BULLETIN.


CHICAGO. March 12-Admissions were
made on both sides tonight that the con-
troversy between the $1,000 firemen oper-
ating on 10000 miles of railroads west
northwest and southwest of Chicago, and
the raiload managers, had become critical
and that the question Of strike, the tying
up OF practically all systems between here
and the Pacific coast would be settled
within forty-elght hours
F'iremen on all the roads operating out
of Omaha, as well as on the forty-nine
roads running west and southwest Of Chi
cago, may be called out on strike within
twenty-four hours. There are those who
predict that all roads will be completely
tied up Monday morning.
From Chicago comes the report that the
railroad managers have again turned down
the committee representing the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Flremen and Englnmen on
the wage demands and on the seniority
question. The firemen had already vote1
to walk out II they were refused rtcognl-
tion, and If the report from Chicago is
true the biggest strike in western railroad
history now seems imminent.
Union Pacific firemen are awaiting in
structiors from c. v. Mclaughlin OF
Omaha, chairman Of the grievance com
mittee, who is one of the firemen in con-
ference with the railroad managers. d.
W. Smith Of Council Bluffs, the treasurer
Of the Union Pacific branch Of the fire
mems organization, who is at the head OF
affairs at this junction. had received 10
advice from Chicago yesterday
At the Millard hotel the executive COM
mittces of the conductors and trainmen
are still in joint session. It is thought
they have delayed adjournment. awaiting
the outcome Of the fIremen's trouble.
IF the flremen have been turned down
there will be a strike" declared the chair
man Of one of the committees. 1T is a
serious proposition. However / think the
report from Chicago is a trlfle premature;
the men are still comforting with the rail-
road managers so far as / know"
I'm case the firemen go out there will
not be a sympathetic strike OF the en-
gineers or conductors" said e. K. Nc
Intosl, chairman OF the conductors conf
mittee. The engineers will remain by
their side of the cab, but there would be
no one to take the place on the other side
There are no available men"
