Bloomington (IN) Newsletter, April 7, 1855, p. 2. NOTE: The item below was abbreviated from the original as noted by the ellipsis. MEETING OF THE RAILROAD EMPLOYEES Resolutions passed in the meeting held at the court house of New Albany, March 28, 29 and 30 by the mechanics employed by the New Albany and Salem Railroad Company in the City of New Albany. Whereas we have not been regularly paid since the month of September 1854, and when we received any pay at all, we received it in small sums and frequently in state stock money upon which we were subject to be shaved from five to twenty-five cents on the dollars, and whereas we have been so contented until it was suggested by the superintendent of the machine shop of said road at the City of New Albany that he had received instructions from the president of the road, Mr. Brooks, to make it known that the company will not be able to pay us hereafter except with due bills payable in three and six months after date with interest. In consequence of which a meeting was called to make some arrangements, if possible, with the company to pay us what is due to us at the present time. Therefore, it was resolved that none of us will strike another blow for the New Albany and Salem Railroad Company until we have received all the moneys due to us from said railroad company.
