The old Abe eagle. (White Oaks, Lincoln County, N.M.) 189?-189?, 1894-07-05
THAT A. R. U. BOYCOTT.


nun cation by mail with the outside
world, so that White Oaks in common
with all other communities without tel
egraphic connections has for several
days been i'll the dark as to what is really
going on.
The fact is very palpably impressed
upon the victims OF the prevailing situa-
tion however, that the time has come
when the General Government should
interferfere and put "a vigorous and de-
cisive squelcher on the bosses who are
responsible for this highhanded out
rage against the public. 1t is piece of
bossism pune and simple. Employees
are forced into the conspiracy il their
good judgment and respect for the pub
lie interests would keep them out. 1t is
not likely that the men engaged in this
conspiracy-tor that 8 what II boycott is
IN plain termscan gain anything solid
through it, while the people at lurge are
heavy losers by it. To tolerate such
condition OF affairs is clearly against
public policy, and the Government that
permits it fails in its most important
functlon-the protection of the interests
Of the public. That the employees Of the
Pullman company may have grievance
against their employers is unfortunate,
Out the matter is one of business between
them, and cannot Justify conspiracy
against the business interests and the
proper and usual service of the public,
which is in no wise responsible for any
wong that may exist.
The railrOad employs are not united
i'll the folly OF Debs an his coterie. The
engineers OF the Sa Ia f., he line which
serves this section of the country, disa-
vow any connection with the boycott, as
is shown by the following correspond
