Charleston, S. C, July 11,1901.
mg you concerning me ou-ouug
Machinists of your road, being
assured that you will give our
communication duo and careful
consideration, and grant the re
quest therein coutained.
We represent the business in
terests of our community, and
while we are not in any way ad-
vocating the cause of the Strikers,
or maintaining that they are
right or wrong, we believe that
some fair and amicable adjust
ment can be had.
We understand that Mr. Gan
non has refused to hold any
further conference with the rep
resentatives of the Strikers, or
to adjust the matter in any way,
and that he has taken the posi
tion that under no circumstances
will he, permit the re-employment
of these men.
We feel satisfied that some am
icable arrangement, satisfactory
to all parties concerned, can be
had. The Machinists employed
by your road here ere almost to
a man hard-working and reliable
citizens. Strikes have occurred
throughout this country for
years, and have been adjusted in
someway from time to time, and
wo see no reason why this strike
cannot also be settled.
We believe that it shouid be
settled; that it is detrimental to
the interests of this community;
that it should continue no longer.
We therefore most earnestly
urge that yC J consent to another
hearing from a Committee of
Mechanics.
We feel assured that some good
can be accomplished by such con
ference, and that it would be the
means of ending the entire trou
ble now existing between the em
ployee and employer.
We beg respectfully to remain,
Yours very truly, .

PRESIDENT SPENCER'S UEPLY.
New York. July 23, 1901.
Dear Sirs:
I am today in receipt, through
Mr. Gannon, of your joint com
munication of the 11th inst., re
questing me to meet a Committee
of Mechanics from Charleston,
presumably to be selected from
the late employees of this Com
pany at that poiDt.
The question which you pre
sent of an appointment with a
new Committee of the Machinists
formerly in the employ of the
ompany has already beeu pre
sented by another friend, actu
ated by the same laudablo mo
tives as yourselves, and, in re
spending to your kind sugges
tion, I cannot do better than to
practically reproduce what was
said to him
In Order to deal with the sub
ject proporly, a brief review of
the situation is necessary.
On May 27th last, a committee
of machinists, then in the em
ploy of the Company at the sev
eral shops, met Mr. Gannon, the
General Manager, at his office in
Washington, by appointment,
and presented a typewritten pe
tition, which had been previously
presented to the Master Me
chanics and the Superintendents,
asking that the working hours
in the shops be made nine houis
per day with ten hours pay; that
certain rules in respect to over
time be adopted; that a pre
scribed limit be placed upon the
number of apprentices employed, '
and that other specified rules and
regulations with regard to the
operation of the shops be put in
force by the Company. ,
After a general discussion of
more than two hours, the dele
gation informed Mr. Gannon
that it had no "authority" to ac
cept anything except the pro
visions of the petition as pre
sented. Many of these provisions wore
such that they could not reason
ably be acceded to, and the rea
sons were stated.
The petition had not been drawn
by the employees of the Com
pany, and the questions involved j
had never been previously dis
cussed on their merits between
the officers of the Company and
those employees.
It was drawn by outside par
ties and submitted as an ultimat
um, the employees avowing in
presenting it that they had no
"authority" to act outside of its
terms.
The issue was thus clearly
drawn : should the rates of pay
and hours of work, the relative
number of employees of a special
class to be employed, and other
rules and regulations for the
Company's shops, be dictated by
an outside authority, or should
the Company control its business
in these respects t
To this, of course, there could
be but one answer.
All subjects of mutual interests
aro proper ones for" discussion
and reasonable adjustment be
tween the Company aud its em
ployees, but the Company can
not accept, for the conduct of its
business in any department, rules
and regulations laid down arbi
trarily by any one.
It has always met its .m
plovees, of all classes, in lair
discussion. Equitable and satis
factory adjustments havo ou
many occasions been made with
the employees, including the ma
chinists, after such conferences.
After the cioso of the confer
ence, and in order that the em
ployees at all of the shops should
be fully acquainted with all that
had transpired, the proceedings
of the meeting, wnich had been
reported stenographically, were
printed and distributed in pam
phlet form as promptly as pos
sible. In the meantime, advices
were sent to the several Master
Mechanics and Superintendents
that 6uch report would be sent
as soon as it could be printed,
and the shop men were urged,
by circular datod May 28, to
await its receipt and to avoid all
hasty action, and the assurance
was added that, if after reading
the proceedings they considered
another meeting with the gen
eral Manager desirable, one
would be arranged for.
This advice was unheeded, and,
apparently, under instructions
from authority outside of the
Company's -service, the men
struck on or about May 30, with
out waiting to receive the report
of the proceedings, and ignoring
the invitation for a second con
ference. The Company, desiring still to
befriend its employees, and pro
tect them against the unfortunate
consequences of the bad advice
which' they were following,
promptly issued notices, dated
May 31 and June 1, which were
posted at all of the shops, cau
tioning the men against the un
wisdom of their course, aud allowing-
them to return to work
without prejudice on Monday
morning, Juno 3rd, but caution
ing them that if they failed so to
'do, they could no lnger be re
garded as employees of the Com
pany, and their places would be
filled.
This advice and caution was
also disregarded, and, I am
afraid, was misunderstood and
possibly misconstrued by many.
This is the situation today, ex
cept that tho places of over 70
per cent, of those who thus vol
untarily left the servico have
been tilled.
