CHICAGO, March THE full support Of
the entire Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers and Firemen has been pledged to
their members On any and all roads through
out the United States who deemed 1t neces-
sary to strike and finally decided to do so
in order to uphold their brothers on
the Chicago Burlington q Quincy.
This information was obtained this evening
on the best of authority, and was verified
through another source. It can also be stated
on authority that the general meeting OF the
local grievance committees of the various
roads held to-day had convened
for the purpose of discussing the advisable
ity of a strike on that particular road, and
as such a radical step was not considered
measures in lieu thereof should be adopted.
The sanction of the general eXecu-
tive of the brothrhOOd, thus
given in advance of the strike
obtained at the meeting of the grievance
committee of the brotherhood held here
Monday. 1t no longer rests with Chiefs
Arthur and Sargent to say the
strike, will be backed by the brotherhood in
whole. The men on q single railway system
or systems now not only have it in their
power to strike, but also to strike with the
whole might Of the brotherhood behind
them.
NO UNDUE HASTE.
That the men are not disposed to use with
undue haste the weapons IN their grasp may
be partly inferred from the fact
! that although several meetings
were held to-day, each clothed
with complete authority to declare
a strike affecting vast stretch Of territory,
| no such declaration had been made up to
this evening. At least two meetings of the
| kind mentioned are known to have been
! held in this city to-day. Others have been
| convened at Rock Island, Omaha and Kan
sas City.
SECRET MEETING.
! To-day and tonight a secret meeting OF
| the chairmen of the grievance committees
/ of all the roads running between here and
/ Chicago was in session at the Albany hotel.
| The strike committee took part in the DELHI
/ eratiOns, and 1t is thought that important &C
/ ton of some kind was discussed. The
meeting was still in session at 10 o'clock to-
night, and nothing lad been learned of the
| subjects discussed.

DECLINE IN MISSOURI PACIFIC.
Tuesday, March 20--p. M

The stock market suffered to-day more from
fright than from any real developments The centre
OF attraction was Missouri Pacihc, which was
aroused to activity evidently for no other reason
than the announcement Of the expected arrival OF
Mr. Jay Gould, president q the company, in
Florida. The annual report WAS published yester-
dav. and, In spite Of harsh criticisms, tho stock
immediately advanced over / per cent half
OF this iuprovement was lost at the opening this
morning but the first price was the highest Tor
the day and although there were slight rallies,
the decline from So l-2 to so 7S was not seriously
obstructed. The popular impression In Wau-st,
of course was that the selling was for the account
of Mr. Gould who logically must have been
greatly surprised on his return from Europe 10
find the company In the bad shape which It's
enemies said that IL must certainly be in. There
is no evidence that the chief executive OF the
company has not been fully Informed OF It's con-
dtion during his absence in Europe but there
Is great doubt whether anything has happened IN
the few days he has been deprived of telegraphic
facilities TO cause him to throw his considerable
holdings of the stock a anguid market 10
support the hypothesis, however. Western Union
was made the second stock in the downward
movement, although it was not much more active
than it was yesterday. 1t closed 3s per cent
lower.
Aside from the so-called Gould stocks the specu-
lation was without feature. The most OF yester-
days improvement was lost under the influence
of their weakness but the only other active shares
were those IN which the short interest is known
to be the largest Reading. St. Paul Lake Shore,
Lacllawanna and Union Pacific were the most
vulnerable points apparently for they were as
saulted with the greatest vigor. Their hnal
losses were les than per cent, and the average
decline in the general list was about "a per cent
The volume Of business was less than IL was
Yesterday and It WAS popularity OF the market
that many usually prominent stocks seemed 70
