?jq Episodo of tho Lato New York
Central Strike.
[Written for Tills Papcr.l
(&f} N ono rospect
the recent striko
on tho New York
Central was far
from boi np a
a failure, as I
will endeavor to
show.
A ho nt seven
o'clock p. m. Fri
d a y, August,
1S0D, A. D., there
could have been
6oen sitting in a
car in the Third
avenue elevated
train, at City
Hall station, a
middle- aged
gentleman,
wearing a tired
look, a high silk
hat. and also the
peculiar name of
?Tones, Ilo was,
and is, for ho
still lives, the
proprietor cf ono of tho numerous hos
telrics in the vicinity of tho Grand
Central depot.
Although .Tones is far from being rich
himself, he nevertheless has a great
veneration for thoso who are. In fact,
the .Tones family had boon rich, and ho
himself was born with a silver spoon in
in bis mouth; but reverses came, and ho
wont into business in order to find
something to out with tho spoon.
?Tones is an individual of marked con?
servative tendencies, and ho regards
what he is pleased to call tho "lower
classes" as a dangerous element that is
liable by strikes and similar labor
demonstrations to knock tho koystono
out of the arch upon which rests our en?
tire social fabric. .Tones is the friend of
capital, which ho invariably spells with
a largo (.'. Socially Jones, although not
a millionaire, is a capital fellow. Tho
tired look on .Tones' face, and to which
I have already alluded, was caused by a
note about to fall due, to meet which ho
was somewhat unprepared. Tho truth
is .Tones' hotel Is not very popular. In
tho language of a competing landlord,
"as a competent hotel it stands without
arrival."
While Jones was sitting in the car
waiting for tho train to start another
middle-aged gentleman entered. It was
Smith, who is moderately prosperous
and who lives at Mount Vernon.
Smith is, and has been, a strong per?
sonal friend of Jones. There is only
one point on which they disagree, and
that is in regard to tho relations of cap?
ital and labor. Smith, although no of?
fice-seeker, is the friend of the laboring
man, or, rather, was, tho friend of tho
laboring men. Why ho no longer is
tho friend of labor will appear if the
reader will make an earnest effort to
keep on reading this sketch.
On this occasion Smith, the chum, so to
speak, of horny-flsted toil, was extreme?
ly anxious to reach his home in Mount
Vernon, as *he had an appointment
that evening with a man appropriately
named Wriggles, a real estate agent,
of whom Smith wanted to buy a vacant
lot adjoining tho Smithsonian mansion.
There was another party in Mount Ver?
non who was after that lot, hence for
Smith tthc delay of tho train was almost
sure to result in tho defeat of his most
cherished scheme.
Smith, the radical friend of toil, took
tho vacant seat by tho side of conserva?
tive Jones, and they conversed pleasant?
ly about the leading topics of the day
until they reached that of the cloak
makers' strike. Smith said that tho
striking oloakmakors were fully justified
in resistingtnoiremployers, whiiciones
maintained that no matter what conces?
sions were made to them they wouldstill
ask for more, and in an abrupt and inso?
lent manner. "Owing to their tendency
to gush and spout and create a bad odor,
flare up and go off when they ain't load
od, these strikes remind me very much
\ of a gas well," remarked Jones.
"When it comes to strikes," said
Smith, impressively, "you will almost
always find that tho strikers havo real
grievances that fully justify them in
quitting work."
"In my opinion," retorted Jones, tho
! advocato of capital, "moro trouble is
' caused by men who can get work, but re?
fuse to work, than by those who want
work, but can not got it."
"My sympathies," replied Smith, "are
invariably with tho strikers, and I am
not only willing, but anxious, to assist
them against tho grinding monopolies
and bloated bondholders."
"Grinding monoplies!" sneered Jones;
"tho only grinding monopoly I ever
knew was when tho Italian organ
grinders in Now York got up a 'com?
bine' And as for bloated bondholders,
I've soen lots of bondholders who held
plenty of stock and were not bloated at
all, while it has been my misfortune to
have known men who never held any
thing except whisky, and who were
really bloated. Smith, do you know
that at timos I think you are a littlo
off?"
"Of course Pin off, becauso I'm op?
posed to monopolies," replied Smith,
peevishly.
"A monopoly," resumed Jones, with a
cynioal smile, "is tho rival establish?
ment over tho way, but, as soon as
you get possession of it, it mysteriously
ceases to bo a monopoly. Tho anti
monopolist is often tho fellow who
would liko to put himself in tho place
of the millionaire. My dear sir, thoro
are lots of millionaires who work hard?
er than their clerks."
"That's tho way it should bo, when
you take into consideration how much
more pay they get," said Smith, scoring
a point.
