engineers, fremen, etc, would decline to
perform any work On kilograms received

ANOTHER VIEW OF TIE CASE.
St. John Insists that But Thirty-Eixht
Have Quit Work.

Have Quit Work.
Notwithstanding the foregoing it is a
question whether the strike is a success.
General Manager st. John sticks to his
statement that out of $50 operators in the
employ of the road east of the Mis-
souri,, only thirty eight left their instru-
ments at 10 a. m. yesterday. There might
be a dozen more, but he had received official
notice of only thirty eight. Regarding the
$40 men employed west OF the river he
could not speak positively, but from what
he had heard few Of those had gone out
Chief Ramsey on the other hand claims
that 800 men left their instruments all over
the Rock Island system on the recent of
his order, and that between Chicago and
Rock Island, out OF forty-eight operators
only three remained at work Which of
these statements is correct only time will
show.
Tho Road Not Inconvenienced.
One thing is certain, and that is that the
Rock Island railway was not at all incon-
venienced yesterday from lack OF operators
and train dispatchers, and everything
worked rs smoothly as usual, except where
snow delayed traffic Ii is possible that
Chief Ramsey will hold conference with
Chief Arthur, of she engineers. and Viii

How Thing, Look at Beatrice.

BEATRICE, Neb., Dec. 9-The strike OF

employed twenty-three operators. Only
nine Of this twentY-three went out The

The school entertainment and dance at
Thompson's Opera House last Friday
evening had larger attendance than any
similar gathering in long time past.
The hall was well crowded and much in.
terest was manifested. The programme
was lengthy and must have taken much
time to prepare; but on account Of the
poor acoustic properties Of the place and
numerous noisy interruptions, much Of
it was not understood. The participants,
however, deserve great credit. All went
into tho spirit Of the thing and many
were loudly praised. The dance which
followed was one Of the best which ha,
taken place in long time; the floor Wal
crowded and dancing was kept up with
out intermission until daylight.
