Officers of Ike Brotherhood Appear Be
tore the Senate' Sab-Conuntttee and
Tell The Story of the Strike. ,
New York, August 13. The tub
committee of the United States Senate
committee on labor and edacation be
gan ite session to day in the postofflce
building. The members present were
Senators Blair, of New Hampshire,
chairman ; George, of Mississippi ; Pugh
- of Alabama ; Call, of Florida, and Al
lrich. of Rhode Island. The special
eubjact of the sub committee of ia yea li
gation is the strike and labor move
ments in general, the object being to
obtain information which may be used
in securing future legislation to pre
vent tbem. The committee held sev
eral sessions last winter, when a num
ber of witnesses were examined. Tbe
first witness to day was John Campbell
of Pittsburg, Master Workman of the
Telegraph Brotherhood, lie testified
that he had been a telegraph operator
20 years and he had been connected
w itn the Knights of Labor and Broth
erhood of Telegraphers for two. years.
There wire between 18,000 and 19,000 in
the United States and Canada who are
members of the Brotherhood, and tbe
whole membership is about 22JXX) The
cause of the strike was the refusal to
grant a demand on the part of the ope
rators for increased compensation, a
decrease in hours and extra compensa
tion for Sunday work. Since 1879 the
salaries of operators had been system
atically cut down. The object of the
etiike was to bring the rate of compen
sation back to its former standard. Op
erators were now paid a fixed sal an
per month, the average rate through-
at the country being about S54 for
commercial operators, $39 per month
jor railroad operators. The average
t ats for railroad operators in Pennsyl
vania is S38 to 986 per month. The rate
of wages for first-class commercial ope
rators had ranged from 830 to 85 per
month. The salaries in New Turk city
were higher than those in smaller cities
west, with the exception of New Or
leans, Memphis and Nashville where
ttie scale of wages was about equal to
that in this city. The lowest rates for
commercial operators were from $35 to
$40 per month,for operators at small
way stations. Before the reduction in
wages the rates were from 35 to 40 per
.cent, higher than at present. In 1870
A rst-class operators could get from 890
Xo $120 per month. These rates exten
ded back to the time of the beginning
jot the war, when the scale of wages
was about tbe same as it is at present
tor railroad operators and that for com
mercial men a little higher. The W U
Co employs a quarter of all the opera-
' tors in the country and about two-thirds
jtre railroad operators. The American
Rapid Co employs only about one-fifth
as many operators as the W U. The
protest of the Brotherhood was against
All the Companies and all employeer of
telegraph operators.
The rate of wages was not considered
sufficient to live upon and was much
- ooiow that of common ' day laborers.
- J.a many instances toe companies were
able to pay higher wages to their men
without increasing their rates for ser
vice to the public This was evident
from the large dividends paid by the
Western Union. Besides this the f acil
ties for transmitting messages had been
increased by the invention of duplex
and quadruple! instruments. There
iiad been no reduction in tbe tariff in
consequence ef these improvements
but on the other hand the wages of the
operatois were cut down.
The number of operators had doubled
since 1870 while the facilities of compa
nies had more than doubled. The
Western Union in that year handled
7.000,000 messages and last year the
number was 85,000,000.
Campbell related the hjstory of the
strike sinee its beginning. There was
n convention of the Brotherhood, he
said, held in Chicago last March at
which a bill of grievances was drawn up.
This was presented to tbe different as
semblies of the Brotherhood through
out the United States and Canada who
unanimously adopted the action of tbe
convention. Returns to the executive
board were made about two months
ago and the committee was instructed
to present tbe demands of operators to
the different companies, and they were
also empowered to arbitrate upon any
propositions that might be made by tbe
companies.- On the 16th of July the
demands were presented to the Western
Union, American Rapid, Baltimore and
Ohio, Commercial, and numerous tele
phones companies in the city. The
only answer which has yet been re-
eeived ia from the American Rapid
company which has partially acceded
to the demands of the Brotherhood. The
answer of the Western Union company
to the appeal of the operators was, it
was not known whether the committee
bad authority to speak for the em
ployees of that company.
Campbell said that 90 per cent of the
employees were members of the Broth
erhood. The operators had frequently
presented their grievances to tbe local
managers for an increase of wages but
the had been disregarded. It was gen
erally believed that the Wee tarn Union
company had an established system of
blacklisting men who made application
for an increase of wages and took the
first opportunity of discharging them
from tits employ, upon some pretext
or - another. Favoritism wss shown
by all the local managers skill was at a
discount. A system of intimidation was
practiced by the officials of the com
panr. Since 1870 several movements
bad been started to organize the oper
ators, but all s)s4 failed on account of
hi avatm nf intimidation.
- Campbell also intimated process pf
watering its stock practiced by the
Western Union whenever it. bad
absorbed a competing line. The com'
paoy was now paying at least va per
cent dividends on tbe real value pf its
- stock. He also stated that the work of
an operator was very wearing and
exhausting and men seldom lived long
who eontinuedjin tbe business. Many
left it after following It for a score of
years and this was about the limited

