Many of the Men Agree to the
Bonding System.

II. C. Baker. Master of Transportation
for the United States Express Company,
was at Superintendent Peterson's Office
yesterday afternoon and this morning,
receiving the applications OF the employees,
for WORK under the new bonding system
Up to six o'clock last night only thirty
applications were received as the major
itv Of the employees had decided not to
sign the agreement which bonded them.
Last night about one hundred of the
employees met and discussed the situa-
tion and decided to sign the agreement
thirty OF the old employees were in favor
of striking and refused to return to
work this morning under the
new rules. rhe places vacated
by the strikers were at once filed by
green hands. The old employees are now
raising objections to working with the
new men, and it Is expected that many of
the drivers will 60 out In few days.
At the Commuuipaw stables Of the
company five drivers and their helpers
fefused to work under the new bonding
system, and an attempt is to be made 70
get all the employees to go out aud compel
the company, IL possible, to abolish the
bonding system.
"These orders come direct from Super
intendent Crosby" said one of the
officials this morning, lend we are COM
pelled TO enforce them. We have eight
Wagons In the stable owing to our inabil-
ity to get men to 20 out on them. The
reduction in the mems salaries
viii amount to very little and I do not
understand why Q strike should be or
dered. This system, which our company
has adopted. Is In operation on the Wells
Fargo and American Express Companies
The strike of so few of our men has not
crippled us at all and their places will be
filled as soon as possible
/ interviewed one os the striking drivers
this morning, and he said:--"This is not
only scheme to reduce our wages, but
they intend to root out the old drivers
who are being paid more money than they
will pay the helpers whom they will now
promote 10 be drivers. Nearly all of the
drivers and helpers who refused to work
this morning under this bonding system
have secured work. The old employees
will not work with green hands. as they
win be compelled to do two or three hours
more duty every day. A move is on foot
to get the old drivers to go out on strike,
and IL we succeed the company will be
badly crippled, and Imagine will abolish
the bonding system in this city,
The men in New York returned to work
this morning under the bonding system,
having decided that to strike now would
result in an easy victory for the company.
