CHICAGO, March "a The Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy strike took on a new
phase last night when a meeting Of the
Switchmen's Union was held at the
West Twelfth street Turner Hall, and
it was decided to call out all the
switchmen in the employ Of that con-
pany In this city At the same time other
meetings were held along the lines, and as
consequence all the night switchmen en-
ployed by the Burlington on its main lines
and branches went out at midnight This
stopped all freight trains from leaving the
yards, and all of the engines were run into
the round houses and business was prac-
tically suspended At O'Clock this morn
ing very few of the striking switchmen
were found hanging around the yards and
every thing was quiet One of the strikers
said:
1--WE have been contemplating this move
ever since the engineers and hremen struck
We at last came TO the conclusion that
in order to bring the company to terms
we would be obliged TO strike We left
our places at midnight and the day men viii
quit this morning at o'clock. We are
in earnest in this matter, and propose TO see
this thing through to the end. and will remain
out until the engineers are victorious over the
Burlington :"
Another striker said:
"This will bring the Burlington folks to
terms with the engineers. This is only half Of
1t. To-day all OF the brakemen, both on pas
senger and freight trains, ali over the Burling-
ton system will quit work, and that
will cripple the company TO such an extent that
it will not be able TO do any business whatever
The road will be as efectually tied up as at the
time the engineers left their engines"
Shortly after midnight the men, number
ing sixty, waited in body on Superntend-
ent of Freight Cropsey and informed him
that their positions were vacant The SUI
perintendent asked them their reasons for
striking. The spokesman of the party told
him that it was the result of a conclusion
arrived at at meeting yesterday after
noon Here it was unanimously resolved
that the switchmen would not switch cars
for engines driven by other than Brother
hood engineers
The hour being so late the officers of the
road could not be seen, so their views on
this new phase of the strike are unknown
Telegraphic advices At the local offices
here announce similar strikes at Aurora
and Mendoza, with possibility of its ex-
tension into Colorado
Fifty citizens of Aurora Ill in petition
to the Board of Railroad Commission
ers Friday, stated their belief that en-
gineers unfit and incompetent to per-
form their duties were running trains
through that place, thereby endlngering
the lives and property of patrons, and
asked an investigation. At Omaha Friday
the St Paul & Omaha road began moving
Burlington cars for the first time since the
beginning of the strike.
