AGAINST RAILROADS.
Workmen Bring Suits Aggregating
Several Millions of Dollars.
They Claim Railroads Have Biacklisted Them
on Account OF "a Affair.

Chicago, June PA morning news
paper says: Several thousand rail-
road workmen in Chicago and through
out the United States think the gem
eral managers of railroads of Chicago
and elsewhere are guilty of a con-
spiracy to deprive them of opportuni-
ties to work. Eighty of these men
have made atfidavits and turned evil
dence in their possession into Inc
hands of Carlisle & Strong, attorneys
Next Wednesday, suits aggregating
hundreds of thousands of dollars for
damages will be filed by that firm in
the circuit and superior courts against
almost every railway corporation hav-
ing terminals or offices in Chicago.
listed by the railroads on account of
their connection with the American
Railway Union strike of 1894, and their
failure to secure employment under
their own names after telling the
truth concerning their acts and occu-
patton at the time of the great boy
colt. they consider evidence of black
listing. In most cases the first road
named will be charged with the act of
blacklisting, and the others are con-
sidered accessories to the act on ac-
count of refusal made to give employ
ment without adequate reason, and in
many instances the refusal to employ
Will be used as evidence to prove
blacklisting conspiracy between the
roads.
An important legal case having a
bearing on the strikes of 1894, was de-
cided at Vincennes, Ind, Saturday.
The case was that of Drummond vs.
the Evansville & Terre Haute Rail-
road Co. Drummond claimed that the
railroad company discharged him in
the Debs strike in July. 1894, on the
false charge that he was active in the
strike, and that the railroad company
kept him from getting employment
from any other company. The jury
returned a verdict for Drummond for
$500. but the court granted the de-
PENDANT a new trial.
The court decided that the cele. |
brated blacklisting law, about which |
so much fuss has been made, gives no /
new rights at all, but only provides
penalties for wrongfully preventing
an employee from getting work when |
he has been discharged without some /
good cause. The court has decided |
that the striker has not been so cared |
for that he may quit work and be pro-
tected by preventing the fact from be-
ing exposed. The court held there |
was no evidence at all to support the |
verdict and set it aside.

My own views on the subject are

stated. Believing the issue to be of the
gravest importance, not only to the
country. but to the present and future
of the Democratic party, / cannot re-
main inactive if it is thought l can be
of any service at Chicago.

can L take part in this fight embar-
raised by any personal interest in the
result. l shall, therefore. decline to
have my name presented to the con-
vention as a candidate. l believe in
making the stoutest fight possible for
sound money and the gold standard
and shall not give up the fight until
the votes are counted
Il consider it both duty and a priv
ilege to take part in this struggle and
L shall do it with my whole heart. un-
embarrassed by any personal consid-
erations and in the earnest hope and
belief that the Democratic convention
will be sound both in it's platform and
its candidates"

DC ushered in with a zip bing- bang
boom-crash from the bells, the cannon
the musket and the fire cracker. At S
o'clock will come the fantastic parade,
to be followed at 10 O'Clock by the race
