ferred TO the u. II.
DENVER, March 16.-The tie-up Of
all Santa Fe trains at this point is
complete. Not single train left here
since last night, and the only one re-
ported arrived is the Kansas City ex-
press, which will reach here on time
at 2 :35 this afternoon. The engineers,
when called to go on duty this fore
noon, reported that they were "tired''
and wanted "lay-off," and others
said they we're "sick" and unable to
go out. The yardmaster made up the
"Thtnderbolt," scheduled to leave
here for the East at 10 80, and pulled
the train down to the front of the
Union depot, but as Engineer Price
had not reported up to 1925, and
there was no likelihood of his doing
so, the engine was ordered back tc
the roundhouse without any at
tempt by the company to send
out the train in charge OF a "scab. y

THE COMPANY CLAIMS
That they have no information as to
the men going out or what their
grievances are. while the Brother

from their attempt to haul Burlington
cars in direct violation OF their agree
ment not to do 80. A Brotherhood

positively knew that unless the
trouble on the Burlington was speed

port for duty, and the train had to be
sent back to the yards. Superintend.
ent Flynn, this afternoon, received
the following message from Topeka in
reply to his inquiry as to whether he
should accept the consignments OF

Topeka, March 16.-The engineers
and firemen OF the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe and Southern Kansas
companies went out at A o'clock es-
terday afternoon without notice, hav-
ing previously stated that they had
no grievances against these compan-
les whatever, and that if they left
their engines they would only do so
for the purpose of assisting the strik-
.ers on the Chicago, Burlington 4
Quincy. Until further orders you
will stop taking freight for
points on or reached by
each of ttese lines. An
effort will be made to move what pas
senger trains we can, but passengers
should be given to understand that
we do not agree to take them to their
destination. Where they have pur-
chased tickets we will redeem them SO
far as these lines are concerned, if de-
sired. (Signed) w. f. WHITE,

The company hopes to be able tc
send out a train tomorrow in the
event OF the strike continuing. The
impression exists that the matter will
be settled before many days.
THE UNION PACIFIC OFFICIALS
Deny that there is any trouble or pro
liability of a strike on their lines.
The men have given them no notice
that anything of the kind will occur,
and there can be no foundation fol
the rumored strike on the road on
Sunday morning.
AT NIGHT-FALL.
The situation of the Santa Fe strike
remains unchanged. The company
intended to send out the Chicago and
Kansas City Express tonight but the
engineers refused to report for duty
and the train had to be sent back to
the yards.
NEWS FROM LA JUNTA.
LA JUNTA, CoLo., March l6.-The
situation of the Santa Fe has grown
much more complicated during the
past "a hours. None Of the engineers
will admit that there is strike, but
all say that they are sick. Number 4
came in from the South at 5 40 p. NJ, j,
and it is expected that this is the last
train that will be allowed to run until
the strike is compromised. As this
train was leaving the depot,
the La Junta Cornet Band
appeared and played ssThe Girl I
Left Behind me-" as last farewell
to the outside world. The side tracks
are crowded with cars and the round
house is full Of engines. The engi-
neers claim that it is doubtful whether
the mail cars will even run as they
are too "sick" to allow passenger
coaches to depart on the trains. They
do not think that the Santa Fe viii
care to run any mail cars.
AT ALBUQUERQUE.
The Santa Fe strike remains un-
changed at Albuquerque. Not a
wheel turned since A O'Clock yester-
day afternoon. The men are quiet,
and making no demonstrations Of any
kind.
