Southern Pacific railway at Ogden. Supt.
Bancroft. Of tho Wyoming division, has
been advised to protec, the interests Of the
Union Pacific Company and not allow the
army Of the Commcnweal to come East
unless the unemployed are able TO pay
their transportation across the country
from Ogden. An official at headquarters
said:
.'The Union Pacific will not recede from
the position taken by Superintendent Ban
croft unless the army can pay its fare on
our lines. We do not believe in moving
large bodies OF men across the country in
the face OF the opposition Of localities hay-

between Ogden and 0maha, are al

idieness, whom they feel in duty bound to
protect. To move thus large body from
Ogden to the river would mean additional
hardship on Omaha citizens pending their
further disposition east Of the river"
