LABOR FEDERATION Meeting.
President Gompers's Views ON the
Pullman Strike.

The Executive Council of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor held its regular
quarterly meeting to-day at IA Clinton
place. Samuel Gompers, President; P. j..
Mcguire. Of Philadelphia, and william
Marden, of Boston, Vice-Presldents;
John b Lennon and Chris Evans, Sec
retaries, both of New York. were present.
Accounts wre audited and announced
to be correct, and rdeports showing the
condition Of the Order were read. The
remainder of three hours session was
devoted TO discussions Of the labor situa-
ton. -
President Gompers said in regard to
the late strike:
1T Is a lamentable fact that success
doeC not always attend the right or those
who struggle to achieve 1t. II any doubt
existed as to the truth Of this statement,
the strike at Pullman and the strike OF
the American Railway Union In support
Of i has dispelled that doubt. It Is in.
deed difficult to conceive a cause In
those who were defeated as in the one
under consideration.
When the fact is borne In mind that
Pullman has practically monopoly In
the building Of his cars. Is mot the claim
preposterous that he could not pay fair
wages? Does any one imagine that II
Pullman's statement Of his inability to
pay the wage demanded was true that
he would refuse to arbitrate? No arbi-
traitor would make an award against
him II he could prove his assertions; his
refusal Is the best evidence of his un-
| truthfulness. In truth ont of his own
statements he convicts himself"

morning after enjoying a most thrilling
experience.
The train was just approaching a
split switch, at Kessler, when the en-
gineer noticed that the switch was
turned so as to run the train on the
siding. A big obstruction of ties and
lumber was piled upon the siding few
rods ahead of the engine. The obstruc-
lions did not appear to be impasss BILE
and the engineer put on all steam and
leaped through the pile. passing safely
on to the main track through the split

AS the train passed the obstruction
the engineer noticed a group Of masked

track of all obsta Giles. the would-be high

Claims that Brooklyn Does Not Get
Proper Facilities.

Gen. Benjamin F. Tracy, representing
the Atlantic Avenue Railroad Company
of Brooklyn, and Lawyer william J.
Company. fought an interesting legal
battle before Justice Gaynor. In the
, Supreme Court, Brooklyn, this morning
Gen. Tracy asked the Court to force
Austin Corbin and his associates to the
| specific performance OF a contract made
! by the Long Island Railroad Company
| with the Atlantic Avenue Railroad Com
pany, in 1877. and to practically suspend
| operating their road until the contract
is kept. Gen. Tracy In his argument
said:
"'1n 1877 the Atlantic Avenue Railroad
Company leased for ninety-nine years to
| the Long Island Railroad Company nine
and one half miles of track on Atlantic
| avenue from Flatbush avenue, Brooklyn,
| to Jamaica, the rental at first to be 10
| per cent. on the earnings, and, as the
business increased, to a minimum OF
per cent. The minimum has been reach
| ed and Is now In operation"
| Another provision OF the contract was
| that the Long Island Railroad Company
| should furnish the same facilities and

| OF Jamaica as is enjoyed at the Long
Island City depot. The breach OF this
portion of the contract is the reason foi