BURN IMG OF THE KISBALIV
The Seatfc's Lair eat Hotel la Aakes
Saaday HoraiBgs Blaze la Atlanta
No Lives Lost aad JEvery Piece of
Baggage Saved Losses, Oae Million
Doll
Sunday morning, at an early hour.Mr.
George ScovlUe, resident proprietor of
the Boford House In this city, received
a telegram from Mr. Levi Sco ville, of
the Kimball House, in Atlanta, convey
ing the startling newa that that mag
nificent hotel had just been burned.
This brief announcement of the de
struction of the largest hotel in the
South, one with which Charlotte people
are familiar, and under whose roof
many of them have slept, created no
little excitement in this place, and the
Buford was crowded all day long with
groups eager to hear everything that
was to be heard. As proprietors of the
Buford House, the Sco villa brothers
have made many warm friends in
Charlotte, and this newa of their great
loss In Atlanta at onee enlisted the
sympathies of our people for them.
A letter received yesterday evening
from Mr. Levi Soo ville, says that the
fire was discovered at half past four
o'clock Sundsy morning, and by eight
o'clock the destruction of the building
was complete. The fire originated in a
paint shop in the basement of the
house, and before tbe firemen could
locate it, it had reached the elsfator,'
up which it leaped with surprising
rapidity to the roof, setting fire to every
floor as it went, The Kimball was an
immense bouse, with 850 rooms; besides
the banks and stores. ' Mr. 8coville had
every guest wakened and made them
leave the house In quiek order. His
corps of servants were made to carry
ont baggage, and it Is a remarkable fact
that every piece of baggage in the
house, except one trunk that belonged
to a guest .w h was absent, wss saved.
Mr. Sol. Haas was the last to leave the
bouse, and be had to get out tn such a
hurry as to leave his Test, containing
bis watch and a roll of money, behind.
Tbe Kimball was located right in tbe
midst of a block of houses, but as there
was no wind, and tbe flames rolled
straight up, no other houses were burn
ed, but how they escaped was sinply a
miracle.
The loss will foot up a round million
of dollars. An Atlanta Constitution
extra says that when it Is remembered
that the hotel cost 600.000. and the fur
niture Sl25.000,the amount of inae ranee
seems strangely inadequate. On the
building sod furniture was only $30,000.
Dr. Joseph Thompson hsd 25.000 on
bis third interest. Tbe Interest of John
Rico is insured by John C Wbitner A
Son for f 2VXXX The Whltners also bad
iSjOooon the ninth interest of Mr. J.
T. Glenn. 'Mr. Joseph Thompson. Jr,
owned a ninth' interest which was in
sured for 15,000 variously distributed.
The ninth interest of General Toombs
was not insured. He carried 1&J00O on
it up to two years ago and then refused
to renew it.
One reason why the owners carried
so little insurance was because of the
very high rate charged. The Kimball
House wss considered the worst risk in
she city. A rate of per cent was
charged on It, while on ordinary central
property only one per cent Is charged.
The Republic block Just opposite wss
insured at 1M per cent, the addition of
L being made because of its proximity
to the hotel.
Mr. Scoville spent 930.000 on improve
ments and furniture when he was pre
paring for the exposition. Ho carried
a policy of . 810.000 on this np to a year
ago, when he declined to renew it, and
at the time of tbe (Ire be hsd only
100, and that In tbe North America.
Mr. Scoville estimates bis lues at from
eiOjooo to 1 15,000. that Is, his direct loss
la the fire, but when the hotel was a
mass of smoking rninsAnd it was found
for certain that not a life had been lost,
he exclaimed. ' "I am the hsppiest man
in Georgia."
The Gate City National Bank was
located in the building, and the safe
was locked with a time lock, which was
set fox 36 hoars on Saturday, and there
fore could not be opened until yesterday
morning fit eight o'clock. There was
In the safe S47.OOO in currency or gold,
and about three quarters of a million
in securities most of which could be
replaced if they were destroyed. The
losses of the .various merchants who
had stoies in the bulldug were heavy,
and were only partially covered by in
surance. ' '.
The Kimball House was opened to
the public on the lTth of October, 1870.
Tbe architect of the building was " a
New York man, and the local superin
tendent was Mr. W. H. Parkins. The
hotel cost, including the furniture with.
the south wing finished only to the
second story, Sa2QjOOOand It was owned
by H. L KUnbalL In building tbe house
he lacked some of the necessary funds,
and had mortgaged the properfy. At
the time of tbe failure of tbe Bruns
wick and Albany Railroad, and on ac
count pf losges by the Chicago fire, he
became embarrassed and fajjed to raise
money with which to carry on his en
terprises; and tbe hotel tfeen fell Into
the hands of tbe mortgagees.
r The house Is to be re-built on a larger
and more Improved plan. - :
A Xluer Arrested aad Jailed tor Rape.
At the Halle mine, just oyer the bor

ago, considerable excitement was creat
ed by a party of lynchers who ware

Joseph Clark. Clark had committed a
a rape . on a white , woman near the
Halle mine. The party were ' bent on
lynching, and had they captured him at
first, he would have been speedily ex
cated. As it was, however, they did
not come up with him until their fever
had cooled down, and better counsel
prevailing, be was escorted to Jail, in
