GALyEsroS, Tex, Aug. "a general |
strike among the machinisss, carpenters |
and laborers in the shops aud yards |
along tho line of the Gulf, Colorado i |
Santa Fe Railroad took place at noon |
today, an order to that effect having /
been issued by the Grand Council of the |
Knights of Labor, applying to all lines |
the Workmen on which had last cause of /
grievance. The Santa Fe was included,
on the 9rouad that the men on the line |
received less pay than men working for 1
the Missouri Pacific Company, and they
had not been honestly dealt with. In |
this city an attempt was made to pre-
vent the departure Of the evening pas
senger train by blockadiDg the track.
The police, however, interfered and
removed the obstruction without oppo-
sition. Trains are now ruaning as
usual and thus far the effects of the
strike have not been peroeptlbly felt. At
Fort Worth and other prominent points
on the road the STRIFE was general. The
condition Of affairs at that place looks
serious, and although the Off ,ials sp-
pear 10 treat the matter lightiy the IN
dications are that they will be forced TO |
ACCEPT tue strikers terms.
