DENVER April 1.-THE threatened

today. The men are in the dark
in regard to the cause of the

TO Omaha TO straghten things cut. II is
probable that no decisive move will be
made until the committee's report is re-
ceived. Many of the men employed in
the shops here are Knights of Labor. the

will be about $50 trade unionists who will

200 of the men, who belong TO the Knights

assembly,, No. 81, which governs the
knights OF Labor.
For several years there has been more or
less feeling between the knights of Labor
and the Trades unionists employed on the

the strikers would have 10 combat the
knights of Labor as we'll as the railroad.
