' mortified ami corrected by the court that
issued it. The policy of the rullnian
company and the Railway Managers
association in reference to applications
to arbitrate closed the door to all at-
tempts at conciliation nnd settlement of
differences. The commission is impress-
ed with the belief by the evidence and
by the attendant circumstances as dis-
closed that a different policy would have
prevented the loss of life and a great
loss of property and wages occasioned by
the strike.
THE ARRIVAL OF TROOPS.
"The arrival of "the troops at Chicago
was opportune. That policemen sympa-
thized with the strikers rather than with
the corporations cannot be doubted nor
would be surprising to find the same sen-
timent rife among the military. These
forces are largely recruited from the
laboring classes: Indeed the feeling is
growing that in strikes quarrels between
corporations nnd employes niilitary.duty
will have to be done other than with vol-
unteers from labor ranks. United States
deputy marshals to the number of :?(i()0
were selected at the request of the (teil-
eral Managers asociation and its railroads.
They were armed and paid by the rail-
roads and acted in the double capacity of
railway employes and officers of the law.
While operating the railroads they asumed
and exercized unrestricted United States
authority when so ordered by their em-
ployers or whenever they considered it
necessary. They were not under the
direct control of any government official
while exercizing authority. This is plac-
ing otlicers of the government under con-
trol of a c-miliination of rail.'oads. It is
a bad precedent that might lead to serious
consequences.
REMEDIES RECOMMENDED.
The report also recoiiimends first that
there be a perniannt strike commission.
Three members with power of investiga-
tion and recommendations as to disputes
between railroads and their employes
similar to those vested iu the interstate
commerce commission as to rates etc.;
that as in the interstate commerce act
power be given to the United States
courts to compel the railroads to obey
the decision of the commission after
summary hearng unattended by techni-
calities and that no delays in obeying
the decision of the commission be allowed
pending appeals.
That whenever the parlies to a con-
troversy in a matter within the jurisdic-
tion of the commission are one or onire
railroads on one side nnd one or more
trades unions incorporated under chap-
ter 507 of the United States statutes of
188."i-8(i or under states statutes upon
the other each side shall have the right
to select a representative who shall be
apiKiintod by the president to serve as
a temporary member of the commission
in hearing abjusting and determining
that particular controversy.
"This provision would make it for the
interest of the labor organizations to in-
corporate under the law and to make
the commission one of conciliation. It
would also tend to create confidence in
the commission and to give that body in
every hearing the benefit of practical
knowledego of the situation. That
during the pendency of a proceeding he-
fore the commission inaugurated by
national trades unions or by an incorpo-
ration of employes it shall not be lawful
for the railroads to discharge employes
belonging thereto except for inefficiency
violation of law or neglect of duty; nor
for such pendency to order unite in or
aid or abet strikes or boycots against the
railroads complained nor for a period of
six months after a decision for such
except for the causes n'i ns'ii'l; rr f
such employes during a lik1 period 1o
quit service without giving 150 days no-
tice of intent to do so nor ofr any such
union or incorporation to order counsel
or advise other to quit.
"Second That chapter 507 be
an.eiid . so i to r."in.: ' .l ir
unions (o provide in ln-ir arfich-s of in-
corporation and in their constitutions.
rules and by-laws that a member slinil
cease to be such and forfeit all rights and
pdivileges conferred upon him b.v law as
such by participating m or by instigating
force or violence against persons or prop
erly during strikes or boycotts or b.v
seeking to prevent others from working
oy threats ot violence.
'Third The commission docs not feel war-
ruuU'd with t!:c study it has been utile to
give to the subject to recommend positively
the establishment of a license system by
which the higher employes shall be licensed
after due and proper examination lint it
would recommend nnd most urgently that
this subject he carefully mid fully consid-
ered by the proper committee of congress.
.Many railroad employes and some railroad
officials acxunilnvil and many others who
tiled willi their suggestions in wrting are In
favor -of some such system.
'The commission would suggest consid-
eration b.v states of the adoption of concilia-
tion or arbitration like that for insiiince
in Massachusetts. That system night be

come in closed touch with liibor and should
recognize that while the interests of capital
and labor are not Identical they are recip-

ployers everywhere will endeavor to act in
concert with labor that If when wages enn
be raised under economic conditions they
be raised voluntarily; uml that If when
there lire reductions reasons he given for

