STRIKE COMMISSION.
The Pullman Commission Met Today
and Examined Howard.

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-The strike COM
mission appointed by President Cleve-
land to investigate the Pullman and rail-
road strikes began its work today. The
sessions were held in the government
building IN the court room and attracted
many spectators
After preliminary work Vice Presi-
dent q. w. Howard of the A r. Z. was
called as the first witness. Mr.. Howard
began his statement by expressing that
the commission would use every effort TO
get to the bottom of the matter nnder
consideration.
Commissioner Herman assured him
that the investigation would be thOrOugh h
and asked the witness numerous ques-
tions as to his past and present occupa-
ton and the nature of his official position
IN the A. R L.
''Now,' said the commissioner, "tell us
what in your opinion caused the railroad
strikes"
THE strikes were caused" answered
Mr.. Howard. "by the statement Of the
general managers that they would back
up Mr. Pullman during the strike"
who told you thatr"
''The newspapers printed the state
ment, crediting It to General Managers
Egan and St. John"
Mr. Howard then entered into an ex
haustive recital of the troubles leading
up to the original Pullman strike.
s'W as the action of your union in the
strike" asked Commissioner Wright,
merely for the protection of the inter
ests of the Pullman employes?'
mo; not entirely" said Mr.. Howard
THE general managers had organized
against US and we had to protect our
Selves"
"In other words" said Mr. Wright,
"you believed that the railroads had on
their side, an organization with exactly
the same purposes in view as your union
on your slider"
"Yes sir, that is just what they had j"
Were you aware" asked Judge
Worthington, ''that the railroads had con-
tracts with the Pullman company"
I'VE were, and we were also aware
that those contracts were a violation of
the interstate law. They allowed
the carrying of none but Pull
man sleepers and were a
direct dissemination against the Wag-
ner cars. In other words the rail-
roads were enforcing the same sort of a
boycott on the Wagner cars that our
union desired on the Pullmans."

ST. JOHNS HOT SHOT.
Directed at the Senate in a Speech at
Port Richmond.


New YoRK, Aug. 15.-Ex- Governor
John p. st. John made lively talk at
Port Richmond at the Prohibition park
in which he severely scored the senate
His remarks received loud approval He
said:
To-day in Washington we have the
highest legislative body in the country,
under the influence of Tammany quar-
reling over one-eighth Of a cent pound
tariff on sugar. They are spending mil
lions quarreling while they are sweeten-
ing their financial condition by sugar in
vestments, until the senate under Tam
many influence has become a stencil in
the nostrils of the people
IF was God Almighty fifteen min
utes l would abolish the senate or elect
it by the direct vote of the people.
"In 1892 the Democratic party declared
the tariff to be robbery, but it has not
been able to muster enough votes in the
senate to condemn the robbery. There is
too much molasses, too many flies"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-It is stated
with positiveness by members of con-

President Cleveland that he will not veto
the tariff bill. They do not say he has
told them so, but they say he talks in a
way to make 2 veto out of the question.
They say the only doubt remaining is
as TO whether the bill will be-
come law by the presidents sigma
