Railway Union Upheld In Its Action.
CHICAGO. Nov. iii—The United States
government report on the great railway
strike in connection with the Pullman
trouble was made public. The report,
which is signed by the federal labor com-
missioner. Carroll D. Wright, and his fol-
low investigators. John D. Ksrnsn of
New York and Nicholas It. Worthington
of Illinois, is addressed to President Cleve.
land and abounds in passages which will
attract wide attention. particularly the
portion referring to the now famous Gen-
eral Managers' association, the organiza-
tion of high railway ofilclals that encom-
passed the memorable defeat of the Amer-
ican Railway union.
The report says the capitalization of
the ‘Jl railroads directly represented in
CARROLL n. wmour.
the General Managers' association was
38.108.552.617. The number of employv
ass was 221,097. The report criticises the
acts of this General Managers‘ association
and takes up the details of the trouble at
Pullman at great length. The report
says:
"There is no evidence before the com
mission that the officers of the American
Railway union at any time participated
in or advised intimidation. violence or
destruction of proper . They know and
fully appreciated than. as soon as mobs
ruled the organized forces of society
would crush the mobs and all responsible
for them in the rsmotest degree, and that
this meant defeat. The attacks upon cor-
porations and monopolies by the leaders
in their speeches are similar to those to
be found in the magazines and industrial
works of the day. From their testimony
it is fair to conclude that strikers were
concerned in the outrages against law
and order. although the number was un‘
doubtedly small as compared with the
whole number out. "
.‘Inuupollos Not Controlled.
The report adds. however: "Many in).
partial observers are now reaching the
view that the real responsibility for these
disorders roots with thcpeoplo themselves
and with the government for not ado
quatcly controlling monopolies and cor
porntious nnd for falling reasonably to
protect the rights of labor and redress its
wrongs. Xono asserts that the lows can
completely remedy contentions as to
wages. etc, but mnnydoiusist thntsomc-
thing substantial can be um omplishod in
this direction if attempted honestly. rcn
sonably and in good faith."
In conclusion the report says. "Since
nations have grown to the wisdom of
avoiding disputes by conciliation. why
should cnpital and labor. in their depend
once upon each other. persist in cutting
each othcr's threats as a settlement of
diflorenoes?
“(llllcial reports show that much prog-
ress has been made in the more sane di-
rection of conciliation and arbitration
even in America Abroad they are in ad-
vance of us in this policy. Were our pop-
ulation as dense and opportunities as
limited as abroad, present industrial con.
ditions would keep us much more dis
turbed than we now are by contests be-
tween capital and labor.
“Seine of our courts, however, are still
poring over the law reports of antiquity
in order to construe conspiracy out of la-
bor unions We also have employers who
obstruct progress by perusing and pervert-
ing and misapplying the law of supply
Fond demand, and who. while insisting
upon individualism for workmen, demand
that they shall be let Mono to combine as
they please, and that society and all its
forces shall protect them in their result-
ing conditions.
“The rapid concentration of power and
wealth under stimulating legislative con-
ditions in persons. corporations and mo
nopolies has changed the business and in
dustriol situation. Our railroads Were
chartered upon the theory that their com-
petition would amply protect shippers as
to rates, etc, and eniployoos as to wages
and other conditions.
The Government Ownership Question.
“Combination has largely destroyed
this theory and has seriously disturbed
the natural Working of thclaws of supply
and demand. which in theory are based
upon competition for labor between those
who dcmand it as well as among those
who supply it. For instance, as we have
shown, there is no longer any competitive
demand among the 24 railroads at Chive.
go for switehniau. They have ceased com-
psting with each other. There are no
longer ill separate and competing em-
ployers. They are virtually one.
"However men may differ about the
propriety and legality of labor unions. we
must all recognize the fact that we have
them with us to stay and to grow more
numerous and powerful. ls it not who».
to fully recognize them by law; to admit
their necessity as labor guides and pro»
teeters; to conserve their usefulness, in-
crease their responsibility and to prevent
their follies by conferring upon them the
privileges enjoyed by corporations with
like proper restrictions and regulations?
“The growth of corporate power and
wealth has been the marvel of the past
to years. Corporations have undoubted
ly benefited the country and brought its
resources to our doors. It will not be
surprising if the marvel of the can so

ship of waterworks. gas and electric
lighting snd street railways These ques-
tions srs pressing more urgently as time
goes on. They need to bowel] studied and
considered in every salient by all citizens. "
' Some Recommendations.
The commission therefore recommends:
“First—That there be a permanent
United States strike commission. with
duties and powers of investigation and
recommendation as to disputes between
railroads and their employees similar to
those vested in the interstate commerce
commission as to rates. etc.
