he wishes it distinctly understood
that the Brotherhc cd have not en-
tered into any combination with the.
switchmen nor any other organize
ton, and have no intention of doing
80. 1t is the general impression thai
the strike will extend to the train

Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-03-25
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE

The cause of the switchmen's strike
is rot because of pay. The men OBJ
iect to working on engines not ham
died by the Brotherhood men.
The general impression among the
brakemen is that the officials of the
road will order them to turn out and
help out with switching, and in case
such demand should be made ON
them they will strike from one end Of
the system to the other rather than
do the work of the striking switchmen.
1t is thought that as fast as tho
grievance committees return to their
homes all the switchmen between
here and Denver will quit.

COMMITTEES WEAK.
Sensational Developments R'
gardinE Lard Production.

WASHINGTON, March "a. The lard
hearing was resumed before the
House Committee on Agriculture to-
day. Representatives Of Fairbanks
g. Co., testifying at length, defended
refined lard as pure, wholesome
food product. William Bartle, an ex-
paker Of st. Louis, continued his testi-
mony. He reported the statement
that in most of the packing houses
smothered hogs, pregnant sows.and
hogs suffering from cholera were used
indiscriminately with good hogs to
make prime steam lard. He could,
as a pork-packer and experienced
farmer, verify all the statements he
had heard about the manufacture OF
prime steam lard. He had only gone
out OF the business because he could
not pursue it longer and deal
honestly. When he was in
business he necessarily packed
cholera hogs, because they were
mixed with the other hogs. He had
cut the hogs into hams, ETC., knowing
them to be diseased, just as every
other packer did. The meat of the
cholera hog was not poisonous. One
of the crying evils of the time was the
shipping Of diseased hogs to the
market by the farmer. The man
would immortalize himself who would
frame a legislation whicn would pre-
vent the refiners and packers from
acting improperly in the manufacture
OF food products.
TILE REBELLION RECORDS.
The subcommittee of the House
Military Committee to-day began in
vestigation Of the alleged insertion In
the rebellion records Of unofficial mat
ter as set out in the Grosvenor reso-
lutions. Lieutenant Colonel Lasalle,
Assistant Adjutant- General Keltoni
and others were examined regarding
the purported list OF members of the
Anderson cavalry of Pennsylvania. %
General Kelton said that all the
Adjutant Generals Office knew about
the newspaper clip, was that it had
been handed in by Chief Clerk Twee-
dale with a request that it be COM
pared with the muster-rolls and veri-
fed. 1t had been compared, verified
and certified. Witness produced the
muster rolls tn show how the COM
pilation had been made.
There was no report from General
Rosecrans, of the War Department.
Henry Douglas, chief clerk in the
Adjutant- Generals office, said that
he had compared the newspaper slip
with the mpster-roll and made up
list OF names in the appendix, but
had not placed the Captain on it, nor
had he stated that it was made up
from official reports to General Rose
Grams. Upon being shown the manu-
script of the list witness said that it
was not the list he made up. His
recollection was that all of the names
found in the newspaper articles had
been found in the muster-rolls.
Adjournment was taken till We'd

placing railroads under the control of
the proposed Burlington Compa by
bringing about q strike on its own line
first, to absorb all Of the engineers

are not members of the Brother-

change of traffic with the competing
lines has not been made in good faith,

that before this bill was filed the
