I“On the same authority as the Boston Tea Party,“ he responded.The strike was never a strike between the employees and the railroad, but between the employees and the people. It was ill-advised. They were striking for something that did not exist. The railroad could not have paid the higher wages because they had nothing to pay them with. As far as the people along the road are concerned the strike is ended. It ended January 15. They have no apologies to make for the manner in which they ended it. They ’stand firmly on what they have done, and stand ready'to take any steps in the future that are necessary to protect their property rights under the constitution.It is significant that not a bridge has been burned since the 15th of January, nor any other mysteriousaccident happened. Trains are running on time, the road is making a profit, farmers are casting their crop and all industries are running full time. But the people are ever watchful, ready at th« drop of a hat to take up the fight again if necessary.
