The Burlington And The Strikers

Chicago, May 21. - Rumors were circulated Saturday that the striking engineers and firemen of the Burlington road had practically acknowledgod their defeat and made a satisfactory arrangement ■ with the road to be taken back on the old terms. Chairman Hoge, of the strikers' committee, said: "There is no truth whatever in the report. We expect that the inquiry by the inter-state commerce committee vvill begiu June 10, at which time we shall present a great quantity of evidence to show that the road is now badly run." The railway officials deny the report that notice bas been given the engineers in their employ that they must run their traius without pilots af ter the 30th, and that the notice woulil result in the discharge of 00 per cent. of the new men. They say if such notices have been posted it bas been done without authority, as the uew men are entirely satisfactory.
