K As tegards the brotherhood situation s ‘expro»sofi by Chief Arthur to-day, it'is this: If they lose the fight they bage inaugurated ‘against thie Burlington system it means death to their organization. The brotherhood com- mands now from &300,000 to 500,000, and the chiefs. claim that by as¥éssment as much more can be raiséd.

Grand Master Wilkinson, of the brakemen, is yisit- iting at this time all points on the Burlington system, pledging the support of his men, Anxiety of Railroad Officials. Cnreaco, March 14,—The anxiety among the representatives of the railroads deopens as the uncertainty of the situation increas They liope that the conservative influence under Mr. Arthur may prevatl over the radienl forces and provent a gencral strike. 1f that calamity should befalt théy' would hold the Chicago, Burlington &-Quincy rail- road company responsible for it, rather than the brotherhood, for which organjzation they have a feeling of respect. The sifuation as regards that road was outlined to-night by a prominent railroad official, who was in con- sultation with othefs during ‘the day. He said: “The Chicago; Burlington & Quincy railroad company i8 responsitle ‘thm' for. the demoralization of rates in the Morthwost, as well as for the strike, The buildigif of the | Burlington & Northern by officérs of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy was a_ stroke at other roads as well as an imposition on the stockholders of the latter. 1t is not necessary to point out the fu- terests of a. few men }t ‘the reswlt of @ general demoralization, 1t48 spputéur to all familiar with railroad bisinéds. On this account there is little sympathy with the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad com- pany at present,” ““What,” asked the reporter, “is the quick- est way of ending this strike!” The railroad oficer said in reply that ‘it Ofl‘lldbebl‘puxmw a ulileerly close if the other roads would combine and serve notice ) , Burlington Quincy thut maY one 8o for the protéction of the jusiness interests of the country, as well r for the protection of their own !ufnmt. The fact is, there is great danger to the whole country in the present situation. If there should be a general strike everything would be paralyzed, and if the brotherhood shoyld be destroyed great danger would thresten this country, which, perhaps, few have umugm of.'For ycars the organization of the brotherhood has 8 as a conservative element amidst itations throughout country, It @s denounced that cowardly ~weapon used by the Kuights r, the ‘boycott,’ and has rendered in this very lm{mfl,«nh ser- vice to society. Now, lup&ou the brother- hood under Chuef Arthur is defeated in this contest, aud either radical element ggin per- manent control, or the organization i®broken into fragments, what will be the almost cer- tain result?!
