THE HEADING STRIKE.
The shut out Likely To He Invcstigat.
ed by Congress.

WAsHiyoToS, Jan. 20.-Thc subject Of
the Reading railroad strike came up before
the House committee on commerce today,
through q request by the Subcommittee,
10 which had been referred the Anderson
resolution providing for nm inquiry into the
strike, that Il be discharged from the fur
thcr consideration OF the matter. As q
reason for making this request, the sub
committee stated that Il regarded the sub.
joct rs one OF such gravity as to demand
consideration at the bands Of the full COM
mittce. After n short discussion the re-
ques, was granted, and an earnest debate
ensued upon the merits OF the proposition.
II appears that the committee Is pretty
evenly divided, a number Of It's members
iavoring an immediate inquiry into the
strike, while perhaps az many more
take the ground that II the strike concerns
anything more than private interests, and
is properly subject for investigation by
the government, the inquiry should be
made by the interstate commerce commits
sion, which has jurisdiction, II public
rights are concerned. The matter will he
further considered next Tuesday, when an
effort will be- made 10 dispose Of the rcsolu.
ton. II Is understood that a delegation
from the Knights OF Labor will try 10 Sc
cure a hearing upon that day 10 present
their side Of the case.

Special Dispatch TO the Appeal
WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.--As has been al
ready stated in these dispatches, Mr.. Phe-
lan's bridge bill has been favorably reported
from the commerce committee and placed
on the House calendar. Mr. Wheeler
threatened opposition and fight, and
there was some probability Of serious de-
lay. This morning, however, Mr.. Wheeler
appeared before the commerce committee
and reported that everything had been sat
isiactorily arranged, and the East Tennes-
see, Virginia x Georgia, the Louisville &
Nashville and the Memphis 4 Charleston
roads had all agreed to join the Kansas
City, Memphis & Birmingham in building
the bridge. The charges for the privileges
Of the bridge will be only sufficient to pay
off certain amount Of the bonds yearly
and interest at or O per cent. on the re-
mainder, so that neither OF the companies
will make any direct profit from its struct-
ure, nor do they desire to do 80. IL is
probable that Mr.. Phelan will be able TO
get his bill before the House in a few
days.
A representative Of the East Tennessee,
Virginia & Georgia system said TO yourcor
respondent today that il would certainly
before long commence building an exten.
sion on their road from Memphis 10 some
point in Arkansas.

POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
Dr. Green Appears Before the Senate
Postal Committee in Opposition.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Sawyer,
chairman Of the Senate postofIice commit
tee, called his committee TO order at II
O'Clock this 'morning, and DIR. Norvin
Green, president OF the Western Union
Telegraph company, addressed the COM
mittec in opposition 10 the government
telegraph bills. lie, Of course devoted
his time IN attempting to show that postal
telegraphy would never succeed, but intro
duced no new arguments against II. lie
even said the Western Union was not q
monopoly.
Mr.. Gardiner G.. Hubbard addressed the
committee in favor OF the postal telegraph
system proposed in the bill introduced by
Senator Dawes. This was, he said, the
plan which he had advocated for many
years before this committee. He gave
Il as his opinion that Of the $685.
100000 Of capital stock Of the
Western Union company about sS,000,000
or $1,000, 600 mad been paid in cash by the
stockholders, and probably as much more
by stockholders oil other telegraph COM
panics, which bad become bankrupt and
had then been bought up by the Western
Union, and that the rest Of IL had been
taken from the public and in the shape OF
telegraph tolls. IL was true, ~ DR.. Green
had told the committee, that the present
value Of the Western Union property was
very large. lie did not believe II would bc
possible 90 duplicate It's 100000 miles oi
wire for less than 500 amile, which would
amount TO SGO,OO0,OO0 Over aud above
this value Of the property were other large
values lie had always regarded is right
oi way over the railroads OF the country o.
being nearly as valuable as the other
franchises of the company. There was
then this great monopoly, with a capital OF
SSB, ,O00. 900, nearly thrcc-eighthR Of which,
or about S27, 100000, was held, as DIR.
Grcn had told the committee. by the
directors Of the company. Tho directors,
therefore, had virtually monopoly and
controlled the whole business, since II
would be utterly impossible at any stock.
holders meeting to obtain a controlling
vote over the stock held by the directors
themselves.
Dr. Green corrected the statement and
said that frequently NJ stockholdCn' meets
ings thrcc-fourihs Of the capital stock was
represented.
Mr.. Hubbard, continuing, said that IN
this country there was, practically speak.
spg, no competition In telegraph busines.
and there could be none. for Il was busi.
ness which could be managed much more
easily and chcaply by one company than
by a number oi companies. But, tho
question arOse whether the government
could not manage IL much more chcaply
than the Western Union company, aud
whether the Western Union company H.
self could not manage II much more
chcaply than Il does. Mr.. Hubbard
thought the question should be answered
IN the affirmative. lie then went on "a
