ANOTHER STRIKE BREWING
Chicago Street Railway Employees
Defy Manager McCulloch.
An Order Issued. Prohibiting the
Wearing of badges or Butt
tons VIII Cause Trouble.

Chicago, Dec. 7.-Trainmen of the
Chicago City Railway are talking of a
second strike The relations between
the union leaders and General Man.
ager McCulloch of the City Railway
Co. are becoming more strained each
day, and threats of a second walkout
are heard on all sides among the work.
ers.
y Tie last straw, the officers of the
Wage Farmers" say, is new set OF
rules formed by the company. These
regulations are declared arbitrary and
formed for the purpose of breaking
up the labor organization. The most
Objectionable of these is the rule
against union buttons:
This clause, which may reopen the
conflict, reads:
mo badge, button or insignia shall
be worn on the outside of uniforms by
trainmen on duty except the uniform
badges and buttons prescribed by the
company" This goes into effect to-
day, and will be rigidly enforcedl
President Buckley of the union said
the men, have been ordered to report
to-day wearing their buttons 'conspicu-
ously, and says that if one man is dis
charged all will have to share the same
fate.
There will be no one for him to dis
charge" Mr.. Buckley said, when asked
II the union would resist the order.
Every member of the union has been
instructed to report for duty to-day
with the button on his left breast in
full sight, as has been the custom.
Another rule to which the unions
take exception is the following:
"The soliciting of money by and
from employees of this company in the
nature of contributions, gifts, etc., is
forbidden"
This, the employees say, is an attempt
to prevent them from contributing
money to other union men in distress.
Mr.. McChHloch says, however, it is a
rule to protect the workers from the
annoyance of the swarm Of beggars
that are canvassing the town almost
constantly.
When asked if he would reinstate the
50 union men left idle after the strike,
Mr.. McCulloch replied that he did not
want to reinstate any of them.

entered into its treaty with New Granada
During that time the governments OF New
Granada and OF Its successor, Colombia,
have been in a turmoil. The experience OF
over half century has shown Colombia
to be utterly incapable of keeping order
on the Isthmus Only the active inter-
ference of the United States has enabled
her TO preserve so much as a semblance Of
sovereignty. Had 1t not been for the ex-
ercise by the United States OF the police
power in her interest, her connection with
the isthmus would have been sun
dered long ago. In 1856. in 1860. in 1873, in
1856 in 1901, and again in 1902 sailors and
marines from United States warships were
forced to land in order to patrol the 18TH
mus, to protect life and property and to
see that the transit across the isthmus was
kept open. In 1861 in 1862. In 1885, and in 1890
the Colombian government asked that the
United States government would land
troops to protect Its interests and maintain
order on the isthmus. Perhaps the most
extraordinary request is that which has
just been received and which runs as fol-
lows:

CERRO PRIETO.
A Distinguished Party of Capitalists
 VIII Visit the Mines.

Dr. Wesley M. Thomas, secretary of the Nogales Copper company, and
 brother of General Manager 0. N. Thomas is in the city from Chicago.
 He is here on visit to the company s great gold mines at Cerro Prieto, So- nora, Mexico, which were purchase d last February from the Nogales Min ing company. for the handsome price of S6OO.OOO, *5O,0OO of which was paid at the time of purchase. Another payment of S5O,OoO is due in few days and TIE VIDETTE has been in formed on good authority, that that payment, and all the other payments will be paid as fast as they become due.
 Tomorrow evening General Freight and Passenger Agent E. D. Brigham of the Chicago Northwestern R. R., one of the principal stockholders in the company, will arrive in Nogales from Chicago in his private car. He is also on visit to Cerro Prieto and is accompanied by a number of Chicago capitalists who are interested in the Nogales Copper company.
 Mir. George B. Earnshaw, consult ing engineer for the company arrived from the east the forepart of the week and will accompany the Brigham party to the mines, as will also Sect. Wesley M. and General Manager c. N. Thomas.
 The immense ore bodies at the Cerro Prieto mines are said to be increasing in richness and magnitude as develop ment work progresses and all that is now needed, say people who know what they are talking about, is bigger stamp mill and a bigger cyanide plant, to make them second to no pro- ducers in the country.
 The Nogales Copper company is now in undisputed possession of the properties, having their titles direct from the Mexican government; the is iii the hand of capable men, selected by Manager Thomas for their various responsible positions on account of their capability and ex- perience. The company has unlimited capital which is Tn the hands of board of directorates who know the value of their property and who have faith in their future as great bullion producers.

Marshal Wright Returns.

Tuesday night MT. Marshal P. Wright of the Mexican Development Company, of which mention was made in last weeks VIDETTE, was stop over visitor in the line city on his way to Hermosillo, the capital of So- nora, where he has for a number of years made his headquarters. Mir. Wright has while in Sonora interested many thousand dollars of eastern capital in mining properties in that state and during visit in the east he has made arrangement to do develop ment work on the properties owned ny his company, in which many of Ali7zouris great inanciers are in terested. The many friends of MT. Wright in Arizona and Sonora will be pleased to learn that he is again on the high road to success. Few min ing men in the country have a better reputation for honorable upright methods than Marshal P. Wright and TIE VIDETTE is more than pleased to know that he has been successful while in the east. He has just re- turned from the City of Mexico where he went from Sedalia, Missouri, on business connected with his company, which business was transacted in most satisfactory manner. Mrs. Wright and the children are still in Los Angeles, California. where they have been spending the summer. In the fall it is quite possible that Mrs. Wright and the children may come to Nogales to make their home in order that the children may receive the benefit of our public schools which under the supervision of Professor Mcclure, as principal, are second to none in the territory and credit to town many times the size of Nogales.
