Gould has bean president Of The rod ~
aid he had neysr charged dallor for his
services-not even for his travelling ex-
pensea He stated further that he had placed
the settlement of the strike in the hands OF
Mr.. Hoxie entirely, and he intsnded ct the
time he did so to hold him responsible The
telegram, he said, in which It was stated
that 1--WE see no objection to
arbitration" etc, simply placed tne
matter wholly in the hands Of
Mr.. Hoxie Mr. Goul explained that
the emf ioyes of railroad company were in
a different position thar those in manufact-
uring institutions Railroads, he said, had
an obligation to the public and the public
could rightfully demand fultillment of
those puoiie obligations A railroad company
in his opinion was a public not
private corporation. 4 railroad company
was clothed with public duties. The public
has the right to have railroad operated
and the public has a right to demand
settlement Of difficulty which interferes
with the operation of a railroad, but ar
bitration should come before strike.
After strike Is begun, property seized
aid lives placed In peril, the time for arbi-
tTaticn is past The railroad officials de-
sired the contract with the people carried
out Commenting on the complicated duties
Of Mr.. Powderly as grand master workman
Of the Knights of Labor, Mr. Gould said he
himself had all and even more than he
coald do to manage the Missouri
Pacific railroad, while Mr.. Pow
derby attempted to manage every inter
est in the country, including the l30,0Ue
miles of railroad, and it was no wonder he
broke down at il.
Mr.. Gould said he had always been an
advocate OF arbitration, and was perfectly
willing to give the arbitration scheme pro-
posed by congress thorough and fair trial
II it became law. He said he was always
willing, and so were the Missouri
Pacific officers-always ready to arbi-
trate differences between the company
and employees, but did not propose to deal
with the men as the order of the Knights OF
Labor, because there were 10000 men in the
Employ OF the company who were not mem
bers OF the order OF knights OF Labor.
MIR. Burnes here asked Mr. Gould whether
il Mr.. Hoxie ly his public order recognized
the knights Of Labor to their exclusion
from employment by the Missouri Pacific,
he ought not to have previously recognized
them as Knights of Labor when they de-
sired to arbitrate
Mr.. Gould at first answered this by inter
ruptine Mr.. Burnes, and saying that Mr..
hoxie did not recognize them Mr.. Burnes
intimated that it was hypothetical ques
ton, and he merely wanted the witness
view or opinion of what should have been
done in such a case Mr.. Gould then re-
piled that if they were employees, Mr.
Hoxie should have listened to their COM
plant Mr.. Burnes then abandoned
further inquiry in this direction, remarkiug
that MFR. Gould didn't seem to quite un Ter
| stand the question. At 9. 10 p, m. q recess
was proposed and taken.
