and it is announced that no further at
tempts will be made for a while to run
trains.
This state of affairs has been feared by
the officers of the road for several days
owing to the growing disinclination
on the part of brotherhood engineers
and tremen to work with non-union men
of any kind. Meetings were held by the
engineers and firemen this afternoon.
NO agreement could be reached the
principal obstacles being the radical
position taken by the firemen, who
favored striking, ana as a body, at once.
The engineers were more conservative,
and, while there was no mistaking the
feeling of sympathy. they were not a
much inclined to take decisive action as
the members of the brotherhood of fire.
men.
TWO HALLS SECURED.
Finally two calls We're secured. Each
meeting was addressed by President

at o'clock to night when the Northwest
ern fast Milwaukee train was made up
no fireman could be found to take
his place in the cab. The engineer
refused TO work with non-union fremen
and the train was abandoned. The engi-
neers at their meeting passed strong res
Olutions declaring their determination not
to work with nOn-uniOn crews. No de-
cision to declare a strike was reached, but
under the circumstance their action is
equivalent to a walk out.
The Pan Handle passenger train due to
leave here at $50 p. N. was derailed in
