1t is reported that the men are not
satisfied and will not 60 to work.
WILL BE RE-PRECIPITATED.
Mr.. Ed O'Bien returned from
Yoakum last night aud reports things
in good shape for the strikers.
The members of the federation were
bound by the agreement entered into
by Thurston and Garrettson, but the
Brotherhood of Firemen, the Order of
Brakemen and Order of Switchmen
did not belong to the federation and
only quit work when the strike was
precipitated, because the other orders
had tied up the road and there was
nothing for them to do. 1t is claimed
now that these men were not in the
strike, but during all these % days
the strike has been on
they have not been called on to take
their posts Of duty and are not re.
sponsible for the continuance of the
trouble. On yesterday
THEY APPLIED IN A BODY
at Yoakum aud at San Antonio TO
their places and were told that there
were no places vacant for them. They
protested that the places they occupied
when the strike began had never been
given up by them, that they stood
ready at any time to go on duty but
were not called by the company, and
were, therefore, not responsible
for the apparent vacancies,
They were told that their applications
would be listed just like new men,
and at this the men earnestly protest.
ed and the matter goes before the
proper Officials of the orders. The
men declare now that the grievance OF
the firemen, breakemen and switchmen
is genuine and the strike will be re-
opened by them with dead sinch on
its legality. What knocked the boys
out in the other strike was its illegality.
Additional strike news will be
found in the telegraph columns.
