O'CRADY MUST co
BEFORE THE UNION
CITED TO APPEAR BEFORE EN-
GlNEERS' UNION TO EXPLAIN
ALLEGED ASSAULT.
LONG AT OUTS WITH ORDER
Since He Attempted to Lead a Strike
Two Years Ago, O'Grady Has
Been Angry at the Union.

George O'Grady, an engineer at the Cora
mine, will have TO explain his motive for
attempting to do up p. A. Stevens, busi-
ness agent OF the Engineers union on last
Wednesday.
The cause which led up to the trouble
between O'Grady and MIR. Stevens. origi-
mated little over a year ago when +. Aug.
Heinze attempted to break ZIP the En-
gineers union by stirring up strife in their
ranks.
The union had signed two-year con
tract with the employers at certain wage,
and O'Grady. together with few follow
ers, attempted to ignore the contract and
raise the scale. The union demanded that
the men who walked out return to work
and upon their failure to do so they were
replaced with other union men pursuant
to the agreement.
O'Grady Grew Angry.
This angered OGrady and he refused to
attend any further upon the meetings of
the union.
On Wednesday Mr. Stevens called at
the Cora and requested that Mr.. O'Grady
pay his dues. This request was met with
threat TO precipitatc dire calamity upon
the head OF the business agent, and after
O'Grady had delivered himself Of few
choice epithets, he followed Stevens out
of the engineroom and tried to hand him
one in the solar rfexus but he little
dreamed that Stevens could scrap as well
as collect dues, and the result was that
OGrady was ready for the hospital when
the smoke of battle cleared. During the
melee O'Grady's helper rushed from the
engine. rnom and shird brick AZ c,ay.nc
infictng a slight cut over the eye.
The affair happened on the day after the
regular meeting night of the union and no
action could be taken, but O'Grady has
been cited to appear next Wednesday
night and explain matters.
Ever since the strike O'Grady has cx-
pressed himself both in public and private
as to his opinion of the union and but
for the fact that the union did not wish
to precipitate trouble he has been allowed
to 10 unrebuked.
