the most remarkable ever known, for in it the
strongest single labor organization in existence
has been ptted against the largest railroad cor
poration in the West, and one of the greatest in
mileage and wealth in the world Should
the strikslong continne. it is probable that in
addition to the 400 men directly involved, ths
great majority of the $4,000 employees of the
company will be thrown out of work
the $4,000 members OF tho engineers
Brotherhood throughout the country will be
called upon to contribute os their savings,
and the industries of vast sec
tion of country tributary to the road
subjected to partial paralysis The far-reach-
ing effects of the strike can be inferred from
the fact that the road has six thousand miles of
main and leased lines in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri
and Nebraska From Chicago it reaches to
Denver. over one thousand miles away, and to
Cheyenne. equally far. Minneapolis to the
north and St. Louis to the south are within its
reach-the territory of an empire.
