2 SAVED FROM HINSELE (Continued from First Page) the old-time engineer, what work he had to perform about the engine, the nuts and bolts to be serewed up, cups cleaned out, and other technical features which the en- ginoer 1s expected to look after. He stated that with the increased size of the loco matives has come decreased work on the part of engincers, and that in consequence of the growing disposition of engineers to shirk work the Unfon Pacific was compelled to pay $47,000 per year for work done b, hostlers and others which was done fifteen years ago by the engineers themselves. Ho #sald that he had occasion to collect the roundhouse books of the system to see just what engineers were doing, and In miany cases found that the engineer never en- tered the roundhouse at all and never took out the engine, but boarded her after coupled up with the train, allowing this Kkind of work to be done by the fireman. He pafd a compliment to the engineers on the Idaho division, who, he said, were usually inter- ested In keeping their engines in good con- dition and looking after the running features of the engine below the foot board He made the statement that the engi- neer does not perform the same service a: he did fiftepn years ago for the same money; that he had shorter hours, a better class of angines and everything more favorable to the engineer. Then he told the court what was proposed by the company as to actual mileage and the reasons for abandoning constructive mileage. Ho sald that the question of alizing wages all over the system strénuously opposed by the emplo; the company had sought to make the wa the same east of Cheyenne as well as west of Cheyenne, but the employes would never hear of it and therefore it was never done, AFRAID TO REDUCE WAG Judge Caldwell at this time asked Mr. McConnell why the company had not put in the equalization feature as now proposed? Mr. McConnell said, “‘Because we would have had trouble.” “Then you come fo the court at this tim and ask it to relleve you of the unpleasant- Auty,” faid the court, while a low laugh rip- pled ‘about the room. Mr. McConnell continued in explanation of rule 1, which was under discussion from the time of convening the court. Judge Caldwell proceeded to Interrogate the wit- uess as to the length of time the rule had been In force. Mr. McConnell sated that thero had been many conferences regarding the rule, but nothing had ever come of them. Judge' Caldwell then said, “Do you think a gourt of equity ought to change a rule that for elght long years has been in force, do you think it right, morally or otherwise that you should put upon this court the re sponsibllity for the changing of this rule when the management of this road could not change {t? What new life has come into the receivers now that the road has passed into the direction of this court?” Judge Caldwell was visibly excited- when propounding these questions. He could not see why the court was asked fo do a thing that the management was afraid (o do. He then asked Mr. McConnell what were the objectionable features of the rules, and the witness told the judge the reasons for the chanpes desired. It was evident, however, that the court intended to try the case his own way, and he proceeded to ask Mr. McConell whether the recelvers had ever given motice in writ- ing to put in new rules. This the witness could not answer. “Do you know the re- ceivers of this road?’ asked Judge Cald- well. Mr. McConnell gave the names of the recelvers. “What is the business of each?’ asked the court. Mr. McConnell replied as well as he could, but it was evi- dent he did not know very miich about the pri- vate life of the receivers beyond Mr. Clark and Mr. Mink. B PUMPING THE SILENT PARTNERS. Mr. Doane being in the room, the court asked him what his business was, and he replied that he was a merchant in Chicago. “Do you know anything about the rules and regulations now in force?”" safd Judge Cald- well. “Not to any great degree,” said Mr. Doane. “I have read them carefully since my appointment as receiver. Judge Caldwell then stated that E. Bllery Anderson_was_an attorney-atslaw {n New York and probably knew as much about running a rafiroad as he, Judge Caldwell, did. *As to Mr. Clark,” sald. his honor, “'wo take judiclal cognizance of his emi- nent fitness for the position he occupies, as well as that of Mr. Mink."” Then Mr. Thurston resumed the work of interrogating Mr. McConnell as to the oner- ous features of the present rules, and later anked Mr. McConnell as to the cost of living on the Wyoming division. In reply Mr. Mc- Connell sought to Introduce in evidence a letter from Superintendent Megeath of the coal department, but the court wouldn't have it. “We don't want any long-winded letters as to the cost of llving read at this time,” said Judge Caldwell. “Here's my Send or bring FOUR coupons and ten aonts fncoin to (his office and receive the Hrd part of this superb work-—the story of the War told by the leading generall on both aides, MAGNIFICENTLY ILLUSTRATED, SERIES NO. 5, DICTIONARY, Only that number of the book correspond - ing with the serfes number of the coupons presented, will ba delivered.

