A BOY s HONOR
He Did Not Want to Die and Leave a
Debt Unpaid.

lie Did Not Want to Die and Leave a
Debt Unpaid.
An incident occurred last week which
points moral which it is hoped will not
be lost on the rising generation. The hero
was only boy, but such boys as he
make the kind OF men community
needs.
His name was W. NJ. Weidman. and
he had been in the employ of the Postal
Telegraph Company. While on his
death bed, and conscious that his END
was near, he said to a gentleman who
was caring for him:
Il don't want to die owing nobody
anything. l have no debts except one.
| owe Mr.. Morrison of the Western
Hotel 81 90, and l wish you would go to
him after L am gone and pay it to him
out OF my money. / do not want him to
think did not want to pay it,"
The gentleman promised to comply
with his request, and did so. 1t is not
usual for the average man to think of
such thing at such time, or TO show so
nice sense Of honor. The principle
which this little incident illustrates on
brightly IN the case of a young boy.
that account shines out much more

MANAGERS ADMIT
THAT THAY HAVE A LARGE JOB

In Fighting the A. H. U. strike. but They
Have No Idea of Entering Into Com
promise, They say-A St. Paul Manages
Gives the Railroad Side of the Question
The other Side by Debs.
CHICAGO, June S0.-The General
Managers association has issued the
following statement regarding the
strike:
'There is no attempt made to deny
that the strike is widespread and seri-
GUS. This embarasses the freight traffic
of the West to the most serious extent
of any strike since the eastern labor
troubles of 1877 and 1878. The compa-
MES have no idea of entering into a
compromise with the strikers on any
basis whatever. The railroad compa-
nies fail to see the justice of the position
taken by the A. r. U. of fighting Mr..
Pullman over the heads of the railroad
companies, who have no control over
Mr.. Pullrnan's movements, nor his
manufacturing business. The men who
are now on strike are considered
AS Employees Who Have Resigned
their positions, and who are not anx-
ious for work. Any men who desire
employment under the railroad COM
panies centering in Chicago, and who
come here viii be furnished positions
and will be afforded protection. Men
are now being hired in the East and
brought to Chicago to take the place of
men who will not work. 1t has been
charged by the A R. U. that the Gen
eral Managers association is importing
men from Canada. This statement is
absolutely false. The railroad COM
panies do not propose to employ any
men to take the place of the men now
on strike, unless such men are Ameri-
can citizens, and wherever we find
man who wants to work to take the
place of a man who will not work,
whether the substitute comes from New
York or from California, we propose to
give him job and see that he is pro-
tected" F"
