THE ii. OF ID. E. MEN,

| The members of the 3. of l.. E. We're
! right up in front of the procession, and
told how already some Of them had got
down off their engines in response to
the call issued by their leader, Eugene
V. Debs. Twenty-Five of them with
drew to the ante-room, and when in a
few moments they emerged, the spokes-
man announced that the B. of L. e.
was with them in the struggle to a
man. lGreat applausel.
THE MACHINISTS STAND FIRM.
The members of the International
and upon returning announced that the
machinists would join hands and see it
out.
And the switchmen-well, they just
rose up in body with the simple re-
mark, 1--WE are switchmen." And that
told volumes. 1t told that they were
with the A. r. U. ship-their colors
f1oated they would be on top, and if
engulfed, they would go down proud of
the fact that they had died in what
they deem a noble cause.
THE CONDUCTORS SPEAK UP.
Conductors talked right out too, the
o. r. G. men-they were even then
holding meeting of that order in
ogden, and it would be reported duly
what action to take. Members present
had no hesitency in saying they would
fall in line. The brakemen were not
backward in speaking up either. Some
were then in the hall who had been dis
charged that day for refusing to go out
with the 'Scab' f1remen. The name of
the man who "scabbed" on Fireman
Gillespie is given as Krator and it was
stated that he was expelled from Dem
yer lodge No. 273. B. of L. F. Brake
man Winslow refused to go out with
him, and was discharged in conse-
Quence.
THE RAILWAY CARMEN.
The Brotherhood of Railway Car
men were there in force, and they were
as one man in standing by the A. r. u.
Travelling railway men now present,
men without jobs, and every man of
them stood UP singly and spoke his
piece" 1t all went to show, said one,
that men who had been idle from one
to nine months declared that nothing
could tempt or compel them to accept
Work-much as they needed it-until
the Pullman matter was adjusted on
lines satisfactory to the American
Railway union, now conducting the
fight on lines of principle clear to all
alike. [Roars of applausel.
1T WAS UNANIMOUS.
A resolution was introduced pledging
unanimous support to the American
Railway union in all it's actions taken
In boycotting the Pullman cars, and
also favoring and agreeing to stand by
pne same in the fight now asked to
mold up their hands. And every mans
hand went up with cheer.
THE IRREPRESSIBLE STUBS is
BARRED OUT.
The "agitator," John Stubbs en-
deavored to gain access to the meet
Ing, having some resolutions under
way in his mind, but he was barred
out. The railroad men appreciate the
sympathy of all workingmen but if
rendered them it must be done quietly
and not in way to reflect any dis
credit upon peaceful methods.
A UNION PACIFIC ORDER.
while the meeting was in progress,
word was received that an order had
been posted at the Union Pacific shops
announcing that after o'clock last
evening there would be no work done
but that specially assigned. 1t was
agreed that even special work would
not be done under any circumstances.
THE BEACH TRAINS.
The question of allowing trains to
run to- the lake resorts was taken up
and while the men said they regretted
taking such action as would in anv
way deprive the public of enjoyment.
they were allowed nol discretion in
the matter and would have to include
the Garfield Beach trains in the gem
eral tie+up. Saltair trains will not be
interfered with as they do not hauI
Pullman cars Neither will the Utah
Central for the same reason.
After three hours session, in which
committees We're appointed to look af-
ter certain Details they adjourned to
meet again today ait the same hour
and in the same hall, No. so West Sec
ond South street The meeting TODAY
will be an important one, as this is CON
sldered to be Derby day. on the
strike here.
A FURRY AT THE WESTERN DE-
About the yards last night all was
quiet. A furry of excitement was oc-
casioned at the Rio Grande Western
depot last evening on the arrival of
No. 4. When the train stopped, the
fireman, A. M. Davis, better known as
Dad" took water o. k, and then
stepped out into the crowd to see
what 1t all meant" General Super
intendent Welby, who was standing by
awaiting any such Developments,
stepped up to him and told him to get
back ON the engine if he was going out
on that train, and Dad in turn re-
Piled: well, L don't think I'll go
OUT
Nor did he. He climbed back in the
cab and got his clothes, and on alight-
ing was greeted by applause from the
hundred railway men about.
THE TRAIN PULLS OUT.
1t is stated that Engineer Sanford
promised the men he would not go
out with any but a Brotherhood fire.
man, but after one hours delay there
was found a man to ''scab" as the
union men designate it. He is Mr. !
Coleman, and was 'hostler's helper
at the round house. The train then
pulled out, though it was said it would
not find an engineer to help up
Soldier summit. This could not be
verified last evening.
An extra freight that pulled in from
Ogden last night on the Rio Grande
Western going east, was tied up, as
there was no yardmen to switch it, and
the engineer on the train refused to
do So
The switch engine was put on the
spot early in the cleaning, and al
lowed to remain there some hours, as
the engine crew would not work with
what they term ''scabs.''
