WHAT MIR. BARRY SAYS.
A dispatch from Detroit says: John
McSGinn, chief Of the local division Of
Locomotive Engineers, told reporter
Yesterday afternoon that the report of
impending strike of the engineerso the
Michigan Central was incorrect, and that
he did not think such strike would
occur. I. B. Barry, OF the General Exec
utive Board OF the Knights Of Labor,
passed through here yesterday for the
North. He said the 30" strike wasal-
ready virtual failure, and that the men
would neversucceed unless they tied up
every road handling the companys cars.
Said he: "The Brotherhood should tie
up any road as soon us it undertakes to
handle 'Q' cars. This is the only way in
which they can win this fight, as the
90 system is now able to get along with
out them, but there are not scab
engineers enough to man the other roads
II a general tie-up takes place. 1t would
be folly for the general of an army to
allow one regiment to be annihilated in
an engagement when he has an army in
reserve which il brought TO the front
would settle the fight in his favor In
short order"
The correspondent asked ii this were
done il it would not paralyze the busi-
ness OF the country.
"Well, all have got to say as to that" j"
said. Barry, sis that II the present policy
OF catering to public opinion is con-
tinued the stomachs OF many Of the en-
gineers and their families will become
paralyzed with hunger. Ny experience
has taught me that God and pub.
lie opinion are with those on top, and
nv advice to workingmen in general is
not to strike until they have to, but when
they do strike to lick the other fellow,
because II Is either lick or get licked"
Chief Arthnr was asked tonight what
he thought OF the decision Of the Sante
Fe men to return to work. lam glad
they went back" he said, II advised
them TO 20 back because did not think
there was sufficient reason for q strike.

chairman OF the grievance. committee
and asked him to request the mon TO re-
turn to work and then come to Chicago
to settle the matter with Mr.. Smith"
TROUBLE HARMoNIzED.
The threatened clash between the
PestofIice Department and the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe company was averted
by amicable agreement early to-day, be-
fore the strike was declared off by the
Brotherhood. T. L. Nash, Cen

ing, in explanation Of the matter that
Vice President Smith has directed his
men to see that the mails were moved
promptly over the Company's lines and
that whenever they found it impossible

freight, but who were willing to lanl the
mails, that they be ordered out with tho
mails only. i. So
