There is well formed suspicion that trouble
is brewing between the B. & NJ. railroad and
its locomotive engineers, and if the interested
parties felt disposed to talk some interesting
disclosures might be made to the public
Since the big strike of 'SS the railway manage
ment has been strongly opposed to any labor
organization among its engine men, but not
withstanding this opposition it is reported
that the men have been quietly joining the
Brotherhood by the score, until now it is very
currently stated that a large majority of the
men who pull the throttle on its engines are
in the league with the Brotherhood. Over on
the Q. the Brotherhood is said to be almost
as strong as before the strike, while on the B.
& M. it is not many notches behind. What
the managers will do about it is the question
-Plattsmouth Journal.
| The general managers of the lines in the
Western Passenger Association held a meet
ing in Chicago, Saturday, to solve the problem
as to the time to be made by trains between
Chicago and Missouri river points and Chica-
go and St. Paul and Minneapolis. This mat
ter has given the managers Of the western
roads more trouble than any other question
| in coming to an agreement and the establish
ment OF uniform passenger rates during the
Worlds Fair period. In order to pave the
the way for an amicable adjustment of Worlds
fair rates and to bring about the adoption of
the revised agreement ofthe Western Passen-
ger Association the managers of the various
roads concluded at Saturdays meeting to fix
a minimum time for all regular trains, no
road to be permitted to run trains at higher
speed. The minimum time for trains between
Chicago and Missouri river points, Kansas to
Omaha inclusive, was fixed at sixteen hours.
The minimum time of trains between Chicago
and St. Paul was fixed at thirteen hours and
twenty minutes. This will necessitate the
lengthening of time by some of the roads and
the shortening by others. The time between
Chicago and Kansas City by the direct lines
is heightened by one hour. The officials of
these roads say this will help them during the
Worlds fair period, as they haul larger trains
and assume less risk. Now that the question
OF time to be made by trains has been salts
factorIly adjusted the managers at their meet
ing today will find but little difficulty in COM
ing to speedy result as regards the adoption
of the Worlds fair rates Recommended by
the presidents a short time ago.
