Talk Over Late Strikes.

TORONTO. Ont, May n.-At last nights
session Of the railway conductors, the
subject of the engineers strike on the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, was
fully discussed in Its bearings on the in
terests OF the conductors. The report
of the grand officers, condemning the
strike, and expressing approval Of ths
course adopted by members Of the order
was endorsed by vote Of 1S4 to SO.
Great interest WAS taken, owing to
the presence Of forty conductors from
the road, among them being Ham and
Cross, who issued the famous circular,
denying tho assertion Of the engineers
that they had been harshly dealt with
by the company. A strong effort was
made, principally by the men from New
York, PennsylVAniG and New Jersey, to
prevent the adoption Of the clause
dealing with the strike. ....
