LATE TABOR TROUBLES.
THE b. o q. RAILWAY COMPANY,S
LITTLE INsURANCF SOHEME.

Remarkable Proposition and One Which
II Properly Conducted, Might be of Ad.
vantage to Railroad Employes-But ths
Latter Object to the Method of the Man.
agement-A Big Strike Likely 70 Grow
Out Of q Mandate Of the Company
CHICAGO, April 13.-Several hundred EN-
ployes OF the B. & o. railroad, includin,
engineers, shop men, switchmsn, brakemen
conductors, and section hands, on the Chi
cago division, were called into the com
pany's Office, to-day and asked by the Off
cials to sign papers giving the company the
right to reserve certain percent OF wages
to deiray the costs Of insuring employees
against loss by sickness, accident, etc..
while in the service.
There has been much dissatisfaction with
the workings of the scheme, for some time
past. The men claim that they receive no
benefits, and that the arrangement was
simply one that would result in additional
surplus to the company.
This feeling manifested itself to-day In
unanimous refusal by the men to sign the
company's paper. All those refusing were
given to understand that, unless the papers
were signed by Monday, they would be dis.
charged.
A mass meeting OF the men was held to.
night at South Chicago to pro.
test against the compsny's action.
There were 200 employees present at the
meeting representing all the branches
affected. Speeches were made embodying
the charges referred to above, and in ad.
dition, complaining that the insurance was
illegal, the company having now no charter
nor insurance purpose.
1t was decided that should any wages be
retained by the company on payday,
April %, employees should strike instantly.
AT ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS.
ST. PAUL, April 13.-The street car strike
situation in this city is unchanged. No
attempts were made to run any horse
cars. The cable cars have been running
steadily, the men not going out with the
others.
MINNEAPOLIS, April 13.-The street rail.
way management have decided not to try
to run cars before Monday. Everything
quiet.

He Admits by Silence the Charge that the
Government was Back ofethe "Times."
LONDON, April 13-1n Commons last
evening Prof. Stuart, (RadicaD asked Bal
four whether the circular sent to the Irish
police directing them to collect all the
secret information regarding the doings OF
members of the National League, was de-
signed to aid the London Times"
Baffour responded eyasively.
Parnell demanded q straightforward an
swer. The circular, he said, was q fact.
The use made OF the circular proved that
the government was the prosecution behind
the "Times." Referring to the use OF bat
tering rams in enforcing evictions, Parnell
protested against such cruelty aud bar
barity.
Balfour ignored the question regarding
the secret circular. Regarding the batter.
ing rams he held il. was necessary to use
them.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt described
the policy OF Balfour as one Of extermina-
tion.
Goschen declared the Parnsllites were re-
sponsibie for that. They had substituted
warfare between landlord and tenant for
friendly relations based upon recent laws
which put the Irish in more favored posi-
tion than any people in the world. Evic-
tions were taking place, not because they
could not pay rent but because they would
not.

regarded as violation OF this provision
