The Late Brakemen,s Strike.

An old railroad official yesterday, in speaking
of the brakemen's strike on the New York, Penn
sylyania & Ohio road said the strike was re-
markable one in many ways. 1t was successful
from the beginning as scarcely any freight
passed over the road for one week No acts of
violence of Importance occurred, and, although
new men were brought in, few of them were dis
posed to go to work. The brakemen were with
out organization or leader, but accepted mod
crate counsel, and compromise followed He
then added, there is always an after-clap to these
strikes. Shippers want damages for delays and
beside the loss of earnings, there is usually a
loss Of property. He said within week
their road had been called upon to
pay for damages, one for a delay in for
wardng freights from New York during
the freight-handlers' strike in 1881, and an
other for property which was loaded wrong at
Jersey City during the same strike, and lost
He added that the freight -handlers' strike cost
the trunk lines hundreds of thousands of dollars
more than they would have paid the
freight handlers in fifty years had they met the
terms asked blythe strikers. As regards the re-
cent strike of the brakemen on the n. Y, P. g.
o., he said he thought it was justifable The
road was billy, the big engines hauled thirty
four cars, and he did not believe that one brake
man should be called on to set the brakes on
seventeen cars. 1t was risky business to look
after ten cars, even When the top of the cars are
slippery, the weather cold and disagreeable. He
thought it was bad enough to ask the men to do
this dangerous work at $50 per month, not to
give them double duty to perform

Important Official Changes Contemplated on

The journal has information from ar authen-
tic source that important official changes are
contemplated on the New York Central & Hud-
son River road in May. The statement is that

they have taken they have found very nauseous;
and if they are convinced that it will be admin
stered again promptly whenever the disease
breaks out they are likely to take pretty good
care of their health The Gazette then adds
that the recent reduction of east bound rates
below profitable figures has led many to speak
of the virtual destruction of the trunk line pool
But the organization of the railroads is GER
tainly in a much better condition now than be
fore the reduction vas made. 1t has exercised
its power in an effective way, and we suspect
that nine tenths of the Irregularities of the past
nine months would have been prevented had this
power been exercised in the same way last July
or August

Pay Car Once More Going Over the D., o.

Receiver Henderson, of the Danville, Olney &

to secure good service men must be paid prompt
ly Consequently he to-day sends the pay car
over the D., O. & 0. r, road to pay the en-
ployes for their services the portion of March
which he was receiver of the road, and hereafter
they will be paid promptly on the 10th of each
month A pay car on this poverty stricken road
will be surprise, so cruelty have the employees
on the line been treated by former receivers,
managers, etc, of the property. From gentle
man who. recently passed ovec the road it is
learned that the new receiver is fast bringing
the demoralized condition of the property into
order, and with this the traffic is increasing, and
with good crops there is some prospect for a
better day for this road

Their Troubles Becoming Sensational in
Character.

The troubles between the Denver & Rio
Grande and the Coal & Iron company, which
operates the Utah extension, are assuming a
sensational character President Lovejoy, of
the former, asks Mr.. Dodge to resign as presi-
dent of the Coal & Iron company and Utah ex-
tension, and General Dodge announces that he
has life 'control over the Utah extension of the
Rio Grande from the Colorado line to Ogden,
and his evident purpose to run it defiance of
any authority which President Lovejoy of the
Rio Grande, may attempt to assert, is certainly
interesting. He issues a notice to employees
that any orders by Frederick Loveioy, president
of the Denver & Rio Grande Railway Company,
or any other officer thereof, assuming to exercise
or interfere with the powers confided in the I'm
dersigned, will be considered an attempt at
usurpation, and must be disregarded. W. H.
Bancroft, with headquarters at Salt Lake City,
is continued in Office as superintendent of the
lines of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Rail
way Company In Utah, under the authority of
the undersigned, and all subordinate officers,
agents and employees will report to him."

Indio..slons that Rates Arc no Be Restored


Indications that Rates Are To BE Restored.
From trustworthy sources it is learned that
decided efforts are being made looking to the
restoration of east bound rates, and it will not
be surprising should early action be taken I'm
portant conferences have been held by the trunk
line officials, this week. looking to settlement
of their difficulties Freight agents of Chicago
pool roads have entered into an agreement that
contracts cannot be made operative longer than
ten days after notice of an advance in rates has
been given by the commissioner. The situation
experienced railroad men say, is really becoming
serious. They say the roads cannot make div
idends at the present carrying rates. The re-
duction of the east-bound grain rate from Chi
cago to New York to fifteen cents per one hun
bred pounds brings it down to the bare cost of
fifteen to twenty cents per 100 cwt
will be made before navigation opens, as
there is great fear that if the fifteen
cent rate is kept up till then it will es-
tablish lake and canal rates so low that an ad-
vance of rail rates later would prevent Ship
ments. There is something in this, but, we
think, not great deal. The vessel owners
will be quite as willing as the railroads to ad
vance their rates if circumstances make it pos
sible. There is an unusually large stock in store
at Western lake ports which even the present
large shipments cannot seriously reduce before
navigation opens and if there is a demand for
it the vessels will have plenty to do for a few
weeks at least Speaking of the present condi-
ton of things, the Railroad Gazette aptly says:
1T will be better TO have a 15-cent rate all sum
mer, if that is necessary to secure the keeping of
the agreements the companies have made 1t does
not now seem necessary, however, the medicine
