THE STRIKE.
"When Greek Meets .Creek Then
Comes the Tug of War.'
The yards still have that "oppressive
silence" caused by the few trains passing
through and thejstoppage of switching at
this point. The side tracks are full of
cars, full and empty, whose grimness re
minds one of a "forlorn hope" standing
in a trench awaitiag tho word of com
mand to attack an almost inpregnable
fortress.
The arrival of each train is eagerly
watched by an eager crowd, anxious to
see the facet! of those in charge of the en
gine, and curious to know how the strike
is prospering.
Very few of the "brotherhood" are
present on the arrival of trains or are seen
on the streets. The members confine
themselves to their lodge room in the
Weckbach block, whore they can be seen
at any hour of the day, passing time in
some amusement or in earnest conversa
tion. They have notified Sheriff Eikeu
bary, who places implicit faith in their
offer, that should any disturbance occur,
they are willing to be sworn in as special
constables, to protect the property of the
railroad company or do anything that
they possibly can in the prevention of
theft or violence and tho preservation of
peace.
The following notices have been post
cd up in the yards:

Gen. Manager,
Yesterday General Superintendent Rob
inson telegraphed from Lincoln to Gen
eral Manager Holdrcdge, then in tli
city, to ask Conductor Al. Chamberlain
to assume the duties of engineer, and
pull out No 3 from Plattsmouth when
it ai rived from the East. He refused
Holdredge said, "Why ?" Chamberlnin
replied, "Because I believe in what's
right between man and man ! I won't
go !" He then telegraphed to Robinson
fur a pass to Lincoln, lie ditlu t get it
hut got there all the same."
The following telegrams express the
situation in Omaha and Lincoln ;
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 27.
"J. G. Salisbury, general form an of the
B. & M. railroad shops, has been rustling
around all day rustling for men. He
came to Dug Schilling, of the Schilling
Brothers drug store, who had formerly
been an engineer, and offered him any
run on the road if he would take out nn
engine today. He refused."
Om.uia. Feb. 29.
J. P. Young, Opera House, Platts
mouth:
"No certainty about trains. Do not
propose hanging around depot, waiting
pleasure of railroads. They will haye to
settle damage. I will give you Apn
10th." Harry Puiixips.
Mr. Pinneo, a prominent detective of
the B. & 31. from Lincoln, came in late
last night and left at 7 a. m. this morn
ing. He appeared anxious that his pres
ence should not be known here, but news
paper men are well acquainted with his
features.
Five men were sent here yesterday
from Lincoln to run trains, but were in
the lodge room shortly after their arrival
and refused to go out again.
G.G., a machinist in the ynrds was put
on a locomotive, apparently to carry tooli
and material around the yards. The B,
L. F. and E. soon caught on to the true
motive, and when spoken to he "got
down,'and the engine went to the round
house.
Every engine that comes in has two
oolicemcn standing in the cab, one on
each side, who are as silent and severe as
as Cerebus and Damocles, and order
away any person who approaches near
the engine. Our reporter, in his curiosity,
personally witnessed, at night.oue or two
hostile demonstrations from these genrle
manly guardians, who nervously clutch
ihe:r hip pockets and remark, "Who in
are you ?"
A detective also rides in each coach
and jumps off, in a casual manner, be
fore the train stops, and mix with the
crowd on the platform. They jump in
igain before sue starts.
No. 4, from Omaha, due at 10:30 this
morning, did not arrive until 1:03 this
afternoon. On board were fourteen men
from Pinkerton's detective agency, Chi
cago. They receive $4 a day while there
;s no trouble, and $7.50 in time of a riot,
rhey are in charge of "Cap." Pinneo, a
B. & M. detective from Lincoln,
who was in consultation with the
B. & M. officials in Omaha this morning.
-eturned to this city this afternoon and
roes to lincoln tonight. Ten of the de
tectives are on duty around the shops and
four remain at the depot.
As a train approaches and stops they
)lare themselves two on each side of the
ngine, which appears to be their only
itudy.
"Cap." Pinner said to our reporter :
'The reason of these Pinkertrn men be-
:ng here is not onjaccount of any fear
that the company has that the boys
(Brotherhood) would do. They are a
nnice lot of fellows ! No ! They
don't give us the slightest thought of
danger, but it is the bums that hang
round depnfs. jump box cars, and
the worthless do-nothings that are
constantly watching an oppor
tunity like a strike to urge other
good men to rob and destroy. I know
what I am talking about I've seen lots
of this, and I assure you we have no fear
of the strikers doing any injury to the
property of the company'
THE GREAT STRIKE.
