Some Pretty Plain Talk No Recognition of the Labor Organizations Faithful Men to Be Rewarded Pennsylvania Men Ask for an Advance The Steel-Workers' Scale Labor News. New York, December 29. Austin Corbln, President of the Reading Railroad, plainly defined the position of the company towards Its employes in a letter sent at noon to-day to A. McLeod, General Manager, with instructions to communicate its contents to tbe men. reads as follows: "To such ot our old employes who have stood faithfully by us, we feel obliged and thankful, and shall not forget them but the time has now arrived when all of our employes will be required to choose which ever they expect to retain their plaoes by reason of honest and faithful service and prompt obedience to the orders of the company that em ploys and pays them, or blind obedience to the direction of the Enlgbts of Labor, through which organization the leaders hope to ooerce into tbe employment of men who con- ider their first obedience due to that order.

The men that stand by ns will have employment with reasonable hours and good pay, as much as is paid by any other corporation of a similar character. Men who do not will never be allowed on the road again under any circumstances. We have never objected labor organizations and do not now. Every man snail be free to belong to one or not as be pleases, but the heads of such orders cannot and shall not dictate this company as to whom it shall employ how operate its property.

Hereafter we will operate this property with mployes who consider their first duty is to tbe company and expect to obey reasonable orders made in the transaction of Its business. There has never been a moment when under any circumstances we would arbitrate any question growing out of this strike. There has been nothing to arbitrate. It Is only a question as to whether the company will be permitted to operate property a property in which there is Invested over 000, or whether that property shall be con trolled by tbe Knights of Labor.

It may as well be understood now, and from this time on, that every wheel which Is tnrned on tbe Beading system shall be turned on the orders of that company and under the orders of nobody else. The Steel. Workers' Scale. Pittsburg, December 29. The steel manufacturers are dissatisfied with the new scale of the Amalgamated Association and trouble may resnlt.

Tbe scale should go into effect next Monday, but it is doubtful If it will be accepted by the manufacturers In its present shape. They claim that the scale advances wages nearly 10 per cent in the face of lower prices and a dull market. One manufacturer stated this morning that the wages would bave to be reduced somewhat, or In all probability there would be a strike. "One thing is certain." said he. "and that is that the scale presented by tee Amalgamated will have to be modified or the manutacturers win not accept it." Tbe Amalgamated officials do not seem to be worried over the prospect and confidently express the belief that the manufac turers will sign the scale before the first of the year.

Thev claim tnat there is very little cnange in it irom last year, ana mat it omy equalizes the wages. The Pennsylvania Men. Pittsburg, December 29. A prominent official of tbe Pennsylvania stated to a Chron icle-Telegraph reporter to-day that, while there waa no truth In the rumor of a strike on their system, the men have requested an ad vance in waees. The request came in the nature of a petition, and not as a demand.

He coma not say whether it would do granted or not, but ne felt confident there would be no strike. A conference baa been arranged be tween the railroad officials and their em ployes. when a settlement will probably be effected. CASUALTIES.

AUSTRIA AND EUSS1A NOT MAKING PREPARATIONS FOR WAR. ANY An English Correspondent's Investigation in Galicla Tna Situation Improved En-cvnraging Reports Concerning the German Crown Prince's Condition Two Parisian Journalists Eight a Duel Mar riage of Sara Bernhardt's Son A Fatal Epidemic in Canada. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch.

London, December 29. Much has been said by the papers here about the strained condi tion ot things between Austria and Russia and of the excitement in Galicia. War has been predicted to take place early In the spring by many conservative journals. But a special correspondent of the Chronicle, who has just returned from a thorough investigation of the condition of affairs in Galicia, has made a report which Is anything but alarming. He says: "I have just returned from a week's visit to Galicia, whither I went to assure my.

self by personal observation of the truth of the reports concerning the Austrian and Russian war preparations that have been causing so much alarm during the past few weeks. Speaking briefly. I am bound to say that I saw nothing from one end of Galicia to the other and I traversed the whole of the coun try from west to east and back again to justify the smallest alarm. Moreover, the same was the case, as far as I was able to see, on the other side of the frontier, which I crossed and Inspected for some distance. In the light of Information thus acquired the reports published by the Polish and Vienna papers to the effect that the Russian positions on the frontier have been greatly strengthened, both by men and material, can only be described as gross exaggeration.