"A—That, as in the interstate oom-
mercc not, power be given to the United
States courts to compel railroads to obey
the decisions of the commission after.
summary hearing, unattended by techni.
calities. and that no delays in obeying
the decisions of the commission be allow-
ed pending appeals.
“ B—That whenever the parties to con
trovcrsy in a matter within the jurisdic-
tion of the commission are one or are
railroads on one side and one or ore
national trade unions, incorporated under
chapter 567 of the United States statutes
of 188558 or under state statutes. upon
the other, each side shall have the right to
select a’ representative. who shall be ap-
pointed by the presldent, to serve as a
temporary member of the commission in
bearing, adjusting and determining that
particular controversy.
“This provision would make it for the
Interest of labor organizations to incor-
porate under the law and to make the
commission a practical board of concilia-
tion. It Would also tend to create confl-
donce in the commission and to give to
that body in every hearing the benefit of
practical knowledge of the situation on
both sides—i. c., that during the modem
cy of a proceeding before the commission
inaugurated by national trade unions or
by an incorporation of employees it shall
not be lawful for the railroads to dis
charge employees belonging thereto ex-
cept for ineiliciency. violation of law or
neglect of duty. nor for such unions dur-
ing such pendcncy to order. unite in or
aid or shot strikes or boycotts against
that railroad complained of, nor for a pa:
rind of six months after a decision for
such railroads to discharge any such em-
ployees in whose places others shall be
employed except for the causes aforesaid,
nor for any such employees during alike
period to quit the service without giving
80 days' written notice of intention to do
so. nor for any such union or incorpora-
tion' to order. counsel or advise otherwise.
"Second—-’l'hat chapter .367 of the Unit
ed States statutes of HHS-rill be amended
so as to require national trade unions to
provide in their articles of incorporation
and in their constitution rules and by-
laws that a member shall cease to be such
and forfeit all rights and privileges con-
ferred on him by law as such by particl-
patlng in or by lnstigoling force or vio-
lenco against persons or property during
strikes or boycotts. or by seeking to pre-
vent others from working through vio-
lence. threats or intimidation; also that
members shall be no more personally lla-
bis for corporate nets than are siockhold»
ore of corporations.
is. \rbltraih-u bran-m.
“Think-Tho commission does not feel
warranted. with the study it has been able
to give to the subject. to recommend posiv
tivoly the establishment of a license sys-
tem by which all the higher employees or
others of railroads engaged in interstate
commerce shall be licensed after due and
proper examination. but it would rcconr
mend—mud most urgcritiy'——tlint the sub
jcct be carefully and fully considered by
the proper committee of congress
“ New York railroad employees and
some railroad olllclals and many others
who filed their suggestions in writing are
in favor of such a system
"The commission would suggest the
consideration by the states of the adop‘
tion of some system of conciliation and
arbitration like that. for instance. in
Massachusetts. That system might be re-
cnforccd by additional provisions giving
the board of arbitration more power to .
investigate all strikes. whether requested l
to do so or not. and the question might
be considered as to giving labor organi-
zations a standing before the law as here-
tofore suggested for national trade on
ions. Contracts requiring man to agree
not to join labor organizations nor to
leave them as conditions of employment
should be made illegal, as is already done
in Imus of our states.
"The commission urges employers to,
recognize labor organizations: that such
organizations be dealt with through rep«
rcscntutivos. with special reference to
conciliation and arbitration when dililv
culties are threatened or arise. It is sut-
isiled that employers should come in
closer touch with labor and should recogr
also that while interests of capital and
labor are not identical they are reciprocal.
“The commission is satisfied that if
employers everywhere endeavor to not in
concert with labor: that if when wages
can be raised under economic conditions
they be raised voluntarily. and that if
when there are reductions reasons be
given for the reduction. much friction
can be averted. it is also satisfied that
if employers will consider employees as
thoroughly essential to industrial success
as capital. and time take labor Into ccn~
sultatlon at proper times, much of the
severity of strikes can be tempered and
their number reduced."

fin/«ca, N. Y., Nov, i:l.——’I'he Cornell
athletic council held a protracted session
in the university gymnasium discussing
the advisability of sending a crew to Eng
land next June to compete in the licnley
regatta. After considering all the cir-
cumstances the council voted unanimous-
ly to send a crew. This action will ne-
osssltate an entire change in the mode of
training, as the Englishmen row over a
mile and a half course. while Cornell has
been accustomed to racing four miles.
Another decision of importance that
was arrived at by the council was that
next year two varsity crews Would be put
in training—cue to go to England tocon-
test in the Iienlcy regatta, the other with
the University of Pennsylvania onrsmen.
The interest in aquatic circles here is very
great. Already about 20 men here an-
nounced their intention of training for
the varsity sights.
