A Fort Worth and Denver Employe--
The strike at the shops was "A sudden
one The l'uion Pacific order was wired
10 keep az work, then soon afterward
the mochinists were ordered out by their
fraternity and then the boilermakers
were ordered out. IL Is a mistake that
the men only worked until noop on Sat
urday, they worked an day; IL was also
n mistake that Master Mechanic Hayes
was out Of the city ! don't think the
hours had as much 20 do with IL AZ the
rate Of wages. IL seems 20 me that with
the laborsaying machinery, where one
man can do the work OF four, that the
one man should be paid better wages.
i don't know what WAS the immediate
cause. The company had posted a bul,
letin that there would be niue hours
work after May 10. which ~ the time
agreed upon between the company and
the men. The order 90 strike came from
headquarters. and / suppose extends
throughout the entire system.
