"What , " asked th6 repo'rter , "is the quick
est way .of ending this strike i"
The rallrdad ofllcor said In reply that Jjlt
could b6 brought to n speedy clos'o If tjio
other roads would couibino and acryo n6tlco
on the Chicago , BUrllngton it Quiucy thut
they had done so for the protection of the
business interests of the country , ns > voll as
for Iho protection of their own Interest. The
fact Is1 , there Is great danger t6 the whola
country in the present situation. If tlioro
should bo n general .strike everything would
be paralyzed , and if the brotherhood should
b < j destroyed great danger would threaten
this country , which , perhaps ; few Jiavo
thought of , For years the organization pf
the brotherhood has slocd ns a congorvnjlyo
element amidst agitations throughout
the country. It has denounced that
most cowardly wpapon used by too
Knights of LaTer ; thp 'boycqtt,1
and has rendered In hls , very jmportont ser-
vipo to Socletj' . Now. suppose the brother
hood under Chief Arthur Is defeated In this
contest , and cllhcr radical element gain per
manent control , or (140 ( organization iroroKeu
Into fragments , wjiat wiubojho almost cer
tain result ) Boycotting organizations will
gain recruits from the engineers and firemen ,
and tbcro will be no longer a conservative la
bor organization in this country to resist radi
calism. I Is a tiuostlon whether thp other rail
road companies can afford thd have the Chicago
cage , Burllngt6n & Quiucy succeed in its
contest. Cert alnly the country Is in the pres
ence of a great 'danger.1'
The reporter' asked if there was a HKoll-
Kood of 'tho oompahies combining , The officer
