spread in area, but in that case it would
only mean that the other companies
would be called upon to take up the
fight, and they would have the advan-
tage Of knowledge given them by those
who have been through the mill.
Should there be no other factor in
volved in the strike than that now
dominant, there is no question but the
general managers will come out on top.
Yesterday the Union Pacific out of
here handled eighteen trains, all told,
for the twenty-four hours ending at
midnight, as shown by the register.
This includes all classes of trains both
in and out. One train of twelve cars
of cattle was sent out from the stock
yards. destined for the river Overland
No. l will arrive about o'clock this
morning. About the yards and shops
all is extremely quiet, with but very
few men working in the latter. The
company claims that for the shop de-
partment sufficient new men have APP
piled to fill out vacant positions. It is
also reported that about 100 men daily
go to the Union Pacific offices to ask
for job of railtoading, but it is equal
~ clear that very few of the men apply
ing for positions in train service are
experienced men. They are mainl- of
a class that wants positions and regard
this as an excellent opportunity to get
them. 1t is understood that when the
Union Pacific folks decide that the hour
has arrived they will start up the shops
with plenty of men.
THE RIO GRANDE WESTERN.
For the twenty-four hours ending at
midnight, the Rio Grande Western ar
rivals and departures of trains in this
city, of all classes, shows sixteen trains
About the roundhouse machine shops
and blacksmith shops-the repair yards
as Well-all is very quiet and shows no
change from conditions existing a week
ago. The same number of special police
perambulate about the premises, but a
tired expression has settled down upon
them, as there is nothing for them to
do but put in the time.
Regular No. l arrived last evening at
o'clock, and No. went through to
Grand Junction on time. The Denver
& Rio Grande gave the Western a No.
5, and it came through at o'clock this
morning. Mr.. Welby left Grand juno
ton and came as far as Helper with it.
There will also be a No. in today,
with connections from both the Colo
RADIO Midland and Denver &, Rio
Grande. This mornings No. will be
a through train to the east.
A. R. U. SPECIAL. MEETING.
The American Railway union special
meeting held yesterday morning was
not productive of anything more than
to devise and settle upon such routine
work as is daily coming before the
union.
A. r. q. MASS MEETING.
Notwithstanding the rain came down
in sheets Just before the meeting was
billed to open up, the railroad boys were
in no way daunted, and could be seen
slurrying from all quarters as they
made a run for it, to get in out of the
wet. They were in full force, too-they
had business before them The in
gentler sex attending as on preceding
occasions.
The following telegram from James
Hogon was read. Hogon is a director
in the American Railway union. and
