CLEVELAND, December 2S.-The fol-

to the agent of the associated press this
evening: "The strike now in operation
on the leased lines of the Pennsylvania
railroad company, is in direct violation
of the rules of the brotherhood of loco
motive engineers. My advice to every
member of the brotherhood that has
quit work on account of the strike, is
to go to work at once, and to use
every influence in their power to
induce all persons engaged in
the strike to resume work and
desist from any interference with
the company's property or men.
In my opinion no dishonOr will be at
tached to any man who accepts a stu
alton from the Pennsylvania company
during their present difficulties.