I want to have a look at them. I want to note their intelligence.” After this little monolo ntertainment court took a recess until EXTENT OF DECREASED BUSINESS At the convening of the court yesterday afternoon Mr. Thurston presented to Mr. McConnell the first portion of the statement of the difference between the old and new schedules and their effects on the system, and he identified them as having been pre- pared by him. Mr. McConne}l was asked to state what effect the depressed condition of the country had upon the Unlon Pacific He stated that business had decreased In 1 over 1802 about $1,000,000 per month and there had been a decrease since 1890, but that decrease was greater in 1893 than In other years. After one or two unimportant questions by Attorney Hodges in cross- mination, Mr., McConnell was ordered to stand down. General Manager Dickison, heing sworn, stated that with the exception of short in- tervals he has been with the company since 1869, filling all the positions from operator up. In the summer of 1803, said Mr. Dickin- son, in view of the phenomenal decrease in business after the showing for June was in, it became apparent that something had to be done to meet the decrease in earnings by the reduction in expenses. F in August it was decided to reduce alaried men from $60 and upwards from 10 to 20 per cent. This became effective September 1 This cut affected salaried men, clerks, oper- ators and others, and was also extended to bridge men. This cut was made effective on all those men not federated together. In the latter part of August the various arms of the servi were invited to meet the offi- clals of the system in conference. This Invitation was read by Mr. son, bearing date August 23, 1803, Replies were received from all the trades and the conference was held August 26. Mr. Dickinson then gave in substance his talk to the men. He sald that he told the men of the action taken as to salaried men and thought the road men should come to the relief of the system as well as the sal- arled men. BEarly in October the manage- ment of the company received notice that oy g 4940100, “odod 0} Apror otam L8y committes of the telegraphers informed me,” sald Mr. Dickinson, “that they would not submit to any proposition looking to a re- duction.”” Mr. Dickinson then read a com- munication which was sent to the various branches of labor stating the result of the confereuce held August 26, and asking for an expression of opinion on certain propo sitions which the committee submitted for a vote. Ho stated then in reply to Mr. Thurston's question that he had always tried to treat the men well, and would rather have the men themselves state the treatment they received. 1 October 4 the men stated to Mr. Dick- inson that they could not stand a reduction of wages. On the excess mileage feature Mr. Dickinson stated that it had never seriously been discussed by the management on the ground that the management hated to reduce the men, being a principle with Mr. Clark to pay as good if not better salaries than on any other road. FELT FORCED TO REDUCE. Mr. Dickinson stated that it had been the policy of the company to pay as high or higher wages than neighboring lines, and the slump In earnings was the only excuse for making a proposition for a reduction of pay. He sald that business in the early months of 1893 kept up, but fell off from May, getting worse rapidly, until at the close of the year they had fallen off $7,000,000. There was no prospect of im- provement in the immediate future. Mr. Dickinson was asxked what was the reason the excess mileage was stricken out first in attempting to reduce the salary list, and revlied that it was because it would help out the finances of the company and equalize the wages on different parts of the system. He gave it as his judginent that this was the fairer method as com- pared with a per centage cut in wages. The managers, however, cared little how the reduction came about, but they took the ground that the.allowance of excess mileage on runs over 100 miles was not just. In runs of less than 100 miles the principle of cxcess mileago was preserved In the pro- posed rules, though In a modified degres. Mr. Dickinson stated that the proposed redueed rates of pay would be fully as high and In many cases higher than on compet- ing lines similarly situated. He also sald this question