said to prevent engineers being sent TO

strike. The engines were sent back and
since the union pickets along the Union
Pacific road have kept a sharp lookout
for borrowed motive power.
Plans have been made for an iumedi
ne strike in the shops OF the company
that dehes the union sh0pmen and
sends engines to the Union Pacific The
fight between the company and the un-

shippers in all parts of the country. and
passenger trains are frequently six and
seven hours late
The labor organization is determined
to win the strike. which has been in
progress for weeks It's tenaeity seems
to be as great as that of the company,
and the preparations made for an ex-
