TOIJ-JWDERLY. OOKRESPONOENCE THE PROPOSED RELATING TO CONFERENCE. Mr. Pvwderlr in Befcrs of Old J'ulUifu Kmiilo.vfts, ml Says tlit, No Fear of an tlvtt Vice I'rcsldeut Sows or the Strike. NEW YOBK, Aug.

19. --Vice President Wtbb last night made public the corre Mr. Powderlyand i Mr. Powderly, on Saturday, wrote Mr. Webb stating that he expected bj Monday to have completed his inquiry into the causes of the strike, and he would be glad if an interview could he arranged tor Monday morning bftm-en 10 and He desired to discuss the ques tion of arbitration of the differences be tween the company and its K.

of em- ployes who were disc barged prior to Aug. 8. Vice President Webb replied, agreeing to the interview, but suggesting a as the reports of interviews already had be tween himself aud Messrs, Holland, Hayes and Donovan on tlie same subject had been greatly misrepresented, it would be for tbe interest of nil concerned if tbe matter which Mr. Powderly wished to present were put in writing. On Sunday Mr.

Powderly wrote Sir. Webb that be was called away from the etty and -was therefore obliged to commit lo paper what be would rather discuss personally. He was informed that old and faithful employes hud been surnniar- ily dismissed because they tvere members of and active in the of that up to the time of their discharge they were faithful employes, with good records. The frequency of dismissals left little room for doubt in the minds of the men that they were all in danger of discharge at a moment's notice, hence the strike. The whole question hinges upon tbe discharge of K.

of L. men because they tire such. If it be bhown that these men were working injury to their employers, right minded men will say they are treated as tbep deserve. If they were discharged lor cause, the company has everything to gain and notning to lose from an investigation. If they deserved dismissal from the none of us will ask for their reinstatement.

If, however, they were displaced because of Iheir connection i the Knights of Labor it should bo known, for if it in to lie the policy of the company that members of the K. L. axe be employed then a statement to that, will clear ui all doubts and there can be no future There be nothinsihen to arbitrate so iong jw yon hold that opinion. The interests Of the public aud of the company, and tbe rights of men to organize for -SL-ll-preitec- tion, are all involved in tins content. Tbe policy of the K.

of is to work peacefully in the line of educational and legislative reform. It is nut tlitm- jiolicy to hastily upon strikes. Tbe juvbciit may he pointed ro in refutation of this assertion, hut until an investigation is had that must remain a disputed question. Tbe interests of the public requires ttiat freight and passeutrer traffic sbould work smoothly; the interests of the company exactly llie same thing and addition that such traffic prove re- innnerative; tbe interests of working people are the same as the others, but their fight to organize and select the organization they wish to belong to is to them as their pecuniary interests can possibly be. Here is an organization, the aim of which is to work for educational and legisjatjve advantages, called upon to defC-nd its members who, up to their dismissal had worked and legislativedircc- Surely we have a right to question why they were discharged.

Each man, iio matter how humble, is as much a part the public as r.ny other man. True, the Jfew York Central Railroad company is tributary to the comfort and well-being of the community, but the community gives to the corporation in question iis strength And wealth, aud of that community at least two-thirds are working people, belong to that same element of society a dare jaot organize for their own welfare. Some tfne has said since this strike begun. "money is not everything in this world." He was a railroad director, I think. lie Bpoke truly, for liberty is far dearer to the laborer, and that is what he struggles for; that is what is denied him when he is discharged for being a K.

of If liberty was only valued so highly that men offered up life and treasure and sacred honor to gain it, surely their children should not be blamed for It Whether they struck wisely this case is yet to be determined. Who is to determine? You may feel that yon are right, the men may feel that they are right; both are partisans, and if an impartial verdict is to lie reached, impartial jpen must arrive at it by hearing both rides and then judging. The men are willing to submit the case to such arbitration, and will not be unreasonable. Will you consent, to do the same. Jf you will agree to submit this matter to arbitration we can meet to arrange the details and agree how the parties are to be selected.

Tbe newspapers report you as refusing to admit that arbitration can enter into the settlement ot the trouble, buc your latter leads me to lelieve that you were misquoted, and I still hope for a speedy termination of the strike through arbitration. I will retutn to tbe city as soon as I can meet ray engagements, and if you will kindly address me at St. Cloud hotel it Will be carefully attended to and placed before me on my return. I remain, yours truly, V. 0.

The men engaged by the road are incompetent and over lifty of than have left work claiming that they were brought here through misrepresent at iou.

Furthermore the road is to-day running empty cars backward and forward through the city so as to give the impression that they are trafliciug. Tlie cars that were moved out of West Albany in the afternoon only few miles and were then doued. Among those at the Knights of Labor headquarters yesterday was a man who said he was brought here from Chicago through misrepresentations by the railroad company. He was with twenty-live other nen, none of whom except himself dared cross the river for fear of having theii leads broken. lie decided to make a statement and then get out of the city as soon as he could, even if he had to wnlk.

Some of them md been bulldozed into going to work and were on the switches. Finally the men were induced to quit vorlc. The ineu last nisht held a rousiuy imss meeting and the firemen held session at East Albany. It is said 1 hat the latter decided to strike to-day. I Division Superintendent Bissell was.

euulast utght by a United Press reporter when asked bow tlie road was ng, he said; "Passenger tntins are rnu ing on strict time, and the freight block ide is being rapidly broken.

Eissell said: "We have hired Mr.

Pinkeriou and his men to guard the property oC the road and the lives of the emploves. We have left the matter in his hands as an experienced mau, but we certainly do HOD countenance the use of firearms, except in extreme cases, where self-protection demands it. When Chief Willard notified me that citizens' Jives were endangered by the use of firearms, I sent for Mr. Pinkerton, aud in answer to my demands for an explanation he handed me hb report, which I enclosed in a letter to Chief Willard. He assures me his men are unanimous in asserting that they did not lire until stoned by tlieinob." At this j'uneutre of the conversation Ciipt Eobert Pinkerton entered the office.

He said: "I have examined all my men and they are all positive in the assertion that they did not fire until they were stoned and, in some cases, shot at." But Mr. Pinkerton." said the United Press reporter, '-I personally saw your men fire trom a train into an inoffensive crowd and without the least provocation. Not a btoue was thrown and uo insult; offered," LOU saw thiflr" asked the detective, and then went on to question the reporter us to the occurrence, men are in- slrucied not to fire unless attacked and 1 have their assurance they did cor.

Despite the encouraging outlook for ihe road, however, the striking Knights of Labor say that they are in receipt ot favorable reports from all along the line and Unit to-day is likely to bring with it a complete "Uu-up" from Buffalo to York. There is trouble among the special cicpaty sheriffs sent from here- to assist the Pinkcrton men at East Syracuse, it is stud that they are anxious to reiurn to their homes. One of them drew a revolver Sunday on the captain of the squad hut tbe weapon was wrested from bis hand.

No opposition was made by the strikers and the trains moved without opposition. The men on the Delaware tind Hudson road went back to work last night without any concessions being made by the road.
