WILL ALL GO BACK TODAY.
The Machinists at the Locomotive
Shops Start in This Morning.

At the headquarters OF the machin-
lists in the Watt building yesterday af-
teronon there were not many of the
locked-olt men. The few who were
there. though, were happy in the cX-
pectation that all of the forty-two men
who for the past ten days have stuck
to each other in Lneir mutual struggle
were to go back to work this morning.
The company has granted their de-
mand of extra pay for extra work, and
all seems serent now.
The forty-two men We're discharged
on Thursday. April 4, for refusing to
work overtime. Two weeks previously
they had given notice to Master Me-
chanic Rennie that they would not
work nights unless they received pay
at the rate of time and quarter for it.
On April a. shaftinS broke. Mr..
Rennie asked man after man to stay
that night and repair the shaft. Each
man asked refused to to so and was
discharged. This continued until for
ty-two men had been laid off, and then
Mr.. Rennie desisted. The men dis
charged pooled their interests and re-
solved that none of them would go
back unless all We're rcinstated. On
Saturday the discharged men hired
the upper floor of the Watt building
and opened headquarters, prepared to
stick it out. The end OF the struggle
had come sooner than they really an
ticipated. Through the efforts Of
committee sent to Al. Slack, their de-
bands were recognized as just ones,
and they have been granted. Not
sign of turbulence or misconduct of
any kind has marked the ten days
waiting for recognition OF justice. The
only demand these men have made is
that they receive extra pay for extra
work. The statement has been printed
that this was not the. only grievance
the men have and that the lockout
would not be settled by its being
granted. That statement is incorrect.
it was the only question considered.

PELcHER is SURELY DEAD.
A Letter from the Klondike Confirms
Previous Eumors of His Demise.

The death. Of Frank J. Belcher, who
Went from this section to the klontlikc,
has at last been verified. Belcher went
to Alaska several years ago, and re-
turned to this city last summer. Late
in the fall he vert back to the frigid
land of gold, and a. short time ago a
rumor reached this city that he had
died there.
Clarence l.. Spencer, cashier of the
Miners and Mechanics bank, received
a letter from Dawson City on Satur-
day verifying the rumors and stating
that the body is being held there until
word is received from his people.
Mr.. Belcher. who was reputed to be
one of the richest men in the kondike,
died of pneumonia, just as he was
about to leave for his home in Penn
Sylrania where he proposed to retire
on q, fortune of at least $500, 900.
