representatives Of the neighboring roads,

asked Chief Arthur to negotiate further
with the Burlington people. Business men
who feared spread OF the strike and the
interruption OF trade were said to be anx-
ious TO arbitrate the differences between
the contestants. Chief Arthur and Grand
Master Sargent said that no offers OF
O compromise or arbitration would

added that the propositions OF the brother
hood had not been discussed, as Mr..
Stone, general manager OF the Burlington.

proposition-3l cents mile and no CLASH
fication, and their negotiations stopped.
Both Mr.. Arthur and Mr.. Sargent insisted
this evening In talking of the matter, that
concessions would have been made by the
men on minor details Of this demand.
Chief Arthur denied that any PROPOSE
ton OF compromise or arbitration had
reached him. He said he hadn't seen
President Perkins or Manager Stone, OF
the Burlington road, or any citizens who
desired to secure agreement by arbitration.
lie admitted that he had been in consulta-
ton with the managers Of certain parallel
lines-the Wisconsin Central, Alton, Santa
Fe and Wabash roads,
"We have assurance" he said, "that
they will maintain a strict neutrality be-
tween tho Burlington road and the two
organizations, the iiremen and engineers. +"
Suppose they pool with the Burlington
on passenger or freight trafiic?"
ANY pooling arrangements would not
maintain neutrality" said the chief with
significant emphasis.
Mr. Arthur said he hadn't heard of any
negotiations with the Pennsylvania Cen
trail in relation 10 the new schedule OF
classi6cations.
