The c. B. T. Q. Strike.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. "a 1t is
stated that the Chicago. Burling-
ton & Quincy engineers will GER
tainly strike tomorrow for the
increase in wages asked for some
days since.
The strike will be for the same
scale of wages as that paid by the
Chicago & Alton and Santa Fe
system-3 cents per mile regard
less of the class of engines. Ne
gotiations have been pending
for three weeks but peaceable
settlement seems to be out of the
question.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb 10
The impending strike of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers on the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy road, was to-day the
topic of conversation among the
striking Reading employees. There
were many bitter denunciations of
Chief Arthur who is reported to
have said when asked if he had
considered the contingency Of the
Reading engineers filling the strik
ers places: "If the company con-
cludes to hire that class of men it
is their-b2siness not ours"
Chicago, Feb, 27.-The engi-
neers and 6remen Throughout the
whole B. & M. system struck at
a o'clock this morning. The SUBJ
urban trains we're the only, ones to
come over the B. &M. road up to 10
o'clock this morning, and the
engines of these were in charge of
officials of the road.
Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. Only FIVE
suburban trains on the Burlington
road came in this morning and
one pulled out. Thus far FIVE old
engineers are reported loyal to the
company. ~

The New League.

In response to the call in the
ENQUIRER regarding the formation
of new socialist organization in
Denver a number of socialists met
at the office of the ENQUIRER on
Monday evening last.
1t was explained to those pres
ent that the cause of the new de-
parture was the desire to allay
the dissatisfaction which has been
very manifest within the ranks of
the Rocky Mountain Social League
for some months back. Dissatis-
faction had crept in because some
of the more backward in the sci
enti6c and more advanced phase
of the economic problem failed to
get the drift of the. teachings of
the leaders in the League.
Coupled with the very advanced
ideas of the majority of the League
speakers was a slight disposition
to be just a triie intolerant and
unfair towards those who held
opinions at variance with their
own.
This undoubtedly resulted from
the fact that all scientific people
have natural tendency towards a
sort of contempt for those who

The movement on foot in the
Trades Assembly looking towards
the building by organized labor oi
a hall for meeting purposes is one
which should be agitated and en-
couraged by every man who de-
sires to see labor thoroughly uni
ted. The great saving in rent
alone would be but a very small
part of the benefit to be derived
from the possession by the labor
people Of their own hail.. 1t would
be OF inestimable value as a means
of uniting all the trades and lab or
organizations into a compact
whole. The very fact of labor
organizations owning their own
place Of meeting would add a
weight which is at present en-
tirely lacking. Let every man
who can realize the great benefit
to be derived from the possession
by organized labor of its own hall
agitate the matter both in and
out of his union.

HE HAD HONEY.

Several months since Charles
Henry young gambler and
sport" shot end killed a sixteen
|year-old girl in a Denver variety
theater. The act was deliber-
ate. cold-blooded, unjusti6able.
Henry's trial took place few
days ago and he was turned loose.
Emotional insanity" wealthy re-
lations and the $1,000 he had in
has possession when arrested
cleared him. He goes forth free
to slaughter other victims simply
and solely because he had money
and wealthy relations. No more
brutal or unprovoked murder can
be found recorded in the bloody
annals of Colorado crime. And
yet it has got to be such matter
of-fact affair to see rich muir
derergo free that scarcely ripple
of comment occurs when a red
handed butcher like Charles
Henry goes forth free man.
The effort made by district
attorney, Rhodes. (the fellow who
attends "nigger prize fights to
prosecute(3) Henry was so shame
fully, criminally weak that the
daily subsidized press did not
dare to give report of it.
Had Henry's victim been rich
instead Of a poor, friendless vari-
ETY. girl, a person with friends and
money, he would be to-day at
least serving out a life sentence in
the state penitentiary. And yet
people of superficial minds affect
to wonder why there is a growing
contempt for laws and judges and
the whole rotten paraphanalia of
modern so-called courts of law.

THE BURLINGTON STRIKE.

