BKoTaEaHOOD OF ENGINEERS.
The Western ClsssI fcation system Likely
to Breed Trouble.

10 breeO IrouDiss
CHICAGO. Dec. 90 The representatives
OF the various divisions of the Brother
hood OF Locomotive Engineers continued
their session to-day. II is generally be-
lieved here that there il strong and grow
ing dissatisfaction among the brotherhood
on Western roads where the classification
system is in vogue. and that unless a
change is soon made in the miaRe system
big strike will be inau9ur ited. The
classification system was the cause Of the
trouble on the Burlington road. One of
the delegates to the present meeting
said to a reporter to-day that
the statement to the effect that the
brotherhood would cease giving the Bur.
iington strikers financial assistance after
January lst is absolutely false. After the
strike had been thoroughly described to.
day, special grievance committee of nine
visited the general offices of the Buring.
ton road and were closeted for half an honr
with Vice-President Stone and General
Manager Ripley. After the visitors had
departed Mr.. Ripley said to reporter:
The gentlemen simply came to ask II IL
would be convenient for us to receive them
Monday and hear what they had to say.
They desire a conference, and simply
wanted to know if we would give them a
hearing.
Ibid You grant their request"
Certainly. We can't refuse to hear
them. That does not indicate, IT course,
that we have any intention of changing
opr position. They did not tells-us what
they are Ginning here for and We do not
know whether they are going to ask any
concessions of us or not"
This was all Mr.. Ripley had to say. but
it was more than any other member OF the
grievance committee would vouchsafe. A
delegate to the convention who is not a
member of the com mittee, claims that the
committee submitted proposition to the
companies, ''the brotherhood's terms" he
called it, and were to return Monday for
an answer.
