LET OUT UNION MEN.
Union Pacific Said to Have Suffered
Peculiar Damage.

Omaha. Neb., Feb. Enquiry by the
machiniStS' union has disclosed the fact
that the discharge of union machinists
from the Union Pacific shops, including
four officers and other prominent MEM
bers of the local union, was not the re-
suit of a slackness in work. but a step
in the direction of discharging all union
machinists on the system. 1t is said
that so far about eighty union men,
mostly prominent labor union men,
have been discharged from the machine
shops on the system. Other discharges
are scheduled in the near future, unless
the unions can prevent it.
The Union Pacific has for some time
been getting compound engines from
the Baldwin locomotive works. The
engines have been put In shape here
for active service at the various shops
on the system 1t is said that these
engines have been tempered with in va
riOus ways. The road officials believe
that the locomotives have been dam
aged by the union men because the
Baldwin works employ nonunion labor.

Articles Left on Trains.

An interesting point regarding the
handling of baggage is discussed in the
annual report of the Lehigh Valley
road. The report shows that during
the year 1870 articles of various de-
scription were left on its trains, excIu-
sive of those found in the Pullman cars,
which are differently handled. OF these
articles, 2SS were claimed and returned
to owners, the balance of the number,
9S2. still remaining in the hands of the
baggage department of the company,
awaiting claimants. The law of nearly
all states in the union provides that il
these articles are not claimed by the
owners within one year, they may be
hold at public sale, after due notice,
after which the claim ant has no right
to any article SO found The articles
left on trains are varied in character.

TAKES MoNTeoMERY's WORK.
John Law Succeeds the Murdered
Santa Fe Officer.

Law, who for a number of years has
been the Santa Fe yard Waterman in
this city, has been promoted. The Off
cial title by which he will be known
in the future is division watchm an on
the Oklahoma division, with head
quarters in Arkansas City.
Since the murder of George c. Mont
gomery last October, the company has
had no one to look after this part of
the business. It was through the efforts
of Supt. H. A Tice that Mr.. Law was
given his new position. His duties will
be to look after the company's property
from this city to Purcell and make 1t
hot for law breakers He will have to
chase down tie and coal thieves. look
after depot robbers, and in fact several
other things. He will be kept very
busy.

railroad will be built" continued Mr..
Nathan when l left England mil
scribed. When L reached New York /
found a cable message from Mr.. Still
well to the effect that the subscriptions
were coming in at the rate of $4,000 a
day Mr. Stilwel1 has done wonders In
the matter of financing the PROPOSE
ton. Baron Boxall, Sir Alfred Newton
and a number of other Englishmen OF
large means are interested in the COM
pany to build and operate the road.
There were thirty-seven English cap
italiStS present at one meeting, repre-
sent1ng enough money to build and
equip the line from Kansas City to
Topolambopo. All of them have sub
scribed literally to the stock and many
more since then have signified their in
tention of seeing the scheme to a sue
cessful finish.
Nothing can now prevent the con-
struction of the road 1t will be built
as surely as was the Pittsburg & Gulf
railroad 1t is a much greater and
more promising proposition than the
Pittsburg & Gulf road, and its success,
in my opinion, will far surpass the sue
cess attained by the former road. It
Will create revolution in transcon-
tinental and transpacific traffic. 1t will
be built and in operation within three
years Such progress has been made
that million dollars have been ex-
pended for steel rails. The track has
already been graded for $50 miles in
Mexico. and the ties are already on the
ground
The Kansas City Mexico & Orient
railroad, in which Mr.. Nathan is in
terested, was projected by Mr.. Stilwell
and his associates. 1t will run in
southwesterly direction from Kansas
City to Port Stilwell formerly called
Topolambopo, on the Pacific coast, a
distance of about 1,500 miles. 1t will
cost about 80 million dollars to build
the road. The road touches the cities
of Emporia, Wichita and Anthony, in
the state of Kansas, and running south
west through Oklahoma, enters Texas
at Quanah. At Preside it enters Old
Mexico, and thence it is to go direct to
the coast

pictures, the grizzly giant" one of the

CUT DOWN WAGES.
Mexican Central Conductors and
Brakemen Are Dissatisfied.

Ell Paso. Feb. Sowing to a reduction
In the wages of conductors and brake
men made by the Mexican Central
which became effective on the first of
the year, ualnmen on that road are
very much dissa tisfied
On the first OF the year a reduction
in the wages of freight conductors and
brakemen was made and the trainmeD
sent a grievance committee to Mexico
City, but the officials of the Mexican
Central refused to listen to them AS a
result OF this determined stand on the
part or the officials several trainmen
on the Chihuahua division have already
resigned and it is generally understood
mere that unless the company recedes
1rom the stand 1t has taken trainmen
on the Central viii quit in wholesale
No ultimatum has been issued bv the
trainmen for the laws of Mexico abso-
lutely prohibit employees from conspir-
ing together for the purpose of forcing
raise OF wages. Each fellow will sim
ply quit for individual reasons
only the men in the through freight
service between Ell Paso and Aguas-
caIientes are affected by the new sched-
ule as those on the southern end are
paid on different basis One reason
why the decrease in the wages of the
conductors and brakemen is 50 distas+e~
Iul, Is the fact that the engineers ana
nremen and the few local freight men
nao their wages increased at the same
time Prior to the first of the wear

one hundred kilometers and brakernen
In the proportion. Under the new
scneduIe conductors only receive 80 a.
per one hundred kilometers and a cor
responding decrease has been rnade in
the wages Of the brakemen- FSrefsbf
conductors on local runs now receive
$3.50 per one hundred kilometers

ranging from books to umbrellas, pock-
etbooks, wraps, valises, merchandise,
etc. 1t is hard to explain the low per-
centage of calls made for articles left
on trains, unless it be that passengers,
in the main, do not understand that
such articles that are found and turned
into the baggage departments of the
various railroads are held there sub
ject to orders of the owners. There are
probably some articles that are left in
trains by passengers and picked up by
other passengers. but as a general thing
they are found by the trainmen and
turned into the railroad companies
offices, and may be had on application
by the owner.
