HAYES PUTS IN AN OAR.
He Wants the Government to
Keep Its Hands or

PHILADELPHIA. July ii. w. Hayes,
general secretary of the *. of L., is do
ing his best to have the United States
government keep its hands off in the
present big fight between the railroads
and theil employees. He has written
the following letter to congressman and
senators in support OF a resolution to be
introduced by Senator Kyle tomorrow
at the instance Of Mr.. Hayes:
so the Members of the House of
Representatives and Senate in Congress
Sembled-Gentlemeu: We beg leave
TO call your attention to the joint reso-
luton introduced by Senator Kyle in
the United States senate today, Monday,
July 2, 1894, and ask for it at your hands
Immediate favorable action. The
United States government, if we are
correctly informed, contracts with the
various railroad corporations TO carry
the u nited States mails. in no case do
the contracts call for the attachment of
other cars than mail cars on mail trains.
"fhe various companies whose en-
ployes are now on a strike are seeking
to enlist the services of the United
States government i'll cOercing their EN-
ployeS ia perform services against their
will, under cover of the said contracts
for carrying mails. 1t is we'll known
that these employees stand ready at all
times 10 do service on mail trains.
"ln view Of these facts and the here
tofUre declared policy of the govern
ment TO in no way interfere with pri-
vate enterprises, such as railroad cor
pOrationS, unless the laws of the land
are violated, we hereby petition you TO
carry out this declared policy now by
the passage Of the Kyle joint resolu-
tons.
The railroads are either public or
private enterprises. If the former, 1t is
the duty of the government to assume
control thereof and give to the employees
the same fair emolument ana just treat
ment accorded all other government
employees. If the latter,the government
has no right 10 interfere in any way be-
tween the corporations and their en-
plOyes, or render the former the assist
aiace of the United States courts or
armies in coerciDg said employees. If
the mail contracts of the government
with the railroad companies are not
completed, there is ample remedy in the
penalties attached to and in the courts
of the land.
Believing the above to be the acts
IN the case, we respectfully petition
you to do justice to the great mass OF
your constituents by the Immediate
passage of the Kyle JOINT resolution.
"JoHN W. HAYES"
Mr.. Hayes expresses himself as sure
the men will win the fight if not inter
fered with by government troops.
They will hold Chicago in their
grasp" said he land not only Chicago,
but all the great West, if the federal
government does not send troops

Large crowds spent the day at White
