Two letters from Kennet Blackwell, Assistant Locomotive Superintendent at Belleville Station, dated November 15th and December 14th, 1876, concerning grievances of engineers and recommending their dismissal and the weakening of their union, the Brotherhood of the Grand Trunk Engineers and asking for instructions in the case of the men organizing a strike.
