ployes, who have not been dismissed, can
have work ct their places upon Monday
morning next. All persons not then ct
work will be paid of, and notice given that
they must not again be employed In the
service Of the company.
WHAT THIS ALL MEANS.
IL Ia understood, Of course, that this action
OF the company brings matters 10 an imme-
date crisis. Il Is said that the Knights Of
Labor will order general strike upon the
line Of the road - soon Is this decisive step
10 taken. So far - can be learned from the
officers Of the company at this place, and
from Mr.. Bromley, the representative OF
President Adams, the company Is perfectly
willing TO have the issue made 1t this point
and upon this plain question. Mr.. Bromley
was asked to.day by the editor of the Rock
Springs paper with regard to the company
position on this question. He said he had
not the slightest doubt that the directors OF
the company, sooner than retreat from the
position they have taken and submit to the
dictation Of the men engaged in these out.
RACES, they would
SURRENDER THE ROAD
TO the Government. Being asked what diff.
ference that would make to the circumstan-
ces, and how the Government could run the
road any better than the company, be said :
"That, Of course, Is for the proper authori.
ties TO say, but this Government has been In
= position within the last twenty five years
where 1t was necessary to run railroads and
administer their affairs, and do not remem-
Der upon any occasion that there was auy
lack Of engineers, firemen and laborers In
the army TO meet such emergencies" he
said to represent alive Of local paper: 81
think you may safely say to your readers,
the miners and citizens of Rock Springs that
the Government Of this country will keep
open communication between San Francisco
and New York whatever organizations or
combinations Of men may undertake to pre-
vent 1t. The present question" he said, ais
something beyond dispute between the
I'm on Pacific Company and its employees.
The action Of the miners and citizens OF
Rock Springs has made this
AN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR,
and these troops are here not so much TO
protect the property of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company, although that 10 incident
to their being here, as to maintain the honor
Of the Government and Its treaty obliga-
tions. The faith and honor of the United
States Government are pledged In the most
solemn manner for the protection of these
Cinnamon. So far as the Chinese question
Is concerned, the railroad company might
dismiss 1t or turn It over to the Government.
The contract deliberately entered Into by
the Government Is to defend and protect
these men In their employment. The Gov
eminent cannot
AVOID OR EvADE THE OBLIGATION
to restore these men to the positions In
which they were before the outbreak occur
red, and the citizens Of Rock Springs who
have presented their grievances, and who
demand IS their ultimatum that the Chinese
must 60, are not making an issue with the
Union Pacific Railroad Company, but with
the United States Government"
The present outlook Is more favorable for
Q peaceful settlement than 1t has been for
several days. The Chinese Consuls will
remain here, continuing the investigation
for week at least.
