The following special from Omaha
to the Denver Republican gives a sue
cinct resume Of the situation:
BY the direction Of the executive
committee Of the machinists Of the
Union Pacific today, following the re-
lection of a general agreement which
they had presented. an order will be-
come effective some time before Mon
day morning, calling out 500 machin-
lists and their helpers and apprentices.
The committee confidence
that the walkout will be complete, in
which event the machine shops and
round houses will be closed at Coun-
Gil Bluffs. Iowa; Omaha. Columbia,
Grand Island. Beatrice. North Platte,
North Kearney. Julesburg. Denver,
Cheyenne, Rawlins. Green River.
Evanston and Ogden, and at Arm
strong. Ellis and Junction City, Kas.
This means a total of 100 men out
on the Union Pacific by lockout or
walkout. They include 120 molders.
nearly 100 boilermakers and 800 ma
chinists, or about 1000 men. embrac-
ing the totals Of the three union dis
tricts. who will receive strike benefits.
The remaining 700 are out because Of
the complete shut down Of the Chey-
enne shops and cuts in the forces Of
other shops.
The demands made by the machin-
lists and rejected by the company were
that pay by piece work be not intro
duced; that 10 per cent raise In wag-
es be granted. and that union men re-
Gently discharged be reinstated, even
though the shops be required to work
at short time while the boilermakers'
strike lasts. The committee had pre-
sented similar demands a month ago.
which were then rejected. and had re-
turned to the city this time with full
power to act, consequently the decis-
ion was promptly made to order the
walkout.
T L. Wilson. fourth vice president
Of the national organization. is here
from st. Paul, advising with the COM
mittee. He asserts that the western
district will contribute $4,000 weekly
to the support OF the strike. and that
help will be received from the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor
The machinists declare that an at
tempt is being made to crush the I'M
ions in the Union Pacific shops, and
the forced installation Of the piece
system. which was introduced in a few
Of the minor departments of the shops
three days ago, is to be the means.
General Manager Dickinson told them
today that 1t has become the fixed
policy Of the company to install piece
work Throughout
The machinists are confident they
a cripple the railroad in a few days
by the non-attention that engines will
receive. since many already have dam
aged boilers since the boilermakers'
strike began. and thus force the rail-
road to terms.
It is rumored the company has en-.
gagged a large number Of non-union ma
chinists IN go day contracts at Chi
cago.
