CAUSED BY AGITATOR.
Manager Nudge Places RespOn-
sibility for La Junta Strike.

Present conditions at La Junta indi-
cate that the Santa Fe's labor trouble
at that point is about to be brought to
an end. H. L. Nudge general manager
of the Santa Fc, has returned from La
Junta where he conferred with the COM
mittee and succeeded in bringing about
situation which it is hoped will end
satisfactorily.
Mr.. Nudge said this morning: "a
great many of the men at La Junta
own their own homes at that place and
others are buying homes on the install
ment plan. For these men the PROPOSE
tion of having to leave La Junta is a
very serious one and consequently l is
sued orders to the effect that all those
who are willing to act decently and
will see to it that there is no more trou-
/ bic of this kind at La Junta, are to be
taken back. The preference is to be
given to those men VINO own their
homes there and who it is thought will
not give the road any trouble"
When questioned regarding the dis
patch which was received here which
stated that Vice President Wilson OF
the MachiniStS' union was credited with
saying that unless some settlement was
reached Immediately all of the shop
men on the system would be ordered
out. Mr.. Nudge said:
When / was in La Junta yesterday
/ I was asked to see Mr.. Wilson for a few
moments. I consented and we had a
short talk on the subject of the trouble
at that place. Mr.. Wilson requested
that the men be taken back in a body
but he did not make any mention OF
the system employees being called out
In fact he admitted that the men were
in the wrong and that he had no power
to declare a strike of Santa Fe ma
chinists That was what he said to me
He may have put up a different talk
to the men, however,
DO YOU know who was responsible fol
the trouble at La Junta?" Mr.. Nudge was
asked.
4 think that the present trouble is tht
result of the work of walking delegates
and agitators who have been plying theil
craft at La Junta. The Santa 'Fe author
tiles at La Junta have a pretty good ldea
who these men are, and they viii not bt
taken back We do not intend to run the
risk of another strike
Mr. Nudge was then asked whether the
maiority of Santa Fe machinists were
union men or not
q can not say" said Mr.. Nudge. '.Wher
we employ a man do not ask whether
he belongs to the union or not. 1t make:
no difference to us. All machinists loot
alike to us"
Mr. Nudge said that even If the trouble
at La Junta was settled the shops there
would not be opened for work for some
time yet The work at the round house
will be all that is needed at present
