Chief Photographer Powell Does
Not Favor a Strike.
He Says tie Boycott is Unjust
in the Employees.
OTHER STATE NEWS.
Railroad Employees at Atchison
Have Fist Fight.

EMPORIA. July 6-Grand Chief Powell
of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers,
and Assistant Chief Dolphin met with
the Emporia operators and discussed the
situation. The assistant chief is in favor
of the strike but Powell is opposed to it
aud declined to order out his men. He
advised those who had left their keys to
return to work but only one of them did
so. The remainder denounced Powell
and have called meeting Of the EN-
poria lodge at which they say the chart
er of the -. r. T.. will be sent in.
Powell Says the Strike is Unjust.
81 think the present strike is unjust on
the part of the railroad men and a good
deal the result of spite work. said Grand
Chief Telegrapher Powell in an inter
view at Wichita
tsYou think their demands are unjustf''
swell, l think their cause for striking
is unjust. The fight with the Pullman
company is not the fight of the American
Railway union. 1t seems that when
Debs had made the Great Northern
come to time, he took up the Pullman
fight with the purpose OF showing the
strength Of his Organization, and be in
, terfered unjustly.7
''How do you make it result of spite
workG'
aust this way. On a great number of
roads wages have been reduced aud as a
natural result the men feel little sore
fact that on roads like the Missouri Pa
cific where the employees have been
treated fairly there is no strike"
"Wiu your organization be ordered
outs''
Mot that know of now. I have re-
ceived word from all over the country
and no one has quit so far. There is no
telling what might happen, however.
Today all may look right and tomorrow
all may be different"
sHow is that?"
"Just this way. Our men will not
work beside a scab "a non-union mani
and in case ono of the Order Of Railway
I Telegraphers steps out and a ssscab" is
put in the others will quit"
s.What would cause one of your men
to step OutY"
There are three ways. They might
| join the association of railroad unions or
in case a scab conductor sends dispatches
/ they might refuse to take them, or il
case a scab brakeman is put on and the
conductors refuse to work, they too
might refuse"
