LABOR IS KING.
A COMBINATION STRIKE PARA
LYZBs RAILROAD TRAFFIC.
The Strike Brought On by the Pullman
Oar Company's Oppression Of Shop
men-It Spreads Like Fire.

The most gigantic railroad strike in
the history Of the world 10 now in pro-
gress, and what the result Of it will be
is q question OF serious concern to all
classes Of people. The trouble began in
the shops OF the Pullman Palace Car
company, near Chicago. This company
has been gradually cutting down the
wages Of it's employees for some tine,
until the starvation point has been
reached, and as the company owns the
town of Pullman, where the shops ARE
located, rent and public nscessaries,
such as water and light, have been kept
at unreasonable prices.
Most Of these shopmen are members
Of the American Railway union, and
having been turned out Of work, their
union, on June %, decided to boycott
the Pullman cRrs, and in that way Sc
cure the assistance of other railway men
Of different trades to bring the Pullman
company to reasonable terms. The boy
colt began on certain lines June 27, but
failing N the desired effect 1t was soon
extended to ell the great roads which
use Pullman cars. the orders to union
men being to handle no trains with, these
cars in. Even the shopm en- on the va
Fious roads joined in the boycott and
the result is that traffic is parslyzed on
nearly all the Western roads. It is es-
timated that already over 100000 men
are idle from the effects Of this strike.
Most Of the railroad managers stand ouE
against the employees, claiming that they
are bound by contract to pull the Pull
man cars.
In some cases the companies have vol
UNFAIRLY closed their shops, giving as a
reason that the shops can not run when
trains are sids-tracked. This was the
case In Topeka, where the shopmen had
decided to go out Monday noon, but be-
fore the noon hour an order came from
the general manager to shut down, and
the men were saved the trouble Of strik
ing.
The strikers cause seems to be undel
the management Of Eugene Debs, presi
dent Of the American Railway union.
THE FIRST MOVE.
CHICAGO, June 2.-The first RoEms
move in the boycott Of Pullman car
was made last night when all American
Railway union men on the Illinois Cen
tral railroad were ordered to refuse Il
handle trains with Pullman cars. Tn,
order was Obsyed by the switChmsn ant

Hon. Il, W. Blue, PledsantOn, K0nsas.
DEAR S1R:-In q report Of your speech
made at Kansas City, Kas., Saturday
evening, as published in the Kansas
City Journal yesterday morning, you
are made to say: "That you like the
national platform on the money ques-
tion."
In this l presume you refer to the ma
tionsl Mimi espolis platform Of the re-
publican party. Is this so, and do you
still adhere to that PLATFORM
Inasmuch as the Kansas City Journal
is your friend / presume you will an
swer in the affirmative. II this is 30, ls
there any difference in your position
now and that of John Sherman and the
other members Of the republican party
Of this congress who have gone of after
Grover Cleveland on the money ques-
tionP
II this is so, then what have you to say
to thelast paragraph Of the money clause
Of the platform upon which you was
nominated which provides for the open
ing OF the mints OF this country TO the
coinage OF American silverP In other
words, do you eonstrue that to mean,
as it was intended (as / understand it)
that the American product should be
coined at the ratio Of Is to l, or do you
mean it shall be coined at the ratio evil
denced by the bullion value Of the two
metals.
An open and fair declaration on your
part in response to these interrogstoriss
is in order ct this time in view Of your
past political declarations on this ques-
tion, as we'll ss your declaration on last
Saturday evening, and a. an old.time
friend, who has when possible testified

LEAVING THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY
WITH ITS RECORD OF CRIME.
Morrill, and Blue, Republican Candidates,
Denounced by Delegates to the Con-
ventiOn That Nominated Them.

In support Of the assertion that some
Of the ablest men the republican party
contained are leaving that party since
the state convention, we reproduce the
following letters containing expressions
Of three OF them, W. P. Hackney, T. j.
Rude and John A. Morton. The first
two were delegates to the Morrill, con-
vention, Mr.. Hackney having been on
the platform committee Of that Conven-
tiOn. In 1892, he was chairman Of thsil
state convention. There are many more
to follow:
The advocate., 1894-07-04
OFFICIAL STATE PAPER.

