ARTHUR COMES TO TERMS
HIS MEN ORDERED OFF OF THE
READING ENGINES.

VIII Be Ordered in the West
CHICAGO, March IA dispatch from Nc
Cook, Neb, says: "Several coaches and
mail cars were brought in from the East
over the Burlington road last evening in
charge of a United States Marshal and
twenty-five deputies. Some of these went
West with deputies, while other deputies
remained here and stood guard around the
depot. Four engineers were arrested and
taken TO Omaha on a charge of obstructing
the mails. These men had nothing to do
with the removal of the non-union engineer
from train on Monday. Everything is
quiet here, and has been all the time"
BAD FOR THE BROTHERHOOD.
One hundred and seventy tiremen arrived
from the East at 40 o'clock this morning
| for the Burlington road. If the Reading
men keep coming as they are doing at pres
| ent it will be hardly possible for the
| Brotherhood to maintain their ground. The
| fight this time seems to be as much between
| labor and labor as between labor and capi-
| tai, Notwithstanding Mr.. Powde rly's mani
| festo. Through trains have been got in
| and out without interference, and the num-
bers of these have been increasing, until to-
day quite large number are reported
The freight end Of the roads business,
| which up to the present has given the most
| trouble and presented the most serious diff
Guilty to grapple with, Is being tackled to-
day and freights this afternoon were NOV
ing all over the four States of Iowa, Ne
braska, Missouri and Illinois
BREAKING THE LUMBER BLOCKADE.
This morning four switch engines, man
ned by new engineers and firemen, loft the
round house, One of them proceeded
directly to the lumber district and pulled
| out Burlington lumber train which had
| lust been made up when the strike took
| place After this train had been hauled TO
| the freight yards the engine returned to the
| district and began the work Of taking out
| lumber for other roads In few hours the
! crowded condition of the lumber tracks
| was relieved. A lumber train of sixty-three
cars was the only freight train the company
succeeded in sending out of the city to-day,
| but they expect to get another one started
during the night.
