1t is also stated that but few

From the Engineers Headquarters.

Special TO the lndisnapoIis Journai
CLEVELAND, O., Nov. GA report reached
here to-day from indianapolis to the effect that
Chief Engineer Arthur, Of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, had ordered the en-
gineers on the roads centering in that
city not to strike on any account for
the purpose of aiding the switchmen.
A Journal correspondent called at the Brother
hood headquarters, but found that Chief Arthur
was absent from the city, and is thought to be
in New York. Assistant Chief Engineer Iugra-
ham, however. stated emphatically that no such
order had been issued. Mr.. Arthur. or any
other officer of the Brotherhood, has no
authority to either order or forbid
a strike. He said: "That is q matter for the
men to decide among themselves. The chief
engineer simply sanctions it if he sees fit, in
which case the strikers receive the moral and
financial support of the Brotherhood"
ia there any probability that the engineers
and fremen at Indianapolis will striker
Il don't thiak there Isl Chief lnPraham re-
piled. ''Of course, We can't tell what will hap
pen. II is possible that one or two of them
might leave their engines and involve the
others, thus precipitating a strike. but l doubt
it. The men may sympathize with the
striking switchmen, but il is against the policy
of the order to meddie in such affairs. The
engineers have no grievances. In fact, I
don't believe there will be any trouble
at all among our men at Indianapolis.
l haye received no advices from that
city, and all that / know is what 1 read in the
newspapers"
MIR. Ingraham thus voices the well-known
sentiments of his superior officer. Chief Arthur
has dozens of times declared that the brother
hood would not permit its members to interfere
in strikes were they have no grievances
against the roads interested. The brotherhood
has contracts vita many roads, and will not

of the order.

are receiving freight as usual for all points, ex-
cept Indianapolis, and that is taken subject to
delay" An official of the road said to-day:
The strike at present is in the hands of Super
intendents Wrinkle ana Evan, who
report that they are getting things
Strengthened out. We have not boy
cotted our ~switchmen; they have left our en-
ploy, and. Of course. their pay has ceased.
Whether we will take them back depends on
their conduct during the affair. 1t is hardly
possible TO say what We will do.
for the reason that we don't know
what the strikers are I'D to. One thing is GER
tain, we intend to run our road ourselves, and

any serious complications, and don't believe
that any of the traiumen will go out. At least,
we have received no intimation of any trouble
in that direction as yet"