POPULISTIC PROSPECTS.
Senator Peffer Becomes Communicative
on the Subject.
Washington Xov. 11. Senator Peffer
has arrived from Kansas. Discussing the
result of the recent election lie said the
the Populists hud no reason to feel dis-
couraged. '"What we have lost iu con-
gressmen" he said "we have more than
made up in votes. The reports gener-
ally published would lead people to sup-
pose that we had suffered a material loss
in all respects in Kansas. Such is not. the
case. In 1800 we had about 105(MKI
votes in that state; in 1802 about 11.'5-
000; and in the late election from 12000(1
to 125.0IM). iu the face of the fact that
about 20000 of our voters had left tin-
state on account of drought. We failed
in the election of otlicers because we were
not paired with the Democrats but we
have every reason to be encouraged for
the future. In the country at large 1 feel
confident that when the returns are foot-
ed up they will show our total vote to be a
little less than 2000000 which is about
twice the Populist vote of two years ago."
Asked if he believed Governor Tillman
would co-operate with the Populists if
he should lie elected to the senate Mr.
Peffer replied that he could not say as
Governor Tillman had never outlined his
intention in that respect. lie called at-
tention to the fact that Mr. Irby who
supposedly shares the political views of
Governor Tillman hud remained in the
Democratic ranks. "Still" he added
"the tiui must come when all Democrats
believing as Tillman and Irby do must
ally themselves openly with the Populist
policy. The eastern Democrats ure to all
intents and purposes. Republicans and
Democrats of the Tillniiui-lrhy stripe
cunnot long remain in the siinie party or-
ganization with them."
The senator declined to discuss the
question of the probable organization of
the senate after the 4th of March by
the Republicans with the aid of such Pop-
ulists us like himself hud alliliated with
the Republcan party he Ure they became
Populists further than to say that the
time was too far distant to speculate
upon nnd in n general way to remark
that if the time should mine when the
Populists should hold the balance of
power iu the senate he had no doubt
"they would exercise that power con-
tinuously and wisely."
Senator Stewart of Nevada was less
guarded than Senator Peffer in speaking
of the assumption that certain of the
Populist senators would aid the Republi-
cans in the organization of the senate.
He says cmpliuticnlly Unit so far as he
is concerned he will enter into coalition
with either of the old parties to secure
the organization. "1 do not cure" he
said "which of the old parties control
the machinery of the senate. There is
no advantage to as to be joined by a
combination with either the Republicans
or the Cleveland Democrats. We do
not cure for the few paltry offices there
are to be bestowed. We could not afford
to sacrifice our independence as a party
for them. So far as 1 am personally
concerned 1 do not care whether they
put me on nny committee or what they
do with me as long as I am entitled to
my sent in the senate and get into the
chamber. In fact" he added "growing
emphatic I can raise more hell when
entirely free from such obligations than
when hound by them."
The senator says that he thinks the
Populists will be able to exercise a
more potent influence by keeping en-
tirely aloof from entering inho entnng-
ling alliances with either of the old par-
ties and it is his opinion that this is the
policy which will be pursued by the
Third party in the senate and that he
will advise that this policy be pursued.
He thinks there is no doubt that when
the test comes Senator Jones will lie
found acting in full harmony with the
Populist senators nnd that if Governor
Tillman should he chosen to succeed
Senator Hut lor. he will also lie found in
the Populist column as will also the two
senators to lie chosen from North Caro-
lina. This wviuld give the Populists
eight senators as against 42 Republic-
ans and .'58 Democrats after the 4th of
March.
