TAKING TIE STRIKERS BACK.

There hBs boon considerable talk
about the intention Of the locai rail.
ways regarding the employment OF
the men who went out during the
recent strike. The Union Pacific has
made two announcements, one Of
which appears In the dispatches today,
saying TINT the force OF men Will he
greatly u duced. This affects not only
men VINO went out on strike, but
Others Eho were In no way connected
with /that business, but were laid OIL
by SIC company owing to the paralysis
Tits traffic and the consequent dearth
work In the shops The other an.
Iouncement 10 that the men whosiruck
but who came back 10 work after the
EXPIRATION OF the time given them In
he COURTS order, would not be retained
except upon tho distraction Of the
court; the intlmation being that ne soon
~ the place. oi these men could DO
filled they would be- laid Oh.
II IL not an unusual thing for railway
arrangements to disregard local public
sentiment, but here 10 an occasion In
which tho nupl,o has n more direct
in,s,e.t than usual. In IN, recent up.

and Vays 10 the railyaya aid
which was l.yauy ueeeHnry
and for which they mus. bear
tho expense; they also went farther
and extendeI thatmor support which
~ so valuable Ia orla,s like the one Just
fassed. Therefore the wishes Of the
public are entitled to confederation at
the pre..pt time.
The feeling In the community IL not
to pursue the strikers with a yengeful
spirlt, nor to infilct further punish
m.nt upon them. Most OF them have
suffered enough already, and none
realize IL more than Themselves. They
went out, not because they had any
oomplaint against their employers, but
because OF a supposed obligation to
the heads Of n society Of which
th.v were members. Many OF
them did not want 1, strike, and in.
