LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS
ON THE CHICAGO, BURLINGTON AND
 QUINCY. TO STRIKE.

After Endeavoring for Three Weeks to
 Adjust the Differences Between the
 Road and Its Employees, Chief Arthur
 Sanctions Extreme Measures.
 CHICAGO, Feb. 25-Reports to-day indicate that within a week there will not be wheel moving on the Burlington's great system of railroads
 Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Loco motive engineers, said last evening:
 A committee representing the national or in Chicago for three weeks trying to adjust the differences between the men and the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy. They were put off with promises, and finally saw Mir. Stone, the general manager, but were unable to effect any settlement. Then they sent for Grand Master Sargent, of the Firemen's brother hood, and myself, and we arrived here Thurs day morning. We saw Mir. Stone, Vice President Peasley and Mr. Merrill, of the company. We discussed several propositions, until finally the question of wages was reached. We then asked fox 1-2 cents per mile for eight-wheel passenger engines, and 34 cents per mile for six-wheel connected engines. This Mir. Stone would not concede. Then we conceded the 34 cents, and asked for 1-2 cents per mile, regardless of the CAeaoo OA OAlS AAcS. uAO 1S Wu1G Uu0 OulC<1&O and Alton and the Santa Fe systems granted, but MT. Stone would not listen to it. We told him then that if his engineers and firemen determined to quit work we would sanction it, and we retired.
 "The strike, when it comes, will involve every engineer, passenger and freight, on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy system, but no train will be left standing on the track"
 MT. Arthur said that the present case is the first instance in ten years in which the Broth hood of Engineers have failed to settle diffi- culty with railroad company without re- sorting to strike. There is no fixed rate of wages on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, he said, and all that the men asked was the mileage rate paid by 90 per cent. of the rail- roads in the country. The only question that was reached in the conference with the com pany was that of the wages of passenger en- gineers, and that is the only question that will be involved in the strike.
 The report is that before night the whole road will be tied up from one end to the other. Freight as well as passenger traffic will be stopped, and most of the switch en- zines will be abandoned.
 The committee of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy men are said to have considered the matter among themselves, and announced to Arthur and Sargent that they have de cided to call out the men, and Chief Arthur gave his sanction. The number of engineer and firemen on the road is about l, ,5O0.

The Labor Federation.

ST. LOUIS, December 18th e
American federation of labor began a
three days convention this morning.
The question first raised was the adj
mission of amalgamated society of car
penters and joinors to the federation.
President Campers read the CORES
pondence in the matter which showed
that he had labored with the alma
gated society until application had
been received. Prior to its receipt on
May 18th, 1880, in Philadelphia, it
was decided that when such applica-
ton was made, the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners, which
is member Of the Federation, would
be consulted.
Whereas, 1t has been proved 10
demonstration that it is detrimental
to the interest of labor to have MOI e
than one organization in any trade.
Be it resolved: That the objection
raised by the United Brotherhood ,f
the admission of the amaIg a.
mated society of carpenters
be sustained. The introduction OF
this resolution stirred up the con-
vention considerably, and strong
speeches were made by several of the
delegates in support of it. The gist of
all the arguments was that it would
be manifestly an injustice to an Amer
lean workingman for the reason that
after the imported workers had
earned that portion of money
which properly belongs to
the American, they return to
England, and spend their money
