from various points on the Burlington
road. where Chairman Hoge and Muir
phs have been polling the men on the
question Of declaring the strike Oh.
say that the majority Of them are dis;
satisfied with the propositions made
By the company, and are unwilling to
have the strike declared OF on any
such terms.
The strike is not of yet,- said
Chairman Lemay, Of the Northwestern
road, last evening. 1T will be de-
clsred of, however, il Mr.. Stone shows
any indication of dealing honorably BY
the men. We win waive the questien
Of wages temporarily, the trip basis
and the classification. We do not ask
Mr.. Stone to take tack all our men.
We understand perfectly well that the

George W. Frooman, Chairman OF
the General Grievance Committee of
the Union Pacific, level-headed and
cool man, spoke as follows: The bal
lot Of the strikers is now being taken.
They are deciding in all divisions ex-
actly on what conditions they viii de-
clare the strike OF. Exactly what
/ these conditions are l cannot tell.
Possibly they may agree on an uncon-
| ditional surrender. In that case il
viii be needless for Chief Arthur to
confer with Mr.. Stone. But whatever
the strikers decide, that result will be
binding on the Grievance Committees
| and the Brotherhood. Action viii be
taken accordingly. That there viii be
some conditions demanded. / am quite
| certain. / know the men viii not lay
down Internationally. Then, of course,
conference must settle the matter. /"
| is not the present Convention of
| Chairmen using its influence to bring
the strike TO an end.''
I'VE are. We viii urge a settle
ment upon any honorable basis
You thind the strike is in good
way to be settled."
II do, under the terms / mentioned
TO you.
fhe local Burlington strikers have
| suddenly assumed the aggressive.
They declare that the strike is not over,
and are making all kinds of predic-
tons to the effect that the Burlington
will be forced to offer favorable COM
promise. They base this hope upon
the fact the immense crops are about
to be gathered, and allege that the
Burlington is not in condition to
compete for their transportation to
| Eastern points.
The public may as well understand, '
said Mr.. A. J. You, of the Nickel Plate,
that the Burlington men will never
| make an unconditional surrender
They can afford to remain out forever
if the Burlington can afford to have
| them. If former declaration tina,
the strike is of Is worth anything tc
the Burlington, 1t is worth paying for
and the strikers are the ones who should
| receive the consideration"
