to devote their time to the railroad
men working on the Wabash and other rail
roads with which Jay Gould is identified,
and as a consequence the bulk of them had
been secured, aud were among the staunchest
members of the Brotherhood. 1t is proposed
to give wide publication on the eve of the
strike, SO that all persons contemplating
taking trips can make their arrangements to
avoid delay while en- route

Sulky PIOws.
Correspondent Cleveland Herald.

Correspondent Cleveland Herald.
1t is quite natural for farmers, as well as
people of other professions, to be wonderfully
''struck" with the working of any newly-de
vised machinery, and laud it to the skies; but
after while they fail to see exactly where
the advantage over the superseded machine
is after all. The man who prophesied that
walking plows would go, guessed right for a
short time, but the tide is actually turning,
So far as the Western Reserve is concerned.
The usual style of sulky plow requires three
horses, after all, which the smaller farmer
does not always have. 1t actually requires
more careful driving than the hand
plow, and it is very liable to Sweat
OUT the center horse unless the
driver keeps close watch. The difference
in weight of plow and the combined ma
chimes is 700 pounds, which has to be drawn
about the fields, even if the weight of the
furrow is transferred to the wheels. In square
lots, long burrows, and no stumps and stones
the suky plow is a success, and will always
be in the West, but here, with small
fields. light teams etc, a question is in
volyed and seems answered in part from the
fact that those who own sulky plows are not
selling their old ones for iron scrap, but use
them about half the time, To adjust sulky
plow for width, depth and pitch is a matter
that requires skill, and that cannot be left
with unskilled help, as with a walking plow
OF course it is easier to ride than to go on
foot, and that there will be horses after | am
dead is undisputed.

A director of the Western Union said:
''The interests of the railroads and telegraph
companies are identical. do not think the
former need be reminded of their duty to the
company. If they were to countenance any
interference with the commercial business of
the Western Union they would simply be in
viting combinations similar to that of the
telegraphers among their railroad employees
How natural it would be for a telegrapher
if he were successful in this strike in secur-
ling higher wages to suggest to trainmen or
engineers: Why don't you try a strike to
get higher pay?' Take the Baltimore & Ohio
company, for instance. What are its tele-
graph interests compared with its railroad
interests? Why, they are mere bagatelle.
