THE ROAD MUST PROSECUTE.
CHICAGO, July 1!.--Speal1ing to
reporter regarding Yesterdays con-
ference with representatives of the
engineers aud firemens brotherhoOds,
General Freight Agent Morton said to the
reporter that while the railroad people are
desirous that the strike should be declared
off by the Brotherhood, yet they have no
intention of compromising the pending
criminal suits, nor could they if they would
The proceedings have been begun and they
must take their course. Nothing was said
or done at the conference to justify belief
that there will be any compromise
which will release any one now under
arrest. On the contrary, another man was
to be arrested at Galesb re- to-day against
whom the company has strong evidence
The road" " added Mr.. Morton, ''is to take
back all the Brotherhood men it consistently
can-men who have taken no part in the
trouble. There is probably room for $50.
There will soon be another conference, at
which a final agreement will be reached"
ARTHUR'S OPPOSITION TO VIOLENCE.
Chief Arthur this morning said in the
course of conversation that be would not and
did not countenance any violence whatever
on the part Of membe of the Brotherhood
against the Burlington road. Continuing,

any member of our order has done an overt
act. | do not know as yet whether the
strike will be declared Off or not" Chet

proven undJ any member Oh bDe BrOUOer-
hood used violent means to gain ends de-
sired, that man would be summarily ex-
PEELED from the order

which might lead to a settlement of the
troubles. Mind, he continued, 81 don't
say, but it may"
CHIEF ARTHUR's DEPARTURE.
Chief Arthur left tonight for Cleveland
In conversation with a reporter touching
the strike, he said: I'VE wanted certain
things OF the railroad They were not
given us, and we had a right to quit, and
the Burlington has right to employ other
men. We made nervy fight, and have
been beaten in it. There is no use in saying
else. 1t would now be better for the mon
and better for the road that the strike
be declared off, and the strikers
seek work elsewhere, or return
to the 60" The road has won, but at
great expe0 Sc. On the other hand, the
brotherhood has lost none of its members,
but has gained some. The money necessary
to support the strikers has always been
cheerfully forthcoming. No, / don't know
when we will have another conference with
the railroad people. 1t may be in a few
days"
