Will have soothing effect the Santa
Fe IS likely to have a reopeninR of It's
difficulties with the boilermakers on the
western lines, according to reports
which reach Topeka from San Bernar-
dino, Cal, today. AS stated in the
State Journal of a week ago friction
exists between the company and its
coast boiiermakers, mainly because, as
the union men claim. the Santa F'e IS
doing everything in it's power to deal
unlon1Sm on its system death blow
1t is claimed by the brotherhood men
that the company refused to forget the
recent unpleasantness and is striking
at the participants in q way which If
continued, they assert, will involve the
entire system. The following communi-
cation to the State Journal will explain
the feeling that exists among the union
men of San BernardinO:
san Bernardino, Cal, Sept 5.-Tf the
Santa Fe doesn't quit digging away at
Its union boilermakers in these Shops
said prominent union craftsman
there is going to be trouble. We know
that the company has blacklisted US
and is making it hard for us wherever
they can. 1t is the evident plan of
certain officials to knock out the union
they have an object in doing it and
that object is to get a reward that is
offered them. If they succeed they are
good fellows with their superiors and if
they don't Of course they figure that
they don't lose anything. In our deal
ings with the local officials. Mr.. Wells
and Mr.. Joughins in particular I will
say that we have received gentlemanly
treatment. All the way through our late
troubles they were anxious to get mat
tiers adjusted; but we could see plain
~ that they were prevented from doing
TINS by other officials After Master
Mechanic Park made the mistake of
snubbing us when the strike opened, Mr.
Joughins summoned us to his office and
did everything in his power to fix
things He was very much worried;
said in all his extensive railroad ex-
perience he never had had a strike on
his hands and now that he was Just
taxing hold he certainly hoped that
none would occur. 1t was the same way

with Mr.. Wells: whenever we met MN
he treated US well and I am sure did
all he could to settle the differences
But it is these others that have come
in and have not used us fairly

and they are going to try to get rid of
every one of them. They'll never do it;
but there may be another strike that
will not be limited to San Bernardino or
any one locality. l have it on good au-
thority that Grand President MCNEIL
has shown that blacklist to Superintend-
ent of Motive Power Henderson and told
him it had to be removed or he would
call out all the bOilermakerS on the SyS-
tenn. The union men in San Rernardino
now are a good class of fellows. ana
have the sympathy of the citizens OF
that place, and have had it all through
the troubles
"It is plain too that not only the
tactics which this boilermaker referred
to as being practiced by the company
were Objectionable, but there are a num-
Der of things which the men claim need
adjustment He says that the appren-
that there will not be SO many serving
their time. The machinists have been
working at different points the sys-
tenn trying to get new stipulations
arranged with the company by which
the number of apprentice boys might be
held down to about one for every five
full-f1edged machinists and that is the
same proportion which the boiler
makers are trying to have established.
Obviously it is to the disadvantage of
the tradesmen to have a large number
of men coming along to take the places
of machinists. 1t is claimed that by
limiting the number of men admissible
to apprenticeship the quality will be i'm
proved.
1T has been stated by the officials of
the mechanical department of the Santa
F'e that they. had no grudge against the
labor unions. Whether Protestant or
Catholic. union or non-union. just so a
man does his work. they all look alike
to u.s. are the words which a prominent
Santa Fe man has used more than once.
1t is not believed that there is likely
to be any immediate rupture between
the men and officials, but unless there is
a change for the better within the next
sixty days, the trouble is likely to come
to head"
