This hope, however, fs not Hkely to be realized, ms it is hardly probably that three of the roads will be able to resume full operations to-day, though they will attempt to duo eo, Last Saturday the fealing fn rallway circles was very buoyant anil hopeful, and the managers were confident that the worst had passod, Yester day they were less sauguine, however, and it was feared that new troubles were in store for mostofthcm, Ithas been a matter of sur prise that daring the troubles of the past week the engineers have been so quict and orderly, and made no attempt to asalat the strikers. Heretofore, whenever a atrike on a rallroad oo- curred, it was the locomotive engincers who always took the iuitiative. Many have Leen under the belief that the strike of the trainmen, firemen, etc. was {natigated by the augineers, who only kept fu the back- ground to awalt the result of the action taken. It now looks as if this impression was correct, and that the engineers were really tho partica who brought about all thistrouble. They would lave undoubtedly come out before this and actively supported thu other railroad employes in thelr war sgafnet the railroad companies bod St not necn for the tact that the Communists, the tramps, the foafers, and the unemployed of all trades took the advautage of the troubles Detween the allroad companies and thelr em- ployea, aud assumed the)cadership.
