| THE RAILROAD ENGINEERS STRIKE.
| The Burlington is hard foe to fight and
| on the other hand the Brotherhood is bad
body to differ with. The men, slow to strike,
stand together when the time comes. 1t is
related that when Chief Arthur waited on
the president of the Consolidated road a
year or two ago, he not only spoke for the
| engineers this road, but said that if engin-
GERS from outside were secured here, neither
| the Harlem nor the Boston and Albany en-
| gineers would draw the cars, and that sooner
than do it they would tie up the Central and
| the Boston and Albany roads. He got what
| he asked. In this case he asks what the
l Northwest and St. Paul and other roads have
granted; and the strike takes this queer con-
i trast to the Reading difficulty. There the
managers said: We will pay as our rivals do.
Here the managers say: we will not pay as
our rivals do.-Hartford Courant.
