LOCKOUT
OF the BIacksmiths. uachinists aud
BoIIermakers Employed by the
Milwaukee and st. Paul Rail-
road Company.

MILWAUKEE, August Yesterday noon
some few machinists working in the Milwau-
kee and ST. Paul shops, in this place, feeling
themselves aggrieved at a slight reduction in
wages, quit work. They waited on General
Manager Merrill for the purpose of talking
the matter over, but owing to his being I'm,
well-he having Just returned from the west
the conference was postponed until to-mor-
row, at which time it is believed an amlcable
settlement will be reached and the men re-
turn to work. There has been no disturb
ance, and none is anticipated.
The trouble at the shops of the Milwaukee
and st. Paul railroad assumed a new phase
to-day. Saturday night the men who quit
work at noon held meeting and resolved to
accept the reduction, but at the same time
protesting against it. They went to the
shops as usual this morning, but found no.
tice posted ON the door to the effect that those
who withdrew from service on Saturday are
hereby notified that this company is not dis
Iosed to furnish them with employment until
further notice, nor until such time as a mu
tual understanding shall be had. The men
then assembled at their hall, where speeches
were made by several members and a resolu-
ton passed declaring that this is not strike
out but Il lockout. A committee waited up
on General Manager Merrill but no definite
result was reached, and another conference
was appointed for tomorrow. Between three
hundred and fifty and four hundred men are
idle in consequence OF the trouble. The rail-
way officials say the reduction only affected
those who were receiving more than two dol
lars and a half per day, and that in no
case did it exceed five per cent,
1t being done more to equalize
the pay than anything else, as
the entire saving of the company aggregates
only two hundred and twenty per
month; that the trouble is caused by few
agitators, who themselves have been receiv-
ing the highest wages paid by the company,
but they have, through the union, compelled
tho others to stand by them. In regard to
the resolution adopted by the union on Sat
urday night. the managers of the railway say
it was put through The door into the letter
box, and not found until the notice of the
shop had been posted. They also say they
believe the men also resolved to go to work
this morning with the understanding that a
