The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1886-05-11
Committed by the Strikers and at
the InstigatiOn of Martin
Irons Gang.
Railway Officials, Business Men
and Knights All Have
Their Say.
One of the Latter Admits That
the Strike Was Not
Unsuitable.

The congressional labor Investigate
ing committee did not reach Sedalia
until few minutes after the noeu
hour Yesterday. 1t was the inten-
ton. to leave Kansas City at Z O'Clock
Wednesday evening, but the session
was prolonged until nearly midnight,
and not unit, 8 o'clock a. m. yester-
day did the special train, in charge OF
Conductor Lew Hopkins, start upon
Its journey to this city.
At IL o'clock a. M, the hour at
which the distinguished visitors were
expected to arrive, there was a large
gathering of, citizens at the depot to
extend cordial welcome, and nearly
all remained until the party arrived.
Z WHO THEY ARE.
Among the railway officials present
were Superintendent Lyon and Flan-
ders, Master Mechanics Weller and
Newell, the latter of Parsons; Road
master Rockwell, Trainmaster Grow
and Attorney Shirl,. The city was
represented by Mayor Stevens, Mai.
Gentry, Jno. L. Hall, C. G. Taylor,
Geo. L. Faulhaber, d. III. Smith,
Louis Deutsch, John w. Conner,
Commodore Simonds and Others. The
Knights of Labor were also present
in force, the leading representatives
being E. A. Carpenter, Eugene Perry,
Harry Riley and III. M. Murrell.
At 1910 p. n. the train pulled up
in front of the depot, when the fol-
lowing gentlemen alighted: Gov.
Curtin, Gov. Stewart and Col. Burnes,
of the investigating committee /;
Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms Reeber,
Major Kochtitzky and his clerk. Col
T. w. Park, of the Missouri labor
bureau; VIM. Kerrigan, general super
intendent of the Missouri Pacific; Col.
E. K. Sibley, ex-superintendent, and
Mr.. Mcclure, an eastern Knight of
Labor, who has been in the west for
several weeks past, assisting in con-
Quoting the late strike and distribut-
ing the poodle.
AT sICHER's HOTEL.
On leaving the train, the party at
once proceeded to Sicher's hotel, where
quarters had previously been engaged,
and judging from the large crowd that
logged the visitors footsteps, strang-
er would have reached
the idea that a real,
live congressman was a curiosity to the
people ofSedalia. At the hotel Office
the congressman were presented to a
number of citizens, but each was dis
missed quickly. as the committee de-
sired to proceed to business as soon as
possible, and the noon meal had first
to be disposed of.
st ! o'clock the COMMITTEES
convened in the north
room of the court house, where large
crowd, representing all classes, had
already collected. The three gentle

MINOR GRIEVANCES.

Col. Sibley then referred to minor
grievances which existed among the
switchmen at Hannibal and the yard
men at Hiasatha and Parsons. In
each of the cases the company made
the concessions asked-in order to
avoid trouble, as the witness stated.
Col. Sibley next referred to the
arbitrary action of the knights of
Labor in connection with a
man named Shea, who was
employed by the company
in the yards at Kansas City. The
yardmaster, named NOOnan, was dis
charged for disobeying orders, and
witness desired 10 appoint Shea to the
vacancy. He was a competent, in
dustrious man, but the Knights Of
Labor objected, hence Shea was sent
to Nevada. AT this latter point the
Knights again made complaint
against him and he was ordered to
leave town, but he did not obey the
command.
In December, 1885, witness stated
that the master mechanic at Parsons
was waited on by committee of
Knights Of Labor, who asked for the
reinstatement of an engineer named
Crawford, who had been
discharged for incompetency.
The Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers had investigated
the case and sustained the company,
and Crawford was not put to work.
PAGE WANTED To KNOW.
The next grievance referred to was
the discharge of John Seymour, a
section foreman at Clifton. Fred.
Page addressed letter to the division
roadmaster. asking why Seymour had
been dismissed, and was answered
that he was a careless and incOmpe-
tent man and the company could not
afford to keep him. Seymour was
not put back to work.
About this time Martin Irons bob

