Statements Regarding the Railway Man
ayers ''by the Record"
Howard said that in deciding to strike
and not handle Pullman cars the men in
every instance and not the A. r. u. officers
were responsible. He went on to SAY
that the General Managers association
was formed for the avowed purpose of
fighting and defeating any strike, and the
cost Of such q fight on any road was to be
borne pro rata by the other roads. II

{. "What is that record-the newspapersf''
asked Commissioner Herman.
mo. sir. The managers prepared book
classifying the wages and work on all
roads. The books were pri nted by Poole
Bros. and H. o. Shepard s. Co., and the
original matter is in possession of the
general managers"
Continuing he said that there were
about 900, 900 railway employees in North
America, of whom 102, 900 belonged to the
older organizations, from 120,0 600 to LAC, 600
to the A. X. u, and the balance were not
organized. 1t was this balance the A
X. U. was after. 1t was the lack of unity
among the older orders that caused the
Organization of the A. X. Z. For instance
there were engineers in the Firemen's
brotherhood, because a man could not Join
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
till he had been an engineer a year. Some
times it happened that Grand Chief Ar
thur and Grand Master Sargent could not
agree on what they wanted for the men.
So there were conflicts between the train.
mems and the switchmen's uniors and
the other unions.
'Your action toward the Pullman en-
ployes was merely one Of supportt"
Not entirely. We were forced into it.
We had to do this or surrender"
"Whyf
Because of the position taken by the
general managers"
But their action was taken after your
convention Of June H."

railroad officials. The general managers
would not recognize u.s."
"You contend that the General Manag-
crs' association was organized on the same
basis and for the same purpose ON its side
rs the American Railway Union ON its
sidef asked Commissioner Wright.
Precisely So" replied Howard. He
added that il the A. K U. managers had
thought the Pullman men wanted to get
into the A. X. U. to strike they wouldn't
have got in with the consent Of the officials.

Miss IDA WELLS, the pert and
clipper young negress. who has ex.
cited the sympathies of British no.
bility by her tales Of cruel lynchings
In this country, is now in the west
preparing to continue her crusade
against the unlawful doings of Judge
Lynch. She was born a slave, but
is said to have acquired a good edu-
cation since the war and to be ready
writer and interesting talker. The
prevailing idea is that nothing Of ad-
vantage to her race or to society will
come from her agitation. She began
wrong by pouring her tale of woe
into the ears of Britons, who are
both prejudiced against America and
ignorant Of the condition of affairs
in the south. She should have first
made her fight for "reform" in her
own country. and. il unsuccessful,
might then with some show of pro.
priety hove sought for sympathy in
Great Britain. Lynching has been
almost done away with in several Of
the southern states, but it is an evil
that will not be entirely extirpated in
the states where the blacks nearly
equal or outnumbcr the whites until
black men cease to outrage white
women. II, instead OF trotting over
the globe preaching against lynch
ing. Miss Wells would remain in the
south and west and carry on o cru.
SADIE against the crime which calls it
forth. she might accomplish a great
deal Of good.

The declaration OF war by Sir William
Hsrconrt against the House Of Lords. was
endorsed with great enthusiasm by Eve
thousand people In london who cheered
the leader TO the echo This probably
represents the feeling in England against
the House Of Lords
The House Of Lords Is steadily opposed
TO any measures Of reform proposed by
the Commons Il cannot be said to have
exercised pny discretion or choice; Il
simply opposes any thing and everything
proposed by the Commons Consequently,
there Is no reason given for opposition to
Home Rule. and the reasons, whenever
given for opposition to any measure, are
mesgre. Illogical. unsatisfactory.
II this state OF things continues. the
House OF Lords will be abolished OF

That is a true statement Of the contest.

How the English people viii decide the

But the struggle may be long and
bitter one There Is no doubt, however.
that however long the struggle mas las,
however long the 6nsl abolition Of the
House OF Lords IS II exists now, may
be delayed. in the end the people will win.
During the progress OF the contest the
power Of the House OF Lords will be cur
