Chief Arthurs Reply to Manager Ashley.
CLEVELAND. O.. March 25.-The attention
of Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers. was to-day called
to the statement OF General Manager Ash
ley, of the Ann ArbOr road, sent out of
Toledo last night. In regard to Mr.. Ash
Iey's statement that his road pays a higher
rate TO engineers than any other road in
Michigan, Mir. Arthur said: That is
doubtless true In regard to freight, but not
as to the passenger service. There he is
only paying 1910 cents per mile on one. l
think, the northern division, less per mile
than any other road know of In Michigan.
That IS all his claim amounts TO on that
score"
But be asserts that the engineers only
work eight hours per day, or less. and that
they earn Sl.2U0 TO 81. 4OO per annum. What
do you say to THAR
why, he refers there, as he says. to only
seven men, Our men contend, and they
have often represented TO me, that they are
on duty twenty hours before receiving pay
for overwOrk. This is simply a question
OF veracity between our men and Mr. Ash
ley. They stana ready to testify in court
at any time that they are often made TO
work twenty hours before the overtime be-
gins TO DC counted" dshz
What have you to say to his remark
that you advertised yourself as q law-abid-
Nothing at all. am we'll known where
l reside. and my reputation Will not suffer
from comparison with Mr.. Ashley's.
1t is not necessary to answer vague insin-
uStions. which lack the merit of straight
out attrmations, solely because they have
nothing to stand on"
Mr.. Arthur WAS asked about the boycott
rule which he Is accused OF trying TO con-
ceal from the court. He said the charge
was absurd. The rule had been in existence
ever since the 20" strike. 1t had never
been published. but 1t was not secret lt
brotherhood. and the general managers of
the railroads all know of its existence.
Attorney Harper the Ann Arbor Csaea.
TOLEDO. O., March 25-Hon. w. T. Har-
per. of rerre Haute. Ind. arrived here to-
day and Will appear in the United States
court Oh Monday. In the hearing of the in
functions against Chiefs Arthur and Sar-
gent. Mr.. Harper has been counsel for the
brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen for
eleven years. In all interview this even
ing he said: Il am glad this question has
been raised. No matter what the result
may be. We shall come out OH top. If we
are wrong and the court should make the
injunction permanent there is but one
course LETT TO ue. Congress made the laws
and Congress can repeal and amend them.
The railroad companies have the stuff. but
We have the votes. and the votes are the
necessary article to make the Con gressmen.
We will have laws that will not prevent
our obtaining justice when It Is fonnd
necessary to resort to extreme measures.
1t will take a little time. but. nevertheless,
we Will win In the end" 49,
On Monday Judge Taft will hear the mo-
tion for an injunction against Chief Arthur,
to restrain him from issuing any >ytders TO
brotherhood engineers on connecyhg roads
to boycott Ann Arbor freight. Judge Kicks
will, on the district bench. hear the argu-
ments in the cases of the Lake Shore en-
gineers and trenien arrested q week ago.
The rumOr as to the coming Of President
Gompers. of the American Federat,on of
Labor. to call ont all the freight handlers,
swltchmen, coal shovelers ETC.. of the Ann
Arbor. is uncontirmed. The Ann Arbor has
taken back five OF Its old engineers who de-
cisred themselves willing to 60 to work on
the terms offered by the company.
