GEE HINGS REJOICE.
The Japs on Their Way to PekiR and
the Chinese Are Badly
DemOraliZed.

Shanghai, Sept. 29.-It is rumored here
that the Japanese have effected landing
on the coast of Shanghai at Lung prom
ontory to the northward of Che Foo.
Advices from Pekin say that there is an
ever increasing anxiety among the for
eign population there; and at Tien Tsin
the foreigners are actively organizing
for the defense of the foreign quarters.
RESERVES CALLED OUT.
Yokohama.-Th reserves of the ma
tional guard have been called out for
active service.
chinese war ship reported ashore in
the gulf of Tair En- Wan is believed to be
the Kwang Kai. The Chinese crew on
board, when the Japanese cruiser ap-
preached, set fire to the ship and escaped
ashore.
NEW vERsION<OF THE NATTER.
Chicago. = Chicago Chinatown was
astir to-day over the news of the rebel
lion of troops in China. Sam Moy, the
local mandarin, said: SIT means the be-
ginning of the end. We Cinnamon wish
to see China win, but more than that we
wish our own emperor back in his place
where usurper now reigns. For years
the Gee Hings' have been growing in
power and to-day they have generals and
officers in command of the army.
The sole object of the Gee Hing
society is to overthrow the pres
ent emperor and restore the old dy-
nasty. It is also secret society
with millions of members in China and
at least 300 in Chicago. The emperor
has offered $1,000 reward for the head of
every Gee Hing but there is not enough
money in China's treasury to pay for the
heads. The war with Japan will not last
much longer for the Gee Hings' will
soon be strong enough to dethrone the
emperor now ruling in China"

RnNrs WE'RE mon, WAGES Low
The Pullman Company's Idea of How to
Reduce Expenses.

Reduce Expenses.
IF we exclude the aesthetic and san
itary features at Pullman, the rents
there are from 20 to 25 per cent higher
than rents in Chicago or surrounding
towns for similar accommodations
The companys claim that workmen can
live elsewhere if they choose, is not
entirely tenable. The fear of losing
work keeps them in Pullman as long as
there are tenements unoccupied, be-
cause the company is supposed as a
matter of business to give preference
to its tenants when work is slack.
While reducing wages, the company
made no reduction in rents. It's posi-
ton is that the two matters are distinct
and that none of the reasons urged
as justifying wage reduction by it as
an employer can be considered by the
company as landlord.
1.-THE company claims that it is
simply legitimate business to use its
position and resources to hire in the
labor market as cheaply as possible
and at the same time keep the rents up
regardless of what wages are paid its
tenants; to avail itself to the fun ex-
tent of business depression and COM
petition in the reduction of wages and
to disregard those same conditions as
to rents. No valid reason is assigned
for this position except simply that
the company had the power and legal
right to do it.
WORKMEN'S DEMANDS JUST.
"The reductions at Pullman after
September 1, 1898, were the result of
conferences among the managers; the
employees for the first time knew of
them when they took effect.
1.-THE purpose of the management was
obviously to rest the whole matter up
on the cost. etc. in it's most seriously
crippled department excluding from
consideration the facts as to wages in
the repair department.
1.-THE demand of the employees for their
wages of June, 1898, was clearly justi-
fable. The business in May, 1894, could
not pay the wages of June, 1898. The
reduction was carried to excess, but
the company was hardly more at fault
therein than were the employees in in
sisting upon the wages of June, 1898
There was little discussion as to
rents, the company maintaining that
rents had nothing to do with the wa
ges. The company had legal right to
take this position, but as between man
and man, the demand for rent reduction
was fair and reasonable. under all cir
cumstances,

EXERCISED POWER NOT GRANTED
The Association Severely Censured for
Its Action.

