Both SIDES of the "a" Strike Said to BE
Eager for Cessation of Hostilities-
Basis of the Proposed Settlement.
CHICAGO, April 6.-The collapse of the
switchmen's strike has paved the way for
a settlement of the remaining issues be-
tween the Burlington road and its striking
ex-empIOyes, and the indications are that
before many days the great strike
will be matter of history Neither
side has any thing to lose by cessa-
ton of hostilities and both sides have every
thing to gan The company openly admits
chat it would be glad to employ as many of
its old engineers as places could
be found for On the other hand,
the old engineers have their homes
and families along the Burlington sys-
TEN Their social ties and financial inter-
ests they do not wish to abandon without a
struggle. 1t is the opinion of many rail-
readers who have watched the contest from
the star that the time is now ripe for a
healing of the breach.
Tie programme, as outlined by these OBJ
servers is that the strike will be de-
clared off at once, and that Chief Ar
thurs return to Chicago is for his
purpose The claim for the aboli-
ton of classification Will be abandoned by
the Brotherhood, as the latter has stood
the company there will be a leveling up of
the wages of engineers and firemen to cor
respond with the Jaii III paid by other roads
This the @" will be able TO afford, IS the
immense losses through the cutting of
freight rates are ended and an era of money
making has started The men will apply to
be taken back individually. which the COM
pany will do as rapidly as places can be
found for them. IL is claimed that the
company would employ at least $50 of its
old engineers Immediately to bring the
complement up to an ante-strike standard
New men who prove incompetent will be
dropped gradually and more OF the old
ones taken back
The sQp received and handled 332 cars OF
stock during yesterday. 1t made up and
dispatched sixteen freight trains and re-
ceivsd the same number. The Northwest
ern brought over and delivered 10 the 20"
its first transfer since February -. City
