WEDNESDAY. APRIL, a., 1888.
THE BUSINESS BLOCKADE.

The morning and afternoon dispatches
contain little that is definite concerning
the great blockade upon the lines of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy lines
and the roads involved with IL; but there
is enough movement and music In the
air on all sides and in all directions to
keep the atmosphere surcharged with
feeling and suppressed excitement. The
salient features Of the situation are:
first, the attempt of the G. B. and Q. to
compel the Chicago and Rock Island to
handle their freight. and in this contest
before the courts the status of all the
other roads will necessarily be fixed;
second, the quarrel between the order OF
railway conductors and the brotherhood
of locomotive engineers and firemen.
As to the first, the Rock Island charges
that the suit Of the c. B. & Q. against
itself is virtually TO force the Rock Island
into railway trust which the Rock
Island does not desire, deeming such
trust ininical to the carrying interests
Of the country, destructive OF that COM
petition which is depended upon by the
business of the country to equalize
freight and passenger charges and con-
serve the interests of the general pub
lilo. The G. B. & Q. makes complete
and absolute denial of these charges and
invokes the aid OF the interstate COM
Derce law to enforce its carrying regu-
lstions and compel the Rock Island to
handle it's freight. In the meantime
other roads not in sympathy with
the c. B. & Q. are playing fast and
loose with that road and their uncertain
policy only complexities the situation,
neither the c. B. & Q. nor the strikers
knowing from day to day what an hour
may bring forth.
The Milwaukee strikers, very
likely with the oonnivance of the
officials Of the Alton road and St. Paul
road have spiked the switches leading
to the connecting tracks and 80 render
ed the running Of cars from the c. B. &
Q. tracks to the other roads an tmpossi-
~ 10 bOb tuhL the
roads which have been involved in this
road on account OF the G. B. & Q. stub
bornness, and which have no love for
that road, will avoid rupture with their
own employees and disastrous strike
upon their own lines by making no at
tempt to prevent spiking Of the coz
Meeting switches. This will introduce
another element into the controversy
and II these roads do not see fit to pros
ecute the spikers, it will be q
long road and hard one that the
Quincy people must travel to reach an
end OF their difficulty.
The grievance Of the order of railway
conductors is an important factor in the
fight. The bad blood between this or
ganization and the locomotive brother
hood does not show any signs OF dimin-
ishing it's flow or purifying its current.
The feeling OF the conductors is best
seen in its own expression, finding vent
in the report of the grand secretary e.
the order from which copious extracts,

The Southern Pacific road in its unjust
Determinations against this city has
ceased to deserve consideration at the
hands Of San Antonio business, and
should feel the pressure that can be
brought to bear upon her. If the South
ern Pacific is a creature of Galveston,
and only answers the end Of her creation
In catering to Galveston and the interests
of that shosl-wster port, let San Antonio
avail herself of the opportunities that
lie within her grasp and become indie
pendent Of the Southern Pacific and
Galveston together. All that San Anto-
MO need depend upon the Southern
Pacific for, Is a Small amount of local
freight. All else can be secured over

reports can, however, be taken with
some allowance. The report of the sec

statements are irreooncilable save upon
the supposition that the conductors are
a body of scab engineers their very Or
ganization and existeBce q menace to
the locomotive brotherhood. The state
ment concerning this matter is as follows:
"Nine-tenths of the conductors of the
United States are capable and trust
worthy engineers. The conductors on
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
have already demonstrated this. and
they are ready to do it on other roads.
sincerely hope the time IL close at
hand when they will not only be ready
but willing to do so all over the United
States. Today the engineers receive
pay for the intelligence. knowledge,
skill, experience and responsibility OF
the conductors. They have been

thy. of the conductors themselves."
This quarrel. if it has in any

tract from the grand secretary's

or 1t will work disaster to both organiza-
tions. In the meantime no definite ar

Chicago's Alleged Dynamiters
Plead Not Guilty of Wrongdo-


CHICAGO, Sept. 7.-Judge TuthilPs
court room was crowded this morning.
The occasion was the calling of the
cases against the alleged conspirators,
John Hronek, Frank Capek, Rudolf
Sevic and Frank ChlebOun, who are
charged with plot to murder Judges
Gary and Grinnell. Police Inspector
BCnfield and others who were connect
ed with the trial of Aug Spies and his
comrades, which resulted in their exc
cutiOn. The attorney for Hronek, in
whose house a box containing bombs
and dynamite was found, presented an
affidavit by his client, in which Hronek
declares that he had nothing to do
with the plot, and that the box
was left at his house by man. named
Karafiat. He asked for postpOnement
of the trial in order that he might pro-
cure evidence to prove this fact. The
attorney tor Sevic also presented an
affidavit from his client, who is gum
maker and dealer in guns, powder, etc.
lie declares his innocence of the charge
against him, and says that the dynamite
found in his place was what was left OF
a twenty-five pound package which he
purchased of the Etna Powder com
pany in the regular course of business
and disposed of in a legitimate way.
He gave the purposes for which the eX-
plOsive was wanted in the various sales
made by him. He also asked for con-
tinuance in order to procure testimony.
The bail of HOrnek, who is still IN jail.
was reduced from $4,000 to $1,000, and
the hearing in the four cases postponed
till the October term of court.
