stand by the boycott, DuC tney ndu au-
journed before such word could be
brought before the meeting. However,
| the B. Of L. q. members in the hall
stated that they were not empowered
| to join hands until further instructions
were received by them from the grand
| lodge.
| Engineers present who were not mem
bers of the brotherhood and yet run
ming engines out of here, addressed the
meeting and stated emphatically that
so far as they were concerned they
would stand by the A. R. U. in this
struggle.
The president of the International
| Association of Machinists for the local
lodge in this city read telegram from
headquarters at Richmond, Va, au-
thorizing them to join hands with the
men now boycotting Pullman cars.
! (Applause)
j. S. Daveler, of the Typographical
union in this city, made a speech on
the question at issue, and he, too, was
applauded.
| A number of committees were APP
pointed and assigned to duty in the
different fields conducive to the best
| interests of the men now waging war
| to the bitter end, and were instructed
to call upon the order of Railway
Telegraphers and Dispatches and find
out just where these organizations
stood-whether for or against them.
This was the time to come forward and
show their colors.
Arrangements were also made for
a ''strixe headquarters" and Arm
strong's hall, corner Of Fourth West
and Second South, was secured for that
purpose.
There will be another meeting tomor-
row at o'clock sharp, for the purpose
of enrolling fifty new members in the
ranks of the American Railway union,
and afterwards there will be held the
regular meeting on routine work as it
develops.
A prominent member of the Switch
mems association, before the close of
the meeting, made speech in which
he arraigned the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers for their slowness in
responding to the call of organized
labor, in which he said: while the
ENGINEERS are passing resolutions of
sympathy and moral support, it might
be we'll to include for us pleasant
Ismile-it all comes at the same price.
In the memorable 90 affair, the en-
lgineers asked for more than that from
1.-THE loyal firemen and switohmen, and
those two bodies didn't wait to get in
structions as to what they might do
they stepped right out and stood Shout
der to shoulder with them and went
down by their side in the end, proving
their worth. The odds against us to-
day are far less-united we are winners
but where are the engineers in this
hour? Awaiting a nod from P. M. Ar
thur: sad spectacle of enthralled man
hood"
That brought down the house.
About the r. G. w. yards yesterday
there was but little work going on.
In the blacksmith shop there was but
one blacksmith and helper, with Ene
fire going, instead of the ten fires when
lat full capacity. Only four men were
at work in the machine shop, and the
same number in the woodworking de-
APARTMENT of the shops. In the paint
shops ten men were at work. About
} half the usual number of car repairers
were at work. Ten engines were in the
house, and a few engines were about.
Two car cleaners were still at work
on the coaches
About the yards were seven special
lpolice all day, and upon the arrival
J land departure of trains these were
augmented by a number of the regular
force.
Chief Pratt and Captain Donovan,
with a squad of the regular force, went
! down to see No. 4 out, and ran a line
lof ropes along the outer edge of the
platform to keep out all save those
. bound.
The cab was guarded by couple of
deputy sheriffS, who permitted none
other than the crew upon the engine,
: and they went on down the road with
the train.
Late last evening the following fele-
grams were received by the A. R. U.
in this city:
Grand Junction, July 2.-Firemen's
tie-up complete at p. m.
Rawlins, July 2.-What stand are
your men taking? All out Sure.
Answer.
The fireman who went through on
yesterdays No. / struck" on arriving
at Ogden, and the fireman on last
nights No. 4 was "scab,'' by the
name of Krouse. The stand so far tax
en- shows conclusively that the firemen
=. are out and to finish.
A delegation of railway men called
upon The Herald this morning, and in
the company was fireman who stated
that he had been offered a job firing a
regular engine, providing he would go
out on an engine when called, and that
he fatty refused to do so.
General Superintendent Welby said
to The Herald man last night: 1.-THE
engineers are not out at Grand juno
tion-put that down in your little
book
While that is true of the R. G. w.
engineers, it certainly looks as though
they were out on one or both of the
other roads from the kilograms sent by
Debs to the union here, and also one
sent to The Herald three hours earli-
er, which was the first news received
in this city to that effect.
There is a. tendency on the part of
the railroad officers, manifested for the
first time yesterday, to withhold entire
ly or give out only meagre reports,
and be it said that the best interests
of all will be best subserved by giving
to the public the simple facts govern
ing in the case. The Herald desires
only to give that which is of general
interest in fair and impartial light,
and this it will do, regardless of OBJ
StructionS from any source.
H. T. Dorothy was arrested last
evening at the Rio Grande Western
depot by Cantain Donovan for get
ting within the ropes, and he was TAX
en- to the city hail. He was released
soon after, Nick Treweek going secur-
ity for his appearance. He is not a
railroad man. and claims that he
stepped inside the ropes Inadvertently.
Assuming Serious Proportions.
