The carnival prices at the short order

ON UNsKILLED MEN
Scheme OF Business Agents of Strikers
to Burden the Union
Pacific.

Strikers have increased their efforts to
prevent the Union Pacific from employing
skilled mechanics. Confident OF the com
pany's inability to fill its shops with capa-
BILE men, the strikers have employed new
means Of strengthening their Notifications.
In this connection a peculiar method has
been adopted. Business agents In all cities
throughout the country where men are
likely to be hired by the Union Pacific have
united in an effort to food the Union Pa
cihc with incompetent men and to this end
they are e~xerting efforts to induce men
whom they know to be unskilled to apply
for work to the c~ompany's agents. 1t Is
said the scheme is working admirably.
Much Of this sort Of activity is being exer-
cised in San Francisco, from which point
the Union Pacific has drawn heavily for
men. This circular has been issued by San
Francisco mechanics;
Machinists-Stay way from all points on
the Union Pacific railroad system. Men
on strike for the last three months against
piecework. Strike practically won by the
men. Stay away.
In the face Of this bold circular It is
said the Frisco mechanics are doing their
utmost to get men they know are unskilled
and incapable to do mechanics work to hire
to the Union Pacific agents there.
The fact that the Santa Fe is paying more
money for new workmen, according to the
statements Of strikers, than the Union Pa
ci1c, the latter, 1t is said. is finding it diff
cult, even with the disguised assistance Of
their enemies. to get all the men 1t wants.
Reports to strike headquarters from North
Platte are to the effect that the company

The contract for the structural iron work
amounts to S41, 300.

Announcements of the Theaters.

The author Of THE Night Before Christ
mas" in writing this beautiful play has
followed in the footsteps OF the Immortal
Dickens, believing that life depicted from
life, as life is, is the supreme acme OF
the writer's art and therefore in plotting,
writing and staging this play he has fol-
lowed absolutely those things which he
saw around and about him every day. This
accounts perhaps for the hattering notices
given to THE Night Before Christmas" by
the newspapers and commentator given
by the public, which is thoroughly attested
by the fact that theaters where this at
traction is playing are crowded nightly.
THE Night Before Christmas" comes to
