CHAIRMAN M'ORAIB GIVES
MEN'S SIDE or IE
Leader of strikers' committee gives figures
and^ facts relied upon to justify men in
quitting White Pass shops
Skagway, April 3? To the Editor:?
In jour issue of .March 16. 1907.
there appeared an ar'icle in regard to
the s'rike of the shops force of the
VV. P. & V. R. giving the company's
side of the question. Having been
requested by you to give the strikers
side o f the case, I submit tha following
statement:
In the Prst pl<ce I wish to deny that
at tbe meeticg with Mr. Bahn and the
committee thm he requested the men to
r?ume work until Messrs Btrdoe and
Gr>vescoud he heard from I also
wish to stat- that the schedule of wag<-s
he gave was incomplete and misleading
of wh.ob the followiog is a copy:
W.P.&Y. C.N. N P. C.&P.S.

.Machinist helpers 30c 19c 20-274 22c

Fourth year 37$ ? ? 30c
Cai meu 37$ ? ? 30c
dacasmiths 50c ? ? 36j
Boilermakers 50c ? < ? 40c
I therefore submit the following
schedule of which I have positive proof
wiih official eignmures ntuched.

The N. P. and the C. P. allow one

nights up to 12 o'c'ock and dou'le
time alter -that hour with five hours off
on Saturday.
Helpers in the White Pass sv ops re- J
ceive 50 cents per day less ihan he did i
eight years ago. I have never been
able to Keep a first class helper on ac
count of low w ee?, but have hal to
break in new men wbo hnve never
helped be'ore.
'As chairman of the committee ap
pointed by the strikers t made an extra
effort to settle the strike on March 31.
The committee met Messrs. Ashley,
King and Hahn but c;u!d do nothing
with them in any way bcneficial to the
men.
While the company have secured a
few of the s rikers and oersuaded them
to go back tbey do not effect the cause
in any way as they are mostly helpers
with the exception of three car men
who went back to work at 25 cents per
day less than a laboring man on the
street receives for the same working
time, and at a later meeting of all tbt
mechanics a nnanimous vote was taken
to stand out to the last man for the 20
per cent, raise which they have gone
on strike to procure.
Thankinj you in advance for your
kindness, I remain yours,
LUKE McGRATH, Chairman.
