Sixty railroads were investigated as repre-
sentative roads. There are in the United
States 1900 railroad corporations, but the
railroad business is performed by 600 oper-
ating roads. The railroads of this country
have mileage of 15S,4oO miles and employ
6S9,9l2 persons. OF the operating roads 377
prohibit the use of intoxicating liquors and
others regulate its use among employees in
one form or another. Only % railroads fur
nlsh dwelling houses for their employees, but
upwards .l9ssI RAJ oi 100 furnish the section hands
with lodgings when away from their homes.
Nineteen roads maintain beneficiary institu-
tions, to which the men and corporations
both contribute. These institutions help
those who are disabled and the families of
those VINO lose their lives in service. Many
beneficiary institutions established for the
benefit OF their men, while others pay the ex-
penses OF injured employees. About 800 of
the operating railroads either pension perm
anently disabled employees or retain them in
the service in light duty. A gOodly number
of railroads maintain libraries and reading
rooms and quite number Of roads maintain
technical schools for the education of their
employees.
Commissioner Wright discusses at some
length what he believes to be the absurdity
OF the common law rule prevailing in Europe
and America which prohibits an Injured en-
ploye from recovering damages from his EN-
ployer when the injury is the result of the
negligence or untitness of co-employe.
England, Alabama and Massachusetts have
enacted laws providing that the defense Of
unemployment shall not be held as a good
defense. while other states Of the Union
have, in some degree, modified the severity
OF the common law rule. The commissioner
shows the tendency not only of legislatures
put OF the courts to be to modify the harsh
ness of the rule.

THE STRIKE OF '77.
New York Central Men Threaten to
Make Its Equal.

ALBANY, N. Y, April 18.--Notwithstand-
ing statements to the contrary, coming from
New York city, the employees on the Central
Hudson railroad are preparing for big
strike, which they promise will equal that of
1877. Their chief grievance is against
Theodore Voorhees,. The men assert that it
has been his policy ever since he became
general superintendent, to curtail expenses
and double the work of the men. The first
aggressive step was taken by the men yes.
s%fteKes at remote- p,liHaSSes where the flag
1lsSln61gQvfces had been dispensed with.
7Tfifs necessitated a waiting of freight trains
until switchmen could be procured from
other places. Meetings are being held by
employees frequently. The West Shore men
still hold out, and it now looks as though the
strikeis finally agreed upon.
LocKPoRT, N. T., April 1S.-The threat
ened general strike in the New York Gen.
The men are forming in anticipation of such
a movement. A man sent out from the New
York Switchmen's and Brakemen's Knights
of Labor Assemblies are getting the men to-
gether in each place and urging them to sign
a contract to go out when the order is given.
From private and reliable advices it is
learned that the executive committee of the
Knights Assembly of the entire Vanderbilt
systems have had a meeting, and the griev-
ances of the men and the burden of the new
policy of the operating department laid be-
fore them, They have asked for the remov-
al Of the general superintendent of the Gen.
reasonable policy is the cause Of the trouble

OUTLAWS FIGHTING KENTUCKY TROOPS.
Rifles Crack Around An Old Sarn In
the Black Mountains.
Five of the Militia Wounded In the
First Engagement.
hot Work Expected When the Army
of Sixteen Is Reinforced.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April ia special to
the Times from Harlan Court House says:
"a deadly fight occurred this morning at
1.20 o'clock, seventeen miles east of here, up
in the Black mountains, between a detail of
the state troops, consisting of 16 privates,
Lieut.. Milton and Sergt. Pullman. and about
thirty outlaws, who were fortified in the old
barn. Five Of the soldiers were wounded.
1t is not known how many Of the outlaws
were killed, as they still have possession Of
the barn. Corp. Blanton was sent in after
reinforcements, ard knows but little, as he
left Immediately after the firing began. The
troops have the barn surrounded. and it will
be impossible for those on the inside 20 make
their escape, and the only two roads which
lead from the place of action are cut off by
pickets who are instructed to allow no one
to pass toward town. as 1t was thought best
to keep the news of the conflict from the
people about here until after the reinforce
ments had reached the place.
"The particulars, as well as can be learned
at this hour, are as follows:
Yesterday afternoon Captain Gather,
who is the commanding officer, was informed
that body Of lawless men, some of whom
had been indicted for various offences, were
fortified against the law at the above men
toned locality, and had refused to surrender
to the civil authorities. He was asked for
detail of his men to go out with some of the
civil officers for the purpose of arresting
them, and he sent sixteen privates In charge
of Lieut.. Milton, Sergt. Pullian and Corp.
Blanton. They left camp abont 5 30 yester-
day afternoon, expecting to find the men
they were pursuing in private house, about
600 yards behind the barn from which they
were fired upon.
"The attack was not looked for at that
point, and came so Unexpectedly that 1t de-
moraliZed the soldiers for a moment, but
they soon rallied, surrounded the barn, and
began firing into it from every direction,
when it was thought best to cease action and
hold the fort until the re-inforcements ar
rived with more ammunition,
''It is believed that severe fight will take
place as soon as the additional troops reach
the place, for the outlaws are fortified, we'll
armed with Winchesters, and swear that
they will not surrender, and the soldiers are
determined and want rev enge for those who
have been shot down."

CHICAGO. April 1S.-Mr. II. B. Barclay,
an exporter at Canton, who is at the Leland,
tells of horrible state of affairs in the
Chinese province Of Shantung, 81 don't be-
lieve." said Mr.. Barclay, shat any COM
munity in the world ever suffered so much
as the province Of Shantung. Fearful rs
were the disasters there last year, the people
Of the central provinces received all the at
tentlon, Although nearly all the breaks in
the Yellow river have been closed up now,
the country flooded is covered with depcs-
it Of sand, rendering cultivation impossible.
No crops can be raised this spring, and un-
less relief Is offered the people must 90 else
where or die. When la grippe was raging
in this country fearful epidemic killed
thousands in Shantung. Twenty died there
to one here, but no word of the disease ever
reached the English or American press. In
one of the biggest towns fifth Of its inhab-
itants were carried away. Proelamations
were issued calling for the assistance Of
physicians, sorceIers, or any one who could
prescribe remedy for the plague. Fabu-
l0us rewards were offered, yet no one could
find cure. To make matters worse the
Chinese government did not and does not
seem anxious to alleviate the suffering OF the
northern provinces"
