AN ODD ''SETTLEMENT.
Curious Phases of the "Q" Strike
and still More Curious Terms
of Its Adjustment.
How it Looks to an Outsider.
From the WurlliiKton Ilawkeye.
An old citizen who has been a staunch
sympathizer with "the boys" throughout
the strike delivered himself, yesterday,
at some length and very freely to a
llawh-Eyti reporter, on the so-called
"settlement" made by the grievance
committee at Chicago.
"The men have been deceived und
misled," he said, " by the talk of 'settle
ment.' They have been lead to believe
that the committee had secured from the
railroad some agreement or concession ot
some kind. It turns out that there was
110 settlement, nothiug but a surrender.
The company has promised nothing and
concede nothing. I don't say that the
railroad company has deceived anybody.
I've never seen where they promised they
were going to concede anything, but
there is no doubt the idea has been held
out to the strikers that by this committee
it was going to get something out of
it for them. As I look back on it now,
ii looks to me as if the men had been
misled from the start. Xo one in ten of
them really wanted to striko to begin
with. They were satisfied with their
jobs and their pay; but they belonged
to this organization that is run by a few
smart fellows, whs like authority and
naturally want to make themselves felt
They got onto the question of having the
pay governed by the miles run, ignorin
everything else, and the abolishment o
clas-.i.;catiou. It would amount to some
increase o pay cf course, the men were
willing for them to get it through
they could. The big mistake was in
giving them power to order the men out
if the company refused to yield. The
leaders showed, in the first place, awful
poor judgment, in thinking they could
force uch a larjre concern to give up
without a struggle. I have always sym
pathized with the men because I have
had many dealings with them and found
them honest and straight. But it 9&B
plsiii .'is anything, before tho 10th of
March iast yea.?, fjjat the strike was a
dead failure, The eoii;au7 teot too
many trains going. From that time on
the men have been fooled along and
along by their committees and walking
delegates of one sort and another. First
the C. B. & Q. board of directors were to
go back on Stone and Perkins; then it
was wait for the stockholders' meeting in
May; then the boycott of the Rock Island
and othet roads; then they drew the
switchmen in; then they were going to
wear the Q. out. It was always some
thing or other mysterious. The men were
kept cheerful by talk how strong finan
cially the brotherhood wiw, how it could
take care of them for years; then the
company would take them all back if
they would jield the points they struck
for, ami finally it would give them a
preference in filling vacancies.
" .Meanwhile, co far as I can see, the
company has gone right along, doing the
bust it could by the public, promised the
old m-'ii nothing; taking the ground
they had quit voluntarily, and defending
and taking care of the property as you
inig!t expect. Xow, it seems, these
burnt chaps couldn't run on talk any
longer; the body of engineers over the
country got tired of supporting j.he men
in idleness, and served notice on the
committee to wind it up. Look at that
telegram they got out of President Per
kins. He says the C. B. & Q. won't fol
low ui the boys and keep them from
getting work somewhere else. That's
kind. No body with auy etj.ie .thought
they would or could do that anyhow.
Wliv should thev? I have no idea that
Perkins or Stone have anything but the
kir. lest feelings for the old men as a
class. They themselves, like IJ.islerhave
con.e from the ground up, and have
worked with the men for years.
"Vhjn Perkins says 'our rrt duty is
to those in the company's employ' that
means the new men, Yc must remem
ber and protect tluir interests by promo
tions, and by eyery other means in our
power.' Djcs that look like making any
vacancies? Tint moans w!ure a new
engineer drops out a fiYeai in t ikes his
place. D Jes tuil lo jk like m iking mo m
for old men 1
Then, he says, if it become absolute
ly necessary to go outside for men in any
capicity, they will feel at liberty to give
an old engineer or fireman a job if he is
i the best man available, and has not been
guilty of any improper conduct. There's
no preference about tl; it. There certain
ly isn't any deception, nor chauct for
iblsuadurstanding. These walking dele
gates have lecj. the men into a snap and
left them,
Mr. Arthur goes to G4U forijlit
to represent another set of hatd-workjug
engineers and per hap induce them to
quit work. Bnt it is all over u&d tf.e
a throttle. Mj;y of them could have j

to quit work is much more sensible."

NASH'S MEETINGS YESTERDAY
I. a r ere Gatherings Morning and
Evening to Hear the Word
Explained by Him.
Union Service Tonight.
Public worship yesterday under the
leading: of State Secretary A. Nash, of
the Y. M. C. A., was largely attended
and considerable interest manifested.
As announced, Mr Nash occupied the
Presbyterian nulnit in the morning. The
services were opened by Rev. J. T. Baird.
pastor of the church. Then for forty
minutes Mr. Nash heldthe attention of
the congregation to the 17th chapter of
Mathew, from which he made a pointed
talk, using more especially as a subject,
the 20th and 21st verses.
In the afternoon the 4 o'clock gospe!
meeting, for men only, at the Y. M. C.A,
rooms, was conducted by the state secre
tary. The subject was",'; "Two Masters,"
from Mathew 6:24 and 12:30. Seating
capacity amounted to about one hundred
and thirty, and every seat was occupied
and some stood. The meeting was con
ducted in that free and voluntary manner
which makes them so interesting. At the
iqse of the meeting ten asked for prayer
and at the ater-Veeii'n'&- cighf of Iha ten
confessed conversion, and men actually
went for joy. This was the most fruitful
Su!idar afternoon meeting yet held, and
the attendance is becoming so large that
the question of more room for these meet
ings will soon be one to act upon.
In tiie evening Secretary Nash occupied
the pulpit at the M. . church and spoke
to a full house from the 22nd chapter of
MatheW. &ir rose for prayer at this
meeting,

joyable features of the evening were the
musical specialties of E. B. Fitz and
