brazil might cause diseord, they sailed
for Europe with tho understanding thai
they were never to return. Thus began
and ended what Is perhaps the mos
orderly revolution in history.
The peaceful manner In which slavery
was abolished in Brazil was not less re.

sion which slavery caused In the United
States furnishes strange contrast t.

ply conceded the demand temporarily as the
easiest course out of the difficulty. The ma
jority of them have accepted contracts wnlcn
they are forced to fill under penalty. 1t is
my opinion that just as soon as the present
furry and the present unusual demand Tor
labor is past, all Of these shops will imme-
diately come back to 10 hours work for i0
hours pay; or, failing in this, they Will
shut down altogether"
Have no large or important establish
ments conceded the demand for 10 hours
paw for nine hours work?"
None have, to my knowledge, with the
exception of Jones 8 Laughlins (limited)
and Macintosh, Hemphill & Co., both Of
whom, presume, have contracts on hand
which must be filled at any cost and without
much regard to the principles involved. In
so-far as the railroad shops and locomotive
shops are concerned, none of these have
been asked for 10 hours pay for nine hours
work, to my knowledge, and if they be, 1
predict you will find they will take the same
action precisely that we have. Any other
course with us would mean ultimate bank
ruptcy. Our business does not run by fits
and starts as many shops do. Our works
run continuously and regularly.
WOULD MEAN A LOSS.
"Our margin of profit is very small, and
to grant such demand as the present would
simply mean. the taking away from our
stockholders their sole einducement for operat-
ing the business. Our contracts with
agents for our product are SO drawn as to en-
able us TO stop indefinitely in the event of
strikes or disturbances of any kind; hence,
it is purely question with us, whether 1t
is more profitable to run or to stop.
"It seems to me unfortunate, that as soon
as little prosperity makes itself apparent
in the country, the workingmen, who derive
the greatest benefit from it, should imme-
diately set to work to do what they can to
dissipate it. Prosperity means confidence,
and both are timid and volatile. Nothing
dissipates them quicker than labor troubles.
At the electric company's Offices, Garri-
son alley, it was stated that 200 men were
employed. Neither Mr.. Pease nor Mr..
Schef1er could be found to verify the state
ment. At the gas fuel company's shops,
one or two men were seen about, but the
plant was idle.