The Association Severely Censured for
Its Action.
"The commission questions whether
any legal authority, statutory or other
wise can be found to justify some of
the features OF the association, which
have come to light in this investiga-
ton. If we regard it's practical work
ings rather than it's profession as eX-
pressed in its constitution, the General
Managers Association has no more
standing in law than the old trunk
line pool. 1t can not incorporate be-
cause the railroad charters do not au-
thorize roads to form corporations or
associations to fix rates for services
and wages. nor to force their accept
ance, nor to battle with strikers. 1t
is usurpation of power not granted.
If such an association is necessary
from a business or economic standpoint,
the right to form and maintain 1t must
come from the state that granted Its
charter. In theory. corporations are
limited to powers granted either di-
rectly or by clear inference. We do not
think the power has been granted in
either way in this case. The associa-
ton is an illustration of a persistent
and shrewdly disguised plan of the
corporations to overreach their limita-
tons and to usurp indirectly powers and
rights not contemplated in their char
ters and not obtainable from the peo-
pie or their legislatures. An extension
of this association as above suggested
and proposed legalization of pooling
would result in an aggregation of power
and capital dangerous to the people
and their liberties as well as to their
employees and their rights. The ques-
ton would then certainly arise as to
which shall control, the governments or
the railroads, and in the end would in
evitably be government ownership. I'm
less ready for that result and all that
it implies, the government must re-
strain corporations within their lawful
rights and prevent them from forming
unlawful and dangerous combinations.
At least, SO long as railroads are thus
to combine to fix wages and
Tor their joint protection, 1t would be
'ank injustice to deny the right of all

THE REMEDY.


1.-THE commission recommends that
there will be permanent United States
strike commission of three members.
with duties and powers of investigation
and recommendation as to disputes be-
tween railways and their employees,
similar to those invested in the inter-
state commerce commission as to rates,
etc. That as in Interstate commerce,
power be given to United States courts
to compel railways to obey the decis-
ions Of the commission and that no
delays in obeying the decisions of the
commission be allowed pending appeals.
That whenever the parties to a con-
troversy in a matter within the jurisdic-
ton of the commission are one or more
railroads on one side and one or more
national trade unions incorporated un
der charter 567 of the United States
statutes of 1SS5-S6 or interstate statutes
each shall have the right to select
representative, who shall be appoint
ed by the president to serve as a tempo
rary member of the commission in
hearing, adjusting and determining
that particular controversy.
"That during the tendency of pro-
ceedings before the commission inaug-
-fated by national trade unions or by
an Incorporation of employees it shall
not be lawful for railroads to discharge
employees belonging thereto except foi
inefficiency, violation of law or neg
lect of duty; nor for such unions during
the tendency to order. unite. aid or
abet strikes or boycotts against the rail-
ways complained of, nor for such rail-
roads to discharge any such employees
in whose place others shall be employed,
except for the causes aforesaid; nor
for any such employees during a like
period to quit the service without Civ
ing 80 days written notice of intention
to do so. That the statutes of 1886
be amended so as to require national
trade unions to provide in their arti-
cles of Incorporation that members
| shall cease to be such and forfeit all
rights and privileges conferred on him
by law as such by participating in or
! by insagaing for force or violence.
1.-THE commission would suggest con
sideration by states of the adoption Of
some system of Cancellation and arbl-
tration like that, for instance, in Mass
achusetts. Contracts requiring men not
| to join labor organizations. or to leave
them as conditions of employment,
should be made illegal, as is already
done in some of our states. The COM
mission urges employers to recognize
labor organizations, that such organic
atoms be dealt with through represen-
tatives with special reference to con
Citation and arbitration when Difficult
ties are threatened or arise.
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1894-11-22

professedly to guard 1t from destruc-
ton or interference 1t is in evidence
and uncontradicted, that no violence or
destruction of property by strikers or
sympathizers took place at Pullman
and that until July no extraordinary
protection was had from the police or
military against even anticipated dis
order. Such dignified, manly and con-
sentative conduct in the midst of ex-
element and threatened starvation is
worthy of the highest type of American
citizenship, and, with like prudence in
all other directions, win result. in due
time, in a lawful and orderly redress Of
labor wrongs. To deny this is to for
swear patriotism, and to declare this
government and its people failure"

Government to Blame for Failing to pro.
tcct Labor.