agent at kan>as City, saying that he
had been waited upon by committee
who demanded the reinstatement of
two men who had been discharged,
and refusal would precipitate
strike. The men had been indicted
by the grand jury for breaking into
cars and making away with certain
goods, and for this reason they were
discharged. Witness replied that if the
charges were not proven, and Mr..
Smith felt satisfied the grand Jury had
erred in indicting tn men, they
should be returned to work, and SO it
was that trouble was averted in this
instance.
MORE SERIOUS TROUBLE.
The next serious trouble, continued
the witness, was OH October eth, when
he received a telegram from Parsons
saving that he must come there at
once if he wished To avoid strike in
the shops. Notwithstanding he was
under engagement in st. Louis witness
FASTENED to Parsons, where he found
that the men working in the foundry
were dissatisfied. AS work was slack,
the employees were only working three
or four days a week, and they insisted
ON putting in full tlne-that is, six
days of ten hours each, while the
force should he restored to its original
number. Witsess went to Parsons
and met the men. For the sake of
peace, he consented TO let them work
FIVE days a week and put ON two adj
ditiOnal helpers. The committee said
they would consider the proposition
and report to him at midnight. but
they failed to show up and witness re-
turned TO Sedalia. On the following
day he received tele3ram
to the effect thar the prop
position was rejected. A strike
followed and the foundry was closed
for week. AT the expiration Of that
time the men asked to be taken back,
and this was done, Notwithstanding
the company was under no obligations
to do so.

THE WABASH BOYCOTT.

The first trouble he had after COM
ing to Sedalia, witness stated, was
when the Knights of Labor instituted
a boycott against the Wabash road.
The Missouri Pacific had a contract
with the Wabash company to do GER
tain work, but in order to avoid a
strike the contract was thrown
up, Notwithstanding it resulted
in large loss to the Missouri Pacific.
Mr.. Sibley entered into even the most
minute details, and convinced his
hearers that he was willing to make
any concession within the bounds of
reason for the sake of peace and har-
mony, which the Knights of Labor
seemed determined should not prevail.
ANOTHER CONCESSION.
Continuing his testimony, Col.
Sibley stated that on August s, 1885,
he received telegram from E. A.
Smith, the eompanyIs commercial

stated that he was a lawyer by pro-
fessiOn, which caused Gov. Stewart to
remark that it was quite likely his
(Wilkerson's) business had not been
seriously interfered with by the strike,
as lawyers often profit on the misfor-
tunes of others.
Mr.. Wilkerson stated that he was
present when the citizens committee
called upon the knights of Labor

SOME MISREPRESENTATION.

When the Herald" was laudins
the London syndicate which ''got away
With the swag," it should at least not
have misrepresented the man whose
check-book really gave the country it
first international credit.
The Herald" speaking of the great
success of the loan on the London mar
ket-a success in which the Government
does not participate-says: 'Mr. Spreck
els wanted from the Government OF 4
few months ago the pledge OF the Gus
tom House, Water Works and harbor
front as security for the debts and obi
cations of this Kingdom, held by that
gentleman then"
In reply, we say there is not a scintilla
of truth i'm that statement Mr.. Spreckels
never asked such Il thing, and therefore
the Government never once col ,idered
it, 1t is simply absurd to say so, be
cause the Government had no power to
give any such special security. Mr..
Spreckels had his bonds, for which the
good faith of the Hawaiian Govern
ment was pledged by law. For his
special loan he had the good faith" OF
the Hawaiian Government without per
haps legal pledge. And with this Sc
curity he was satisfied in both cases. 1t
is a libel for which there is no excuse,
after what passed in the Legislature, to
revive this palpable and scandalous I'M
truth.
The "Herald" further says, speaking
OF the national credit: I'm this connec-
ton it is proper that current misap-
prehension should be removed, namely,
that the Hawaiian Government had
made certain pledges which were con-
strued as a mortgage upon specific !

The New supreme Court Judges.

1t was rumored in town yesterday that
a Cabinet Council had been held, at
which the two vacancies on the Supreme
Bench were filled The public voice
was divided upon one of the appointees,
but was agreed upon the other. 1t was
agreed that Mr.. BickertOn, Police JUS
tice of Honolulu, was to be one of the
new Associate Justices of the Supreme
Court and His Excellency Mr.. Aho!o,
Minister of the Interior, and Judge For
nander of the Second Circuit Court,
Maui, were mentioned for the other
judgeship. 1t was conceded, however,
by those who knew best that Judges
Bickerton AMI Fernandez were to be
elevated to the Supreme Bench. The
only objection that can be made is the
fact that Judge Fernandez is in pre-
carious state of health and is well adj
vanced in life, a pension having been
provided for him by the last Legislature
1t is understood that the action of the
Cabinet will not be confirmed until the
Chancellor of the Kingdom has been
consulted.
