sued from the headquarters of the AtchisOn, To-
peka and Santa Fe Railway at Kansas City to.
night giving the striking engineers and fremen
until p. m. on Thursday March 22, to return
to their engines. All the men who have not re-
! ported for duty by that time will be considered
/ by the management no longer IN the employ
of the company.

been for some time" said Mr. Morton, OF tho
Burlington, to-day.
" Is it true that Messrs Hoge and Murrhy offered
Mr. Perkins to order the strike OFT in he uld

that if we would take back all the passenger
engineers they would come back | also under.

need all the passenger engineers and that he could
