THE STRIKE INQUIRY
An A. r. u. Official Before the
Federal Commission.
Why THE FIGHT WAS BEGUN
The south Omaha Strikers Thoroughly
Defcated-Gen. Coxey Narrowly
Escapes . Beating.

CHICAGO, Aug. f5-The strike commits
sion appointed by President Cleveland to
investigate the Pullman and railroad
strikes began work today. Vice President
Howard, of the American Railway Union,
was the first witness. He expressed the
hope that the commission would use every
effort to get to the bottom of the matter
under consid Grafton. Commissioner Kerr
nan assured him that the. investigation
would be thorough. "Now." said the
commissioner. "tell rs what, in your opin-
ion, caused the railroad strikes" "The
strikes were caused" answered Howard,
"by the statement of the general managers
that thoy would back up Pullman during
the strike" Howard then entered into
an exhaustive recital of the troubles lead
ing up to the original Pullman strike. The
men had announced their intention of
striking, he said, but on being assured by
the company's officials that the employees
grievances would be investigated. he
urged the men to go back to work. This
they did on the promise of the company
that the committee who had han
died the trouble would not be
discharged or otherwise injured be-
Gauss of the part they had taken.
"After that promise" continued the wit
ness, "they, those committeeman, were
discharged. Then the men struck. Cur
union, after having failed to get any salts
faction from the Pullman company, en-
deavored. by boycotting the company's
cars, to bring matters to q satisfactory
termination. We ordered no strike. We
simply desired the Pullman cars to be left
off the trains. At this point we were met
by the General Managers Association.
They refused to haul mail cars until Pull
mans were attached to the trains. Such
action was entirely uncalled for. Pull
mans were in no wise necessary for the
transmission of the United States mails"
"Was the action of your union In the
strike" asked Commissioners Wright,
merely for the protection of the Pull
man employes?"
mo, not entirely" said Mr.. Howard.
"The general managers had organized
against Us. and We had to protect our
selves"
"You believed that the railroads had on
their side an organization with exactly the
same purposes in view as your union on
your side"
"Yes, sir; that is just what they had"
Were you aware asked Judge Worth
ington, that the railroads had contracts
with the Pullman company"
I'VE were, and we were aware that these
contracts were a violation OF the interstate
law. They allowed the carrying of none
but Pullman sleepers. aud were direct
discrimination against the Wagner cars.
In other words, the railroads were enforc-
ing the sort of boycott on the Wagner cars
that our union desired on the Pullmans. +"
Dir. Howard was closely examined as to
the rules OF the American Railway Union,
and promised to give the commissioners q
copy of the constitution and bylaws of
the union

He Tells How the Tariff Bill Might
Have Been Improved.
SALEx. Or, Aug. 15-Gov. Pennoyer ex-
presses his views of the new tariff bill as
follows:
THE general business OF the country
will not be materially affected by the new
tariff. Like the Mckinley law. IL IL .
tariff measure, and taxes do not enrich
the general public, although 10 the extent
that both measures are protective they
may enrich particular classes. Tariff reg
ulation may somewhat disturb business
and should cease. but no tariff measure
can revive universal prosperity.
'The present industrial prostratton Is
not due TO any tariff or tariff agitation,
but to the lack of sufficient money for the
full transaction of the country's business.
Restore silver as standard money, and all
of our Industries will revive. The new
tariff is great improvement over the Nc
kinney law. and would have been greatly
improved If il had given Us .ree sugar and

A Physician Uses Blackjack on a Den.
tist Who Uses a Knife,

MrFFLINBURa, Feb. 5.-An alterca-
tion between DIR. Oliver Pellman, u
prominent dentist of this place, and
DIR. Nevin Pontius, which occurred
about noon to-day, has given the
gossips of the place plenty to talk
about for some time to come. DIR.
Pontius formerly resided in Mifilin-
burg, but for several years has been
practicing in Colorado. Recently he
returned, aud, it is said, found that
DIR. Pellman had won the affections
of his 6ancee, and his jealousy
prompted him to seek revenge.
To-day DIR. Pontius entered DIR.
Pellmans Office and made an attack
upon him with blackjack, the latter
defending himself with a knife.
When they were separated by friends
1t was found that both had been
badly bruised and cut. DR.. Pellman
later secured the arrest of Pontius,
who was placed under bail for his
appearance at court. All of the par
Ties concerned are highly connected.

Coal Dirt Money Paid.

On Wednesday afternoon the at
torneys for the coal companies paid
to the attorneys representing the
damage claimants. 100000. This
money was paid to those claiments
whose titles were perfect and who
had releases for judgments and
mortgages. Checks were drawn for
$50, 900, which will be paid to the
balance of the claimants as soon as
they present the proper papers. The
$4,000 will be paid to the claimants
on Friday afternoon. All these re-
siding east of Snydertown will be
paid at the law Office of w. w. Ryon,
in Shamokin, and all those west of
Snydertown will receive their money
at the law Office of G. Ii. Wilmer, in
this city.-,Sunbury Daily.
Additions to rented premises,
when made by the tenant, should
never be fastened with nails, but
with screws. The reason for this
lies in the fact that should he wish
to move away and take with him the
boards and other lumber composing
tho improvements he has made he
can simply draw the screws and
take the planks. If he fastens them
with nails however, he can remove
nothing, and the improvements be-
come the landlords property. The
fact results from a legal quibble, in
sisting that articles fastened with
screws are for temporary use and if
put in place by the tenant are his
own property.
