OsAHA, September 6th.-General Man
ager Galloway, of the Union Pacific Rail-
way Company, was asked this afternoon to
make statement of the situation at Rock
Springs, Evanston and other mining CAMPS
on the line of that road, regarding the
existing trouble between white men and
Chinese miners. Mr.. Galloway said that
notice has been served on Beckwith
d Quinn, coal mine contractors
at Rock Springs and Evanston. to remove
all Cinnamon from Evanston by to-day;
otherwise, serious trouble would ensue.
The United States Government has sent
troops there, and he assumed that order
would soon be restored In consequence
of the difficulty experienced" continued
Mr.. Galloway " in getting reliable Ameri-
can miners in the Territories. a contract
was made some ten years ago, under which
certain proportion of Cinnamon were
engaged Both classes, he asserted, are
now paid fully 30 per cent. higher wages
than are paid in Eastern mines. At Rock
Springs, where the massacre occurred, the
coal company's returns show that duringthe
past month there were employed about 500
miners at Evanston 800, and at Carbon
300. All those at Carbon were Americans.
while at the other two they are divided
two-thirds Chinese and one-third Ameri-
- cans. Their pay is from 10 cents to 81 per
ton mined, according to width of veins and
difficulties encountered in getting out the
coal. Both classes are paid the same rate,
and have been averaging 50 per day to the
man tor eight hours work. The Ameri-
cans, being more industrious and skillful,
get out larger number of tons than the
Cinnamon, and many of them earn over
500 per month. This scale has been in
force many years, and was supposed to be
satisfactory to the men. The only advan-
tage claimed by the coal company in the
employment of Chinese was that it en-
abled them to mine a sufficient quantity
OF coal to keep the trains moving
when the other miners were off on
strikes. Last winter all the men at Car
bon went out by order of the Southern
Colorado Miners Union, while they admit
ted having no grievances of their own. The
Mormons and Chinese will not join these
Unions and therefore come under their
ban. The Mormon miners are now moy-
ing their families away fearing a repetition
of last weeks trouble" Mr. Galloway was
asked to define the policy of his company.
He replied that inoflensive employees of the
coal department, and some of its officers.
have been driven from their homes. had
their property destroyed, and many of
them were foully murdered They are
now awaiting protection from the Terrific
rial or Federal authorities. When they
can be assured of this we will resume
operations.
