man Carroll. speaking in regard to the
published reports of the financial strength
of the brotherhood, said: "lt is true that
there IL about 100000 in the contingent
f,ind, but in addition to that we have %
building fund i'm our treasury amounting
20 $500 600 This can be used to pay the
expenses of strike II necessary. There are
1880 members In good standing anu each
Of them can put up a hundred dollars at a
moments notice If it is necessary, and you
see we would then have 81, ,6lO 900 for light
ing capital"
Chairman Carroll of the union grievance
committee, admitted that the reports which
he gave to the Associated Press Yesterday
were untrue and had been given simply TO
create "a scare throughout the United states.
There was no truth in the state
ment that the roads would be called to-
day. This morning there was large de-
frCtion from the Santa Fe strikers the
result of a warm fight in the session of the
committee held last night at the meeting.
Sixteen of the engineers said 1t was their
intention OF going to work to-day on the
Santa Fc. AT this time there IL great stir
among the engineers and for the first time
since the beginning OF the strike the mem
bers of the committee are out among the
men pleading their cause. On the Fort
Scott road everything moves smoothly and
there is no indication of trouble anywhere.
The Missouri Pacific and Union PaCliic OF
fcials say that they anticipate no trouble
and have made no arrangements looking
n to ward strike. Assistant General Super
" intendent Spoor, of the Santa Fe, says his
road will be running in good order before
night, as numbers Of the men have an
nounced their intention of returning to
their cabs when called upon. Tue engi-
neers will not talk and those who are man
aging the strike were looking very discon-
ISOLATE over their brothers. Chairman
Hotchkiss Of the Gulf grievance committee
was very non n.committal in regard to mat
ters under his jurisdiction, hut stated that
no strike had been ordered on the Gulf
system.
SMITHS STRONG POINT.
CHICAGO, March ia dispatch from
Wasl ington says 1t is rumored there that
the Atchison railway company has refused
to allow the striking engineers to haul the
United States mail cars unless they also
haul passenger and express cars. Vice

was true. lie said the contract with the
government called on the road to carry the
mail on passenger trains, and that they
would comply with the requirements of the
contract.
