ONLY ONE BROTHERHOOD MAN TOOK KNIGHTS PLACE
on THE READING.
PHILADELPHIA, March 5.-Eiward Kent, OF New
York, chairman OF the executive board OF the
brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers, who has
been in this city since Friday last investigating
the charges OF the Brotherhood men who had
taken the places OF Knights OF Labor en- the Read
ing road left for his home this morning He mailed
the report OF his investigation to Chez Arthur last
night.
In II he took the ground he said that the charges
make by Knights that Brotherhood engineers had
taken strikers places was grossly exaggerated.
He had made q thorough investigation OF the mat
ter and could locate only one such case. The
at the commencement OF the strike were men who
had lost their places In the BrotherhoodS strike on
the Reading system In 1877. and had since been
unable TO obtain work on a locomotive. Many OF
them had then, he said, belonged to the Brother
hood, but had since Withdrawn or been expelled
for non-payment OF dues.
