Lsst night's train went only as far as Crookatoo, and the road from Grand Koi ke west is reported tied up com pletely. The triangular nature o( the contest is exciting much boumenl among both railway officials and strikers. It is considered somewhat in tin na ture of a tight for existence on tUO jnrt of the brotherhoods: for if defeated and comp-dled to join the American Railway union, the present members of that nnion, having a large majority, would control its affairs, and engi neers, Bremen, conductors and train men or the brotherhood would have to submit to the greater voting power of tile lower paid employes.
