STRIKE AGAINST NEGROES.
White Firemen on Southern Railroad
Ordered Out by Brotherhood.

Cincinnati. March To- White fiIemen
of the Cincinnati, Now Orleans & Texas
railroad struck last night. because of a
controversy over negro firemen. The
strike was III response to an order BY
committee of the Brotherhood OF Loco
motive Firemen and Engiuemen. The
action was taken by the union after a
long conference with r G. Powell. vice
president of the railroad, had failed TO
result in an agreement
While the union officers were busy
sending out the strike orders, Mr.. Powell
dictated a telegram to Washington, ask.
ing mediation under the Erdman act
The union officers refused to join in
request for mediation asserting that
their experience had led them to believe
that the men would lose, rather than
gain, by such course.
The strike is due to a dispute ais to
the status OF negro firemen. The union
asserts that the working agreement
with the road provides that negroes are
ineligible to any work except on local
and slow freight trains and on yard
engines.
The railroad disputes this and asserts
that their negro employees are entitled
to promotion on the same terms as the
white men About 220 iiremen are on
the roster Of the road.
