THE SANTA FE TE[EGRAPHERS
Their Strike Was Sudden But Had
Been Prepared For.
MEN CONFIDENT OF VICTORY.

Wichita, Dec. Ill A Newman, of
this city, who is general chairman of
the Santa Fe division of the Order of
Railway photographers, including the
entire Santa Fe system, issued an or
der to workers for the Santa Fe to stop
work, invoice their offices and guard
them until some official of the road
should check them out. The strike
has been brought about by the trouble
between the operators the Gulf,
Colorado 81 Santa Fe and the officers of
the road, and the general strike was
ordered in sympathy to the cause of
the Gulf operators
s Mr.. Newman, who has been employ
ed in the Santa Fe division office here
for about ten years, says that there are
something like 1900 telegraph en-
ployes on the Santa Fe system and it
will be utterly impossible for the com
pany to fill their places. We are out
and will stay out until we win all of
the conditions. in which case viii
return. One of the conditions is that
all of the non-union operators must be
dismissed from the service of the San
Ia Fe.
Topeka, Dec. 11.-When the strike
order was received here the operators
in the general offices and at the depot
quiz work WITH only n very Few eX-
ceptions- c. G. Sholes, superintendent
of telegraph of the Santa Fe went to
work at the key and so did General
Manager Il. U Nudge, and there were
others found in the departments, suhi-
cient to do the most important work
Mr.. Nudge said that he anticipated
no especial trouble in the operation of
trains most of the trains are run
ming on time table schedule, and that
a great many new men had been Sc
cured already and more of them are
constantly applying for positions He
said: The whole trouble hinged on
the rules and regulations. The wage
scale was up for consideration, but the
road agreed to arbftrate on that point.
The rules and regulations have been
up and were not settled The road
would not agree to the rules which
were asked by the men, and the strike
is the result
The operators in Topeka say they are
sure to win in this case and feel GER
tain that they will interest the other
railway organizations in their behalf
L. c. Badgely, assistant local chair
that the fight between the operators
and the Santa Fe is a fight to the fin
ish. They feel that they viii win, and
will hold out until the matter is
settled There is no doubt but that
we will interest other railway Crgan-
izatiOns in the cause, and are at pres
ent arranging for meetings with
them. -