II the locomotive engineers
win the strike they have inau-
gurated on the Burlington rail-
road it will be a heavy blow to
organized labor; therefore my
most heartfelt wish is that the To-
comotive engineers lose the strike.
1t must be acknowledged, though,
that 1t looks at this writing very
favorable for the engineers.
The wish that they might lose
is not inspired by knowledge of
the fact that the brotherhood have
seabbed it on the Reading, or that
they helped Powderly to complete
the disgraceful fasco of the South
west strike; neither is it inspired
by thoughts of their traitorous
conduct which lost the Rio Grande
strike two years ago.
The man who can wish his fel-
low workingman defeat simply
from a miserable, contemplate
desire tor revenge and for the sake
OF getting even" on some old
score is unworthy the name of
man. The man who would wish
the Burlington engineers defeat
simply because certain members

been arrived at asto make it pos
sible to enter the higher or scien-
ti6c school-hence the starting Of
a new League. a5.
h Frwas not sought to start an OPP
Portion organization, but simply
to make harmony possible in the
ranks of reform in Denver. The
proposed new League would work
in harmony with all when anything
of general interest, for instance
the Commune celebration, was on
hand. The new wished the old
League God-speed in its work
and entertained those wishes
towards all who are honestly in
the fight for justice. The new
League, it was explained, would
not or could not clash in any way
with the old nor with the German
socialistic organization. As a
matter of fact, it augured well for
the agitation to see three different
socialistic organizations in thecity
inasmuch as a city of 5000 in
habitants ought to fill the ranks
quickly, as men and women are
being driven whether they will OF
no towards socialism.
After the explanatory remarks,
the meeting proceeded to the
election of officers, ]. D. Keifer
being chosen as chairman and
Mrs. F. A. Collar as secretary,
with D. M. Leahy as treasurer Of
the new organization. 1t was de-
cided that the League should be
known as the Denver Social

ings would be held every Sunday
evening. Committees to secure a

with the German soclalistic club,
regarding the Commune celebra-

in unity alone is there strength.
The history Of civilization shows
that there have been few. very few
men who, alone. individually, have
accomplished any great undertake
ing. The throwing off of the
English yoke by the colonists in
|'76, the wiping out of chattel
slavery. the building Of a Brook
lyn bridge. the jettying of Miss
issippi or the earnering of a mill
ion-acre wheat farm are demon
strative of the fact that men in
order to accomplish any great
object must be united and work
harmoniously.
Horse sense philosophy has
taught labor that to achieve her
emancipation she must ants her
sons by one bond Of sympathy
and union of interests.
The locomotive engineers have,
despite the endeavors of honest,
earnest men, refused to affiliate
in a spirit of true brotherhood with
any other branch of labor. They
have, through their aristocratic
head, openly. boastfully stated
that they would make no alliance
with any other labor organization.
They, through Mr.. Arthur the
wealty gentleman who apparently
controls them, have set it down
as one of their fundamental prin-
ciples that there can be no interest
in common between the two-dol-
lar-a-day shoveler in the ditch and
the four-dollar-a-day locomotive
engineer. The locomotive engi-
neers have in effect said this:
1--WE are an organization that
can stand alone. We will have
no connection with any organ
ization on earth. We do not
believe in solidarity. We are a
superior class of gentlemen de-
string no communicating touch of
shoulders with the plebeian herd
of ordinary labor. We are
supreme. We are locomotive
engineers"
This, of course, as will be ad-
mitted by all who have sense
enough to understand a self-evi-
dent proposition, is a wrong con-
ception of their exact importance
in the divine economy of nature
and of art. 1t betrays state of
woful ignorance when any man or
set of men pretend to say or be-
lieve that he or they can stand
alone.
1t is necessary that all men and
women who labor be brought to
realize that in joining of forces, in
amalgamation, in complete uni
fcation of labor alone lies deliver
ance and safety.
The locomotive engineers will
not, judging from their actions in
the past, be brought to a full
knowledge of the truth that in
unity alone is there real strength
without their being dosed with
the drastic medicine of a crushing
defeat.
The locomotive engineers need
a lesson and they need it badly.
The attitude assumed by them
towards labor is merely the result
of superficial pride mixed in with
narrow mindedness and sel6shness.
Education alone will rid them of
their superhciality aud sel6shness.
The sincere desire to see theloco-
motive engineers come out onto
the open and Underground where
organized and federated Labor
stands to do battle all as one host
compels me to hope sincerely and
earnestly that the Burlington en-.
gineers may lose their strike and
win little regard for true brother
hood. If the engineers win organ
lied labor will lose, and vice versa.
