ST.. PETERSBURG, Now 13.-There is
evidence to prove that tho accession of
Nicholas has not removed the anxiety
caused by the Nihilists, an anxiety
which undoubtedly shortened the life OF
Alexander. Under police order to-

privileged persons were seen in

Of being arrested and fined

doors and windows were ordered closed
by the police and householders were
held responsible for the good behavior
Of visitors during the passage OF the

these precautions might have safely
been dispensed with. An imposing

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-The Railway Age
in ils next issue will contain reply to
the report OF the United States strike
commissioners, addressed to those gen
tlemen.
1t says, in part:
The personal opinions as conveyed in
the report Of the tedsral strike commits
sion are invested with unwonted inter-
es. to the public at largo from the fact
Of the official dignity with which they
have been clothed. All good citizens
must Of necessity be interested in the
commi.sion's official conclusion, and it
appears 10 be the part OF citizenship to
call attention to, and if possible, cor
rect any oversights or misstatements
Of facts into which the commissio ners
have fallen.
The report says:
ut should be noted that until tho
railroads set the example, general
union Of railway employees was never
attempted. The union had not then
gone beyond enlisting tho men upon
different systems in separate trade
organizations" This statement is
wholly false. The report itself says in
another place:
"rhe order OF the K. Of L., with an
estimated membership Of from 10000
to 10000 has always advocated the
solida.jty OF labor"

Further on the report says: at is in
evidence and uncontradicted that no
violence or destruction of property by
strikers or sympathizers took place at
Pullman, aud that until July no extra
ordinary protection was had from the
police or military against even antic-
Ipated disorder"
1t was not until July 4 that the SCR
vice Of the military was called for even
IN Chicago itself. And the commission
oInits TO mention the extraordinary
protection OF the two hundred and
twenty-ono guards OF the Pullman COM
pany, who were in service before tho
end OF Juno, and who tthe danger OF an
tlclpated disorder being so great) were

GROSS MISREPRESENTATION.
This is not only untrue, but is n radi.
cal and gross Misrepresentation of the
entire circumstances OF tho strike. It
only necessary to point out that the
strike extended, among other roads, to
the Michigan Central, Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern and Wabash COIN
panies, on which no Pullman cars were
in operation. The statement quoted
shows au amazing and almost incompre.
hensible Misunderstanding Of the essen.
tIal elements OF the strike.
Further on tho report says in refer
enco TO the Pullman tenants: "As the
bank is rent collector, it presses for tho
rent and is aided in collecting it by a
knowledge on the part of tho tenant
that by arrears he may lose his job"
On what was this knowledge based? =?
During all the years there has never
been II case where any omploye lost his
job for non-payment OF rental; and the
emp ployes had knowledge OF that How
IS the statement quoted reconciIable
with the very next sentence:
AT tho time OF the strike $4,000 OF
unpaid rent had accumulated" and the
debtors still were in possession Of their
lobsP The commission omits also to
state the fact clearly placed in evidence
that at the time OF the strike less than
one'half OF the shop employees were ten
ants OF the company, and the question
OF rentals could therefore have nothing
to do with the terms OF employment of
over two-thirds OF them.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1894-11-14

The history Of railway labor organiza,
tIons of the last twenty years is largely
made up Of what the report says was
never atom pied. Again and again
have efforts been made to consolidate,
iederAte or absorb various existing
orders into one. Again aud again in
strikes have tho different classes Of Ia
Dor on the same road and the same
classes Of labor on different roads stood
together. Again and again has the
allied labor OF several companies been
called on to enforce the demand OF one
class OF labor against one company.
The ignorance OF this fact and OF the
further fact that it was the repeated
experience Of 1t which at length drove
the railways reluctantly to unite also
in self-defense, is to anyone at all famil-
lar with the history of labor almost in.
comprehensible. The misstatement is
made the more gross by the importance
which the commission seems to attach
10 its assertion.
The report speaking OF the Pullman
phase OF tho trouble says:
"The cut in wages during this period
averaged about % per cent" This is
not true. The amount OF the reduction
was placed in evidence before the COM
mission in great detail and with exacti-
tude, and the average reduction for all
shop employees was ~ per cent
0npage S8 the report says: Through.
out the strike the strife was simply over
handling Pullman cars, the men being
ready to do their duty otherwise"
