WASHINGTON. Nov. 22-Referring 10 the pub
llshed statement, that Congressman Masson 10

organize a Democratic q. a. r.. that gentle
man says he knows nothing of il, except what
he has read in the newspapers, and consequent

The other statement in the dispatches, that his
friends expect him TO follow the example OF
General Palmer and withdraw from the q. A.
r., he says is also without foundation. He
never was n member Of the organization. aud
therefore cannot withdraw. During the cam
paign, Matsou and Myers regiments of veterans
were formed In every county in Indiana, and il
is probabls that these organizations form the
basis OF the new movement in thst State, but OF
this he cannot speak oy authority.

They Want Arbitration.

The information f, ON the engineers aud Gre
men ia still to the effect that they will all 60 out
unless the superintendents of the roads meet their
grievance committee, and the differences are
satisfactorily arbitrated. 1--WE have no desire
to quit work, said an engineer last night, 'but
there will be no bAckdown on our part. We
have shown a desire to submit to arbitration.
We have appointed two committees. one a notif-
cation and the other a griev.
ance committee. These committees have upon
them representatives from the engineers, ire
men apd brakemen. and those comprising them
are careful. conscientious men. The notification
met the superintendent yesterday,
informed them of the stand we had taken, aud
asked q conference with the grisvence COM
mittee. The superintendent replied that they
would meet the grievance committee, and
would attempt TO settle any misunderstanding
there might be between them and the engineers,
fremen or brakemen. Whether that means
that they will arbitrate the difficulties with the
switchmen remains to be seen. At any rate, it
opens a road toward settling the
whole difficulty, and we hope it will be done to-
day. IL an amicable adjustment is not reached
there will be a general strike before tomorrow
night. The superintendent may think that we
are not in earnest. but they must not be led into
that error. The engineers, fremen and brake
men have voted to 60 out under certain condi-
tions, and they are a class or men who never
back down.

Justice to the Studebakers.

TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
r In the Sentinel of the 9th inst. there appears
a letter written by some one who evidently
was ashamed to put his proper name
to the article. 1t appears to have been written
by a South Bender. is entitled The Stude-
bakers" and signed "St joe "St. Joe" sets
forth in his letter that tho Studebakers shut
down their factories at the request of the en-
ployes Tor words to that effect on election day.
/ have worked in the wagon factory OF Stude-
baker Brothers, and can say that on election or
holidays the works are always closed, not by re-
quest Of the employees, but by the employers
themselves, of their own free will. can further
say that the suffrage of any of the employees
has never been requested by them or by others
at their request. There are no more fair.
minded. honorable, upright or charitable men
in st. Joseph county to-day than the men who
ompose the Studebaker Manufacturing Com
pany. est. joe says that they own a
lot of rotten houses and charge a rental
of So per month for them. The
houses owned by the Studebakers, OF which
'St. Joe" speaks. are neat cottages which do
credit to their owners and the city in which
they stand. They are built substantially, and
there 10 not a workingman in South Bend who
would not be proud to own one of them. '.St.
Joe" says they cost from 5000 to $3.50 each. II
such is the case. it is greatly to the discredit of
such men a. "St. Joe" that they do not own
such q home The Studebaksrs have always
paid good wages, and treated their employs s
fairly and with respect, but it is chronic with
some o. st. Joseph ~county's Democrats, when
they run for Office and get 'into tho soup." to
lay their defeat to the Studebakers. The citi-
zens of ST. Joseph county ought to be proud to
have amongst Thorn mon like the Studebakers.
What would their county-sest be to-day were it
not for these gentlemen 1t would be but a vii
lsge ia comparison with what il Is. l know it
to be a fact that the rental of the houses mon
toned above does not pay their owners ) per
cent. on the original investment, and that they
are we'll worth from $40 to sl2 per month.

What the sw,tchmen Say.

