IS
SENT OUT BY
RAILWAY men
Explaining Their Side of the
Trouble over Demand
Higher Wages.

The following is an authorized.
signed statements to the public from
the order OF Railway Conductors
and the brotherhood OF Railroad
Trainmen, published by request.
A circular has been sent out in the
name OF forty-four eastern railways
regarding the unreasonable wage de-
mands of conductors and trainmen.
The statements contained therein
are framed to purposely misIead
those who may come into possession
OF the document. and the facts are.
that instead of extravagant waGee
being demanded, the wage which IS
insisted upon by the eastern con-
ductors and trainmen is exactly the
wage which has been paid for two
and one half years past by every
railway company west OF Chicago and
st. Louis, and a few cents higher
than paid south of the Ohio, and We
contend that it is worth exactly as
much 10 run a train 100 miles east
Of Chicago and St. Louis as it is to
run the said train west or south OF
Chicago and St. Louis.
Comparison of the earning ability
OF the eastern railways per mile with
the earning capacity of the western
railways per mile or with the rail-
ways south of the Ohio river per
mile, will readily determine whether
tho eastern railways are able to pay
the same rate as is paid by the west
ern and southern roads.
AS to the extravagance OF the raee
OF pay, it is admitted by even t-ls

Outrages Are Committed on
Women and Atrocities on
Men in CITY
BY THH BULGARIANs
Rich Merchants Are Dying of
Hunger and Naked Chill
dren are Starving.
az Aaaoelarre go,

sALONa4ll, July 1.-THE sacking
and burning OF the town Of Sores by
by the defeated Bulgarian army and
the accompanying outrages on
women and atrocities on men We're
fully confirmed today In dispatch
from a well known Greek CORE
spondent.
The retreating bulgarian soldier
he telegraphed, opened a cannonade
with four field guns from hill above
the town Friday. AT the same time
bands OF bulgarian soldiers led by
their officers sscourged the streets,
FIRST pillaging the stores and houses
and then drenching them with petr9-
leum and setting them alight until
the greater part Of the town was
blazing. according to the CORE
spondent.
Oflces PlundeEed.
The Austro-Hungarian consular
Offices were Numbered and burned,
the vice conshl, zlapko, being car
ried on by tie mauraders but was
subsequently Fansomed. The ItaliaI
consulate also was sacked but the
consul bought off the incendiaries.
The bank Of Athens, the Oriental
bank, the Palace Of the Metropoli-
tan, the great synagogue, all the
schools. the tobacco warehouses OF
the American-Austria and German
companies and the hospitals were
burned after they had been pillaged.
The American Tobacco Company
alone suffered to the extent Of ST.
100000.
People Are Crucified.
Many people were crucified, hack
ed to pieces and burned alive by the
maddened Bufgarians who COM
mitted incredible oatrages on women
of all ages, many Of whom died OF
the effects. The condition of those
who escaped is lsmentable. Rich
merchants are dying of hunger while
wretched mothers are trying to find
and food for their naked
and starving children The situation
is desperate as all the pharmacies
we're burned, down and there Is a to-
tai lack of medicine for the sick and
bandages for the injured.
The Greek authorities in Salon1ki
are rushing food stuffs. clothing and
medicines to the stricken town.

NO CHANGING
BY RAILWAYS
In Policy as Threats Do Not
Go But Are Willing to
Use Newlands Bill.

NEW YORK, July IL The east
ern railroads Involved in the wage
controversy with the trainmen and
conductors issued a statement this
afternoon through the conference
committee of managers that they
we're willing to arbitrate the ques-
ton at issue under the provision OF
Newlands bill now before Congress
but were still unwilling to proceed
under the Erdman act. This is
the roads reply to the ultimatum
submitted by the unions yesterday.
The statement says that the COM
mittee's policy has never changed,
and that it has consistently refused to
"be coerced through threats of strike
into paying railroad employees wages
out of all proportion to the duties per-
formed" The managers have been
consistent in contending that the
Erdman act does not protect the in
terests OF all parties concerned.
Should the Newlands bill be enacted
into law. the committee will, of
course, be willing to submit to arb1-
tration by board provided in the
Newlands bill are all questions of
rates of pay and working conditions
of conductors and trainmen."

MASS
Meeting of Property Owners
Held to Protest against
Street Grade.

Property owners along Lee street
and other streets south of it held
mass meeting Monday afternoon
with Dudley D. Britt. city engineer.
in the office of Harvey w. Harmer,
attorney, and protested against the
grade now being established at Lee
street and Virginia avenue for street
paving.
Curbing is being laid Cor the paw
ing there and at the corner OF the
property occupied by4 the Rev. II. L.
McClelland the top of the curbing is
four. or FIVE feet below the level OF
the sidewalks This would praCttc-
ally ruin Virginia avenue as
thorougfare by reason of the steep
grade by which it would be ap-
preached and as hundreds of teams
and many residents pass up and
down that avenue daily, the property
owners south of Lee street deemed
the new grade would be a great
hardship.
After considering the situation
fully with Mr.. Britt it was decided to
draft a petition, sign it and present
ii to the city council at its next meet
ing Friday night asking for
change of the grade so as to make
the slope of delivery further west on
Lee street. Mr.. Britt agreed to rec
ommend the measure and to suspend
work on the street until council
acted on the question.
