The Strike Continues,

The favorable reports that the strike on
tn, Burlington Dad was in a fair way to
be settled were rudely dissipatr'. when the
news came that the switciimen and brake
men on the entire 20" system went out on
a strike in support Of the engineers. Their
last strike was inagurated at Chicago
among the switchmen and brakemen en-
ployed by the Chicago, Burlington & Quin-
cy railway. Whispers Of such a move
have been heard ever since the beginning OF
the strike OF the Burlington engineers and
fremen. Considerable active SYM
pathy has been shown by these two
class es OF employees with the engineers and
frernen, and in addition a plea OF self pro.
lection had frequently been entered. The
plea was b a the switchmen and brake
men were in constant danger to life and
limb from the alleged incompetency OF the
engineers and firemen who have taken the
places OF the Burlington members of the
Brotherhood. The switchmen intimate
that they had assurances that none of the
many Knights of Labor among the new
engineers and firemen on the Burlington
would work with non.union switchn.en.
The first art OF violence is reported from

knocked down by Roderick and beaten
badly. The men were arrested and fined
for assault and battery.

A Long Separation.

After a separation OF half a century,
George B. Ryerson and his only child were
reunited at Chicago. During all these
years both believed the other dead. Mr..
Ryerson fifty years ago left his wife and
daughter in Paterson, N. j., and went to
Florida, enlisting as = soldier in the Semi.
mole war. He was wounded, and for many
months he was at the point OF death.
Without friends or money it was a long
time before he reac' cd home. Then he
learned that his wife, believing him dead,
had moved away. No one could tell where
she had gone. After a long, fruitless search
Mr.. Ryerson went to Mexico, remaining
many years. He accumulated considerable
property, and then moved to California,
where he lived until his brother Martin.
discovered him six years ago and induced
him to come to Chicago. Recently Mr..
Ryerson succeeded in tracing his only child.
She is a Mrs. Shurter, and she lives in
Newburg, N. Y. In response to a telegram
she came to Chicago. Her mother died
long ago, and until now she had not the
~faintest suspicion that her father was
alive. Mr.. Ryerson is eishty-three years
OF age.
