A it*ten of the Thirteenth Regl- dale an official report today to Sen. Miller covering the ooour- rtstcnlay, when Thomas Car- « killed. He says: K|«‘ first advance some pans, bot- "'I. In some Instances, bedroom will be heard at 10 o'clock tomorrow as to Which form at writ, peremptory or alternative, shall be Issued. The w»re cutting last night was more extensive than at any time since the strike began. The wires on some of the lines were so badly mutilated tnat a targe force of man and many hours w ' or £ 1 wer ? necessary to put them In working shape. The wires of tne Trey avoaue line wero cut in several places. On third avenue line whole secUens of wires were cut out during the night. Ft\un Sixtieth to Fifty-fifth not a ves- J*, an overhead wire of this line was left. The feed wire at this point wns also cut. At Twentieth street and Seventh avenue the cross section on the curve with that point wus cut out. On tho Fifteenth street Un* the wires have been cut nearly along the entire line. It took many houre o repair the many breaks because the companies had go few linemen, and cars on the lines affected did not run until some time late In the afternoon. In a lengthy typewritten statement President Norton of the Atlantic Ave nue Railroad Company reviews the strike and Its cause from the compa ny’s standpoint. Among other things It cites that had the demands of tile men been acceded to, it would have decreased the present profits of the company by 150,000 per year. In the Interest of the stockholders, he says, he refused the demands. He also gives hts reasons for his refusal to entertain the proposition of the men to arbi trate. Hts main reason for the refusal Was that, so far as the tines of die com panies which Ik, represented were con cerned, the strike was practically over and It would only be a matter of a few days when the cans on all the lines would be running as regularly as they were .before the strike began. , “The duty of the company is to carry passengers through certain, streets of Brooklyn and to furnish men and run care enough to fully accomimmue iiie public. It may not lawfu.ly cease to perform hat duty for even an hour. The directors of « private business company may, actuated by private greed or motives ot gain, stop business or refuse to employ labor at all unless labor come down to their conditions, however distressing, for such are the existing Industrial and social condi tions. But the directors of railroad corporations may not do the like. They are not merely accountable to the public first and to the stockholders second. They have duties to the public to per form and they must perform them. If they cannot get labor to perform such duties at what they offer to pay them they must pay more, and os much Is necessary to get It. Likewise if the conditions In reaped of hours or otherwise which they Impose repel labor, they must adopt more lhtlcnt or Just conditions. “They may not stop their oars for one hour, mudh less one week, or one year, thereby to beat or coerce the price of conditions of labor down to the price or conditions they offer. “That a private citizen ha» suffi cient standing to make this applica tion. whtah is unquestionable, and has heretofore been decided by this court, and I must accept it as law. And It being admitted that the company Is not fully operating its lines at road, I feel It my duty to ollow the writ pray ed for, either In its peremptory or al ternative form, unless a sufficient an swer lias been made In law. “In respect to tho question of hours and sregert between the company nnd Its employes, Its duty was to have gone on. und now Is to go on with lls full complement of employes, having the right gradually and from day to day to supersede Its employes If It-can by new employes who will work on Its terms, or to supersede them all at once- when It has obtained a sufficient number of new employes for that purpose: but it has no right to stop Its care for this purpose. If the people of the state were running these roads they wou.d not thus Incommode themselves, and It must not bo forgotten that his corpora- Ion Is Instructed with the running of heso roads as the servant of the peo ple of the state. “Such party bus the right to obtain the best terms it can: and. as was said In the freight handlers esse. If the com pany cannot get men at n price that It thinks fair. It is bound to get them at a price It may deem exorbitant, because Its dtuy Is to run Its road." THE STRIKE HEADERS ENTHUSED Judge OaynoFs decision seems <o have Infused a new spirit Into the lead ers of the strike, who declare they are now as determined as ever In their struggles and believe they will be sue- retarul, but yet are willing. SS they hare been from the beginning, to sub mit the questions at Issue to arbitra tion. ALL IN A MUDDLE. Atlanta’e Council and Police Board Re main at Loggerheads.
