A STRIRE PROYOSED, Tho striko among locomotive engincors, which i8 nt preecnt contined to the Ponnsylvania Com- pany's lines, bids falr, by tho 1st of January, to spread over nll the ronds centering in this city, unless tho maungers of our railronds should rnigo tho wages of these mon to what thoy wero bofors Dee, 1. If omo wero to bolieve tho managers of the various railronds, no strike wag evor intonded on any of their lines, nor was there ovar any disentisfaction expressed by thoir ongincers, Still, it i o woll-known fact that the engincers of their ronds havo hold mootings near {be Rock Ieland shops two or threo times during tlio last mouth, aud at oue of these meot- ings w resolution was passed to request Lhe man- agers of tho vavious rands to raiso thelr wugos o what it hod been bofore Dee. -1, and this resolution was sent. to the man- ngors. Thereupon the managors of the Burlington, Northwestern, Chicago & Alto, Tllie nois Contral, Rock Ivland, and 6uo or two otlor Roads, hold & mesting, and dugided not to sub- mit to tho demands ot thew eogincors. But tho Burlington soon aftor weakenod, and ordera were given not to reduco thoir ongineors. Cone sequently o genoral strike on all” tho roads on which_the pay.of engincers had boon roducod was_decided upon, tho strike to go into oftect shortly after ChriStmas, this being tho busioot timio in the year. Tha dey on which the strike wan to begin _was to bo désizunted by the Chiof Enginecr of the Drotherhood. THI PRESENT ONIX PREXATURE, No order boing received from that gontloman by ihe 25th inst,, tho cugincors on tho Ponnsyl- vanin Road decided to strike on their own Lool, thinking that all the engineers on tho other roads would do tho same. They woro mis- takon in their calenintions, for tho other cngineers were nok quite rondy, and there- fore they refused to joinn - them in the strike at that time. Ic will' be obsorved that Chiet Engincor Wilson, in his lotter to tho prosu yestorday, says that the Drotherhood hud nothing to do with the strike on the Pennsyl- yanin ronds. In this Mr. Wilsou 18 correct ; the Brotherhood did not want the strike on the Pounsylvania Rond ut this time, but that a sitriko had boen, and is now contemplated by the Brothorhood cannot Lo denied by the Chief Lngincor, 4 Tho munngors of the various roads contering in't] ty state (Lt the engineers are tho best paid men in their employ. These men have worked themsclves up from the position of fire- muen, snd would not bo able to earn the sume wagos they do now in a shop, THE MICIIOAN SUUTHERN. ‘The enginaers on the Michigan Southera re- ceive from 3100 to 3140 o mouti, and they wero reduced 10 por cent on the 1Int of December, The managers fear no striko, becauso tholr mon wore mostly none union mon engaged at tho time of the stiikie on their roud in 1865, Their men wero all old hands, and they would continue to work fuihtully for the Company, no matter what e~ tion whe egineers of other roads should tuke, NI ALTON 1OAD, Mr. Blackstong, the President of the Chicago & Alton Ruilrond, stated (o a I'ntpusk: ronorter, terduy, that thoy had decided to veduco tho snos of their onginicors from 8 to 10 por cout after Jau. 1, 1874, Their mon had been roceiv- iyo from $100 to 3105 w mouth. Some of them, huving short trips to mulio, received from 75 to §0 conts tor each hour thoy wero actunlly om- vloyed. My, Blackstoue could nob say whether # strile would aecur on their road or not, but they would continue to run trains even if one “should tuke placo. M.
