THE FIGHT BEGUN.
Engineers and Firemen on the
Burlington System 1naugu-
rate Their Big Strike.
Over Eleven Thousand Directly or In.
directly Thrown Out Of Elm.
plOymcnt.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-Al the engineers
of the Burlington road belonging to the
brotherhood have stopped work. An Of
fetal notice that this would be done was
sent to General Manager Stone, Sunday.
He positively refused to grant the de-
mands of the engineers and firemcn for
II new scale Of wages and now the strike
is on.
All men in the employ of the Burling-
ton system who know how to run an
engine will be pressed into service on
passenger trains aud no effort will be
made to run freights at present.
Officers of the road claim they have
sufficient men to run the passenger
trains.
Thc strike promises to he the most re-
markable ever known, for in it the
strongest single labor organization in
existence has been pittcd against the
largest railroad corporation in the West,
and one of the greatest in mileage and
wealth in the world. Should the strike
long continue, it is probable that, in ad
dition to the l,400 men directly involved,
the great majority of the 5000 employees
of the company will be thrown out of
work.
