TRAINMEN WANT MORE PAY
Brakemen and Conductors on Union Pacific
Send Their { rievance COMMITTEES.
JOIN IN THE GENERAL MOVEMENT
Men VIII Meet OhhcIals Monday and
They Expect Concessions with
out serious Delay or
Difficulty.

Comes now the grievance committee Of
tine order of Railway Trainmen Of the Union
Pacific to add its voice to the chorus of de-
mands that has been reverberating through
out the Union Pacihc's auditory functions
for the last six months. Thomas Bogue Of
North Platte. secretary; c.. A. Siebert, Chey-
enne, and p. ]. Hindmaish, Lincoln, are the
first member Of this committee TO arrive.
They reached omaha yesterday and took
up their quarters at the Dellone hotel,
where the eighteen members Of the COM
mittee will be stationed while in the city.
Others will come later and by Monday at
least the committee expects to meet Of
hciAls Of the Union Pacific for a discussion
Of better wages and revised schedules.
This move on the part Of the trainmen Is
in behalf OF the brskemen and conductors,
passenger and freight. and is but a sequence
Of that general movement planned months
ago by railroad men throughout the country
for more wages. Not many weeks ago the
s%witchmen. who also are members OF the
trainmen's organization, through Mr.. Bogue
and his associates on the grievance com
mittee, obtained a ~ per cent increase in
wages and revised schedules. These con-
c~essions were secured from the Union Pa
cihc without serious difficulty, and IL is be-
lieved the demands OF the brakemen and
conductors will be granted with equal readi-
ness. Just how much increase the brake
men and conductors will demand has not
been given out. II is presumed that II will
rot vary much from that obtained by the
switchmen and other rainmen in various
parts OF the country. The percentage Of
increases runs from 10 10 20. Local condi.
tions govern the scale largely.
The eommitteemen who arrived yesterday
morning had little 10 say Of their plans

STRIKE BREAKERS LEAVING
NOnunion at shops Getting
Away before strike Settle
ment Comes.

Strike breakers evidently have faith in
the negotiations, for a settlement OF tho
Union Pacific strike, as they continue to
leave the shops in droyes. Forty-two OF
the Omaha force quit and lef- the city yes
terday. Reports from other cities along the
line tell Of heavy depressions. The force In
Omaha, which is the largest OF any shop on
the system. has dropped, II is said, to It's
lowest ebb since the outbreak OF the strike.
The company IL doing everything possible
to keep the men In line pending the con-
ferenees In the east.
Not only the strike breakers, but the
strikers who have been abroad at work are
beginning TO be Influenced by the reports
from the scene Of the conference. Three
men who have been working In Dayton, o..
have returned home. expecting TO ind the
strike settled and their places awaiting
them in the shops. One OF the men says
his wife telegraphed him that the strike was
settled and he hurried home. The others
read reports in Ohio papers and were gov
erned accordingly.
Strikers deprecate the policy Of oyereonh-
dence in regard TO the negotiations for a
settlement. While hoping they may de-
velop favorably they are by no means ready
TO admit that the strike is over. and are
proceeding with their plans and methods
Just as II the battle Was to be continued
uninterrupted for many months, as indeed II
may be. No adviees have come from New
York since the telegram Of Mr.. Wilson's
saying the conferences had been continued
until Tuesday.

They stated that they anticipated no
trouble and gave the impression OF being
confident Of their mission. II is not sup
posed that the Union Pacific will under
take the task OF resisting the demands OF
its trainmen. especially under the circum-
stances surrounding 1t at present. with
over 1900 OF it's employees arrayed against
IL in a stubborn conflict, II would be sur
prising If the company did invite any
further hostllities. Besides, It would be
setting a precedent to refuse the demands
OF the trainmen, since the railroads all over
the country have come 10 time with little
hesitancy. except in a few cases, and given
their trainmen about what they asked
The movement was so thoroughly organ
ized in the first place, long before II was
actually launched, that the roads prac-
tically were in a position where they could
not, without inviting a serious labor war
turn down their trainmen.
The trainmen doubtless will submit thelI
case to Superintendent Buckingham. as hi
represented the company in the conferences
with the switchmen. President Burt, o
course, was in consultation before the hna
adjustment was effected. but the president
having his hands full in New York trying
10 pacify the strikers. doubtless will not b.
here TO participate in these eonfabs. unles
his associates can manage to staye then
on long enough.

The name of Mohamnled Abdileh con- veys little to English ears, but neverthe- less it is that of a man who has q very wide reputation, and whose appear ance in the newspapers is an everyday
 occurrence As the Mad Muliah of Somaliland Mohammed Abdileh is we'll known, But little is known of this
 second Mahdi whose influence over the warlike tribes of Somaliland has caused so much trouble and expense to the Government He was born of poor : parents, owning few cattle in the south ern portion of Sonaliland. In his youth Mohammed was initiated into the mysteries of the occult sciences and sorcery. These he learnt among the tribe of the Danakil, which has always been renowned for it's magicians. A study of the Koran and the Arab writ ings followed in the Marabout school. When quite young the future Mullah was taken with the idea of making the pilgrimage to Mecca, and not content With one journey made the sacred visit three or four times. His object was to obtain a greater reputation for holiness than that held by the other pilgrims.
 After his last pilgrimage Mohammed returned to Berbera. but met with small success in that commercial town. Seeing no prospect before him but that of remaining a poor, begging pilgrim, he determined to strike out new line for
 himself, and established himself among a powerful inland tribe. Here he made
