Developments Yesterday in the
Great Railway Strike.
A MASS MEETING HELD.
THE MEN ARE STILL ENTHUSIAS.
TIC AND CONFIDENT.
Rio Grande Western Trains Were
Run Through o. H., But the
Union Pacific Was Pretty Well
Tied Up-Good Order Maintained
Important Order Granted by
Judge Merritt Last Night-Latest
From Ogden.

stages. How long it may last and what
the final result will be, no one pretends
to say.
The local situation is practically I'M
changed, except that the lines are evil

effort to effect a suspension of traffic.
| Operations on the Union Pacific were
almost wholly suspended, but the Rio
Grande Western continued to operate
under many difficulties, yet getting
traffic over the road remarkably well,
all things considered
That this company has suffered up
TO date no greater Inconvenience is
owing solely to the fact that the road
occupies a position different from all
iothers within the strike circle, as it
plies between great connecting lines
that have been given over to the atten-
| tlon OF the men out on strike and they
have been much too busy to take direct
issue with the Utah road. Again, posi-
tive orders were not at first issued to
wage war upon that line, though from
now on it will doubtless be made a
mark for American Railway union ac-
tlon, in line with an understanding re-
Gently arrived at, and confirmed by the
powers that be.
Yesterday the Union Pacific black
board was wholly destitute of trains
marked up to go out, and an ominous
silence pervaded the haunts that were
wont to resound with the busy hum
attendant upon the usual movement of

air, and walked as though grim care
had not siezed them to any great ex-
tent. During the day the company
posted up about the buildings and
grounds the following notice:
NOTICE.
To all Employees Union Pacific system,
This is to notify you that the Pull
man, sleeping, dining and tourist cars
] operated on the lines of this system are
association cars. of which the Union
Pacific company has for many years
owned and does now own three-uuar-
tiers interest. These cars are in posses
sion of the receivers. under the orders
lof the United States circuit court. ANY
interference with their operation or

the orders of the court

Receivers.
When read by the men they merely
smiled at the statement of its re-
ceivers.
The Rio Grande Western also posted
notices during the day notifying all
not in active service to abstain from
lettering about the company's premises
and in both instances it was pretty
generally observed, the men showing
no great desire to remain on the
grounds only so far as to be about dur
ing train time, and see who went out
on the engines and trains.
! Rio Grande Western Nos. 2, /, 4, and
| 5 will run through. The 2:30 D. m.
trains went out on time. but the
strikers made the claim that it was
| with a 'scab" fireman And he was
scared. A special officer escorted him
to the cab, he climbed up shaking like
an aspen, not from fear of any violence
but the click of an engine perhaps a
! little new to him, and he evidently
hadn't gotten used to it before leaving
the yard, as The Herald man was UNI
able to see any black smoke from the
stack.
At p. M, the men assembled in mass
meeting at the Federated Trades hall
when it was found there was not even
standing room for one hall of them
whereupon a recess of ten minutes was
taken for committee to go forth and
make arrangements for another and
larger hall. Walker Brothers rendered
them the use of the pavilion free OF
charge and the meeting at once adj
journed to that place.
And it was a mass meeting in the
board acceptance of the term Not
alone were the railroad men there in
hundreds. but sympathizers from all
the different trades We're there, and
promised them more than march sup
port-they would make the movement
one of common concern, they said, and
stand by the strikers to man.
The following kilograms were read:

men and senators Immediately, urging
their support to Senator Kyle's mail
