MAY STRIKE AGAIN.
Further Cause for Discomfort on
the Lehigh Valley,
REDUCTION IN WAGES ORDERED.

The Reduction Affects Yard Engineers
and Firemen and Road Firemen, and
Includes Only New Mon and Ex-strikers
Who Have Been Re-empIoyed.
BUFFALO, Dec. 1.-THE Lehigh strike
may be reopened in all it's intensity. An
official circular has been promulgated, ad-
dressed to the employees on the northern
(Buffalo) division, and announcing a re-
dnction in wages. The employees on this
division have enjoyed pay schedule
which has been the envy of railroad men
in the service of other companies. The
present reduction applies to yard engineers
and firemen and road firemen. The new
scale fixes the pay of yard engineers at 25
cents an hour, yard iiremen at lG cents an
hour for the first six months II cents for
the next six months and i7lI cents after
TINT; road firemen sl90 n day for the first
six months, S2 for the second six months,
and s. 10 after that.
The peculiar feature OF this order is that
1t will not affect the Lehigb's old em-
ployes who did not go out on strike last
month. The new schedule will affect the
'scabs" and the taken back Brotherhood
men alike and alone.
A chief Of Brotherhood said to the As
sociated Press correspondent: I'VE believe
in letting the officials back down grace
fully not in trying to humiliate them be
cause we have won, but the temper of our
men, who find their old places filled by
incompetent men and are met with re-
fusals TO re-employ, has to be cooled by
continual application of sensible advice.
Now that this order has been issued re-
ducing wages, not on the basis of relative
competency or length of service, but as
punishment for being a Brotherhood man,
it is possible that the men will insist on
reopening the strike again.
Today the behigh is moving as much
freight as it was moving when the strike
occurred. The through sleeping car ser
vice in operation on the Lehigh prior to
the strike was resumed this morning.

Hon. Josiah H. Drummond was, be-
fore coming to Portland, very prominent
and influential in the politics of Kenne-
bee county in those early days of the
Republican party when Mr.. Blaine was
coming to the front. 1t was in 1858 when
Mr. Blaine was reporting the Maine leg
isiature, that Mr.. Drummond was elected
Speaker of the House. For this place he
had lively contest with William Treby
johnson, of Augusta, who was Mr..
Blaine's friend. In that contest
Mr.. Drummond became very we'll ac-
quainted with Mr.. Blaine who was, of
course, an active supporter of Mr.. John
son. Lot NJ. Morrill,, of Augusta, was
Governor of the State that year, and
Frederick Pike, later member of Con-
gress from Maine, was one of the leaders
in the House. Mr.. Blaine was then 2S
years of age, in the prime of fresh young
manhood, active, earnest. observing, and
especially popular with the members of
the House. His hair was then dark,
and his large dark eyes were then, as
they always continued to be, the strik-
ing characteristic of his physiogomv.
At the next session Mr.. Blaine
was q member. Mr.. Pike
was older, and better recog-
nized us a leader ON the floor; but Mr.
Drummond recalls that even in his first
term in the House Mr.. Blaine took
leading place, and was generally success
full with the measures which he cham
pioned. 1t was in 1858 that the notoyi-
GUS Peck was elected State treasurer,
and after his defalcation Mr.. Drummond,