tled To an answer without any equivo-
cation or hesitanCy.
want to know, If you shall be elected
to congress, what may expect from
you on this question. I was not infavor
OF your nomination OF the lRts Conven-
tiOn because Of your well known prior
financial senti ments, but ] was led TO
believe by your friends that the adoption
OF the platform referred to would meet
with your hearty appreciation, and that
you would enter into the campaign in
accordance with the spirit Of the coin
age declaration therein contained.
] know that the republican party has
been wrong on this question and seri-
ously and ra Ideally wrong, and twenty
years Of disastrous and adverse expert
ences ought TO convince the most sksp-
sical OF that fact. But these disasters
have been 30 terrific OF late that 1t
seemed to me that the leadership Of the
party must face from the breakers In
front Of whittier we are drifting, and
steer for the broad and deep ocean OF
the rehabilitation OF silver, and as step
in the direction I thought the
Kansas plank would be q bridge to tide
US over from the mistakes OF '92 to the
successful issues of '06, from the single
gold standard Of '92 to q broad states
msns-like bimetallism Of '96 40 enacted
into law prior to the crimes Of 1873 and
those following whereby silver was
stricken down.
But II you are correctly reported in
the Journal you are now where John
Sherman, Ben Harrison, and the other
CuckoOs In the republican party, who
do Grover Cleveland's bidding ON this
money question are, and you are not in
accord with the great mass Of Kansas
republicans and ought to be defeated at
the polls In November next.
As much Rs it would grieye me to see
q confederate soldier defeat you this
year, there are worse political mistakes
than voting for ex.Confedsrate soldiers
now, and to vote for man who was in
the confederate army thirty years ago,
wrong though he may have been then,
who is RIGHT ow on this great question,
Is Far better Tor the American people
than to vote FOR a man who was right
thirty years ago and fought in the Union
army, who iS wrong now and with Eng
land on this question; and L believe that
It were better EOr the republican party
to suffer defeat now on this money
question, handicapped as it is by Eng
liah and Grover Cleveland combinations,
whereby it might learn some sense, than
to have it win now on these issues in
order to strand the party in 1896, and /
would rather SEQ you beaten now than
TO have your voice added to that Of the
gang in congress who are manipulating
the republican party under the guiding
hand Of EngliBh domination.

situation OF Affairs as Viewed by a Core.
spOndent.
The result of the First district State
Delegate convention has awakened con-
siderable interest in the approaching
campaign, but very little work, except in
quiet way, can be expected until after
the State Convention, when a full head of
steam will be put on.
The success of Representative Coyle in
securing the election of his friend Mr..
Phillips, has put the former gentleman's
stock up to high notch. That he is a
hustler and a sharp, shrewd manager
was demonstrated by that result
Coyle will be the Republican Senatorial
nominee and nothing but a miracle can
prevent it, 1t has been figured that with
Mahanoy City having the SenatOrship
Shenandoah would be conceded the Leg
islative nomination and John f. Finney
seems to be the favorite for it.
John l. Matthias, who is well known
throughout the length and breadth of
this county and in many others, will not,
/ am informed be a candidate for Legisla-
ture. His overZealous friends were
rather premature in making the an
nouncement.
MacHenry Wilhelm's candidacy for the
Senatorship is u surprise to his many
friends here but as they are also friends
to Representative Coyle, who was first
in abe field, they will stand in with their
first love and take kindly to Mr., Wilhelm
on a future occasion. No stock is taken
here in the rumor that he is Hon. d. d.
Philips choice and that the latter wants
to down Mr.. Coyle. The Gordon states
man cannot afford to take sides against
Mr.. Coyle.
Hon. William f. Jones, l understand,
has the Legislative bee in his hat and il
any one outside of this place should be
nominated for Senator he would enter the
arena at once. Q. Z. II.

EFFORTS TO SETTLE.


The Trouble Between the Electric Rail
way and Borough of GIlberton.
Special TO the HERALD.
GLBEBToN, May l0.-There appears to
be disposition on the part of the parties
concerned to effect a settlement, that may
be agreeable to both sides, of the diff
Guilty arising from the relaying Of the
torn-up tracks of the Schuylkill Traction
Company at this place, and which re-
suited in the bloody scenes that occurred
on the night of the 2lst Of August, last.
Efforts are now being made by parties on
both sides of the controversy looking to
that end
A meeting of the representatives Of the
Traction Company and a number of
Councilmen and prominent citizens of
this place was held here recently, when
the question of relaying the tracks was
thoroughly discussed. There was con
ciliatory spirit apparent on the part of
both sides, and although no definite CON
clusion was reached, yet it is expected
that in few days matters will so shape
themselves that the relaying of the tracks
will meet with no opposition from the
citizens. 1t is certainly a great incon-
venience to the travelling public to be
compelled to change cars at this point.

minutes In which to reach the Main street

dent was when he felt the jar of the car
striking the body. The car stopped about
or feet after it assed the body. A nest
of children always play about the tracks

Esq, and McHenry Wilhelm, Esq, was
present in behalf Of the Schuylkill Trac'
tion Company.
