ARTHUR WILL SETTLE 1T.
Do you think there will be any
trouble on the c., b. & O., and that
the engineers and firemen will strike?"
"No, sir, / do not"
"Have you read the reports to that
effect ?"
Eyes, but / believe the presence of
Chief Arthur will bring about an
amicable settlement of all differences
that NAV exist"
What will Mr.. Arthur's presence
have to do with the firemen ?"
Possibly nothing; but the fremen
are with US"
The action of the grievance COM
mittee furnished the principal theme
of conversation on the streets during
the forenoon, and not a few were
found who expressed the belief that
the strikers had been dealt a heavy
blow by the committees action.
NOT MUCH SCARED.
A member of the X. of L., when
informed of the stand taken by the
engineers, said i:
"That is all we'll enough, but it
does not alarm us in the least. We
have assurances that the company
cannot run trains. There are two in
terpretations of the word violence
If one of our boys should request an
engineer not to take train out-re-
member, now, say request-that
would probably be taken as an indica-
ton that violence was to be attempted
and l am satisfied a majority of The
engineers running into Sedalia would
leave their engines under such circum-
stances. Others, probably, would
wait until they were pulled off
before they would think vio-
lence was to be intended. Thus, you
see, there are two interpretations to
the word, and we are not scared"
THE FIREMEN ALL RIGHT.
Chow about the firemen?"
"Oh, they are all right. They are
with us.
land the brakemen?"
There can be no question about
their being in sympathy with the
strikers"
An engineer who has been running
for twenty years, in referring to the
action the fremen and brakemen will
take in the present struggle, said:
1.-The firemen are with the engi-
neers. Many reports to the contrary
have been published, but they are
false"
Where do the brakemen stand !?
Thew can be depended upon. The
strikers have our sympathy, but we
have no grievances and we are anxious
to get to work"
AID FOR THE STRIKERS.
From a member of the h. OF L..
executive committee it was learned
that the strikers received financial aid
Yesterday from sympathiz-rs at st.
Paul, Mimi, and Vincennes, Ind.
They also received aid from mer,

and there is no reason why we should
