AFTER KICKER WAGES.
A Significant Movement by Railway
Mechanics in Iowa.

CHICAGO, September 19.-What liz de-
clared at the union headquarters here to be
part Of a general movement Of railroad me-
chanics to secure higher wages was begun
at Oeiwein, Iowa, yesterday, when the boil
ermakers employed by the Chicago Great
Western railway went on strike.
The other employees of the Great West
erns mechanical department are ready to
go out as soon as contracts under which
the men are working have expired. The
machinists and blacksmiths have served no.
tice on the officials Of the road that failure
to meet demands for an increase In wages
will result in a general walk-out extending
over the entire system.
It was said at the Chicago headquarters
of the Machinists' Union that the strike on
the Great Western has no direct connection
with the Wabash strike, except that il is
part OF general movement of the railroad

FORT BROWN ABANDONED.
Colored Troops There Ordered to An
other Station.

Orders have been given for the abandon
ment of Fort Brown at Brownsville, Tex,
and Company H Of the 26th Infantry, the
only troops there. has been ordered to
Fort Sam Houston, near San Antonio, Tex,
for station. Company H was sent to Fort
Brown when the colored troops of the 25th
Infantry left that post for Fort Reno, Okla
The cOlored troops were transferred be-
cause Of trouble with the residents of
Brownsville, on account of race prejudice.
The War Department was asked to send
white troops there, but it has been found
impracticable to do SO. Fort Brown will
be in charge Of caretakers employed by the
Quartermaster's department and is not likely
to be reoccupied by troops except in the
'unlooked-for contingency of trouble with
Mexico.