was taken into consideration in framing the proposed new schedule. Ho remarked he did not think it was fair to keep in force the reduced salary for nonorganized labor if the organ- ized labor was not reduced. Judge Caldwell asked If he meant by that, in case the proposed new schedule for the operating service were not made effective they would at once restore the wages of the men reduced in September last. Mr. Dickinson replied he would certainly so recommend to the court, as he thought it no more than just. In reply to Judge Caldwell's question Mr. Dickinson stated that he did not invite the englneérs and others into conference be- cause their answer received October 3 was regarded as sufficient. The schedules would have been put in without notice on the part of the englneers. As to the telegraphers, thirty days notice Is required, he stated, but as (o the engineers no notice except reasonable notice 1s required. He stated that verbal notice had been glven the receivers by President Clark that reductlons would have to come as the engineers were in session when the road passed into the hands of the receivers. Mr. Dickinson con- tended this was notice to the engineers that changes would be made. But Judge Cald- well thought not and pinned Mr. Dickinson down to the statement that he would not regard that as specific notice, Judge Caldwell then asked whether it was not the custom to confer with the men, and Mr. Dickinson replied that it was usually the other way. “What [ want tof get at,” sald Judge Cald- well, “is to find out whether this road has been in duress for the past fifteen or twenty years because of assertions made by the men." Mr. Dickinson replied that he did not con- sider the road under duress The witness said that in August, 1892, the telegraphers asked for a conference, which was granted. They presented regulations and rates o fpay which were discused, and the operators gave him until 6 o'clock to answer or they would “play ball’—the sig- nal to walk out. The demand was grante, ON THE COMPANY'E THROAT. Judge Caldwell interjected that at the late conference the operators and the receivers had come to an agreement, to which Mr. Dickinson replled that until this conference the operators had their hand on the com- pany's throat. Mr. Dickinson read notices sent out by the men stating that it was necessary for all organizations to Join tgether by federation of the orders on the system in order to he ablo to resist the demands of the company The circular was signed by F. E. Gilliland of the telegraphers. The circular accom panying the letter cautioned the recipient of the circular to keep it secret. Judge Cald- well suggested that the eircular did not have any bearing on the engineers, who were then at bar. Mr. Dickinson then trom Montpeller, which was incorporated in Mr. Clark's report, and was published in yester day morning's Bee. Mr. Harper, in behalf of the firemen, re- pudiated the doctrine enunclated In the let- ter, Mr. Dickinson then went into a description of the characteristics of the system in regard to grades, curves, etc, as compared with other roads which it competed. He sald it compared very favorubly with thess roads and it any difference, It was in favor of the Unfon Pacific. He sald he was ten yeurs on the Wyoming division and cost of living there 18 less now than \hen. “But it 1s a protty tough to live,” remarked the general manager. The court asked (f there was any improvement in Cheyenne and' Mr. Dickinson sald ‘‘yes, and no." " There was an improve ment in buildings, but a remarkable Gecline in business. “‘Leave it, ‘o, Judge Caldwell, brother Riner." Mr. Dickinson sald he wished to go back and speak concerniug the treatment the men had recefved by the management and Judge Caldwell asked the men if there was an) controversy on that point and the men sald no; they were satisfied with their freatment In response to & query’ Mr. Dickinson Dickin- instead for the of benefit sant my tyes,' of stated he did not consider the proposed new schedule of wages unfair, The com- pany aid not want to enforce cheap wages and he did not think the new schedule pro- vided for such Do you know if the action of the North- ern Pacific hastened the action of the Union Pacific?” asked Judge Caldwell “By no means,” said Mr. Dickinson. Wo had our schedule in hand before” the Northern Pacific commenced their discus- sion"" The court then asked Mr. to the service of the rond which tleman stated was first class. “Isn't it better than most the court “‘We belleve it is better than some roads," replied Mr. Dickinson, The court then asked Mr. Dickinson whether he attributed any part of the em- barrassment of the road to the employes, the witness sald: ‘‘Certainly not."” The Oregon Railway and Navigation com- pany