BIG FOUR VOTES AGAINST A STRIKE

Oun look"-B. and q. Employees.
CIN,INNATI, sept. "a messenger boy
walked up TO the handsome summer cot
tage OF President Ingalls,, Of the Big Four
railroad, in the mountains Of Virginia,
with a little yellow envelope that concealed
most welcome intelligence. It contained
message bearing this brief yet ultra-siG-
niticant sentence: THE men have voted TO
accept the proposition, and they will not
strike" This succinct,y gives the culmi-
nation Of the trouble between the train
men and officers Of the Big Four. The
work Of canvassins the vote Is concluded,
and while the result has not been officially
announced q slip Of paper found in the
room in which the vote was counted shows
that the iiremen and brakemen expressed
disposition to combat the order reducing
salaries even 10 point OF striking.
small Majority Against Striking.
But 10 per cent. favored the acceptance
of the executive circular. Among the
conductors and engineers the result was
vastly different They voted by small
majority against striking. The passenger
men, conductors and engineers alike, are
less aggrieved than the freight employees.
This l. due to the disparity of freight
aud passenger traffic Incident TO the
World, fair the passenger business has
been very large and the depression in the
interests Of the country have cUrtailed the
freight traffic 10 marked degree. On
this account the passenger men have been
enjoying good pay, while the freight men
have experienced the greatest difficulty TO
make good money, as all are paid on the
mileage basis The chiefs have been noti-
fed Of the action OF the men and they will

made the last time that he met the broth
erhOod chiefs j. what the men now &C
cept. 1t can by no means be construed
into concession. He simply pledges on
Jan. l, TO take up the present wage scale
and If he finds that it needs equalizing be
will give it attention and make such con-
cessions to the men rs the interests of the
country at that time may justify. He is
ou' spoken, however. in saying that the
scale as effective before he made the re-
ductIOn was very excessive and he viii
never consent to restore it. The past few
days epublic belief has been that trouble
would be averted and the largely increased
business Of the Big Four has not been the
least affected by strike rumors.

fogged by his schoolmaster. took an oath
that when he grew to be q man he would
fog the master. When he arrived at the
age of about forty-five and the master about
seventy. he met him and proceeded to exc
cute his threat. The result was that the old
gentleman downed him in about two min
utes and gave him a worse flogging than he
had before. When at length the master let
him up, he said he would now wait until
the old gentleman got to be about one hun
dred before he tackled him again.
