NO BLACK LISTS.
General Manager St. John Says
His Road Had None.
General Managers Association
Had a List of Strikers.
NO UNIFORM SCALE.
He Denies That Railroads
Adopted a Scale of Wages.
John M. Egan is Placed Upon
the Stand Today.

CHICAGO, Aug. 24-GeneraI Manager
St John. of the Rock Island road, was
recalled by the strike commission today.
Mr.. St. Johns testimony of yesterday. re-
garding the black list, apparently did
not satisfy the commissioners, and he was
closely questioned regarding it.
You have said,' said Commissioner
Herman, shat your road has no black list
Now Is it not "A fact that the General Man
ayers association has a black listS"
mo such thing as a real blacklist ex-
lists among the railroads to my knowl-
edge was the answer.
There was, however, believe a list
Of names prepared for the general man
ayers association Il contained the
names of the most active of the strikers,
and has l believe been submitted to the
various roads by the association. It can
not properly be called blacklist, how
ever"
Mr. St John was then asked to tell
what he knew of the story that all rail-
roads had adopted a uniform scale of
wages.
.sThe rumor is untrue he said.
HAS no such a scale been prep ireds'
swell, 1 believe something of the sort
was submitted to the general managers
association, but it was not universally
adopted. In fact. was rejected by all
but one road, and on that line was put
into only partial effect. There is ALSO
lutely no truth in the statement that the
roads in the association have adopted a
uniform scale"
John NJ. Egan, strike manager Of the
general managers association, succeed
ed Mr. St. John on the stand. Ar. Egan
was ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS his duties dur
ing the strike, and said It was his duty
to receive reports from the various roads
Of the progress OF the troubles, and sub
NIT the same to the association.
