THE INDUSTRIAL REALM.

The Knights OF Labor and Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers and Firemen have
buried the Ratchet Gays Chicago special Of
Friday.
An agreement was entered into between the
two organizations which may, II IL results as
they hope, materially advance the Brother
hood strikers cause and deal q serious blow at
the 20" system. All day Chiefs Arthur and
Sargent were in consultation with Joseph p.
Cahill, Secretary OF the Executive Board OF the
Reading Railroad Employees Convention. and
strikers Grievance Committee. The object
of the conference was to convince Messrs.
Arthur and Sargent Of the fact that their
men had taken the striking Reading engi-
neers' places and to make an agreement where
by. II Arthur and Sargent would recall these
men. the knights would cry quits and hold
the conference was such that Chief Arthur at
once sent kilograms to the brotherhood officials
in the East to use their influence In Persu ading
Engineers who have taken the places OF the
striking engineers ON the Reading Railroad to
withdraw Immediately.
The Chicago Burlington 4 Quincy Railroad
managers claim to be holding their own in
their great fight with the Engineers Brother
hood, while the latter claim to be more than
holding their own, says Chicago special OF
Saturday.
Fight was the word at the Brotherhood head
quarters neutrality-suspicious. warfare. Chief
Arthur said that II an order as strong as that
Of the engineers--one that had been recognized
and applauded throughout the world for it's
conservatism and fairness-could not win SO
just quarrel he would resign his place and
recommend the order to disband. This Is the
first strike Mr.. Arthur has had In eleven years.
All other differences between the men and the
companies he had been able to settle AMIGA
bly,. Defeat now, he thinks, means the disrup-
tion Of the order and calling in question his
reputation as q reasonable. fair-disposed man.
II the Burling ton Road can beat him any other
considerable railway system may do the same
thing. All OF Mr.. Arthurs subordinates and
advisers agree with him that the fight must be
won. He means war to the end.

-, Chairman General Grievance Committee,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers:
DEAR SIR AND BRoTHER-You are hereby au-
thorized and ordered to come to the city OF

An Erroneou, Idea About Rattlesnakes.

AS to the cussedness of the rattle
snake would like to correct a very
common error. These otherwise dan
gerous reptiles always give warning,
and never bite unless roughly trod
upon, or incautiously caught with the
hand. On cold, rainy. or damp day,
when partially torpid, they give no
alarm, and Will not bite under any cir
cumstances. A man may take them up
and fold them around his neck without
harm. The same may be done at other
times, but the performer must be ex-
tremely cautious. He may touch any
part OF the snakes body, except the
tail or rattles. The RATHER has a we'll
known, but unwritten law: "Thou
shalt not suffer any man to touch thy
tail, or thy rattles, on pain of death to
the offender" Observing this law, an
expert may handle one of these reptile
monsters almost any time with abso.

however, that do not recommend such
performances as an everyday exercise.

The Pacific Railway Telegraph Bill Pass

tack the Western Union Telegraph Company
at it's most vulnerable point. Out of a total
vote of 2OI on the Pacific Railroad Telegraph
bill there were 1877 yeas and nays. The effect
OF this bill is to nullify the existing con-
tracts between the Union and Central Pacific
railroads and the Western Union whereby the
latter enjoys q monopoly Of the wires along
the line Of the Pacific roads. It is claimed that
these contracts are in violation of the law Of
Congress authorizing and extending Govern
ment aid In the construction OF the Pacific
railroads. and are therefore void the Pacific
roads are obligated TO construct q telegraph
line as well as TO lay railroad tracks, and had
no power to either sell or lease the telegraph
