HAYDEN'S DRIVERS GO OUT
Teamsters Quit Because some
FeIIow-wOrkmen Had Been
Discharged.

Nine Of the fourteen drivers employed by
Hayden Bros, together with two bill clerks,
quit work yesterday and inaugurated a
strike. The men claim that they took this
action because a number OF the old drivers
had been discharged. and when the manager
was asked for a reason he would give none.
The drivers want an increase Of wages
from $40 to s12 per week.
T. men came in and asked for the rea-
son we discharged two or three men," said
Edward Hayden. I'VE gave them no reason
the failings n men who had been long in
our employ. but now we can say that the
men were discharged for drunkenness. One
Of them was so violent that he was ar
rested. We sent to the police court and Sc
cured his release. He then took a pledge
not to get drunk again, but was soon at
his old practice, and. with one or two 9TH
ers. we discharged him. We are paying all
that the union scale calls for and as much
a. any other Arm. We are making deliv-
cries a little slow today, but by morning
we will be all right"
One Of the men who quit said: "It was
not only . question of wages and the dis
charge Of the men, but we are doing too
much work. Our routes are longer than
those OF any other drivers Of department
stores, and we feel that we should have
the routes cut down or higher wages than
are paid to men delivering the shorter
routes. The walkout lie not endorsed by the
union, as there has been no meeting"

APPEALING TO THE TRAINMEN
Strikers Win Ask Them to Refuse to
Haul Any More Strike
Breakers.

Union Pacific strikers have decided to ask
all trainmen on that road, embracing the
engineers. fremen, conductors and brake
men to refuse to haul another scab" over
the Union Pacific system. This action.
which has been under consideration for
some time, will go into effect this evening,
when the committee. which for the pur-
pose Of convenience and facility will be d.
vided. begins it's first solicitations. This
method is looked upon by the strikers as
the most effective yet adopted, as they are
confident that the trainmen will comply
with their request. and II so the company
VIII be placed completely at the strikers
mercy.
"of course the other part Of this propo-
sition Is that II the Union Pacific persists
In importing ~nonunion men and therefore
insists upon its trainmen hauling them in,
the latter shall strike, thereby throwing
their strength and support all directly with
u.s." said one Of the strikers last night who
Is most interested in this plan, the nat
ural superstition is that the company will
import more nonunion men, since its shop
forces are dwindling down every day. and
they must have men to run their shops.
even II these men are incompetents and the
shops run on q halfway basis. We have
thought OF this scheme for some time, but
postponed its adoption until we deemed It
necessary. Now the time has come for
extreme and inAl action and we take this
step, believing it to be the straw that will
break the camel's back. Yes, we think By
this means, that H., counting we get the
cooperation OF the trainmen, the company
Is at last defeated and must give In"

out mutual benefits that might arise to the
strikers and the peaceful organizers. In
cidentally the street car men become part
Of the Central Labor union. as we'll as
Of the American Federation of Labor, and
will contribute their share TO the exchequ-
ers Of both concerns, which. incidentally,
will aid the strikers. Besides Mr.. Wilson,
F.. A. Willis, the local American Federation
of Labor organizer, was present and spoke
upon the merits of the proceedings.
During the course of remarks Of the even
ing 1t was %causually pointed out, without
any design at suggesting a grievance, that
1t was the purpose of the Omaha street
car men to guard against sinking to the
level, in the matter of wages, Of the Council
Bluffs employees, who get Is cents an hour
for the first year, 17h the next and so on
to 20 under extraordinary circumstances.
In Omaha the regular scale is 20 cents an
hour. and this, it is insisted. has never
been 'deviated from.
A large number Of the car men who were
at the meeting appeared in their uniforms,
indicating that there is no desire or In
tention Of concealing their plans or pres
ence or Of deceiving their employers who,
by the way, were already appraised OF their
ultimate intention of organizing.

ANNIVERSARY OF GRANT POST
Twentieth Birthday Observed In Fit
ting Manner by War
Survivors.

Myrtle hall was thronged last night, the
occasion being the banquet of Grant post
No. 10 OF the Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie, to mark the passage of the twentieth
anniversary Of the founding Of the post.
The spacious hall was hung with flags and
bunting, and at the point of honor q pic
ture Of General Henderson. the hrst COM
mander of the post, was displayed. Espe-
cially to be noticed was a large frame
containing pictures OF members of the
post taken of late years and placed side
by side with likenesses OF war time days.
At the head of the hall, noted by all, was
the draped vacant chair in memoriam Of
departed comrades.
DR.. Robert M. Stone, master Of cere-
monies, called the banqueters to their
seats at S:45 o'clock and after grace by
Rev. w. r. Adams the feast was served.
DR.. Stone read Longfellow's poem on the
fftieth anniversary of the founding of
Bowdoin college, "Morituri Solutamus,"
which, with the change Of two words, was
appropriate to the present occasion.
Comrade E.. A. Parmelee read a history
ct the post from the time CT organization.
Among the facts brought out we're the day
OF first meeting in General Mandersoa's
ONCE August IS. 1882, with eighteen charter
members; the name Of the post before the
death of General Grant, which was Omaha
post. and the death OF thirty-two members
during the last ten years.
General Henderson made the principal
talk of the evening. He said in part:
Comrades, Ladies and Gentlemen: Time
was when at such meetings hilarity ruled
the hour, and the ar was full Of anecdotes
OF war. As the years have rolled by you
perceive a change In, the spirit Of the
meetings. The great names In history are
those Of the dead.no There seems little
pleasure in retrospect and less in pros
pect. We are going very fast. OF the
grand army of 10000 the greater num-
Der have passed on the other side. With
the passage OF years the feeling Of ami
mostly has grown very small; in fact,
there never was much, except among the
noneombatants. The Grand Army of the
Republic has a grand history and has done
great good" The general concluded by
reading a story giving the history Of the
loss and recovery of two presentation
pistols given him by his regiment after the
battle Of Stoney river.
Mrs. r. s. Wilson next responded to the
toast for the Woman's Relief corps. Colonel
A. ]. Keller of the Fourth Tennessee in
fantry. Confederate Soldiers association.
was the next speaker. He said that he
felt honored to be present, for such meet
ings increased his pride in American citi-
zenship. He emphasized the point that no
Spanish American war was needed to re-
store and emphasize the loyalty Of the
south, for that was done at the signing of
the peace at Appomatox.
Mrs. f.. W. Kenny of Blair, president of
the Woman's Relief corps Of the state,
spoke briefly.
DR.. w. H. Christie and H. e. Palmer also
spoke, the latter giving facts and figures
relative to the new soldiers sanitarium at
Battle Mountain.
