The conference was called by Mr..
Hartman. who requested the labor
representatives to meet him and his as
sociates and discuss the strike OF shop
men on the Union Pacific. which has
beea ir progress since last June But
this request was not issued until the
unions had given instructions to the men
on the Southern Pacific to go on a sym

before Mr.. Hartman and the other rail-
road magnates is 20 settle the strike

machinists called on him to talk ever
the case. When they returned 20 the
shops they were advised that each Of
them was discharged. No reasons were
given. The men decided that an effort
was being made TO destroy their unions
and after two weeks discussion 200
men went on strike.
Since the original claims we're made

the pay Of their men. and the gnton Pa
