THE UNION PACIFIC STRIKE
Manager Clark Restorins the Wages with.
out Instructions from New York.

OUT Anetructuous from new Ofks
OMAHA, May S.-The attempt Of the
Union Pacific directors to reduce tho wages OF
the employees ten per cent. has been a signal
failure. Tho freight handlers switchmen.
section men. train crews. and shop hands
on the main line and all branches and
leased lines quit work In body yes-
terday morning. and notified General Manage
Clark that thew could not accept the new
schedule. Nearly $4,000 mon thus protested
against the reduction and their united action
brought matters to a crisis. There was no
violence and no attempt to bulldozs anybody.
The men merely refused to 60 to work. and the
company wns unable to operate It's road. The
men were vel organized and behaved admira-
bly,. All perishable goods and live stock were
taken cure OF. and. under orders from tho Exc
cutive Com mitee. guards were appointed to
protect all exposed property.
At Z. NJ. the men waited upon Manager
Clark and tod him that wnges must be restored
to the old figures and that no compromise
would be accepted. Mr.. Clark wired full par
ticulars to the New York officials. and asked
for Instructions. Not receiving any reply. at IS
o'clock he ordered notices to be- posted cancel
ling the cut and restoring wages 10 the former
standard. This announcement was greeted
with riotous applause.
Mr.. Clark's action meets with unanimous
approval here. and Is endorsed by all railway
men as the only way out Of tho terrible strait
in which the road was placed by the foolish
movement OF the directors.
