Strike Brewing.

The bridge carpenters and Sec

and 7. & o. G.. railroads received
notice Thursday that hereafter
eight hours would constitute a
days work and the same rate per
hour for which they had been
working would prevail.
This order effects between 400
and 500 men, and they are very
much dissatisfied with it. They
have not been working for several
days, only few of the trackmen
to repair the necessary breaks, on
account of the cold and disagree
able weather.
The wages formerly received by
these men were not very bounteous
just about enough to live COM
fortably on-and this cut to eight
hours a day without a correspond
ing increase per hour, has caused
a great deal of dissatisfaction
among them, so that it is q ques-
tion whether they will 60 back to
work under the new order or not.
No particular line of action has
as yet been agreed upon and the
outcome is indefinite, however a
strike is among the probabilities

dollar bill and FASTING them to the
genuine bill at the four corners,