The switchmen state that while traffic in
through freight has now very nearly regained
its usual volume, il has been under such diff
culties that the local deliveries of all the rail
roads have suffered greatly, aud are at present
far behind. 1t is for this homo switching, they
say, that the roads are in urgent need OF new
lands The superintenden,s recognize the en-
psrrassment. for one of them said yesterday.
The risk of damage to freight is too great to
use inexperienced men entirely, though plenty
of them are applying every Day for work. We
must have at least one man with some ex-
~perience at switching on every crew to be at all
safe. and this makes il q very slow task TO get a
new force together. but il is proceeding steadily
and we hope to accomplish the matter before
thss time next week While the reporter was
10 seoversatioD with this gentleman an old
switchman came up. He had formerly been in
ths employ OF the company the superintendent
represented, and said he wanted 10 be taken on.
It was learned from him that many Of the older
switchmen who, having families dependent on
than, went out two years ago. had failed TO be
supported according 10 the strikers promises
and had experienced then great suffering. They
now feel a bitter opposition to the svItchmeu's
organization. Another OF these men who had
never been re-iustated since the former strike
told the reporter that he had learned on good
authority that a large number of the more ex-
periencsd switchmcn were now getting very un-
easy lest that result would be repeated. and

Of confiencs in q coming victory is noticeable.
There have been several occurrences which they
freely say show that the tide is turning in their
favor. Among these they construe as not the
least important the action of the committee Of
engineers aud hremen IN requesting the superin-
tendenis to consider their grievances This. the
strikers say, means simply that the brother

them in the great strike aud will make their
next move q request to their chiefs for orders TO
go out themselves, should the officials reply be
unfavorable. The report that f. P. Sergeant,
grand chief fireman. had arrived in the city
again, is an error. However, it 10 believed that
he is hourly expected, and this Is held to indi-
cate a probability of action, on the part OF the
fremen at least, favorable TO the ewitchmeo.
The strikers all seem very confident Of being
joined soon by the brakemen, who, they say.
have important grivances OF their own. IL
is known that at the recent meeting OF the
brskernen. when they determined tc refuse to
occupy the switchmen's posts. the fact was
brought forward that several roads were paying
them nothing whatever for braking around the
Belt This, IL was said, was a hard, cold RIDE,
and more difficult than other ranges OF track
because of tho large numb er of crossings; aud
they proposed to demand pay for II, the same
as any other section of the road.
The brakemen also agreed with the strikers
10 wanting more regular times for their meals,
and in thinking that twenty-six days should con-
stitute a month. taking q particularly decided
stand in favor Of the latter. In talking with q
member of the switehmenis organization last
night be was asked what basis they had for
thinking the companies would eventually treat
with them, and said: 1T is right here. We are
placing least dependence Of all upon the outside
brotherhoods' assistance. There is no need for
them TO strike. But we know that these Off
cials here do not know what they are talking
about when they say IL is an easy matter to fill
our places. A large number OF men cannot be
readily found who are willing to undertake such
hazardous work; and besides, If they were will
ing, the b~reakage account. which is big enough
under experienced men, would run up to moro
than their wages. This is the first chance the
officials in this city have had to get a taste OF
the effects OF q blockade. and they will see it
much worse than this before the strike is ended,
If it is continued much longer. The blockade
here is nothing to what / have seen in other
cities, where it has sometimes taken several
months to get over the effects of a strike such
as this one
The switchmen and thsir sympatizsrs held
another meeting at the Masonic Hall last night,
which lasted from 7:30 until a very late hour,
and at which there were reported to be a largo
number of brakemen, but only a small deputa-
tion or engineers and fremen.

The First District Contest,

Hon. Frank B. Posey, Republican candidate
for Congress in the First congressional district
of this State. was in the city yesterday taking
initiatory steps preparatory to contesting the
congressional seat from that district. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Posey was only defeated
by about twenty votes OF the face o: the re-
turns. and he now claims that but for the most
open aud manifest frauds he would have been
elected by a handsome majority. "a large part
of the district" said Mr.. Posey to a Journal re-

bers of the district can be readily shown. At

Special TO me INDIANAPOLIS Joarnal
NEW YORK, Nov. 2S-Grand Army men in
this city seem to recognize the importance Of
the movement begun IN Indianapolis yesterday,
and admit that a split in the organization is in
evitable. Joseph A. Joel, editor of the Grand
Army Gazette, says the movement will be ma
tional in extent. He says the Democratic mem
bers have always been treated as more or less
interloDers in the g.. A. r. The order has always
had politics In it. and the Republicans have al
ways run II. The Democrats have been ostracised
and treated as traitors, even when they had
been MANNED in battling for the Union. Other
q. a. X. men indorse these statements, and say
the Democrats now propose to form a non po-
li.ical and charitable organization. such as the
g. a. T. was originally intended TO be. The
new order will be called by some such name as

veterans will be welcome. 1t is expected that

will join the new organization.
