Another Strike of Railway Hands.
DENVER (Col.), May 4th.-Between 400
and 500 shop hands of the Denver and Rio
Grande Railway in this city and Salida
went out on strike this morning. They
demand the discharge of two Objectionable
Denver foremen and the reinstatement of
about dozen men recently discharged to
reduce the force. Inquiry among the
strikers and officers fails to unearth any
other grievance. The strikers threaten to
stop all trains except the mail if their de-
mands are not acceded to within three or
four days. 1t is reported that the men in
Gunnison, Grand Junction and Salt Lake
pledge the strikers their support, and will
go out If necessary to carry their point.
The grievances are generally regarded
here as puerile, and little sympathy will be
accorded the strikers by the public.
