Employers Outline Position.
A detailed statement was issued by
the executive committee Of the En-,

Ing at the Union League club during
the early afternoon. 1t outlines the
merchants position as follows:
1--WE knew we had this srike won a
week ago. We knew the people of this
city, backed by public opinion, would
never yield to the contention of the
strikers that the streets were their
private property and that no one could
walk or drive on them without their
pass.
We knew that such principle is
un-American. Slungshots and billies
are what we feared, and we looked tc
the police to protect us. When we
found this protection inefficient and in
adequate we went to Springfield an6

We did not ask him for troops but
asked him If he would send them IL

He said he would do so promptly

Mr.. Barrett is doing his duty like &
Napoleon, and we would not be sur

he cannot do SO he will not be afraid
but will regard it as his duty to say
so. Having said SO. his application tt

THREE RAILROADS REPORT.
The Executive Council at State House
Give Gross Earnings for Last Year.

Des Moines, May 6.-The executive
council at the state house is in receipt
OF the reports of three of the railroads
covering the business done in Iowa
during the year just closed.
These reports indicate no material
increase In the gross earnings. This
is the chief consideration in reaching
an assessm ent of the railroad property
of the state. The reports are filed
with the council as basis for their
valuation.
The three roads which have the dis
tinction Of first filing their reports are
the Rock Island, the Milwaukee and
the Burlington. Cedar Rapids & North
ern. While the latter is owned by the
Rock Island it continues to be operated
separately and files distinct reports.
The Rock Island seems the most
prosperous of these three. It's gross
earnings in Iowa decreased on the
face of the report in the sum of $780,
GIG as compared with last year.
The following are the gross earnings
OF the three roads referred to last year
and this:

In the matter of net earnings the
Milwaukee road, however, shows a
comfortable increase per mile as com
pared with last year. whereas the Rock
Island shows a falling off. while the
Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern
displays an increase. The Milwaukee
jumped from $2,00S per mile to s2,1S7
per mile, while the Burlington. Cedar
Rapids & Northern went from SASS
last year to S55S this year. On the
other hand the Rock Island decreased
from $2,275 to s2,182.
