| United States Marshal Nix to prevent
threatened destruction of their property

ENGINEERS STAND BY THE RAILROAD.

dred members were present at las. nights
meeting of the A. r. u, and $50 new
members were initiated. The engineers
made bold move by stating their in
tention of taking through Northern
Pacific trains from Tacoma to st. Paul.

other places had made mistake in strik-
ing, and as the Northern Pacific owned
half interest in the Pullman cars, the
strikers were simply hurting their own
road and cutting off their own employ
ment. A heated discussion ensued, the
telegraphers favoring the strike. They
were voted down and the engineers
proposition carried, The engineers hoped
by their loyalty To have their wages in
creased to the old standard.
