', That the employee at the railways nutter most and most directly by any diminution in railway revenues is a tact which the employee themselves in the mass have been very slow to iunderstand, but it seems as it they were awakening to the fact at last in earnest. At Intervals, during the last two years, the employee of certain states have banded together to make their political influence felt in opposiâ€" tion to unti- railway legislation in Minnesota, in Iowa and In Kansas among the western states, employer's clubs have done themselves and the railways good service in the past. Now, alter the bitter experience or the last iew years, the employers all over the country are rising in protest ‘ against the renewed bitterness ot the granger attacks In several states the railway men of all classes are fighting .vigorously the various legislative raids on railway revenues which are threatâ€" 'ened. Best 0! all has been the con- ciusion reached at the union meeting of the diflerent railway labor orders at Little Rock, Ark, when a resolution was adopted calling on members oi all orders to oppose legislation which would further reduce railway earnings. in Illinois.
