repeated statements that our motive power
Is running down as a result Of mad quate
and incompetent help" said an official Of
the Union Pacific yesterday. The strike
hes not produced the effect its promoters
are claiming; our affairs are far from being
demorali1ed as has been asserted and re-
asserted and upon the contrary we are maxi
ing as much progress along certain lines
Of work and even more in some than before
the strike began he continued.
To sustain his point some records Of the
work done In Omaha shops and one or two
others we're disclosed. According to these
records five engines were turned out OF the
local shops last week, thoroughly repaired
and ready for use. Anticipating upon the
basis OF what has already been done this
month IL was shown that during the entire
month Of September there will be turned
out from the local shops between eighteen
and twenty engines generally repaired. This
Will exceed the average under normal con-
ditions, this official states. by about half a
dozen, the ordinary months output being
from twelve to fifteen engines.
On the whole system a total OF sixteen
engines were turned out Of the shops last
week. The corresponding week last year
only fourteen were turned out, according
to the record quoted at headquarters.
Are not those figures sufficient to show
that our work is being well performed and
our motive power kept in first class shape?"
asked the Official.

LATTER RETURNS TO TELL ON SNYDER
Can Give Details Of Alleged NegOtIn-

Traction Bill and of Suisse

ST. LOUIS, Sept, 23.-Former Councilman
Frederick G. Uthof. who, 1t is said. was
"buncoed' out Of S45, 900 Of $50, 900 alleged
to have been received for his vote on the
Central Traction bill from r. NJ. Snyder
Of Kansas City, has returned from Colo
RADIO to testify at Snyder's trial next Mon
day, and was in conference with Circuit
Attorney Folk this afternoon. 1t is believed
that Uthoff's return Is second in impor-
lance only to the return OF John X. Muir
rell and that his revelations may render
unnecessary the testimony of Fugitive
Charles F. Kelly, who is wanted by the
state 10 3 witness against certain million e
aire bribe- givers in the city lighting bill
legislation. Circuit Attorney Folk is ST.
lent on the result Of the conference. Uthoff,
who has been in Colorado the last six
months attending to mining interests, is
a most important witness for the state in
the coming trial Of r. NJ. Snyder.
Uthoff, it is said, received $50, 900 from
Snyder for his vote for the Central Trac-
ton bill. His name was last on the coun-
Gil list, and his vote was the deciding one,
1t passed the bill, which made possible
the consolidation of the street car system
Later, Snyder, IL is said, borrowed $45, 00C
Uthoff followed him. There Snyder in.
duced Uthoff to sign an agreement by
which he accepted 5000 and denied tina
any offer Of bribery had been made. Uthon
came back to St. Louis with his s., 00r

In every eight months. which is better than

the standard of workmanship being done
under present conditions in the shops, but
let these facts and figures speak for them

Since the strike began the Union Pacific
has established a shop at Laramie and the
same official quoted above said yesterday
that from ninety to 100 men are now en-
ployed In this shop and that thirty Of this
number were skilled mechanics, which was
considered a good percentage. This new
shop draws it's work from Cheyenne and
then there Is another new shop at Sidney.
which is supplied from Cheyenne and North
Platte. A goodly number Of men is at work
there also. Fifty-hve new men were nut
to work yesterday in the Omaha shops.
Thursday is the day set for the hearing

That the Injunction would be prevail.
Enect of Injunction.
Strikers at the outset announced their
intention OF obeying what seemed to them
the legal and reasonable provisions of this
injunction, but as frankly stated that
there were certain restrictions upon their
conduct and methods which they would
ignore and this policy has been pretty
generally adhered to. The picket line has
been maintained, but not nearer the com.
pany's premises than one block, which is

strike leaders have not ceased to give Out

tention and effort to abstain from demon.

men effected by this judicial decree fee

1t is understood that the Union PacI6,
will endeavor to make much of the per

Snyder's Fatal Mistake.

His remaining there made 1t possible for
him to be indicted for bribery after the
three years, owing to a statutory provision
extending the statute Of limitations in
case Of nonresidence in the state. Last
winter, when the bribery cases were first
brought under investigation, Uthoff went
before the grand jury and testified. 1t
was supposed then that he had made
startling revelations.
The four prisoners now in the Four
Courts, John H. Schnettler, John Helms
and Otto Schumacher, under $45, 900 bonds
each, and William Tamblyn. under $50, 900
bonds, made application late this after
noon to Judge Douglas of the criminal
court for a reduction of their bonds. The
judges decision is expected tomorrow.
Mrs. Charles F. Kelly. wife OF the fugi-
tive former delegate, stated this evening
that she has been fairly successful" in
securing bondsmen who will go her hus-
bands security in case he returns. She
declared she does not know his where
abouts. There was no session OF the grand
jury and the probabilities are that no meet
ing will be held until Friday afternoon,
when the final business Of that body will
be finished.
