ton freight:
"When the strike broke out on the Bur
lipgton we did make g verbal agreement
with the engineers that they should no
be asked to move BuTliOgton cars, a
lf6st until some specific order has beer
given"
"Has such sn order been given2"
"No, sir. Not single pound Of OBJ
jsctiopsble freight has been handled
There is rot word OF truth In the state

"What Is there in the claim by the
engineers that the stockholders of the
Chicago, Burlington aud Quincy srt
largely interested IN the Santa Fer"
"There is virtually nothing. There j:
not slcgle instance in which directo!
of one road holds similar position witt
the olher. The controlling interests o.
two systems are competitive. OF course

market which any one eau purchase, but
that in no way figures IN the msnagemeD

gineers have been locking over list o
the stockholders is absurd, ss they gOult
be unable to see tue bnoks. The req
grievance Of strikers is this: Tney hav'
learned, IS snyone can learn
that much OF the stock of the Atchjson
Topeka aad Santa Fe and Chicsgo, Bur
Iington and Quincy is held BY parties il
B0ston, and from this fact they draw tn
I conclusion that the interests Of the tWC
roads arc m re or les identical, aud tbs
q blow at the Santa Fe means injury +
me Burlington. Nothing could be furthe
from the truth"
