The Brakemen's Strike on the Onion

Regard the Situation.

, The brakemen's strike has resulted in
; victory for the Union Pacific Railro,
management and an inglorious defeat f
the strikers. Regular freight and passeng
traffic is resumed on the entire Unie
Pacific system, and many extra trains a
transporting the large accumulation
freight which had been tied up at sever
points by the strike. The places of IL
disafferted brakemen have been filled by me
who disclaim allegiance to the Brakenen
Brotherhood, and that organization hs
not beeo strengthened by it's failure t
to make the railroad company accede t
it's terms.
| ~ AT THE BUTTE DEPOT
the strikers did not succumb without e,
pressing their feelings in manner to-
plain fpr misinterpretation. Sheriff Sull
vans posse ofseaponed deputies were doz
ing at theirposts yesterday morning, JUS
as Sol vas beginning to pep over the east
ern hills, when they were rudely awakened
by an empty car which came clatterin
down one OF the sidings. The deputie
made simultaneous rush for til,
disturber OF their dreams, and Ihil,
some OF them exhibited common sense b,
attempting to stop the car, others emptieo
their revolvers in manner denoting semi
awakened bewilderment. The car did not
stop until it reached the switch, when il
jumped the track, bumped over some fifty
sieepers. and came to standstil. While
the Deputies were clustered around the de.
rallied car, discussing the situation, some
enterprising vaudals covertly cut the air
hose OF 1orty-five empty ore cars which
were scattered over the yard, and thus dis
abled the breaks of every car tampered
with. As soon as this work OF destruction
was discove, ed. Assistant Sup rintendent
Leslie arrived on the scene, and under his
direction the damage was promptly re-.
paired.
ON TO ANACONDA.
At p. m. the crowd OF idlers on the plat
Torn, began TO notice an unusual stir IN the
vicinity OF the ore train which had stood
on one OF the sidings since last tuesday,
awaiting an opportunity to start for Ana
conda. 1t was the delayal of this train
that closed down the Anaconda Con,pa
nys smelter, and it has been an object of
interest to severy person who visited the
depot lille the tie-up existed. An engine
under full steam was kept constantly at it's
head, but until yesterday afternoon the
men in the cab did nothing but smoke short
olpes and gaze languidly at the
'rowds which stared so i1tent!y
1t them. About 2 p. H. ye:-
erday, however, the smoke-be eyrimed
nsineer snd fireman began tn bestir them
elvs:, sas3 the former, suddenly,+ sta -tled
he spectators by signalling ''off brakes"
The echo of the two shrill toots had hardly
LEO away when the wheels of the huge
locomotive began to revolye and amid a
latter OF coupling attachments and a
cries OF hoarse puffs from the smoke-stack |
he line OF cars slowly followed their |
eaders. The crowd on the platform
agerly watched the slowly-moving train.
oubtless expecting to STE it fall asunder
had its freight-laden predecessor on the
revious day, but the crowd was dis
ppointed. The tram glided gracefully to
he main track, where it halted for a
loment to receive the caboose, a d then
ith a departing shrek of mingled triumph
nd defiance the engine and cars dis
in the western haze. A. 6:1Op.
}: it arrived at Anaconda, and re-
lived an ovation from hundreds of I'M
illingly idle men who lined the track and
atforms. To them its arrival meant q
lease from enforced idleness and conse-
lent privation. The slogan of the High
nd troops which brought reliefto besieyed
lucknow vas not hailed with more delight
ian the whistle Of the train which last
ening conveyed ore and employ ment to
e Montana Swansea.
FLAGGlNG INTEREST
nong the throng at the Butte DEPOT be-
me apparent as soon as the ore train {
r Anaconda had disappeared, and a
pid thinning out OF the crowd followed.
3:45 p. m. the regular mixed freight -,
ain for Garrison, in charge of Conductor ,
ills, steamed away without encounteriug
shap or opposition, and shortly after
rived and dispersed the crowd. Two
Ore freight trains from the south arrived .
ring the afternoon, and no attempt was !
ade to hinder their arrival or to molest Z
cir crews.
Thus ingloriously ended a strike which | v
8 lll-advised and born to meet defeat, v
e orakemen who to-day find themselves Q
nus employment can only censure their II
n impetuosity and lack of organization
their unenvia BILE position. r
