STARVING RAILROAD LAB0RERS
The WOrkmen. on the Astoria and
South Coast Railroad in a State
Of DestitutiOn-Gfe Trouble.

The following article from the
Astoria Transcript shows that some
thing must be "wrong in the
camp" on the Astoria and South
Coast railrOad. Following is the
story told:
Another gang Of men, about fifty
in number came in from the rail-
road camp on the Lewis and Clarke
about six miles from town. The
men are in the most destitute rir-
cumstances having their pockets full
of time checks and not cent Of
money. They can't even get warm
on their checks. They have moth
ing to eat aud 40 place to sleep, and
no one will give a cent on the dol
lar for the time checks. They are
all strong, able-bodied men, but they
can get nothing Ia do, and are Oh
the point Of starvation.
"No one will ever know SAID
one Of the most intelligent OF them.
"Ine suffering and privations We
have endured since Christmas. We
have worked all day IN ice and snow

and little or no covering to keep us
from freezing. During all this ;lme
Wc have had nothing 10 eat but
beans and bread with occasionally

quality. The men could at differ
rnt times have sold their time
checks at a small discount, but they
have had 50 much confidence in the
road and the contractors, and the
that their money would
be paid in few days that they have
worked along without murmuring.
Now over two months pay is due
them, and though they believe that
their checks will be paid they can
not live on assurances. Tins morn