The report adds: MANY impartial
observers are reaching the view that
much of the real responsibility for these
disorders rests with the people them
selves and with the government for
not adequately controlling monopolies
and corporations and for failing reason
ably to protect the rights of labor and
redress it's wrongs"
In conclusion, the report says; Since
nations have grown to the wisdom of
avoiding disputes by Cancellation and
settling by arbitration, why should
capital and labor in their dependence
upon each other persist in cutting each
others throats as a settlement of diff
ferences? Our railroads were con-
structed upon the theory that their
competition would amply protect ship
pers as to rates. ETC.. and employees
as to wages. The combination has
largely destroyed this theory and seri-
ously disturbed the natural working of

government. The government will not
have to pay a cent more than per cent
for the money. In my opinion no sub
scription will be received, the maker of

Tnn GREAT nAILNoAY srnIK :
Its Inception and the Manner in Which
Ii Was Handled.

Its Inception and the Manner in Which
Ii Was Handled
AS to the great railroad strike proper.
the report says: 1T is apparent that the
readiness to strike sympathetically was
promoted by the disturbed and appre-
hensive condition of railroad employees,
resulting from wage reductions on diff
ferent lines, blacklisting, ETC., and from
the recent growth of the General Man
ayers Association, which seemed to
them a menace"
Further on the report says: ut is
seriously questioned whether the courts
have jurisdiction to enjOin citizens from
persuading' each other i'm Industrial or
other matters of common interest. The
policy of both the Pullman company
and the General Managers Association
in reference to applications to arbitrate
closed the door to all attempts at con-
ciliation and settlement of the differ
ences. The commission is impressed
with the belief, by evidence, that diff
ferent policy would have prevented
loss of life and great loss of property
and wages occasioned by the strike"
TROOPS WE'RE NECESSARY.
The report declares that, the arrival
of troops at Chicago was opportune,
and says that policemen sympathized
with the strikers rather than with the
corporations, This cannot be doubted,
nor would it be surprising to find the
same sentiment rife among the militia
ry. These forces are largely recruited
from the laboring classes. Indeed, the
danger is growing that in strike wars
between corporation and employees, mil
itary duty will ultimately have to be
done by others than volunteers from la
Dor ranks.
SET A BAD PRECEDENT.
"The United States deputy marshals
to the number of 5000 We're selected by
and appointed at the request of the
General Managers Association. They
were armed and paid by the railroads
and acted in the double capacity of
railroad employees and United States
officers. While operating railroads they
assumed and exercised unrestricted
United States authority when so or
dered by their employers. or when
ever they regarded it as necessary,
They were not under direct control
of any government official while eXcr-
cising authority. This is placing the
officers of the government under the
control of combination of railroads.
1t is bad precedent that might well
lead to serious consequences.
LEGAL CALL FOR TROOPS.
The commission briefly disposes cf the
matter of the use of federal troops.
After quoting section foul, article Nv
of the federal constitution. Jhe report
says "rhe United States troops were
not sent into Illinois upon the apnlica-
| ton of the legislature nor of the exec
utive. against domestic violence. The
| president ordered the troops to Chi

courts. He did this under thc authority

| of the United States, providing against
assemblages of persons in rebellion

States. other statutes tend to confer
authority in the same direction.

CORPORATE POWERS GROWTH.

"The growth OF corporate power and
wealth has been marvel of the past
five years. The corporations have un-
doubtedly benefited the country and
brought it's resources to our doors. 1t
will not be surprising If the marvel of
the next so years will be the advance
ment of labor to position of like pow
er and responsibility. We have hereto
fore encouraged one and neglected the
other. Does not wisdom demand that
each be encouraged to prosper legiti-
mately and to grow into harmonious
relations of equal standing and re-
sponsbility before the law? This in
wolves nothing hostile to the true inter
ests and rights of either. The com
mission considers the recommendations
of specific remedies premature. Should
continued combinations and consolida-
lions result in half a dozen or less own
erships of our railroads within a few
years, as is by no means unlikely. the
questions of government ownership
would be forced to the front and we
need to be ready to dispose of 1t in

Of railroad employees was never attempt

enlisting the men upon the different

scope or capacity for good or evil as is
possible under the universal combina-
ton idea inaugUrated by the railroads

deal with such combination of labor

arrogant and absurd when we consider
its standing before the law it's assump-
