TWO ORDERS MAY UNITE.
Movement to Consolidate the Locomo.
tiv0 Engineers and Firemens'
Brotherhood.

Special to Times-Republican.
Burlington. Sept. 2s.-Local railroad
men intimate that there is a movemen
under way to unite the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers and Flremen and
the two organizations may soon be fed
Grated into III great union.
Second We 11c&ijens SEA. of the
firemen's organization. is said TO be the
leader of the consolidation movement
and it is further stated by members
of the br~otherhoods, that the federation
scheme is meeting with much encour-
agement from the grand officers. as
well MS the members of both organiza-
cations.
For years there have been a great
number of engineers and flremen who
have favored consolidation. but until a
few months ago, the late +. NJ. Arthur,
grand master OF the engineers broth
erhood, opposed the merger. Shortly
before his death he is said to have been
won over to the consolidation idea. and
was a strong advocate of the move
ment.
According to the rules OF both or
CARNATIONS they may be merged at any
time by a majority vote of the mem
bers. The question OF federation has
never been voted n, but the engineers
and 1iremen may be called upon to
make a decision before the expiration
of TIN. presen. year. The local ocomo-
tive men do not give out their positions
in the matter.
The joining of the two brotherhoods
would make one of the strongest labor
unions in existence, with a member
ship Of more than $4,000 skilled work
men. The fiIemens' organization now
has 10000 members, while the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers is more
than $4,000 strong.
Advocates of the consolidation argue
that there is no need of maintaining
two organizations, as the engineers and
firenlen are closely allied, the fremen
of to-day, becoming he engineers of
tomorrow.

No time was lost by Attorney Tai

pass sentence upon the defendants
who had pleaded guilty. Judge De

been punished for whatever offense
they might have committed.
In few words Judge De France
stated that he had no personal feeling
whatever in the matter and that he
knew but one of the defendants before
the case had been brought to him. He
sentenced Tammen and Sadler to
serve one day in the county Jail and
to pay a fine of 800 each with the
costs of the suit. A similar sentence
was imposed upon Schrader.
The costs of the case, exclusive of
the fees of the special prosecutors,
