full trades union as exsts in the country,

and the railroad company will not take back
any of the strikers, but will ceave to the
men who came to its aid in the hour of its
need. Thousands of men who had perma.
nent employment, at good wages, have thus
been turned adrift, and their families made
to suffer, by the man who ordered them to
strike, not for an increase Of wages, but for
change in the system Of payments-in

would not alter its rules to suit the ILL

interested in its success. 1t is said that Mr..
Arthur, the chief of the brotherhood, is
