today and of the creative and settling
periods is that individual ownership
has disappeared. There is no railway
system in the country one-uIlarter of
whose stock is owned by any one in
terest. AIRY management which treats
all its stockholders alike, which is free
from rings or inside arrangements of
anN kind by which a few get rich at
the expense of the rest, will be con
tinued by the stockholders in Office as
long as the returns are satisfactory.
That management must do something
more, however, to remain in power
than have simply satisfactory returns
1t must satisfy the public. and it must
have from its employees that efficient
and healthy service which come only
from their satisfaction with their era
ployment ana devotion to it's interests
When first entered the service of the
New York Central railroad the vast
majority of its stock was owned by one
man and the balance by a few hundred
others. Now there is constituency
of about fifteen thousand: row its
stock and that of the other solvent
railroads is owned by people of mod
crate means and by savings banks and
life Insurance companies whose invest
ments represent the har1 earned saw
ings of the working people.

Then came forward a class of states
men who formulated bills as remark
abla for their ignorance of the situation
as they We're injurious 10 both the
operations Of the road and to the peo~
pie who patronzed It. The greatest
ana most intricate scientific problem
of the age could not be solved by
sweeping measures of restriction or
cOnfiscation prepared by men, however
honest and well-meaning, who could
not possibly comprehend the subject.
The consolidation Of connecting lines
was violently opposed as hostile 10 the
public interest, and the argument
seemed unansWerable, but the enor-

ducton of rates, the Improvement OF

trains and the disappearance of fric-

resulted from the consolidation of the
eleven roads which formerly made the
New York Central, or the half dozen
which formerly made the Lake Shore,
are so universally admitted that a pro-
position to re-dissolve them into the
original lines, and change freight and
passengers at each end as formerly.

all the lines east of Chicago, and stood
before the public as conspicuously in
this relation as any man in the United
States. The disappearance of this feel
ing in New York was noted in 1888,
when, for the first time in the history
of our state politics, ...e delegation in
New York was unanimous for the same
railway president as its candidate for
president of the United States. | re-
tired from that contest because the
delegates from the SO-Called Granger
states told me that the feeling in their
states against railway men in every
branch of the service was so intense
that station agent or a locomotive
engineer or conductor, could not be
elected a trustee of any village on
their lines, and that the nomination of
railway official for president would
disintegrate their party in their states.
| heard one of those delegates make a
speech to rural constituency, i'm
which he argued, without interruption
or objection, that every penny paid by
the people for freight or passenger
travel was tax ana tribute wrung
from them for the benefit of money
sharks in Wall street. The line ON
which he lived nad not paid dividend
to its stockholders in years, and the
money which it earned went mainly
to keeping up its track, its equipment,
its stations, its yards, in other words,
to the labor of his fellow citizens, who,
directly or indirectly, received their
living from this corporation. That
man was elected TO many offices on
this issue, and at the same time earned
his own living as a lawyer by the fees
which he received in trying cases for
the railway companies. Now, it is
such frauds, humbugs and rascaIs that
it is your duty to politically crush.

INTERESTS OF LABOR.

Legislation on railway matters has
become not only of great moment to
the stockholders, but of much greater
to the employees. When unWise laws
injunously affect the operations of a
railroad line the manager at once calls
together the members of all the depart
ments. He says, Under the operations
Of this law our earnings have been cut
doWn-so much. That will prevent our
paying dividends" or if the road is not
paying dividends, THAT will prevent
our meeting the interest on our bonds
and our company will go into the hands
of receiver, Now our official lives
are at stake. If the stockholders are
dissatisfied the directors will turn us
out; if the road goes into the hands If
a receiver, some politician may be ap-
pointed by the court and he will turn
us all out Where can we cut down eX-
penses to meet his loss of net earning?"
The only elastic thing left is labor. OF
course these reductions mean, in the
course of few years, the impairment
OF the line and its equipment, they
mean very much poorer service. The
General superintendent says. Il can
take three or four men a mile off the
track" The superintendent OF Motive
Power says, BY making poorer time
and consolidating trains | think may
lay off twenty per cent. of the trains. :"
The only elastic thing left Is labor. OF
duce the hours in the shop to half time,
cess continues through the yards, and
in every department. A practical and
horrible lesson was given in 1894 when
one hundred thousand men were
dropped off the pay roll. That meant
an incalcuable amount OF misery. Rail-
way employment is a special vocation
The conductor, the locomotive engineer
the fireman. the brakeman and the
switchman cannot readily adapt them
selves TO anything but what is known
as common labor, and for that they are
not fitted.
Now, legislators and public men do
not mean to do injustice, except a few
demagogues The rest are honest
minded TO do what is right. In states
where the railway prejudice exists
they expect a railroad president, or the
railroad manager to be unscrupulous,
and place little confidence in his state
ments, but a committee of the en-
ployes, intelligently understanding the
question, would be listened to at once.
They would be listened to especially IL
the politicians knew that these active
intelligent and efficient workers, as all
railroad men are, in the political oar
ties i'm their several districts meant
business; that they proposed to take

The Tremendous fire that swept
through the mountains near here,
threatened at one time TO destroy
the large new barn, dwelling and oth'
buildings on Dr.. Riddelle's farm on the
river south CT town. BY hard work for
several day and nights, a number 60
ing from Woodstock and Edinburg to
help, the property was saved. A large
amount of timber has been destroyed.
During the fire two Of Or. Riddelle's
horses which had been ridden up to the
mountain ridge and hitched at what was
supposed to be a safe distance from the
fire, became surrounded by the flames.
One Of them broke loose and escaped,
but the other, valuable mare, was so
badly burned before she was rescued
that it is feared she will die.
