| positive assurance JnaL a very t9W OF Ine1r
men will obey the brotherhood's behest in
case strike is ordered.
The brotherhood men profess to believe
| that the Northwestern road is inclined to
yield to their demand, and that there is
feeling among the strikers not to hurry
matters in that quarter. The strikers here
admit that there was a hitch of some
sort in carrying out the in
tentions of the executive committee
relative to the railroad operators strike
and that the Western men, to whom the
secret orders of the brotherhood are con-
fded, have made mistake of some sort,
or have mistaken instructions.

tendent of the telegraphers of the Wa
