are that no action will be taken.

TEXAS CEpTRlL
We were informed two days ago that
strike was imminent ON tha, road. /
ttIt the officials here do not seem To +
appreheDd il; in fact, they are Of the 1
opinion that no interruption will take I
place. The word strike was not sent
over the wires yesterday at all.
We got word yesterday that a COM /
munieation, signed by the employees,
had been sent tn MIR. A. II. Swanson, I
the general superintendent, aud that

Is highly commendsble. They have
