NEw York, April 25,--Jay Could was
called upon at his home by Tribune re.
porter this afternoon, and In reply To IN. |
quiries concerning the present condition |
Of affairs In the Southwest, Gould said /
at Is 50 quiet that we hardly know |
there has been a strike. The strikers con
sole themselves with the thought that we |
are not doing any business, but we are |
doing large business, larger amount /
than we were doing before the strike. / !
have received this dispatch from Hoxie:
Third weeks earnings win not be
ready to-day, but the auditor estimates
they VIII show an increase Of about
100000 compared with last year.
"It's hard 10 get away from such facts
| think the Improvement would have
been very marked but for these labor
troubles. Public opinion has risen up and
asserted itself about this matter, and the
formation Of law and order leagues In the
Southwest has exerted great deal more
influence, and In effect has destroyed the
organization OF the knights OF Labor
there. In fact, 10 be knight Of Labor
out there now Ia about synonymous with
being called criminal. OF course there
Is some bushwhacking aud occasional at
tempts 20 throw trains off the tracks,
but the tracks are carefully guarded, and
the result Is that everything is going
nicely"
Gould was asked what he thought OF
the threats made against the Wabash rail
road system In the event Of his obtaining
control OF II tomorrow.
He replied; ''rhe Wabash employs
hardly any Knights OF Labor since the re.
organization made after the August
strikes, In proportion 10 labor employed
The Wabash win be sold tomorrow under
foreclosure, aud II will be bought in by
the bondholders A majority Of them are
In Scotland and England and the rest are
scattered about this country"
