THE SANTA FEE STRIKE.
Thirtv-Two Hundred Miles of
Road Tied UP by the
Brotherhood.
The Men Give No Reason for Quitting.
but Simply Say They Are
.'Tired.'s
rropela, Kansas, Special, March ISL

Topeka, Kansas, Special, March ISL
Thirty-two hundred miles of railway
were tied up the afternoon of the 18th IN
exactly ten minutes by the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers and Firemen. The
entire main line of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe company and all its branches
were brought to standstill. A stretch OF
territory from st. Paul on the north to
Ell Paso on the south-practically the
breadth of the United States-is now in
volved in the struggle that started between
the Burlington company and its employees.
Kansas City special of the 18th says:
The engineers and firemen on the vast sys-
TEN of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad company went out on strike
at o'clock p. m. the 18TH. The strike
created intense excitement and surprise
for the reason that the rad has not been
handling Burlington freight. That the.
strike was ordered by some one in author
ity there is no doubt, but in Kansas City
the men profess ignorance of the issuing
of any such orders an1ssay they have quit
because they are tired" The first indi
cation of trouble here was at 4:3O O'Clock
when the Usage City express was scheduled
to depart. Conductor hurry gave the Or
der to start, when Engineer Higgins quiet
ly stepped from the cab and refused to pull
out. At the same time that Higgins left
his engine at the union depot forty men
employed in the Santa Fe freight yards at
Argnetine quit work, all declaring them
selves tired"
Nothing positive can be said as to the
origin or cause of the strike. The men
had grievance month ago and had IL
conference with the officials and We're
granted all they asked for. Resolutions
adopted at a grievance committee meeting
at Topeka some days ago threatened
strike if the company handled 20" freight,
but it has been understood that the Santa
Fe was not handling any of the boycotted
business.
The chairman of the general grievance
committee of the brotherhood of engineers.
who was in Kansas City, received tele-
gram from Arthur instructing him to send
the Santa Fe committeeman to Chicago at
once, and intimating that the Santa Fe
company was ready to compromise.

Improvements in Keys.

A recent improvement in the form of
keys presents some novel features, the
object aimed at being to render the
pins, tumblers and bolts of the lock
more difficult of access when desirable
that it should be so, and also to keep
foreign matters from the lock by pre-
senting IL downwardly curved surface
to the key-hole The form in this case
is that of the ordinary Yale key, eX-
cepting that it is curved, and the same
popularity also distinguished the slot
or cavity of the barrel. this being
curved to conform exactly to the
curvature of the key The key is
curved edgewise, and the billings
which operate the pins are of the
ordinary form or any other approved
style, and, therefore, the bolt of Yale
lock may be used and operated in the
usual manner. The curvature OF the
slot and key may be varied in different
locks, and thus the liability to tamper-
ing become greatly diminished, the
special curve of the key being required,
as we'll as the special form and num-
Der of billings. N. \. San.
