Mr.. Sargent Admits that the New Men
Can't be Discharged.
CHICAGO, April 6.-Mr. Jeffrey, General
Manager of the Illinois Central railroad,
called with Messrs. Sargent, Monahan, Hoge
and Murphy at the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy offices this morning and met Messrs.
Dexter, Peasley, Stone and Bester. Mr..
Sargent acted as spokesman in behalf of
the late engineers and firemen Of the Bur
lington road and urged that the whole
matter be left to arbitration, but the rail
road company objected that such PROPOSE
ton was iuadmissble at the present time,
as their ranks were substantially
full of engineers and fremen who were en-
tirely satisfied with the rules and terms of
employment The situation of these new
men and the terms on which they were en-
gagged were fully explained to M Sargent,
who admitted that the railroad company
could not consider any proposition looking
to their discharge. Mr.. Stone then urged
Mr. Sargent to have the strike called Off,
promising to consider applications from the
old men, and to give as many of them work
ds he could.
