Know anything about the magic of the

exclusively for the ear, and we remain
unmoved by the wonderful vibration
of his great passages until we hear
them.
Poetry ought always to be heard first
and read afterward. If the best OF

lisently interpreted by the voice, the
much discussed obscurity is not in evil
dence. Many people find, for instance.

we to assume that in the absence of the

Union Pacific Strike Threat.
ened.

The general order recently is
sued by the management of the
Union Pacific, in regard to the
kind of watches the employees of
the company shall use, will I'M
doubtedly be the cause of serious
trouble on the Union Pacific UNI
less the management sees fit to
soon rescind the order.
The following appears in today's
press kilograms from Cheyenne:
Several Union Pacific labor or
CARNATIONS, including the Order
of Railway Conductors, Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers,
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Fire
men, Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, Order of Railway Tel
egraphers aud Switchmens' union,
have practically decided to fight
the new watch inspection and
physical examination orders which
will go into effect on the overland
on August l. Representatives of
the orders named have travelled
over the road and have visited the
various lodges. Meetings have
been held. Committees have been
appointed from the several organ
iZations and these will wait upon
the officials Of the road during the
next two or three days to protest
against the new orders.
Should the company remain firm
and refuse to rescind or modify
the orders, it is probable a general
strike will be ordered. Such a
step would paralyze business and
would cripple the Union Pacific.
Conservative railroad men, while
they do not desire strike and
would do almost anything to avoid
such a thing, are firm in their con.
victions that the company is en-
forcing 9 hardship upon them.
They believe that when the mat
ter is presented in the light as
viewed by the hundreds of the en-
ployes, the company will either
modify or annul the order alto
gether.
