here persistently to the resolution which
they passed a few days ago to the effect
that they would not grant an increase in

wrangling between the men who had quit
work and the committee because the lat

CHICAGO, March 13.-Chicago switchmen
will remain at work for the present at
least. This decision was reached at a
meeting of the grievance committee yester-
day afternoon. Every one of the thirty
two Chicago roads was represented and a
majority of the members voted against
ordering strike. A mass meeting of
week, at which the decisiop-of the grev-
whole matter discussed.
Probably Only a Postponement.
Grand Master Wilson, of the Switch
mems Aid association, is much pleased
with the outcome of yesterdays meeting
as he believes strike at this time would
be an injudicious move He declines,
however. to discuss the probability of a
walkout at some more opportune time in
the future. A portion of the new men
who had been secured in anticipation of
strike will be given employment during
the Worlds fair rush. The others will be
given transportation TO their hoI1es as
soon the railroad managers are con-
vinced that ali danger of strike is past.
Resented the G. and 4. L. Demand.
All the switchmen on the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois railroad quit work at 5
o'clock Saturday afternoon, but returned
to their posts short time afterward.
Their return to work was the result of the
efforts of the grievance committee which
arrived on the scene soon after the men
walked out The strike was the result of
the demand of Superintendent Porter, of
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois, that the
switchmen give decision Saturday as to
whether or not they would abide by the
answer given by the general managers as
ISOLATION to their request for an increase in
pay. The grievance committee announced
that the company had agreed to extend
the time in which the men could make
answer.

ures which Congress may be able to pass

i. the fashion to unload all present evils
upon the sherman Silver act, but hund

present state of business. and Congress
can no more affect these things than it c An
affect tides or the weather.
Every day adds TO the melancholy pro-
ees.ion OF failures where the liabilities are
from three % SIX times the assets. No act
Of Congress can cure this.
THE great Danger of this extra session Is
that the President, who, happily. has sound
viess on money, will not be able to con
troll his party Three fourths of the Dem
oerats believe ia ever'f' iHg that Is opposed
10 what W. call sound money. Continued
issues of greenhaoks would suit them best

silver. aud next the starting up of the old
system of untaxed state banks with all the
devils dance that is sure to follos when
they burst and blight the communities in
which they have had their day.
This feeling in localities where the
Democratic party is strongest possesses the
people much mora than any allegiance
which they owe the President. Any prop
osition to repeal the sherman act will inev-
itabiy be connected with one or more of
these unsound propositions, and | look to
see the summer and autumn consumed with
discussion upon this question.