came into the system in 1890," said Mr.” Dickinson, in reply to Mr. Thurston, “and rates were established on the Pacific division when it was the only line of rails in that territcry. The Oregon Raflway and Navigation came to the Union Pacific by in- heritance.” ou don’t want any more such property by Inheritance?” said Judge Caldwell ““No,” said Mr. Dickinson, “it would break our backs."” Mr. Dickinson then stated that the con- structive mileage features had been in force on the Union Pacific for almost a quarter of a contury Do you think that when a court of equity Inherits a condition of things which had been in force for a quarter of a century it should sanction a change without notice to the parties interest asked Judge Caldwell. Mr. Dickinson said in view of the fact that the men had refused to ac- l“i"l\ a reduction, he thought the action was st Dickinson as tho gen- roads?" asked WAS IT NOT REPUDIATED? Mr. Hodges, on cross-examination, asked if Mr. Dickinson did not know that the Montpelier circular had been repudiated by the general officers of the labor orders, and Mr. Dickinson said he did not; in fact, he did not know that the general officers even knew of its existence. Mr. Hodges asked if the decrease in trafiic had not decreased the compensation of the men, and Mr. Dickinson said that was not entirely true, for the bad been de- creased largely. Judge Riner asked as to the hazard of em- ployment on the mountain division as com- pared with the Nebraska division. Mr. Dickinson stated that he was not able to give from memory the ratio of mortality in the two sectlons, but did not think there was any material difference in the risks run, THE STAND. Mr. Receiver Mink was next called. He stated that he had been connected with the Unfon Pacific since 1872, coming up from a bookkeeper to comptroller. He said he had charge of the accounts since 1876 and had very much to do with the company’s finan clal transactions. He then presented a de. tailed report of the financial standing of the system, showing that in 1893 the earnings, as compared with 1802, fell off $7,084,000 in round numbers. The decrease did not com- mence uutil the first week in May, said le, but after that they went with a rush, some days showing a decrease of $50,000 a day. Since September the decrease has been most marked. For the firts two weeks in March the earnings fell off nearly $400,000, as com- pared with the corresponding period in 1893 Mr. Mink then presented a staiement of evenings for several years back as follows: MILES OPERATED. 1889, i 1893 3 1894 (Taniary). L OPERATING 750,341.88 -celver in reply to a question. SOME POINTED QUESTIONS PUT. Judge Caldwell, having Mr. Mink on tiie grindiron, proceeded to catechise that gen- tleman as to the financlal standing of the Union Pacific road. He asked him a number of questions as to the report made by Goy- ernor Pattison in the Pacific investigation. “In that report,” said Judge Caldwell, ““Governor Pattison state that the bonds in the treasury represented but 2 cents on the dollar. Do’ you believe the -truth of that report?” Mr. Mink said that he believed Governor Pattison to be a well meaning man, but had been greatly mislead. “If what Governor Pattison says is true,” sald Judge Caldwell, ‘‘regarding the bonds in the treasury, do vou think that the men of this great system should be made to suffer? Wouldn't it be better that the government should lose every cent of thesc bonds than that these men should be made to bear the burden?"” Mr. Mink hesitated a moment, but finally sald that if the Pattison report be true, then he didn't believe the men should be made to bear the brunt of the shrinkage. Judge Caldwell read from Governor Patti- son's report to the president, which showed there was paid into the treasury $4,650,000 and for this, stock to the amount of S 762,300 was issue Bonds were issued as follows st trage ity United HOTEKY Land grant..... s Baptpm Stock outstunding Totul Cost of line Profit on construction The majority report, signed by Mr.. Lit tler and Mr. Anderson, differed only in the amount stated to be the profit of construc tion, which they placed at $43,929,324, In reply to a question Mr. Mink said that prior to the ppointment of the ceivers he had been sccoud vice president of the company, and previous to that he had been comptrolier of the company. The cut in monthly salaries affected all men drawing over $60 per month. IHis own salary was $10,000 a year, and he regretted to say that was cut also. Mr. Mink stated it was frue the recel had asked for an allowance of $18,000 a year by the court, and the pe- tition ‘stated ‘they reserved the right to ask for more, but ‘up to date they had received nothing. Judge Caldwell asked if they con- templafed asking for