The New York Times, founded by Henry

General Manager St John Tells About
the Association and the RlackIfst

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-General Manager So.
John, OF the Rock Island road, was before
the strike commissioners today. He read
the history of the strike as II affected his
road. He was asked if his company had
blaeklisted men. mot in the sense that
the word is generally understood" said
the witness. "When a man Is discharged
from one division We send a statement to
our other divisions, that he may not be
re-employed. but no such statement is
sent to other roads unless requested"
Can you show us q copy of your con-
tract with the Pullman company 7" asked
Commissioner Herman.
81 can show you the contract if you will
regard it as private. do not wish to see
it published.
81. John was asked IL the contract COM
PEELED the company TO haul Pullmans on
all its passenger trains. No." was the an
swer: I'VE can haul Pulimans on any
trains we choose. and need not haul them
unless We wish"
"Then you were not compelled to haul
Pullmans during the striker No"
ST. John was asked as to the number of
strikers who had been taken back. "Most
of our men," he said. ''quit work through
fear, but of SD actual strikers. only sew
enty-four have been taken back. When
q union has 80 per cent. or more OF our
men" he said, 1--WE, as q general thing,
treat with its representatives. We had no
dealings with the American Railway
Union, AZ it had less than 500 OF our en-
ployes."
Ibid your road cut wages last spring or
this summerf" asked Commissioner
Wright. "No. sir. we cut our force. but
not the wages"
"How much did the strike cost the Rock
Island road" Herman asked. 81 cannot
give the exact figures, but should say
between $500, 900 and 81. oo0. co.,"
ST John emphatlcally denied that the
United States marshals were controlled by
the railroads. The witness said that many
of the rioters who overturned and burned
cars were strikers.
In the afternoon Mr.. ST. John gave q
history of the General Managers Associa-
ton and denied that IL had it's inception
from any desire to reduce the wages of the
men. He said further:
"The schedule of wages we have COM
piled seems to have been misunderstood.
1t is q tabulation ofrailroad wages all over
the country. Ii was impossible 10 have any,
thing like equality of wages for the same
class of service without some such tabu-
lation. 1t had nothing to do with
any intended reduction of wages, aud was
not followed by a reduction. Two or
three Southern lines found they were pay
ing wages really in excess of the wages
paid by their competitors. aud naturally
reduced them TO an euuaityh
