ALL SANTA FE MACHINE SHOPS,


Topeka, Kans., May 4,-For the first
time in years the big Santa Fe shop
whistle is silent, and the 1000 Topeka
shopmen who appeared for work found
the big gates closed and barred.
Learning that strike Of the machin-
lists had been ordered for 0 o'clock the
Santa Fe officials anticipated the move
by closing down the shops here and at
every other shop town on the Santa Fe
system from Chicago to Albuquerque.
1t is estimated that nearly 10000 men
are affected. In the Topeka shops $50
machinists are employed. OF this
number about 240 are members Of the
International Association Of Machin-
lists. The others are non-union men,
| for the Santa Fe has been running
what is known as an open shop, no
distinction being made between union
and non-union. On March 20, the III
ternal Association Of Machinists SUBJ
mitted q list Of twenty rules which
they desired the Santa Fe to observe in
the management Of its machine shops.
The officials claimed that this would
be recognition Of the union and
would practically unionize the shops
and take them out from under the con-
troll of the company. 1t rejected the
demands for a contract The Santa
| Fe has sent 400 non-union machinists
| to the coast lines, and claims to have
filled all vacancies and to have no
| further need of men on that part of
the system.
In spite of the protests of the strike
leaders, it is claimed that an attempt
was made Sunday to disable two Santa
Re engines ut Arkansas City, General
Manager Nudge said;
"We are advised that some one put
emery and steel filings into two loco
motives at Arkansas City Sunday, for
the purpose Of injuring the working
parts of the machinery, 1t was dis
covered what had been done before the
engines went out and so no damage
resulted.
"This is the only attempted violence
which has been reported to u.s. There
Is no disturbances reported"
Mr.. Nudge in his statement sets
forth very clearly the reasons for the
lockout. The company was unable te
keep out the machinists and let in the
other wor1men, and for that reason
all the shops were closed, The lockout
does not affect the car shop men or thu
round house men, except at Topeka
Here the car shops and round houst
are inside the yard fence, and it wa
necessary to include everything inside
the fence in the lockout order.
The action of Mr.. Nudge is repeti
ton of like tactics during the grca
lockout several years ago, The objcc
of the lockout was then and is sup
posed now to be to protect the mel
