THE TRAMP QUESTION.


The attempted tragedies of the tramp John
flowery, / this city and Hallowell, Thurs
day, is another argument for more stringen,
methods in dealing with this class of people.
The passport system of continental countries
while it would never conform TO an Ameri
cans conception of what is comfortable with
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,
has certain advantages which are decidedly
beneficial. The tramp nuisance is constant
ly gaining ground. Whether this comes from
greater concentration of the members of
this fraternity in Maine or whether the
fraternity itself is growing, it is hard to tell,
but certainly the community has seen the
evil effects of such unknown and suspicious
individuals to go at large.
This is going to be year of crime and
criminals" said well known Augusta law
yer to the scribe as the officers were leading
the wild eyed Flowery up the hill to the Jail.
"A year of crimef"
Eyes, one of those periodic outbursts of
wickedness, which are pretty sure to come
ohce III tnfee or Tour years.
''Do you believe that crime is periodicals."
THAT has been my experience. | don't
say it is a rule, or that there is any under
lying reason for it. I only know it has been
80 IN the past and | think is apt to be 60
again in the future"
do you believe that after three or fou!
vear. nf r.pr.ssior III. or;,,;,ot faat;..x q.
the community is bound to find vent in a
series of atrocites!"
That's the way it has seemed to me-
why do you believe this such Year,"
al feel IT, as the saying is, in my bones
beside. the year ha, started in wrong just
look over the files of your paper and see
what succession of startling and horrible
crimes are already upon the list. | hope it
will grow no larger for there are already
enough to satisfy evn wild Westei n
State"
A look at the police records show that from
March goth, TO May lst there have beer
iifty-sx dodgers in the station, a large per
centage of whom were undoubtedly tramps
Now that the warm weather has come again
these fellows will spread themselves out over
the State TO be constant menace to the
safety of the community.
The number of tramps who have passed
the winter in Maine jails is larger than most
people suppose, and the greater part of these
will soon be on the road again. The
county jails do not possess the facilities for
dealing with the tramp question. 1t is
matter which will probably claim the at.en-
ton of the next legislature. and in the mean
time the trade in bull dogs will be brisk.

PRESIDENT CORBIN.
HIS srArEMENr oFTHE TROUBLES
with the Striking Reading Employss-Hi,
Response to Communications from the
People Along the Line who are Iuter-
oStSd in u Wind up of the Dinoulty.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 22.-Presiden
Oorbin, Of the Reading Railroad, in an
swer to the various communications from
people along the line Of the road who are
deeply interested in the operation Of both
the railroad and coal and iron companies
hns made long statement in regard tc
the recent troubles between the companies
and their employees. He says: "In De.
Gambler certain car loads Of merchandise
arrived at Port Richmond consigned to
the Philadelphia Grain Elevator Com.
pany. The employees Of this company at
Port Richmond in charge Of the switch
engines refused to transfer these cars Of
the Elevator company, and gave as reR-
son that the company did not employ
Knights Of Labor. They were i'm
rhediataly notified that with such a
question this company had nothing
to do; that we were common carriers
and bound to receive and deliver freight
TO any person or company that offered 1t
TO us and paid for transportation. Not
wlGhstanding this they still refused to
by the general manager Of this company
for their discharge from the service OF the
company. Because Of that action the
leaders Of the Knights Of Labor ordered
oil the employees Of the Philadelphia &
Reading Railroad Company "on strike"
They left the service OF the company with
notice to II that they would not return
unless the men discharged were reinstSted.
To this the management answered that
men discharged for disobedience OF orders
would never be reinstated, and this com.
pany proceeded to fill the places left va
cant. The men who left the service Of the
company had never made any complaint
that they were worked an unreasonable
number Of hours, that their wages were not
fair wages for work performed, or that In
any single instance they had been treated
otherwise than kindly by the manage
ment. Notwithstanding this, and that
under the terms OF their employment with
the company they were bound to render
honest and faithful EerviCe, complying
with all reasonable orders 1t might make
in the regular transactions OF its business,
they violated every obligation Of this
character and by their own act cancelled
any obligation there might have been on
the part Of the company to retain them in
Its service. Over $500 men left our Ser
vice. Competent men presented them
selves for service with the company.
They were employed and will be retained
30 long as they perform their duties faith
fully. We have never made any objec-
tion to labor organizations. So long as
men perform the duties they owe to this
company properly We shall otsnd by them,
whether they be union or non.union men.
The trouble on the railroad is ended and
will never be opened up again.
