NO STATE GUARD IN WABASH.
Labor Unions Prohibited Their Members
From Entering the states service.

INDIANAPOLIS. April ie.-Harvey NJ.
Travis. acting for the State, has been trying
for a month to organize militia company
at Wabash. To-day he announced that
the effort would have to be abandoned
owing to the opposition Of organized labor
Travissaid that he succeeded in getting
thirty men to join the company. but could
get no more. He discovered. as soon as
his mission at Wabash became known.
that the labor unions called meetings and
adopted rules prohibiting their members
from joining the company. In some cases
the unions fixed fines as penalties for join
ing the company. and in others expulsion
from the union was the penalty.
Travis says that the argument used to
justify this course was that the company
would be used against organized labor In
case of a strike. He says many OF the
younger union men were anxious to join
the company. but were afraid to do so.

dent Pepper said he had no official kno wledge
that Jencks had gone to see Mr.. Bryan. but
added:
Mr.. Jencks In a man Of nerve would
not be surprised IL he took hand In the
matter
II was learned at Mr.. Bryan's Office that
Jenck's call lasted only Ave minutes. Mr..
Bryan himself said last night that the
motormen had no grievances and Mr..
Jencks merely paid him friendly call.
Several weeks ago Chairman Jencks
told Sun reporter that As his organization
belonged to the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers 1t would not take up the qusrrels
Of the other union by going on a sympa-
thetic strike. The Brotherhood OF Loco
motive Engineers has not been famous for
seeking to bear the burdens Of other unions,
and the motormen could not strike without
the sanction OF Grand Chief p. NJ. Arthur
OF the Brotherhood and remain Brotherhood
men. They would also violate an agree
ment by striking and would probably never
get their present high wages Of $3.50 a day
again.
Mahon the street railway unions national
president. is member Of the National Civic
Federation and processes TO be opposed
to strike He telegraphed yesterday to
Ralph NJ. Easley, secretary OF the Civic
Federation. who was In st. Louis, to come
here as soon as he could. 1t was understood
that Mr.. Easley will be here to-day. Mahon
said yesterday afternoon:
III a strike vote is declared. the action Of
the men must be ratified by the Executive
Board OF our organization, which Is scat
tered throughout the country. We would
probably have to telegraph to it's members
for their sanction. The Executive Board
consists of d. l.. Dilworth Of Detroit, c,
O. Pratt Of Cleveland, William Jacobs OF
Louisville, o f. West Of Houston, Tex.
and Robert Montgomery OF Toronto
In his opinion. Mahon said. the motor
men would stand by the other men In case
Of a strike.
Il am not prepared to say" he added
that even II the men vote for a strike a
strike will be inevitable. 1t will not be
impossible to make peace.
According to the voters the INTERIOR
ough Rapid Transit Company had detec-
tives watching affairs. II detectives were
there they must have been carefully dis
guised. From little after 8 o'clock there
was hull and comparatively few men came
to vote As evening came on the number
of voters increased.
Though the officers Of the union say the
organization contains 3,625 members the
company's roster does not show as many
and all the railroad men are not enro lied
in the union. According to the company's
figures there are 800 guards. 300 agents
lOO conductors 200 trackmen and 500 ticket
choppers employed. There are also several
hundred car cleaners and others.
The news Of an impending strike brought
many men to the Offices Of the lnterborougf
company yesterday to file applications FOL
work. though il was not one Of the regular
days for receiving applications.
