MEN WILL BE CALLED OUT
ON ALL HARTMAN LINES
Union Pacific Shopmen and President Burt Failed
to Reach an Agreement
Short Line Employees Have Not Received Strike Order But
They Expect It.

tween some of the labor organizations.
This was illustrated during the strike
of the firemen in 1894, when the en-
gineers refused to go out, and put up
with inexperienced men to help out
the company. Similar feeling which
has come up in different ways exists
between other organizations of rail-
road men, and for this reason do not
look for a general sympathy strike.
The shopmen are organized and will
walk out if an order is received to that
effect" :.
The strike has been in operation now
for six months and grows out of the
desire of the Union Pacific company
to put the men on piece work. While
some of the less ambitious wOrkmen
would not earn so much in this way,
il is claimed that the Industrious men
would receive more. In other words
a man would be paid for just what
he did. and he could work as hard as
he pleased. The wage question also
enters into the dispute, but it is a sec
Ondary matter.

SITUATION IN SALT LAKE.
But Few Men Will Be Affected at
This Point.


About 300 shOpmen employed by the
Oregon Short Line will be affected by
the action OF the strike leaders at
Omaha. The announcement yesterday
that a crisis appeared in the situa-
ton and that the boiiermakers and
machinists of all the Hartman lines
might be called out, caused much eX-
citement i'm the shops here 1t was ex-
pected that orders from Omaha might
come at any time. but at late hour
last night no word had been received.
The excitement of the men was in
creased by the sudden departure of
General superintendent +. Z. Calvin.
who left for POcatello yesterday. 1t
is understood the object of his visit is
70 confer with the men there.
J. F. Dunn, superintendent of mo-
tive power and machinery, is also in
Pocatello, and it is believed that Mr..
Calvin's departure was in response to
a telegram from the superintendent
Immediately in charge of the shops
there. All the high officials at the
head of the departments which would
be affected by the strike are out of
town. General Manager Bancroft has
been in Omaha this week, where he
stopped on his return from the east.
It is understood that he has been in
conference there with President Burt.
His car has been sent to meet him
tomorrow
The Short Line has not employed a
large force of boilermakers, as much
of this work has been done outside
With the new and improved machin-
cry at PocatellO the company will be
able to do more of its own work.
About five boilermakers are employed
in the shops in this city. and with the
helpers, fluemen and handy men make
considera bic of force. The men here
simply make repairs and take care of
the emergency work. About seventy
five machinists are employed and these
men also have small army of help
ers.
The new machines recently put in at
Pocatello have many labor-saving de-
vices which makes il possible to get
along with fewer men than formerly
Twenty-Five bOilermakers are employ
ed in the shops there. and there is
large force of helpers. Two hun
dred men, with their helpers. are en-
ployed in the machine shops.
The shOpmen are well organized both
here and in Pocatello. and stand ready
TO follow the directions of the labor
leaders 1T Omaha. One of the men
said last evening that the shopmen
were ready to walk out il it becomes
necessary to do so. If the machinists
and boilermakers walk out the help
ers will go with them. It is believed
that the strike will be confined to the
shopmen and that none Of the other
organizations viii be effected for the
present at least.
Il has been rumored that the engi-
neers and firenlen might be induced TO
Join with the strikers. but a promi-
nent railroad man said last evening
that he did not look forward TO such
an extreme. although il is within the
realm of possibility if the patience of
the strikers is exhausted. He said:
There is lack of friendiiness be-

back 10 the civil war, and a few orig
mated prior to that time. The latter
were for balances due for carrying
mails in the south when the war broke
out Mr.. Payne was particularly in
slStent in his opposition TO these bills
calling attention TO The exposure of
the fraudulent character of many sim
liar claims in the Forty-fifth congress.
He expressed the opinion that all these
claims had been paid before.
The members interested stood to-
gether, however, and voted him down
every time he demanded a division
There were several bills TO reimburse
poStmasterS and internal revenue col
lectOrS for stamps lost or stolen One
was to pay the balance on a contract
for ice furnished the army hospitals in
the Mississippi valley during the war.
Ane amount Claimed Is SSD,OOO, and Is

the old Ford theatre disaster, when the
building collapsed upon a number Of
government clerks who were employed
there, and TO refund TO the customers
OF William Jacobs of Lancaster, Pa,
the amount of the counterfeit stamps
purchased from him
When the committee of the whole re-
ported the bills to the house Mr.. Payne
blocked their final passage today Oy
making the point of no quorum. But

ANXIETY AT PocATELLo.
Business interests Would Suffer in
Case of Strike.

Pocatello, Ida, Jan. 3O.-The proba-
bility of strike of Short Line boiler
makers, machinists and blacksmiths is
causing much anxiety in PocatellO to-
night, but absolutely nothing is known.
The officers of the several Organiza-
tions, while admitting that they are
ready to go out as soon as orders to
that effect are received, state posi-
lively that no such orders have been
received and that they have had no Of
fetal information concerning the con-
ference at Omaha. General Superin-
tendent Calvin and Master Mechanic
Dunn of the Short Line have been here
for three days but they profess an
ignorance that is phenomenal, even
among railroad officials, and decline
not only to discuss the strike but even
to admit that there is any talk about
such an action.
The town has been full of strike talk
for several days. Until tonight it has
been tacitIy admitted on all sides that
if the conference at Omaha yesterday
and today did not result in a settle
ment of the strike the boilermakers
and kindred organizations would go
out all over the Hartman system,
here as well as elsewhere. Tonight, in
the midst of the extraordinary ig-
norance or more extraordinary secret
iveness of all parties interested, the
people do not know what to think.
A strike is really expected, but most
people are whistling up the wind to
keep up their courage, as a strike of
any duration would be fraught with
serious consequences to the business of
Pocatello. A strike of the boiiermak-
ers and kindred trades would involve
between 200 and 300 men here. The
presence of Messrs. Calvin and Dunn
is not regarded as a hopeful sign, as
III iS a argued that if Indicates that thew
expect the worst.
So far as can be learned there has
been no meeting tonight of any of the
organizations interested, nor any con-
ferences between Calvin and Dunn and
committees from such organizations.

Ogden. Jan. 30.-The conditions in the

very much unsettled. particularly be-

Ogden, may be called out to aid the
striking machinists.
Men we'll informed on the situation

Many of these are men with large
