ARTHURON THE SCENE
IN CONFERENCE WITH The STRIKE LEAD
FRS YESTERDAY.
Speculation as 10 tho Probable Action Of the Engineers
The Difficulty Entering a New Phase
Relations With the K. Of The
Proposed Compact

CHICAGO, April 1O.-Chief Arthur has
returned to the headquarters Of the striking
Burlington engineers and firemen. Hear
rived in the city this morning from Cleve-
land and went at once into conference with
Chief Sargent and Chairman Hoge. The
arrival of Mr.. Arthur was an event Of in.
terest to the strikers and railroad officials
alike, as it was generally assured that
with bis presence the strike on the Bur
lington would enter upon new phase.
The consultation lasted quite long while,
and during it admittance was denied every
body. Speculation ran rife as to whether
the Chief had come on to try and end the
disaetssus warakre, IwhicA ahas Bee6 k6fhg
on for 90 many weeks, or to advise the men
to hold out. He is really in the hands Of
the men and cannot order the strike of,
but he sees that the engineers ere fighting
a losing game he can advice them to give
in and then it rests with the men them
selves as to the course they will pursue.
Mr.. Arthur was asked "Is there any
truth in the report that the Knights of
Labor and the Brotherhood have patched
up q peace and that the Knights will
order general strike on the Burlington
road?"
THAT is something that know nothing
about. If the Knights Of Labor are con-
templsting any such action they have not
informed me of it. As far as patching up
peace is concerned l will simply say this:
That there never has been any just ground
Of enmity between the organizations. /
have been grossly misrepresented in this
matter, but l have set forth the true
facts in the case to Mr. Powderly.
and there is now better under
standing between US. 1t was claimed
during the strike on the Reading road that
| supplied Brotherhood men TO take the
places of the striking Knights. This is
absolutely false. as did not interfere in
the matter at all. In fact, when work
man in fight for the betterment Of his
condition goes out on strike, | regard
the man who will under such circum-
stances take his place as unworthy.
