The trouble between carriage manufactur-
ers and body makers promises to extend this
week TO other branches of business and the
strike become general. Three shops have
notihed their body makers to return to work
tomorrow or remove their tools. Other shops
are expected to issue the same order imme-

prletors. The Carriage Workmen's Union
has retaliated by ordering out all the paint.

Locomotive Engineers drew about 800 men,

was held at 10 o'clock this morning and a
public meeting this evening. The evening
meeting was largely attended. 1t was opened

introduced by j. F. Brennan. chief of the
Hartford division. Chief Arthur was receiv-

headed and outspoken speech, which was
frequently interrupted by applause. He
made brief remarks on the rise and growth of
brotherhood had reformed men, avoided
strikes wherever officers of the roads had
met committee fairly and only when con-
ference bad been denied had a strike taken
place. The order had compelled engineers
to be sober or forfeit their membership. and
had thus done greater service to the railroad

they had let their EMPLOYERS pursuade them
not to join the order and had been rewarded
by cut of 10 per cent. in wages.
The brotherhood does not, said Arthur,
believe in dictatlon. They expect to encoun-
ter difficulties in the spirit of truth and fair
ness, and have a respectful hearing. The
rights of capital must be respected as well as
those of labor. 1t had been told him that he
was reported in East St. Louis in conference
with the Knights of Labor; at that time he
was in Cleveland. He has been quoted as
opposed to the eight-hour law. He was mis-
quoted; he had said that working men should
