Do Not Care for Petting.

Texas Siftings. The strike of the Central Railroad men, who have been pfitjted by the Vanderbilts and by C’bauffcey Depew, proves that workingmelt, do not wiuit petting, gift clubs and presents of free reading rooms. They are like the whaling mate who refused to drink with his captain. “All 1 want,” said he, “is plain, common, or’nary, every day politeness from you, and darned little of that,” The Central people want fair wages, to be paid regularly, and the right to organize in Unions for their own protection. Refuse either of these demands and petting and gift clubs do not count for a cent in their estimation or gratitude.
