PERTINENT QUESTIONS FE0N CHIEF AB-
HUR
CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-CAef Arthur said
tonight: The fight is purely a question
Of wages. We receded from our first
proposition and offered to accept three
and a half cents which Mr.. Stone refused
in a most positive anner He made no
proposition to US at all and the fight now
is purely on the question Of pay. Mr..
Stone says" continued Mr.. Arthur, that
we want to put unskilled labor on a par
with skilled labor. Now we go on the as
sumption that there is no unskilled labor
on the engine on any road in the United
States. If Mr.. Stone means to say that he
had unskilled engineers on any branch of
his road, would he 60 into court in case of
a damage suit and s%ear that he had?
Would Mr.. Stone like TO have the public
believe that the engineers ON the branch
lines are inferior to those on main lines?
If one Of the branch engineers would Of
fer to run n of the big trains on the
main line now, the company would be
very glad to secure his services. If the
engineer who runs the limited express is
willing that the engineer who runs
the accommodation tram should receive
the same pay that he does, why should the
company obiect?"
