two bosses, 1t made the With District moro sodly

that the bill Will also pass the Senate The protests

SWITCHMEN QUITTING WORK.
A NEW STRIKE ON THE BURLINGTON ROAD.

ALLEGING INCOMPETENCE OF THE NEW ENGiNhhn'
THE BnAKEMEN EXPECTED TO LEAVE THEIR
TRAINS.
Chicago, March 23.-At exactly 1? O'Clock TO
night strike was begun among the sN'tnmen
employed by the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy
Railway. Whispers of such a move have been
heard ever since the beginning Of the strike OF
the Burlington engineers and firemen. Not until
the last few days, however, did the rumors assume
tangible shape. Vcrifcaton of the reports was
lacking and to-day the importance at first attached
to the matter had dwindled almost to nothing.
The inactivity at the headquarters Of the engineers
and firemen all day and evening was so noticeaoie
as to cause the remark that it was studied, but
no outsider it is safe to say, expected
the surprise that was IN store.
The impression was that the strike was generh
over the entire Burlington system, and would In
clude the brakcmen The basis for this suppo-
sition was the fact that cmissaries from Chicago
and elsewhere are known to have been at work
among the switchmen and brakemcn along the en-
tire line of road for some time past. Consider
able active sympathy has been shown by those two
classes of employees with the engineers and hremen
and in addition plea Of self protection has ire
quently been entered.
The plea for the strike was that the swltchmeh ne.
and brakemen were in constant danger 10 nic
and limb from the alleged Incompetence OF tne
engineers and fremen who have taken tne places
of the Burlington members of the Brotherhood.
