Grand Haates Sargent. OF the IRE
mems brotherhood, 0ss the FIRST speak.
er. lie stated tEst be came NOT oniy a
the representative Of the 6remen bp,
also 10 ysice the views OF Chief Arth1r,
Of the engineers. The strike on the
Burlington vas jnst cause, and they
had used every honorable means 20
treat With the company. With such Q
record bshino them II would not be
pf0pef3of the strikers 10 stand BY and
see helpless geople suffer from the base
pfact oes Of the company. He urged,
therefore, that the boycott b raised
and that tbs Qaincy be deprived OF its
most DANGEROUS weapon.
General Manager Je6fy, Of the I'LL
ncis Central, told the men Of the dis
aasers that would follow . general lie.
up. ard appealed to them 10 shield their
fellows from euch indiction. He sajd
his comvsuy would NOT consent 10 8
general biacklistin2 Of the Burlington
strikers by the railroads. and b would
use his 10 fluecoe with th4 managers Of
railroads toward the same result.
6rand Master Aonschan, Of The
Svitohnan's Association, emphasized
the points OF the t~o preceding speak.
ers % well, thet the boycott vas de-
clafed raised, and the meeting decided
to redouhis the fghs against the Bar
iineton. Everybody connected With The
system who csnla be called out would
oe, and one embarrassment after an
ctter vas TO be enforced. Oommittees
were eeEt cut at ouce TO visit the en-
eials Of the dinefent roads, and later
they reported that ell the lineo bad 90
cepted.
By Overwhelming the Burlington with
busiDess the engineers urge that il WtlI
5000 be demonstrated that it Il by no
meaps rfepaied to handle u with the
Be~ hands row in its employ. The Plea
of tie Burlir aton thst the places Of tie
strikers havs all been filled, and copse.
Quepiiy that IL has nothing to aYhisrate,
toe engineers think viii &c demolishod,
and the company will be compelled 70
arti,rate the question at issue. When
the appointed time came this morning
for cessation Of the strike on the 81.
Paul, all the old heuds. nfemen, euRi.
neeFs and svitctmsn, presentsd them
selves for duty. and the usual course Of
things. So far as tue Mllsaukee and 81.
Paul company 10 coneeFsed, was re-
suued at once.
Al the Fort Wayne yards there was
a hitch. and the strike on that road con
tinued. The engineers and nsemen
were ready 10 carry out the understand
inc. but the sWtfchmen we're sbdura.e.
Al 3 O'Clock. however, everything vas
satisfactorily arranged, and tho Bar
linRton boycott vas apparently every
where at az end.
