.F|REMEN STRIKE ON
SOUTHERN PACIFIC
400 Men Go Out in Texas and
Louisiana
CAUSED BY THE B. OF L. {.
Brotherhood of Firemen Claim Com
pany Broke Agreement by Allow
ing Engineers to Regulate
List of Switch Engines.
CAUSED BY THE B. OF L, E.

Houston. Tex, December 23.-Pursuant
to an ultimatum issued yesterday by the
authorized officers of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen following reter-
endum vote OF the members of the broth
erhood affected, a strike of the locomo-
tive fremen went into effect this aftey
noon at o'clock on the lines of tSf
Southern Pacific company in Texas sh,G
Louisiana. .SG
About three or four hundred mSS ;
involved in the strike. and the %
which the strike order applies 90 or
gan's Louisiana and Texas, I eria
and Vermillion, the Louisiana CsS Vest
ern, the Texas and New Orle' eS& nd the
Galveston, Harrisburg and ntonio'
These lines extend from New cleans to
El Paso, twenty-eight branches reaching
several important by points in the two
states named.
The trouble has been in incubation ever
since the Southern Pacific company, ac-
cording to the firemen abrogated the
agreement with them several months ago
by signing an agreement with the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers, which
terminated the privilege of the hremen TO
regulate the seniority list of switch en-
gineers, and to represent engineer mem
bers of the firemen's brotherhood on
grievance committees.
A large percentage of firemen becom-
ing engineers maintain their membership
and insurance in the fremens organiza-
ton instead of joining the engineers
brotherhood, and this fact seems to be
at the bottom of the present trouble not
withstanding the specific declaration or
the fremen that their grievance IS
against the company and not against the
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
The full effect of the strike will not be
apparent for several days, and no an
nouncement of the intention of the COM
pany relative to the filling OF the places
of the men who have gone out, has as
yet been made.

AMENDE HONORABLE.

In Tuesdays paper wepublshed reference
to resolution credited to Mr.. B. c. Mosher that
does him great injustice. We have the res
olution with his name signed and took the extra
precaution to call up Clerk c. M. Wise before
crticsing the resolution and asked him who the
author of the resolution was, calling his atten-
ton to the fact that Mr.. Mosher was not at
council meeting when the resolution was adopt
ed. He stated frankly and without equ1voca-
ton that Mr. Mosher was the author OF the res
olution and that he had sent it in. We presume
of course that Mr.. Wise was misled, and it is
our purpose in this article to make it plain that
we took the extra precaution after having the
resolution with Mr.. Mosher's name to 1t in our
possession, of getting a direct statement from
the clerk of the council who furnished us with
the resolution.
We know it is a difficult matter to disabuse
the public mind of impressions made by publ-
cation of the kind referred to, and we regret ex'
tremely that we cannot fully repair the wrong
done Mr.. Mosher, who was absent from the
city and absolutely innocent Of any connection
with the resolution. The r.r:3 forging Mr.
Mcsher's name to the reso1uion is of course
responsible in the first instance, and when we
return to the city we shall endeavor to ascer-
tain where the res possibility lies.
(The above was written late Tuesday
night on the eve Of the EDITORS departure in an
swer to an urgent call, and Clerk C. M. Wise is
accorded the opportunity to explain 10 these
columns his connection with til C error.)

T allest House
On Wall Street
WILL BE NEW ONE NOW IN
COURSE OF ERECTION BY
TRUST COMPANY OF
AMERICA.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2Q.-The tallest
skyscnper in Wall street is now in
process of erection on three city lots,
midway between Broad and William
street, for which $1,s0o.O00. or
$256.40 a foot, was paid. This is said
to be the fourth highest price ever
brought by Wall street land. On this
plot the Trust Company of America
is erecting a 25:story building. This
particular parcel Of land affords some
curious contrasts between ancient and
modern conditions in Wall street real
estate. 1t is. interesting to note. for
example, that there was a time when
the entire plot was sold for $4,000,
current money of New York" to
quote the curious old deeds of that
city, and was considered high at that.
That was in 1772. when Nicholas Bay
ard conveyed it to Philip Livingston
and various other parties, In 1897 the
eastern half of the plot was transfer
red to. William and Mary Chauncy,
and in q century before 1t was finally
sold in partition suit. Since those
early days it has continued to typify
the growth of wall street, each sue
ceeding transfer demanding new
and higher building to produce a rev
enue suaicIent to JUSTIFY the cost of
the land. Given the fair basis for cons
putatlon an expert might estimate.
with fair degree Of accuracy, the
prices which have been paid for

has been necessary to erect II, order
to divide the cost of the land into suf-
flclently small fractions to make each
moor pay a reasonable return OF its
share ot.its cost Of land aud building.
This last 25-story skyscraper marks
the era Of the extremely high, building
in Wall street. Towering as it will