more, and Mr. Mink stated they did not. He said they had taken no part in the preparation of that petition only to sign it, but thought, in view of the responsibilities the position involved and the fact that each was compelled to give o bond in the sum of $360,000, the amount of Judge Caldwell sald that suppose the court should allow the $18.000 salary, and after the receiver had -made all his business ar- rangements to-enter upon the duties of the position the court -should telegraph him without previous notice or a hearing thut his salary had becn reduced, what would he say to that? Mr. Mink replied that he would probably object. Replying to a question of Judge Caldwell Mr. Mink admitted the schedule reducing the pay of the men had heen prepared, sub mitted to the court and approved without any notice to the men. As to whetlier that was a just procedure or not Mr. Mink safl he supposed the men could intervene and ask to have it modified, but the court askdd it it would not have been a more equitable proceeding to allow the men affected to b heard before judgment was reached Mr. Mink said he thought then and still thought they did what was best for the trust they as receivers had in charg “When the order was approved by the court.”” said Judge ‘Caldwell, “then you thought that fixed it, didn’t you?" to whic Mr. Mink replied he thought the plan pu sued was the best one 1o uvold any trouble The court ilustrated the point he intende} to make by asking the witness what he wonld think if some one should come fnt couri and say that the wiicess owed hin $60,000 aid the courr should furthwith pro ceed to enter up a judgmen’ for thal amount without any notice of suit, and aske? if the witness thought the judgment would BEE: ATURDAY, MARCH stand, and Mr. Mink admitted he thought not < The court en asked why the manage ment did notfroceed in such a summary manner to redice the wages when the com- pany was opfating the reads. He also asked if the wihess did not think this court was Justified in belfeving that rules and regulations that had been in force for twenty-five yeaid/on one of the best man aged roads “In.the world were just and equitable. *Mr."Mink replied that he thought not in view of “the reduction of earnings on the systems LOOKING ZA4yr wOoR Judge Caldwel agked If the earnings were only suffieint to pay the operating expenses of the road, should not the men receivo a just ,campensation whether bond- holders ever got a cent or not. So far as he was concerned the judge said he con- coived it to be his highest duty to see that the employes of the court received just wompensation and that the road was safely operated by competent men. Mr. Mink was asked by Mr. Thurston it he knew who the bondholders and stock- holders of the company were and he replied they were principally scattered through New England and the continent of Europe. The company had paid no dividend on stosk for ten years except on that of the Oregon Rail- way and Navigation company, which that company was only able to pay through the lease monoy pald it by the Short Line com- pany. This money was not earned on the lines of that company, but was paid for business which the Unfon Pacific carried oevr its lines to get into Oregon. President Clark was then called. In answer to a question by Mr. Thurston Mr, Clark stated that if a uniform system of rules could be adopted for the entire road it would be a help both to th nd to the offici It ‘was understood, Mr. Clark stated, that after the thirly days had ex- pired before the new rules were to be put in operation the men would have been fin- vited into a confarence and there the rules would have heen taken up. With some modifications, Mr, Clark stated, he believed the new rules were better than the old ones This concluded the hearing for the day. and the court was adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning. It is generally predicted that the hearing of the case before Judges Caldwell and Riner will be completed today, and if not, it will be g0 nearly completed that little will remain to be done. The earnest efflorts of the court to get at all the facts which whl throw any light on the question at issue, regardless of legal technicalities, are generally commended on every hand. Among the employes, who have THE MEN, M1 along expressen in the fairness of opinion has deepened. Whatever may be the final outcome, the men feel assured of an unbiased judgment at the hands of a court who is anxious that their every right shall be considered Mr. Mink wil probably leave for the east today, as the court indicated to him after djournment that he could go. President Clark wil leave Sunday for St. Louis then east, but his destination is not cideqy although Mr. Mink desires that should go to Lakewood, N.
