STILL STRIKING.
The Union Pacific Employees Have
Not Yet Resumed Work.
A Committee of Consultation Goes
to Headquarters at Omaha.
No Violence Attempted and a Set
Element Expected To-day. s.

The strike of the Union Pacific EN-
ployes, which began at II o'clock Wednes-
day, has not yet been terminated. The
situation yesterday was practically un-
changed, and no further moves are ex-
pected until this afternoon, when some
instructions may be received from Omaha
The first news obtained yesterday morn
ing are contained in the following Asso-
ciated Press dispatch from Denver:
DENVER, August AT a meeting of
the executive committee of the Union Pa
ciic strikers, Il communication was read
from S. Fl. II. CLARK, General Manager
of the Union Pacific company at Omaha,
through the head ofthe organization there,
in which he expresses a wish to meet one
or more representatives of the strikers
with a view of an amicable adjustment of
the difficulties. Two Representatives we're
selected who left for Omaha Immediately.
Everything is quiet at the shops and on
the streets"
It was learned here that a special train
was placed at the disposal of the commit
tee, who left Denver accompanied by
members of the executive committee. Of
course nothing has been heard from them
as yet, but something definite is expected
to-day.
1t was rumorcd yesterday afternoon that
the strikers had stopped a freight train at
Laramie City, at 9 O'Clock, and inyestiga-
ton resulted only in information confirm
ing the news Later, however, it was
learned that the train was permitted to
proceed. In this city there was very lit
tie excitement, the only event that Gre
ated any stir being a collection of the
strikers, who assembled in the yards for
the purpose of talking with other railroad
employees, Word was sent to the Sheriffs
Office that a riot was in progress, and that
a train had been stopped. A reporter of
THE LEADER arrived on the ground a few
moments ahead of Deputy Sheriff Hor-
ford, but he found everything quiet,
neither had any trains been retarded.
Later in the day men in the oil room
joined the strikers, and at dark it looked
as though all classes of employees were
waiting for word to cease work. Indeed,
the situation here was exactly the same
as at Denver, from which point the fol-
lowing dispatch was received about II
O'Clock last. night:
DENVER, August 1.-THE status of
the strike of the mechanics in the Union
Pacific shops is substantially unchanged
since this morning. A small number of
men are still employed in the yards. The
freight platform men have joined the
strikers. Everything is quiet. The men
generally can be found at their homes,
The result of the conference at Omaha
will probably be known Tomorrow"
At midnight it was ascertained from a
reliable source that the Denver committee
did not go to Omaha by a special train.
Reports from Omaha will therefore be
later to-day than wa anticipated. There
is no intoxication among the strikers, and,
as at Denver, most of them can BE- found
at their homes.
To sum up the situation, there has prac-
tically been 10 change since night before
last, except perhaps the willingness among
the other employees to join the strikers,
and there will probably be ION until the
result of the conference between the man
ayers of the road and the committee is
known.