"Itisnouso talking. Tho moro you
concedo to strikers tho moro they will
demand If, for instance, thoro was a
strike on this road, and Superintendent
Ilain were to grantln inch tho strikers
would take the oil; but joking aside: I'm
in favor of putting down strikes by tho
strong arm of tho law. It would bo
mercy to tho strikers, for in the Ion g
run tho striker soon exhausts his ro
iourccs and has to striko his fnondB fori
tnonoy. Tho only timo thoy arc success?
ful is when they striko for fewor hours
?nd it results in their not working at
til."
?'Jones, wo should beware of thoeo
who do not show their love for human?
ity by their every-day acts and utter?
ances. You have no milk of human,
kindness in your composition. My plan
would bo to treat tho strikers with kind
noss," said Smith.
By this time tho train had reached
tho Forty-second street station, and
Smith and Jones hurried into tho cross
car, tho former remarking that ho
I would not miss tho 7:00 train for
j Mount Vernon for flvo hundred dol
' lars in gold. As tho cross-car ap
! proached the Grand Central depot,
j Jones, who was looking into the street,
I said with a puzzled expression on his
face:
"I wonder what's up. It must bo a
riot Tho whole street is blocked with
! people running around as if thoy wero
; crazy."
Smith and Jones descended as soon
as possible into the strcot, which was
i suffering from a congestion of excited
t pedestrians, struggling with grip-sacks
1 and suppressed excitement, with oc?
casional outbursts of crude profanity,
j "What's the matter with tho* mob?"
! asked Jones of Brown whom they met.
I and with whom both were well ac?
quainted.
"There are no trains running. Tho
railroad employes have struck," replied
Brown.
; "What!" gasped Smith, thinking of
his appointment at Mount Vernon, and
turning as pale as a piece of antiquo
: tripe.
"Thoro will be no more trains to-night.
. The railroad omployes.struck at 7:15."
"No train to Mount Vernon?"
"I don't think there will be any trains
for two or throe days, if the strikers can
prevent it."
i "Oh, tho malignant hyenas'." howled
1 Smith, tho former friend of the laboring
: man, "they are toads with devilish arts;
1 they are a disgrace to tho ninctoenth
I century, they are?they are no good!
No train for Mount Vernon! I never
i realized before what a National calamity
. theso strikes are."
"When it comes to strikes you will
always find that tho strikers have real
I grievances that justify thorn in quitting
j work," calmly replied Jones, quoting
tho very words of Smith, tho ex-friend
j of tho working-men, and winking at
i Brown.
"What is tho name of that whelp of
j sin, tho blatant sneak who ordered this
Strike?" asked Smith, gritting his teeth.
"I'm not sure whether it is I'owdorly,
or a fellow named Holland," replied
Brown, punching Jones in tho ribs on
tho sly, for Smith's crankiness on this
subject was well known to all his
friends.
"Whoever he is, he is a reptile with
sneaking ambition. lie ought to bo
j lynched. No train for Mount Vernon!
Thi3 settles the labor question. I'd like
"WHAT'1' GASPED SMITH, "XO TRAIN TO
MOUNT VEKNOX?"
to have him in some secluded dell for
about ton minutes. I'd give him somo
points about strikes that would startlo
him. Aro you suro, Brown, that there
is no train for Mount Vernon?"
"I am."
"Where is the militia! What are tho
polico doing!"
"My way would be," quoted Jones,
with a sanctimonious grin, "to treat tho
strikers with kindness. I tell you,
Smith, bewaro of those who do not show
their lovo for humanity by their every
days acts and uttorances. However,
hard-hearted as you aro, como along
with mo over to my hotel, and I'll take
care of you for to-night."
When thej' reached Jones' hotel, tho
peoplo were seen standing in lino as if
tickets for a Patti concert wero for sale.
The number of passengers who had to
remain in town in consequonco of tho
striko was so great that Jones' hotel was
crowded like a Harlem flat, and he, tak?
ing a leaf from tho book of tho railroad
companies, advanced the local rate for
board and lodgings, thoioby reaping a
rich harvest, which enabled him to moot
tho note, causing a permanent, sunny,
bright (smilo to spread out over tho
Southern frontier of his face and curl up
under his ears. Appreciating tho fact
that this windfall was due to the strik?
ers, Jones is not so severe on them as
he was. Ho thinks now that the strik?
ers in this isolated case had a real griev?
ance, and ho censures General Webb for
having acted harshly in refusing to con?
fer with the men. Jones says now that
labor, as well as capital, has its rights.
On the other hand, Smith, whoso worst
fears wero realized, for Wriggles wrig?
gled out of tho bargain and sold the
coveted lot to tho other party, says that
ho hopes his right arm may cling to tho
roof of his mouth if he has another good
word to say for tho cause of labor, that
tho laboring man knows no moro about
gratitude than a double-nosed pointer
does about tho refraction of light.
If the striko bad been as successful in
other respects as it was in changing tho
sentiments of Smith tho humblest
brakeman would soon bo able to stand
tha expense of running a great religions
daily In New York and indulge in all
other luxuries of tho metropolis.
