The following was given out for publ
cation this afternoon:
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. II.
Mr.. I. A. Sweigard, General Manager:
Dear Sir: The operations of the yards at
Buffalo, Waverly and Sayre will be re-
sumed Thursday, the 18th inst. You
are hereby instructed to pay off and dis
charge at once all employees who have gone
out on strike, except such hitherto efficient
and faithful men as you are convinced were
coerced into the abandonment of their duties
and who, if left to their own free will,
would not have left the service of the COM
pany and may have families or others de-
pendent upon them. But the ringleaders
and strikers, who are in any way RESPONSE
BILE for or participated in the destruction
of the company's property, or who have
been guilty of interference with the move
ment of trains or the performance of duty
by other employees, must not now or ever
be restored to the service of the company.
In exercising the discretion with which
you are charged you should bear in mind
that while it is to be regretted that there
are men weak enough to yield to the die
tation of others in abandoning their places
with good pay and steady work, in forever
disqualifying them for the service of tho
company great hardship may be imposed
upon their families, who should not be
made to suffer if it can be avoided.
(Signed) A. A. MCLEOD, President.