I was able to assure myself that there had, at all events, during the past two to three weeks, been no increase In the Russian frontier force. Although I am naturally unable to say what is the state of things at any great distance from the frontier, yet there could be no question of the falsity of the statements that large bodies of Russian troops have been brought close up to THB AUSTRIAN FRONTIER. As for the much-talked of strengthening of the Austrian forces in Galicia, It Is scarcely too much to say that nothing of the kind baa taken place, or if any addition has been made to the Galiclan army, it is of the most inslgnif- eant character. In any case, I should say that there are not more men In Galioia now than there were in the spring of last year. There Is, in short, absolutely nothing to justify the fear that war is imminent or Is being actively pre pared for.

The wooden buts and barracks scattered along the Austrian lines, about which so much has been written, have not apparently been increased since last year. As for the Inhabitants of the frontier districts. they seem to be nnder no apprehensions that warlike operations are imminent, nor did I bear a word containing any menace of It us slan military movements. Altogether, Galicia looks snugly peaceful." The Situation Impreved. Special Cablegram to the Post-Disnatrh.

Beblik, December 29. I am Informed that Gen. Von bchwelnitz, German Ambassador to Russia, has already transmitted to Emperor William from St. Petersburg a most satis factory report concerning the result of his In' quiries into the existing state of relations be tween Austria and Russia. He altogether dls cards the idea ot a rupture between the two countries.

The rumors that have been cur rent during the past day or two about an in surrection having broken out in Poland are now anthoritatively declared to have been mere invention. All things considered the situation may be regarded as much improved THE GRAND OLD MAN. Mr. Gladstone's "78th Birthday Ihe Irish Rent Reductions. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch.

London, December29. Gladstone completes his 78th year to-day, full of vigor and un abated enthusiasm, as shown in his parting ad dress at Dover. There was never more fire and animation in him and bis full rich voice. which is partly the secret of his great in fluence In the House of Commons, still has the fine ring which makes so deep an impression on a great popular audience. Although he leads the minority in the present Parliament, his name has never been more potentthan now in the country, not even at the period of his historic achievements of wholesale re ductions and the abolition of the tariff, or his leadership of the agitation to repeal the taxes on knowledge.

Men like the editor ot the Daily Telegraph, a journal, the profit of which previously was nothing, and now Is over half a million dollars yearly, are apt to forget that Gladstone nsade their fortune by his gallant up-hill fight as Chancellor oi the Exchequer for the abolition of tbe newspaper duties, which made two-cent papers poatible against the combined forces of the Teries and Liberals among the upper classes, and even that of his own leader and Prime Minis ter, Palmerston, who secretly Intrigued with the lords to throw out the scheme. Gratitude however, appears to play little part in politics or the Jews would not mostly oppose Glad stone, one of the foremost men in seeur lng tbe repeal of laws whioh formerly made the Jews pariahs, Incapable of holding the smallest publio office. Gladstone, who re. ferred contemptuously, at Dover, to Sails bnry's account of Irish history, is engaged on a magazine article refuting Salisbury's allege ions In detail, whioh will probably appear in tbe Nineteenth Century. His visit to Italy call forth the strongest expressions of sympathy The Italian press point ont tnat his friendship for Italy dates not fron the period when the country became united and powerful, hat from the dark days when aba was oppressed and divided.

IBS XKISB BXN1 RBDCCTIOFg. At the very moment of Gladstone's- goln away, tbe decision of the Government to abate rents In Ireland affords considerable justifl cation for the policy of Gladstone. Tbe supporters of the Government previously declared that the reductions were sot neees sary, bat dishonest, Th new lolley has fallen like a thunderbolt on the landlords, who openly declare that their friend Salisbury worse than their enemy Gladstone. The effect will be to take abont SS.OOO.IOO yearly from trie pockets of landlords, whotllege that i their real property is nowabioluUhf- a SWORN IN. Albert P.
