and beyond TWenty-eighth street, were
nearly all ruined BY the ire; the rails
being twisted and warped and the1ties
burned; q they were also covered with
debris OF the burned ears, and It was
about a week after the destruction, OF
until July 80, before the railroad COM
pany were enabled to get their trains
all running regularly again over this
portion of the track.
Although Pittsburg was the principal
scene of difficulty, more or less rioting
and destruction of property also oc-
Cured at Reading, Scranton, Allegheny
City, Altoona, Harrisburg and Phila-
delphia
At Reading, on the evening, Of July
%, as the Fourth Regiment, National
Guard, under command of Gen. Reeder
was marching into the city to take
charge of the military situation, Gen.
Reeder was requested by the railroad
officials to release a train which was in
the hands of the mob composed Of
roughs and ex-employes of the Phila-
delphia and Reading Railroad), and
was standing in a cut between the
Philadelphia and Reading Depot and
the Penn street crossing. AS the regi-
ment marched into the cut. the mob
which lined both sides of it, began
throwing brick-bats and paving stones
down upon the heads of the soldiers,
and finally several pistol-shots were
fired at them, and one soldier fired his
piece in the air. This was followed by
scattering shots and finally by a regu-
lar volley, which was continued until
the troops arrived at the Penn street
crossing. ,.'." ,.1~@aa 81" s.-s.a<s
OF the 253 soldiers only about fifty
escaped being hurt, but none were SER
iously injured. OF the crowd, eleven
were killed and over fifty wounded, two
of the killed and some of the wounded
being mere lookers-on and not engaged
in the riots.
At Scranton the trainrnen struck on
July rs, and were REINFORCED a little
later by the miners and laborers of the
Lackawanna Iron and Coal Company.
On July 81 the trainmen resolved to re-
sumo work.
August 1, during a riotous demonstra-
ton by the miners and laborers, dur
ing which the mob almost killed the
mayor of Scranton, they were fired up
on by the posse of special police, and
three of the ringleaders were killed.
On August 2, the troops arrived and
took charged of affairs at that place,
and remained until quiet was fully re-
stored. -. E> , y
AS to the cause of the riot, the COM
mittee speaks as follows:
The riot grew out of the strike Of the
railroad men, and the strikes them
selves We're the protest of the laborer
against the system by which his wages
were arbitrarily fixed and lowered by
his employer without consultation with
him and without his consent. There
are many other causes that combined
bring about the strikes, but the cause
mentioned underlines the whole ques-
ton, and it is the foundation of all the
trouble.
The immediate cause Of the first
strike which took place in Pennsylvania
in July, 1877. to-wit. that at Pittsburg,
July 10, was the order by the Pennsyl-
tvania Railroad Company to run double
headers from that place to Derry.

still having Its effect on the men to-ss
|gether with the spirit OF independence
and probably recklessness which was
brought about by the organization OF
the Trainmen's Union, with it's general
plan for a strike on the 9th of June,
ard the feeling of uDeasiness and dis
So tisfaction existing among the labor
in,, men of the company generally,
caused by the, want of labor and the
low price thereof as compared with a
few years previous, altogether combip-
ed to set in motion this strike, which
was followed by results so disastrous
as to be forever memorable in the his
tory Of the state, results unforeseen
and unanticipated at the commencey
ment by the actors therein. y
There are no figures obtainable as to
the number of men thrown out of en-
ployment in the aggregate by these
strikes, nor of the total value of prop
erty destroyed, etc.: during the result
ing riots, but the chief of the bureau of
industrial statistics of Pennsylvania, in
mis- report of 1903 makes the follow
ing statement concerning the cost of
the Pittsburg riot: =
The courts have decreed that Allie
gheny county was liable for all losses
sustained during the Pittsburg riots,
the: county officials at once proceeded
to adjust all claims and settle them up
on the most advantageous terms. From
a. statement obtained from the county
comptroller's office, the following.
shows the amount of liabilities, their
adjustment and payment up-to-date:

In conclusion it may be said that en-
ployers who deny the right of their
men to enter into contractual relations
with them in regard to conditions of
employment and rates of pay, and the
citizens who have a grievance against
corporations and are ready to make
reprisals when the occasion offers. are
both still in evidence. II employers do
not .recede from the position they have
wrongfully assumed, viz, that they
have right to name the price on what
they have to buy, or in other words,
dictate the rates of pay and refuse the
men the right to make bargain for the
only thing they have to sell-their la
