TO SUCCEED STRIKERS
AGENTS HERE To SECURE RAILWAY
TELEGRAPHERs.
They Are Wanted for Work ON Gulf,
Colorado e. Santa Fe-Lo-
cal Indignation.

Thursday night a man registered at the
Stubbins Hotel under the name Of George
d. Avery, Of Chicago, and was Joined yes
terday by II. II. Sothern. They engaged
two rooms. and their business here is to get
railway telegraphers to take the places of
striking operators on the Gulf. Colorado
& Santa Fe Railroad. who went out Thurs
| day morning at IL o'clock. According to
the statement of Sothern, who appears TO
be the spokesman, they are not only at
tempting TO get men TO fill these places,
but also men TO fill the places of other
| operators who will likely be called out in
sympathetic strike.
When 1T became known in local railway
organizations that this was the purpose of
the men who advertised in all the daily
papers for telegraphers, there was much in
dignation expressed. A man registering
under the name of George d.. Avery stopped
at another hotel last January and tried 10
get men TO take the places OF men likely TO
strike on the Chicago & Northwestern. The
railroad men assert that il is the purpose
and business of these men TO hire men 10
take the places of striking men, and will do
all in their power to disarrange their plans
| This morning a committee representing
the engineers. firemen, conductors brake
men and telegraphers will wait upon Avery
and Sothern. Their time of receiving APP
plicants is at 10 o'clock, but before that
the railway men will have a mmitt at
the hotel ready to intercept any who may
call. IL is not for the purpose of practic-
ing any intimidation upon applicants, but
they will be taken aside, the situation in
the Southwest explained, and they will be
asked to remain away. Should il become
necessary, the railroad men say, they will
ask the assistance of Central Labor Union
in preventing %nonunion men from being
shipped out of the city to take the places
of the telegraphers on the Gulf. Colorado
e. Sante Fe. The local officers of the rail-
way mems organizations will inform the
unions in the Southwest of the attempt TO
fill vacancies. and 1t is expected this will
hasten a general strike, unless a settlement
is effected.
The committee of railway men say they
will stay at the hotel so long as Avery
and Sothern remain there and will use
every effort against them. The committee
will first hold a conference with the two
men, If an audience can be obtained, and
they will be asked to leave the city. Should
the committee fail In this attempt they
say they will devote all their time to
