Governor Hughes proclamation in
regard to the strike was certainly the
very thing needed, and speaks for
itself:
PROCLAMATION:
With profound regret, all good
citizens OF the state have contem
plated the suspension Of the trans
portation Of freights over the St.
Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern
railway. growing out Of . controvcr
81 between the Missouri Pacific rail
way and its employees. They have
waited with patient anxiety for ever
two weeks for the anicable settle
ment of this controversy, which hav-
ing neither information nor authority
to determine, the executive cannot
and will not enter into in any way.
But, it is apparent, that the whole
people have an interest in the regu-
lar running OF trains on this road,
and that the commerce, good order,
and peace OF the country should not
be jeopardized by the longe- suspen
sion OF business on a great public
highway, by a common carrier, whose
duty 1t is to regularly operate it's
trains over the same, for the conven
fence and welfare of the country.
Therefore, Said railway compsny
is required, to proceed at once TO
regularly run its trains over SAID
road, under penalty Of being proceed
ed against NJ law for further failure
to do SO.
And, IN order that said corpora
ton may freely and without him
drance discharge It's said duty to the
public, all persons are hereby com
manded TO refrain from any interior
ence with its said trains, tracks, mo-
tive power and appliances, under
penalty OF the law.
All sheriffs in the different coun.
ties Of the state through which said
railway passes, are charged specially
with the execution OF these com
mands; and all good citlzens are ex
pected to preserve order, and refrain
from all acts calculated to lead to
breaches of the peace; and from all
tresspasses upon or interference with
said line Of railway or the operation
thereof
Done 10 the name and In the inter
est of the people OF the state, and by
virtue OF the authority In me vested
as governor OF the state by the con
xtitution and laws thereof.
