an OBNOXIOUS CIRCULAR,
Railroad Men Think 1t Tyrnnnical and
Threaten to strike.

AUGUSTA. Ga. June 4.-The engineers. fire.
men. conductors, and tranmen OF the Central
Railroad are about to strike. Tho dssatlsfac-
tion Is caused by the superintendents OF the
various divisions issuing a circular which
each man Is to sign within ten days or hand
in his resignation. The circular is an in
QUESTION to find ont the history Of each en-
ployee and to make him agree to abstain from
drink while in the employ OF the company and
prohibiting their visitation to places where
liquor is sold. The last two questions are tho
ones that have aroused the employees, and
they vow that they will forfeit their positions
before they will sign such an arbitrary agree
ment.
Chief Arthur OF the Brotherhood OF Locomo-
tive Engineers arrived here this morning from
Cleveland to confer with General Manager
Gabbett OF the Central Railroad to have the
circular changed. and il he does not consent to
make the alteration then a strike is expected.
Chief Arthur says the iron bound circular cuts
of all the privileges Of the engineers as long
as they remain with the road Mr.. Arthur will
have an interview with Manager Gabbett to-
morrow, and he says he is not yet prepared to
say that strike will follow II the engineers
demands are not satisfied. He Is going to try
to settle the affair without any trouble. No
one has yet signed the circular
