BAD BREAK
IS IMMINENT
Between Sixty-one Railroads
and Engineers
Both Sides Refuse to Farther
Compromise
Matter Of Grave Import Holds
Back Both Sides

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-The situation in
the wage dispute between the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers and
sixty lone railroads west, north and
south Of Chicago TO-DAY became criti-
cal, and it was admitted in all quar-
tiers that a sudden break in the ne
gotiations would not be entirely un
expected.
None of the parties TO the c0ntro-
versy, the board of railway managers,
Grand Chief Warren S. Stone of the
brotherhood, or Mediator Charles P.
Nell would say anything today touch
ing on the situation. Elsewhere it was
learned that despite the fact that the
two parties at issue were only a
trifling percentage of the present wage
schedule apart, each side saw in the
efforts of the other matter of grave
import, which overshadowed the mere
dollars and cents involved and hence
each was unwilling to come farther.
1t was learned that both sides had
advanced closer to the compromises
than they were when Mediator Neill
was called in. Then the engineers
were asking an approximate increase
in wages of Is per cent and railroads
were offering approximately 9h per
cent.
1t was unofficially admitted today
that this difference had been cut more
than half However, the suggestion
OF the railroads that the whole matter
go to arbitration under the Erdman
act stirred up new trouble, it was said.
The engineers were said today to be
willing for arbitration but only on the
existing differences. There is likeli-
hood according to unquestionable au-
tl1nrity Of q break in any direction at

Ivan to imprisonment for sixty days
in Jail for introducing liquors into
Traverse county, Mimi, in violation OF
the treaty Of 1851 with the Sioux In

PENDANT had entered a plea OF guilty
to the indictment charging him with
this ofEense. After the sentence was
entered, an act OF congress passed
Feb. Is, 1858, was discovered by coun-
sci, and he moved TO set aside the
Judgment upon the ground that the
Indian treaty had been annulled by
this statute.
A Brief History.
A brief history Is necessary to I'M
derstand the case. In 1851 various
bands Of the Sioux Indians claimed
title to all that portion Of tho state
of Minnesota lying south Of line
drawn southeasterly from a point on
the Red river at the mouth Of Buffalo
creek, few miles north of Moorhead,
