CHIEF ARTHUR CONFIDENT

Hundred Competent Engineers Idle
 Outside of the Brotherhood-New
 Workers Urge a Radical Measure.
 CHICAGO, March 5.-Chief Arthur last night expressed his perfect confidence in the successful result of the strike, and believed the entire matter would be effectually settled within a short time "Outside of the strikers on the Burlington road," said Mir. Arthur, ''there are not 300 competent unemployed en- gineers in the country. I know this and have no hesitation in stating the fact. In that case it will readily be seen that the places of the strikers cannot be filled by con- potent engineers, which the charters of the companies require There can, therefore, be no doubt of the success of this strike"
 Do you think there is any probability of the strike extending to other western roads9'
 "Not at present. We are determined, If possible, to confine this difficulty to the road in which it originated, and I will use every legitimate effort to prevent its extending to any other road. Of course expect the other roads to maintain their promised neu- tral ground in the matter, and believe they will do it. Therefore think the strike will be confined to the @ road, and the victory will be won upon the merits of the claims of the Brotherhood.n
 OnleA osISeH0 also siaiu III suoSCsaiico oueao the Brotherhood did not desire to extend the strike to other roads, and he did not believe it would be done. All the other companies were paying tlle wages asked by the engi- neers, and he did not believe they would give any material assistance to the Burlington, and thus compel radical measures of resist ance.
 Both chiefs report that from all reports received the mon along the road are firm and confident of success, and encouraging telegrams are teing received from all the divisions of the Brotherhood over the coun-
