point are very uneasy and delegation OF
them to-day visited the rooms of the
grievance commit ee and asked for orders
TO strike. This was not granted, but the
inference drawn from conversation with
the committee WAS that the men on the
Missouri Pac 4: would go out TO morrow
and the UGion Pacific would go on Sun
day. The committee says positively that
there can be no compromise in this mat
ter; that not road will be run until the
men are reinstated on the go"
