CHICAGO, March S.-The railroad strike
has assumed a new phase.
The following application for an order
was filed before Judge Gresham this
morning:
"ChaIles E. Doors ct al. vs. Wabash, St.
Louis & Pacific Railway ct al. United
States Circuit Court, Northern district Of
Illinois.
"Come now the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railroad Company and D. E.
Richardson, by their solicitors, and pre-.
sent their petitions to this court, praying
for an order Of the court, requiring the
receiver Of the court, appointed herein,
and his agents, officers and employees to
perform his duties as q public carrier, as
respects traffic with such petitioner aud
also for an order restraining the ssaocia-
ton commonly called the Brotherhood oil
Locomotive Engineers and lts officers and
agents, and especially one P. N. Arthur,
lts chief executive officer, as charged In
said petition, from in any way giving any
orders to the engineers in the employ OF
the receiver for them TO refuse to 6aul
loaded cars coming 10 ChiCago from the
railroad in charge OF said receiver, and
also praying for an order to punish the
said Arthur for contempt Of court, unlRw-
fully interfering with the administration
Of the property in the custody Of the court
In this cause.
"Whereupon the court orders said Pc
tition, together with the sfidavlts and pa
pers in support thereof, to be filed, and
the said application is set for hearing at
O'Clock P. n. Of March 8, 1888, and ii is or
dered that notice Of such application be
forthwith served on the receiver or his 60
licitor."
1t is understood that General McNulta
will simply remain passive in the matter.
A strong fight in court sgainst the Bur-
lington'a petition will be made neverthe-
lees. It will be conducted under the aus.
piCes Of the Brotherhood. They have en-
gagged Alexander Sullivan and his part
ner, Thomas g. Window. Il is doubtful
whether Mr.. Sullivan will be able to be
present in court tomorrow, as tonight he
was in Springfield on business before the
State Supreme Court. Ex.Secretary Of
War Robert T. Lincoln will sppear for
General McNults.
Alter the injunction proceedings we're
begun to-day the strikers quit striking for
o time. Their cauCuses and conferences
adjourned without action, and everybody
talked to everybody else without any
special object in view. Altogether the
men seemed glad that the matter had gol
into court, and confidence was renewed
on all sides that there would now be 9
speedy settlement Of the strike.
YOUNG HOODS PUSHING.
The Grievance Committee Of four road

The indications arc that a crisis is i'm

number OF roads that will be involved. /

the trouble would soon be ended. Whel
