OF CHANGING MIND.
The American Railway Union Shift
Like a Weathercock.

The American Railway Union Shifts
Like Weathercock.
All over the country to-day the Rail-
way Union men are shouting for the im-
possible - compulsory arbitration ~
Every newspaper in the land. including
the entire San Francisco pack, that sus-
tanned the Debs insurrection advocates
compulsory arbItration-a thing that
would be a paradox, since arbitration
means agreement, and cOmpulsion i'm
plies non-agreement. Compulsory agree
ment is really what compulsory arbitra-
ton means.
But while all the shout now is for the
impossible, the records show that on the
18th of June, 1894, this same American
Railway Union condemned compulsory
arbitration. The union met in Chicago
on June 18th and on that day it thus
spoke, and for once wisely:
The following resolution was introduced by
w III. Sebung OF Memphis, and adopted:
WHEREAS, A bill is now before Congress for
compulsory arbitration of all troubles arising
between mployes and the railroad com
panies, and believing that the enactment OF
and VIII lead 10 despotism and q consolidated
government, which means the enslaveuent
OF the laboring masses OF America: there
fore, be il
Resolped, That the Grand Convention of the
American Railway Union. at its first national
convention, enter Its solemn protest against
the passage OF the TaWney BILL now before
Ieesotued, That every local union be In
structed to send protest to the Senators and
REPRESENTATIVE in Congress praying that they
vo. e against the said Tawney bill.

Increasing Demand for the SerlaI-The
First Twelve Ready.
A few weeks ago the RECORD UNION
made arrangements with the publishers
OF 'Harper's Pictorial History of the
Civil War;" whereby its subscribers
might purchase each part of the series of
twenty-six numbers at eight cents per
part. Many hundreds of the numbers
have been purchased by subscribers. and
the remarkably low price at which the
publication is sold has become a matter
OF general comment.
The history is an excellent one, very
accurate. aud written by the foremost his
torians of late years. II is very freely
illustrated, and a detailed story Of the war
is told in most interesting style. The
RECORD UNION might have sold these
parts at a figure considerably in advance
of eight cents and thereby reaped a rich
profit on the sales, but it entered into
the matter solely for the benefit of its
subscribers, and is Offering each part at
exact cost-eight cents.
The first twelve of these parts have ar
rived and can be seen or purchased at

What Station Agent Duden Unearthed
at Latrobe.
"Cap' Duden, the well-known station
agent at Latrobe, while clearing out some
rubbish from drawer last Saturday, un-
earthed some relics that carried him back
III memory across quite an expanse of
time
The relics consisted of a lot of old ex-
cursion tickets for the State Fair of 1871.
They read: "Good During State Fair

superintendent
Mr.. Johnson, who was Superintendent
OF the road in those days, was the father
Of Henry Johnson, the well-known and
popular conductor, who has run on that
route for upward of twenty years.
There was also an excursion ticket from
Latrobe TO Sacramento, good for all regu-
lar trains OF the I'D, I'D. 24th ard 25th Of
October 1879, j. Il. Wright being Super
lntendent. ON the 23d the people of Sac
rainento rendered reception TO General
Grant, and special trains were run 10 this
city over all the roads entering the city.
over 5000 people came here from neigh
boring counties TO do honor TO the soldier
and eX-President, and Sacramento outdid
herself In efforts TO show her respect to
him and make it pleasant occasion for
all her guests.
Mr.; Duden presented a ticket of each
kind to Andrew Waldron, who was on a
hunting trip to Latrobe on that day, and
who prizes them highly.

or navy1 or any other service on account of
disability or by sentence OF either civil or
military court, or in any case except with
good character, and for the reasons given by
me TO the recruiting officer prior to this en-
listment-
.Given at -. this - day of -, 1s9 +.
All rejected applicants are reported to
the Adjutant- General. with the cause of
rejection in detail, and thus a complete
roster of rejected men is kept. and it is
known to every recruiting officer in the
service.
1t is TO be here noted that of all appli-
cants for enlistment scarcely more than
10 or Il per cent are accepted from among
those who are put under examination,
while exclusive of this class is a large one
tnat is rejected at sight, and to whom no
examination is applied at all. SO, too,
when an applicant applies he Is hrst
asked why he wishes to enter the army.
If he says it is because he can find moth
ing else to do, that he applies as last re-
sort, he is not accepted, because 1t IS
believed that such men Will not make
good soldiers as compared to those who
enter out of free choice and without pres
sure of hard circumstances. 1.-THE appli-
cant is a minor, the written consent OF his
parents or guardian has to be filed.
The pay, savings, retention OF pay, pur-
chase OF discharge, opportunities for pro-
motion, privileges. comforts in post life,
etc., of The soldier, and the abstract OF the
laws on these points, the laws as TO deser-
ton, etc., will be treated in distinct
article.
1t will be noted that the questions
asked Of the would-be recruit in several
cases suggest that the recruiting officer
may make other inquiries, and of other
people, TO ascertain if the applicant has
made truthful replies.

Lawton aud Devine said they were in

The bill was referred to Corporation
Counsel Devlin for his opinion as to
whether or not it should be paid.

The Chief Engineer of the Water Works
reported that a small pump was required
at the works, and the matter was referred

solvent, Flies the City.
The pinch caused by the late railroad
strike was very sharply felt by Emil
Bayer, who conducts a small grocery
store at Seventh and p streets. He had
considerable money standing out which
he could not collect, and therefore he
could not meet his own obligations.
While his debts amounted to but a few
hundred dollars, and did not exceed his
assets, he became greatly worried because
he did not have the cash to meet his bills.
So few days ago he disappeared sud
denly without informing even his wife as
to where he was going.
y esterday, however, she received a let
ter from him dated at san Francisco, and
his friends wrote to him at once urging
him to return, which advice he will prob
ably follow. 1t is not thought his credit
ors will crowd him under the circum-
stances

Judge Morrow Orders Them Produced
in Court.
Some time ago United States District
Judge Morrow OF San Francisco issued
an order commanding the Postal Tele-
graph Company to produce before the
Federal Grand Jury all the kilograms
sent by President Debs of the American
Railway Union TO the strike leaders in
San Francisco, Sacramento, Oakland and
Los Angeles.
y Yesterday morning Attorney Woods
for the telegraph company appeared be-
fore Judge Morrow and asked that the
order be rescinded, on the ground that
the court had no power to issue such an
order, as it was prohibited by our State
laws. Also that the court did not specify
any certain kilograms, but asked for an
indefinite number of them.
Attorney Garter replied to Woods, and
at the conclusion of his argument Judge
Morrow took the motion under advise
ment.