The men who have taken these
places are now the employees of
tho Company, and they are en
titled iu good faith to the s me
consideration accorded to all oth
er employees, of proforenc i in
continuance of service as Ion;; as
they so desire, and so long as
their services aro satisfactory.
It would be unfair and unwisel
for the Company to now take up
for discussion any question which
involvod the displacement of any
of these men, who have volun
tarily entered the servico and
who desire to remain, In favor of
others who voluntarily left it for
reasons which were apparently
then satisfactory to them.
Under these circumstances, 1
do not seo how anything mater
ial can be accomplished by a
meeting with the Committee to
which you refer. The reinstate
ment o? the men who have left
the service is now impracticable.
There are loss than thirty per
cent, of vacancies, and it is
doubtful whether, at this season,
the Company desires to increaso
the shop forces up to the point
at which they stood prior to the
st rike.
The shops were running very
full at that time under a genera"!
understanding previously reach
ed with the Machinists and oth
ers, that as nearly as possible,
regular employment would be
given the year around, instead!
of varying the forces in propor-'
turn to the activity of business1
during the different months of!
tho year. '
However, it is the desire of the
Company to give courto.us at
tention to all questions presented,
aud if the Committee, to which
you refer shalfbe appointed, and
desires to communicate with any
of our officers, I suggest, in or
der to avoid misuudorstandings,
that the communication shall be
iu writing, stating exactly what
the Committee desires to present
for consideration.
I enclose you horewi'b a copy
of the pamphlet containing the
proceeding of the mooting ot May
27 between Mr. Gannon aud the
Committee, and also copies of
the posted notices of May 28,
May 31 and June 1, herein re
ferred to.
I assure you that the spirit in
which your letter is written is
fully appreciated, and no one re
grots more than I do the unfor
tunate position in which the
former employees of the Com
pany have allowed themselves to
be placed, and from which, as
you will see, this Company tried
to save them.
Yours very sincerely,
Samuel Spencer, Pres.
v ice-President Gannon to
Shopmen.
The following will bo seen to
be tho letters of vice-President-
Guuuon to tho shopmen, which
form a necessary element in un
derstanding tho situation :
Washington, May 28, 1901.
All Shopmen :
My meetiug with tho Machin
ists' Committee lasted three
hours and fifteen minutes yester
day. Willi tho exception of a few
indiscreet remarks made by throe
of the members, I was led to be
lievo that we were making satis
factory progress and removing
all possiblo causes for dissatis
faction or misunderstanding,
when the Chairman informed me
that they had no authority to
discuss any of the matters re
ferred to excepting the proposed
contract with the 1. A. of M
Throe of the members seemed to
think they were in full control,
aud could have everything done
as they might dictate. They went
so far as to say tluy would close
the shops. This, of course,
brought the meeting to a close.
Tho management, believing in
the intelligence) and honesty of
purpose of tho shopmen, has no
fear as to what action they will
take under such circumstances.
The unreasonable action of the
misguided Committeemen, who
seemed to think that they should
present tho dictates of an outside
organization rathor than the
views and wishes of our meD,
has possibly put the matter in
such shape as to load to a, misun
derstanding. This conirfiunica
tion is sent to you to guard
against such a result. The pro
ceedings of the meeting will bo
sent to you tomorrow, and if,
after reading them, -you consider
it desirable to have another meet
ing, it will be my pleasure to so
arrange. Frank S. Gannon.
Washington, May 31, 1901.
All Shopmen :
Feeling sure that the majority
cf the men who left their work
were misled, and being anxious
to help them to avoid making a
most serious mistake, I take this
means to appeal to your good
sense and second thought You
are evidently misinformed as to
what the result of a serious mis
understanding under present
conditions can be to the men.
We believe that those who have
stopped work acted on impulse,
and without stopping to seriously
think what tho outcome of such
hasty action might be. The con
sideration of these matters and
tho desire to safeguard the best
interests of our men, explain tho
present of the Company. I was
disappointed in those who acteid
hastily, but believe they will,
upon reflection, see their error,
consider their duty to their fam
ilies, themselvesand their neigh
bors, and be guided by it rather
than the mere mouthiugs of out
side strangers, agitators and
walking delegates. As you are
aware, the Company has taken
no important part in the matter,
and prefors to avoid trouble with
its mon. It is my duty to inform
you that the gonlloman in Canada
is trying to make a cat's-paw of
you and should bo repudiated.
The 1. A. or M. is today practi
cally bankrupt, and its officers
aro in no better position to make
their promises good than tho O.
Ii. T. was a year ago. They can
do nothing for you when the ex
citement is over, and any attempt
to coerce this Company must re
suit in a failure that our mon will
:il ways regret. Please be as
sured, any order that may be
issued by this Company rel itivo
to this matter will be irrevocable,
and, in case of serious trouble,
there will be absolutely no com
promise. You can regard this
as the advice of one the best
friends you have.
Frank S. Gannon.

All Shopmen :
AH shopmen who fail to report
for duty at seven o'clock Mon
day morning, third instant, on j
account of the agitation caused
by the I. A. of .M., will bo con
sidered as having quit the ser
vice, and will bo paid off at once
Their places will be filled by oth
ers when it becomes necessary to
do so, and those who sever their
connection with the Company
under these conditions will taku
notice that they will not be reemployed.
