Western Union Capital.
N. Y. Time , .
If there lie tiny provision in the statute
or common law of time atato of New York
for conmpolling the Western Union telegraph -
graph company to put an cad to limo
enormous injury it is inflicting upon time
business community by its refusal to
propose any aljuetntent of time chains of
its cmiiploycs , it should bo applied. If
the injury be allowed to 6o on much
longer , ma effort will umidoubtedl be
nmado to secure a decision of than ucetiun
rand , if time law permit , a compulsory
tloment of time difficulty. Meanwhile
the company's officers must see that time
eentimemotime great body of the public
is one of imi ratcondomi ationotheir
course. Time action of the telegraphers
ese , far , been strictly legal , ad no
mens extreme or uneasnble. ho
petition presented to the company was
immoderate ; no ultimatum was announced ;
no threat was made ; time way was not
closed to a compronliso. When time
comnpauy flatly refused to pay time alighnt-
est attention to this petition , mad not
only ignored the cominittco tnrou brim
winch it was presented , but declared time
intention of breaking up the o Is ganira-
tion by which alone its employes
could hope to exercise any iufluomco on
the company , the telegraphers left their
work ; but they did so in a perfectly or
e erly manner , and they have conducted
thonmsclvea since in a law-abiding , self-
respecting way which speaks much for
their intelligence and cltarieter. There
has been no dictation no attempt to ju-
teFfero witha the property' of the con-
pany , not even any demmunciation of
tlto company , mind there has been not
this slightest intimilidatioi of any one who
sought to take time place of a striking
telegrapher. Time strike haa been free
from every one of time objectionable fea-
turee which usually mark strikes. It has
been einply a fair , straightforward effort
to got what time tclegrnplmers have thought
was lust. It has won , amid deserves , time
respect of all fair-mninded meat.
On the other hand , time company which
immeolently mad arbitrarly refuses to oven
consider the propositions of moo who
wore just as much entitled to present
their claims as time company was to put
fgward its own line been guilty of frc-
gimeimt and outrageous violation of its ob
hgatioie to time com nmmity. It is a well-
settled principle of equity , and to a great
extent it is a priuciplo of law , that cot-
potato franchises carry with them time ob-
li aton to exercise theuu for time great-
eat advantage consisting with a
fair profit uPo' , actual
capital and expenditure. That principle
hna been steadily , ) oponlym and defiantly
violated by tim 'Wcstgrn' Union corpora-
tion. It is to-day , by a subterfuge which
fs in effect and intent a deliberate cent
tontpt of the courts of time state , paying
a dividend a om millions of stock
not represent actual investment for
more than fraction of Its nmount. The
Herald recently showed bycitati4mi from
docunicdts , tit"accurac of which has
not been dis muted tlmt the nemiinal capital -
ital of the company , ou whicls it as
a G tier cent dividend , ! ms been swollen
by a series , of inflations of time
most transprent and unjustifiable
charactor. Coinmencing in 1858 with a
paid in capital of loss than $400,000 ,
there were scrap dividends in that year of
447.7 tor cent ; in 1802 there was another
of 27.26 pcr cent ; in 1803 there were two
more of 133.33 per cent , bringing time
nenlnal capital up to $7,050,760. In
those five years time company hid paid
all oxpetses of operation and oxtensioi
of lilies , and divided , ever and above time
ordinary dividends , ver $7600,000. In
other ords its profits for five ears pal
boon very nearly twentY times its original
ca ital.
Since its ostabliehmeut time company
has issued for time 1 surchisoof time
Telegraph company's franchises , stock to
the autount of $1,270,260 ; fortho United
States company , $7,210,300 ; for time
American company , $11',833,400 ' ; for time
American Union conpamy , $15,000,000 ;
for time Atlantic tC Pacific , $8,400,000 ,
and in its recent tmnsactiome , for whicli
time courts are trying to call it to no-
count , $15,500,000 , Of These $58-
S morb or less , not more

By time construction most favorable to time

of its emnpployes Would miot reduce its en-
