Being certain that Adolph Wilcox

Rev. Reed says that some time in
January, Wilcox appeared at his

he claimed to have a wife and five
children. He told the preacher

A trifling difficulty, which tempo
rerily embarasses the progress Of the
Erie transfer, occurred this morning
when three gangs Of eight men each.
were allowed to quit work.
BY reason of the great scarcity OF
American labor, the Erie has been
compelled to employ seven gangs Of
Italian laborers on the freight plat
forms. Realizing the resentment OF
most American workingmen toward
the sons Of Sunny Italy, the manage
ment has pursued the very excellent
policy of keeping the two national
ties separated. The seven italian
gangs have been kept at work on the
north platform Ioading east bound
freight, and the Americans on the
south platform handling all west
bound shipments.
This morning, all west bound
trains were late and the result was
that the American gang ran out Of
work, there being no cars at hand
at the moment for them to load. On
the other hand, there was 2 con-
gestion Of business on the north
platform, where east bound stuff was
being loaded and naturally the idle
men were asked to go over and work
on the north platform. MIR. Strong,
In charge Of the transfer work states
that the Americans, were not asked
to work in the same|ca as the Ital-
ians, nor could the request in any
manner be construed into a lowering
o; the American laborers' dignity;
they were simply asked to work on
the same platform. but independently
of the foreigners rs r.
But this they refused to do. Three
gangs numbering "a men absolutely
refused to work on the same plat
form with the foreigners, and as
there was nothing else for the men
to do on their own platform, they
were allowed to quit. This condi-
tion resulted in wild story that a
big strike had occurred. Mr.. Strong
assures the Mirror that this state
ment Is wide of the mark: that the
dissatisfied Americans simply quit
rother than work on the north plat
form and there isn't q particle Of
feeling on either side. He regrets
the occurrence exceedingly, and ex-
plains that the only cause for the
employment Of foreigners is the fact
that 1t is absolutely impossible to
get Americans.
Eight gangs Of Americans of eight
men each refused to follow the lead
o. the men who quit, and are pursu-
Ing their work as though nothing
had occurred.

March a. It provides that railroad
employees shall not work more than
eixteen hours in any twenty-four
thatSin day. and might telegraph
offices operators shnh NOT work
mote than nine Ssours. sin twenty
four, and where day offices only
are maintained not more than thir-
teen hours. The law provides that
for; every violation a fine Of $500
shall be imposed.
Compliance with the law by rail-
roads entering Cleveland will mean
a readiustment of hours among
telegraph operators. In day and
night offices, where only one man
at time is required, there are
but two men to divide the twenty
four hours, making practically q
twelve-hour day for each. This is
somewhat reduced by leaves of alb
sence, sometimes OF an hours du-
ration.
In such cases, under the new
law. the railroads will have either
to put three men at these stations
or pay the two men overtime, the
law making the latter arrangement
optional with the operators.
"That would be an increase in
wages of 25 per cent. for such
operators unless we supplied the
extra man., said Mr.. ingalls,.
"It doesn't seem reasonable that
the government should force the
roads to such action. /" Mr.. In
gals spoke of procuring copy
of the law. :
"We aim to comply with all
laws" he said. "In this case,
don't know just what we will do
first. -

Of the Nickel Plate, said:

tions. 1t is question Just what
to do, but we shall comply with
the law. There will probably be a
meeting of officials to take up
the matter" F"
j. T. johnson superintendent
of the Baltimore & Ohio said:
eff the law is enforced, we will
have to comply with it. If it is
optional with the men to work
overtime that may solve the prob
lem. In any event the roads will
have to pay more money!.
The roads are at present liable
to the fine stipulated by the new
law. AT the United States district
attorneys office it was said that
the securing of evidence was the
duty of the department of com.
merce and labor. The department
will probably send inspectors out
alt once to discover If the law
Is being violated.
These inspectors will report to
