CEDAR RAPIDs, Iowa, March S!-The
engineers on the Burlington, Cedar Rap
ids & Northern road refused last night to
haul freight which had been loaded in
Chicago, Burlington & Qaincy cars, but
was not received from or consigned TO the
Burlington road. President Ives, who
had accsded to the demand that the
road would not haul Quincy freight, de.
cided that this was going too far and his
ultimRtum was to haul thoss cars or none
a! all. The engineers sids.trscked their
engines and quit. An engineer on the
Northwestern road also refused to haul q
Uhicsgo, Burlington & Qaincy car across
the river to the pump factory, though the
freight did not originate with the Bur-
lington. A general strike on the roads
centering here Ia feared.
