The secretary was under strong pres

Norfolk and Boston were strong eornpeti-

finally influenced in his decision by these
facts:
That no less than two years time
would be required TO bring the plant AZ

UNION PACIFIC SITUATION.
Officials Say That Work in Shops is
Progressing as Usual.

Omaha, Neb., July The following
statement is authorized by General
Manager Dickinson and Superintendent
of Motive Power Acken of the Union
Pacific railroad. who have returned
from a trip of inspection
Conditions are good in all our shops
from Ogden east to North Platte. At
the latter place it was found that the
entire force of machinists and boiler
makers was out, with few exceptions
The men at that point, however, obeyed
the strike order against their will
All over the system we are doing
all the repair work on engines needed.
At Cheyenne We have a good force at
work, and are doing considerable back
work. In Omaha we have fifty skilled
mechanics at work.
1T is true that all the men at work
are not railroad machinists and boiler
makers, but they are skilled and high
priced workmen. In general, we have
as large a force of machinists and
boiler makers as we would have if there
was no strike, considering the size OF
other departments.
THE boiler makers will have been out
four weeks on Wednesday, yet our
boilers were never in better shape. Re-
pairs have been kept up whenever any
We're needed, and the reports of dead
engines are not true. No trains were
delayed on account of poor engines.
The only delays we have had were
caused by washouts.
Yet it is not our desire to I'LL the
strikers places with new men any more
than is required to continue our regu-
lar business. We believe that most OF
the men were led to strike by state
ments of their leaders that the road
would be crippled in few days and
| that the road would be compelled to
accept the strikers demands.
when the men see that this is uIl-
true, we believe they will return. ?nd
we are holding their old places :oI
them. But, of course, everybody must
go back TO piece work. The strike has
come a long way from injuring ths
railroad, and the strikers are suffer

company is from the loss of their serE-