Continued from First Paye.)
company believes that this affords a suf
ficient guarantee of just treatment, and
they are unwilling to accept any propo
sal which in any way would iu vol ve giv
ing up the control of their road. To
properly conduct its business the com
pany must be the judge of what arc the
most economical runs for its engines, and
any claim by its employe to decide where
division terminals shall be made can not
be allowed. The company must re
serve absolutely the right to ascertain,
by whatever examination it may think
advisable, whether its employes of all
classes are capable of fulfilling the duties
they undertake, and the public also de
mand that the railroad company shall
take every precaution to employ only
those men who can safely perform tlm
work entrusted to them. The company
at present furnishes free transportation to
its employes in good standing, and to
their dependent families. It also fur
nishes free transportation to employes and
their dependant families of other roads,
upon the rtouest of their managing oln
eera. This bus been our nractice for
years.'and we believe that in doing it we
are dealing generously with railroad em
nloves. To extend this to all members
of an organization, which, however good
its objects, is a purely private affair of
individuals, and to grant free transporta
tion to them R3 a right seems unreasona
ble and unjust, and moreover in direct
violation of law.
In conclusion, we would say that, while
we cannot see our wav to acceutintr vour
commiitee's proposals, we expect to pay
as much as our neighbors for similar ser
vices, and we are ready at any time to
take up tho question of wages and adjust
any inequalities in our schedule that may
be shown to exist. We can not, howcv
or. attempt to adopt a basis which says
that one one hunered-mile run should be
paid the same as another one hundred
mile run, regardless of the effort and
ability required and the difficulties to be
overcome on each, .believing, as we d
that these matters are of great importance,
we will print for distribution copies of
this communication, so that these ques
tions may be fully considered by all con
cerned. Yours truly,

TIE PAY
of the engineers and fireme n and the rules
governing them, as provided for in a
schedule, taking effect April 1, 1880, is
subjoined:
No engineer will he dismissed or sus
pended from the service of this company
without Just cause. Every engineer will
be entitled to a full and impartial hear
ing and investigation by the superinten
dent and master mechanic. It is under
stood that in ordinary cases, superinten
dents and master mechanics will not
uspend engineers until such cases have
had full investigation,
Engineers delayed two (2) hours and
over in starting from or after arriving at
terminals will be paid at work-train rates
per hour for the full delay, less one hour.
The stms rule will apply in case en
gineers have been called and afterward,
on account of wreck, are notified they
are not wanted. When delays of over
two (2) hours occur at any one point
during a trip, on account of no orders to
go on, engineers will be paid at work
train rates per hour for the full delay,
less oae hour; but if the delay be occas
ioned by a wreck, wash-out, or other
physical cause, then engineers will
be paid at one-half () work-train rat s
per hour for the full delay, less one hour.
Should engineers be obliged to double
hills on account of having more than es
tablished rates they will receive pay for
one hour's time at work-train rates. If
one or more engines are coupled in with
snow plow engines for bucking snow, the
engineer of each engine will be paid at
one and one-half work-train rates; but in
no case will the amount paid be less than
the resrular freight rates for the distance
run. In case an engineer called to buck
snow is held under orders such engineer
will receive pay at work-train rates for
all time he is so held. Engineers will be
called a reasonable time before leaving
time. The caller will have a Look in
which engineers must register their names
and hour when called. Right to regular
runs, when merit and ability .re equal,
will be governed by seniority. Engineers
having had regular runs prior to the date
of this circular will not be affected by
thit article.
No more extra engineers will be align
ed than is nncessary to move the trutiic
with promptness and dispatch, and should
any engineer feel himself aggrieved by
the aasiemment of extra enzinrcrs. he c,n
proceed as in article 1, but will receive
no pay for loss of time. Engineers dead
heading on company business will be
paid at the same as on passenger runs.
No fines will be assessed against en-
gineers. Firemen s pay will oe adjusted
in proportion to tha engineers All offi
cers will be provided with copies of this
circular, which will be kept posted in the
several engine-houses.
