strike nn a Kan.as Rnad.

TOPEKA, KAs., March 26.-The engt- neers on the Rapid Transit railway, . line recently built and operated from Topeka to Oakland and bowman, walked o8t this morning and al day the entire line was tied up. The cause of the strike was the discharge yester. day morning of John Berdy, an engi- neer who has been with the company for some time. A delegation of en. ginears called on Master Mechanic Chas. Blaidell and informed him that if Mir. Berdy was not reinststed they would quit work. The request of the men was not granted and they all left their engines. There has been some dissatisfaction among the men ever since the appointment of Mir. Blaisdell as master mechanic. The engineers claim that he has been constantly seek ing some prete1t under which to dis charge them. The direct cause of the discharge of Mr. Berdy was the fact that his train was ditched near Oakland late on Saturday night. No injury was done. The master mechanic claimed that IL was the re- suit of the engineer in charge, while MT. Berdg claims the cause was an open switch. The strikers say it will be a very difficult m alter for the Transit company to fiji their places. as no brotherhood man would take their places. The conductors on the Rapid Transit line. twenty in number, sll struck this afternoon and refused to go out with new engineers. President Francis states this evening that he has applications from forty engineers tbii afternoon and will be prepared 6 operate all trains tomorrow.
