on the Santa Fe coming Just 1t this time,
when the road has such heavy freight bust
ness, was particularly unfortunate, and al
but the scheduled trains were greatly inter-
fered with. In the general Offices ten men
ara kept busy all the time. During the day
the room presented rather Lonely appear
ance Superintendent Gemmeu and Assist
ant Superintendent Sperry and one other
man, were the only ones to finger the keys
the whole day. Mr.. Sperry held the Chicago
line open from morning until the strike was
over, but it was the only one the strikers
would allow to te used.
Whenever an attempt was made to connect
with any of the smaller stations the striking
operators would break In with cross mes
saees and Interruptions, nor would they stop
here, but would send vile epithets over the
line to the men at headquarters, calling them
"scabs" and cursIng them IN indecent Ian
guage.

Chief Ramsey on hearing that his name bad
been forged to . message ordering strike
sre shown in the following message received
here:
EAST 81. LoC1a

The man who sent out the forged buIlztin

to all our Santa Fe members, except tho
Gulf Colorado line, TO immediately return

It Is safe to say that Chief Ramsey's suR-
gestion that Barker ought to be arrested
meets with the approval of most of the men
whom he has placed In such an unfair po-
sitlon. There were many mutter.n2s of dis
gust to be heard coming from the little
groups of tslesraphers who gathered to talk
about the strike They denounce the sender
of the bogus telegram IN the strongest terms
