FUTCH FIRED.
He Acted ns Chairman in the Con-
ference with Mr. Plant.

Brunswick. Ca. Feb u.-Eneineer
Futch. chairman OF the recent committee
from the Brotherhood OF Locomotive En-
gineers. which mot President Plant OF that
system in a conference over wages at
Wayeross Sunday week. was to-day dis
missed from the roads service.
The dismissal has stirred up more talk
amongst the railroad men. ga particular
on both lines. and the citizens ia general
years. 1t is taken as a direct Indication
that the Plant system mean 10 control
the situation absolutely, as far as their
employees are concerned.
Engineer Futch is well known here
as chairman of the committee of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers for
the entire Plant system in the recent dis
cussion with that system S officials. Futch
came very prominently 10 the front in
the labor and railroad circles Of the south.
When he came down to go out on his run
to-day he found that Engineer John Col
den had been doubled back TO Albany.
and he saw at once what it meant. He
called at Master Mechanic OVerton's Of
flee for his time check, but that official
was out
The news of his practical dismissal from
the Plant systems service became soon
well known and in response TO queries
Mr.. Futch made a statement 10 the effect
that he had been given TO understand that
he had been dismissed from the service
but had received no formal notice and no
stated cause had as yet been assigned
He said that the action Of the officials in
dismissing him was not unexpected. and
he supposed the officials thought the end
justified the means.
Master Mechanic OVerton declined to
discuss the matter at all, stating that 1t
was not his business to discuss the roads
private business or give any information
pertaining thereto TO outsiders.
Trouble between the Plant system and
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin-
GERS, is predicted by many. i is also ar
gued that the heads of other members
of the committee who conferred with Mr.
Plant in regard to wages Will be dropped
into the basket
The foundation of all the trouble. as
given by those who claim to be in a posi-
tion to know, dates back TO the appoint
ment of General Superintendent Durham,
and his refusal to sign the contract anew
with the engineers when their contract
expired. Several conferences on the sub
ject were held with Mr. Durham by a
committee from the Brotherhood. of
which Mr.. Futch was chairman
and spokesman. BY continued ef-
forts the engineers learned that
nothing could be accomplished with Mr..
Durham, and finally secured a meeting
with President Plant The meeting was
held at WaycrOss Sunday week. and was
described as a love feast" and according
to newspaper accounts, everything was
perfectly harmonious between the eng1-
neers and the system. But Engineer
Futch's dismissal has started all the old
talk over again. and the final result is
awaited with interest.
