tingencies. The Switchmens Journal the organ
of the association. says on this matter of strikes:
1--WE have at all times proclaimed against strikes
and urged upon our members not to engage In
them, believing arbitration to be the most sat
sfactory way of settling all differences. But
when employers decline to remedy palpable
evils, or refuse to sufficiently compensate
men for actual labor, and also decline
to submit differences that may arise between
them and their employees to arbitration, we can
other way to get justice than to strike for
it. In this we desire to be thoroughly under

prevent strikes before resorting to them. We
open and candid in the matter. Believing
that to say to the public and employers that we
will not under any circumstances strike, is mis-
leading to the public. treacherous to the en-
ployer and unmanlv. And we know of no or
ganization of railroad employees but what will
strike as last resort" OF course the latter
clause Is mistake as during the troubles in the
Southwest the yard-masters. the conductors and
the even the more important class of railroad
men refused to strike and passed resolutions dis
countenancing the strikers.

The Lackawanna Railroad Company is about
to put freight boats of its own on the lakes.
Suit has. been formally commenced in the
State courts Of Missouri by the Kansas City
Board of Trade to break the Southwestern pool
the Attorney general of the State to have the
conduct of the case.
History would merely repeat itself if the fore
closure of the Philadelphia & Reading and the
establishment of that property upon a sound
financial basis should be followed by an equally
active stock market in the autumn of 1886 Tho
harm which the buccaneering policy of bank
rupt railroad like Reading can do to the general
business or the country is very great
The Baldwin locomotive works, in Philadel-
phia, have just completed two mogul passenger
engines for the New York, Lake Erie g Western
road These engines have 20 by 24nch cylin-
ders, six drivers and two-wheel truck, and are
intended to haul the heaviest trains on the road.
They provided with the Wootten fire box for
burning waste anthracite coal, and their use on
the Erie is experimental
There are great many people who believe
that Jay Gould is the owner of large block of
Jersey Central stock, and that with this stock
Mr.. Gould will force Mr.. Garrett to settle the
telegraph war The suggestion is a plausible one
The Jersey Central is becoming a powerful
weapon and IT could be used with equal facility
for war or peace IN trunk line affairs The re-
organization Of the company may be as import
ant matter next year as Reading is to-day
The Southern Pacific has begun a vigorous
war on the San Francisco ticket brokers. Cir
culars being sent abrond warning passen-
gers against patronizing the scalrers, and they
are given to understand that they run a great
risk in purchasing "scalped" tickets, and that
they may be compelled to purchase new tickets
or postpone their journey. The action of the
railroad company in denouneing the brokers is
regarded with supreme Indifference by the fra
ternity, who claim they are doing over one half
of the overland business.

The publishing of the special notice to Indian
apolis grain shippers, issued on Wednesday by
Il. q. Diehl, general freight agent of the l., B.
Il W.. in yesterdays Journal created q good
deal of feeling in business circles and resulted
IL calling together the railroad committee of the
Board of Trade to consider the arbitrary action
on the part of the l.. B. Sc w. people Mr.
Dleh was asked to be present and state his side
of the case. to which he complied; but the tenor
OF his remarks did not strengthen the position
he had taken. and shippers seem more dspleased,
the more they consider the matter, and threaten
to retalate by doing as little business over the
l., B. 81 W. as possible. The relations between
the shippers and the l. B. 81 W. have heretofore
been very pleasant and it is believed that the L i,
b. 81 w. will resciud the order, certainly feat
ures of 1t which arc so detrimental to the grain
business at this point Railroad men, especially
those connected with competing lines. censure
Mr.. Diehl that such a state of affairs has been
brought about, and charge that the changes by
which reporting tonnage from points beyond was
discontinued were of his instigation, and the mis-
take now reacts unfavorab!y on the l., b. q w.
OF course these opinions are of men who would
naturally be biased more or less against the L.
B. & W. For the good of Indianapolis as grain
center and for the best interests Of the road it is
to be hoped that the matter will be speedily ad-
Justed in a manner satisfactory to all parties
The points made in the address Of M. Diehl
before the railroad committee were that the l.,
B. & w. had always been extremely liberal to
Indianapolis. 1t is the grain-shipping road of the
city, and has identified itself with the interests
of Indianapolis. Special arran gements for rates
are made exclusively with indianapolis dealers
This is not true Of any other line. In most in
stances, the speaker said, other roads make their
deals with parties outside-parties who are not
interested in this city. This circular, perhaps,
indicates a slight change in the policy of the l..
b. 81 w. 1t wants the business to go over its
line and 1t doesn't want to be subject to trackage
and other charges in this city. It wants to be
freed from that as are its competitors There
may be isolated cases where the rule will work
injustice The bulk of the grain is destined East
at any rate and there is reason why it should
be subjected to charges here for trackage, ele-
vator. etc. Mr.. Dehl said that he would stand
by the rule unless substitute could be found,
but he was willing to confer with all parties and
representatives of other roads on the question
at issue The meeting resolved to refer the mat
ter under consideration to the railroad and grain
committees of the Board of Trade, and these
were instructed to confer with the railroad peo-
pie.
