trade.
The alleged plot TO kill the chief
executive originated in PendIeton a
few days ago. where Barker was in the
employ Of Pat Kline. a butcher. Kline
followed Barker to waIla walla on the
strength Of a remark Barker made
last week that be had one bullet for
President Roosevelt and one for EN-

The agreement between the boiler
makers on the Pacific System and the
company requires thirty days notice
from either party to the other Of a de-
sire to change the relations established
thereby. The Committee claimed
that notice shad been served on the
Division Master Mechanic on April
eighth but upon inquiry this was shown
not to have been the case, and in con-
ference with the Committee they adj
mitted that a mistake had been made
in not doing SO.
WI have been given to understand
that two reasons existed for issuing the
order to the Southern Pacific boiler
makers:
l.. Because the Southern Pacific
had helped the Union Pacific by trans
ferrlng locomotives. and.
D. That it was feared that piece
works, prejudicial to the men. was to
extended in the boiler-shops.
In response to the first, the COM
mittee was assured by President
Hartman in conference in his office
n San Francisco that shortly after the
Union Pacific strike he had issued an
order that the Southern Pacific officers
were to take no steps to assist the
Union Pacific in any manner whatso-
ever. This order has been strictly
followed and assurance to that effect
given the Committee.
The question Of piece-work in the
boiler. shops is covered in the same
agreement Of December l9, 1902.
which pledges the men as well as the
company to thirty days notice. The
best answer that can be made to the
alleged intention Of the Southern Pa
cific Company TO extend this plan Of
work is to repeat a personal assurance
given by the President of the company

THREATENED
S. P. STRIKE.
Statement Of the Conditions
by Railroad Officials.

The threatened sympathetic strike Of
the boilemakers under consideration
Is due to a misunderstanding of the
issues involved in the strike OF a year
or so age on the Union Pacific
coupled with fear OF an intention to
force the extension of piece work. W.
therefore think the matter should be
explained beyond chance of further
misconstruction.
About a year or SO ago the boiler
makers on the Union Pacific struck for
a ten per cent increase in wages and
certain shop rules which had nothing
whatever to do with the question OF
piece or premium work, as that sub
iect was never at any time mentioned
or limited at, and never would have
been introduced on that road but for
the strike. The increase in wages
was declined. as the Union Pacific was
already paying from seven to fifteen
per cent more than any Of It's neighbors
and the adoption Of the proposed rules
would have placed the administration
Of its shop affairs in the hands Of its
employees. Following the strike new
men we're employed. new locomotives
bought, and the shop operations of that
road after a short while resumed their
normal character.
Ever since. efforts have been made
to draw the shop employees of the
Southern Pacific Company into a
sympathetic strike by insisting that the
Southern Pacific was assisting tho
Union Pacific by loaning or selling
locomotives. AS our shopmen are
perfectly satisfied with their treatment
rate Of pay and working rules, we were
careful to do nothing that could re-
motley be construed as aiding or assist
ing the Union Pacific. Therefore,
they have absolutely no grounds for
stopping work. AS explained in tele-
graphic circulars. the first notice re-
csived by the company was given by
the Chairman of the Boilermakers'
Committee who, on the sixth OF May.
showed the General Superintendent LOT

The influence of climatic conditions

do much better at home by proper at

German Syrup, so is good nights rest
