ploy The whole influence of the Brotherhood
has been to promote sobriety, honesty and JUS
tlce 1t has no desire to promote strikes; on
the contrary, all the expedients for a harmo-
NOUS settlement of any controversy must be
exhausted, before taking action by striking.
Due notice is given in all cases and the trouble
on the New Jersey Central road. of which SO
much was said, simply resulted from the belief
OF the superintendent that "the boys wouldn't
strike. They did strike and passengers were
delayed only because of the negligence Of the
superintendent, who had ample time to pre-
pare.
The strike on the Grand Trunk which result
ed in the success of the engineers, was the only
one, except that on the New jersey road which
Mr. Arthur had seen during his term of office.
Had the corporations heard the grievances
courteously, an amicable settlement might have
been made, as in the case of differences on
twelve other roads which came up for discus.
sion. Coming down to the Boston anu
Maine strike, Mr. Arthur said every plan
for harmonious settlement had been tried ;but
the Brotherhood do not propose to take any un-
due advantage, if they are successful now as III
the last two strikes They will ask no more than
$3.50 as q days wages for the engineer; and
that they may be protected from the malIgnity
of the engine dispatcher, Smith. They request
that the preference of trains and times shall be
given TO the oldest engineers in the service
whenever they are competent men. If Smith
had not been perjured villain, abusing and
cursing men who are his betters, and in posi-
ton to keep engineers out of their rights, this
would not have been asked To ask it is no
dictation, for it is principle everywhere recog-
nized as fair and just, La closing, the spe .ker
referred to the character of men placed in
charge of the engines by the Boston and Maine
road, and arraigned the Old Colony road for
aiding the cooperation by sending two men. If
this corporation can interfere in question be-
tween the employees and the officers of another
corporation, the men on the Old Colony have
an equal right to stop work on that road as
protection to their brethren. Great appause.)
Let the Boston and Maine company and the
B Brotherhood fight it out, and not extend the
trouble. The Brotherhood was never better
protected than low; and the grass will grow
over the tracks of the Boston and Maine road
before they will submit to the oppression and
tyranny which it would impose on the engin-

CONSERVATIVES, TAKE NoTICE.-Every moment
of delay makes your cure more hopeless, and much
depends on the judicous choice of a remedy. The
amount Of testimony in favor of Dr. Schenck's Pull
monte Syrup, as for consumption, far exceeds
all that be brought to support the pretensions of
any other medicine. See DR.. Schenck's Almanac,
containing the certificates of many persons of the
highest responsibility, who have been restored to
health, after being pronounced incurable by physi-
clans of acknowledged ability. Sehenck's Pulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many, these evidences will
will show but the cure is often promoted by the
poyment of two other remedies which DIR. Schenck
provides for the purpose. These additional remedies
are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.
By the timely of these medicines, according to
directions, Dr. Schenck certifes that most any case
of Consumption may be cured.
DR.. Schenck is professionally at his principal office
Cor, Sixth and Arch Sts. Philadelphia, every Mon
day, where all letters for advice must be addressed
