Boilermakers in Katy Shops Strike
Closed Indefinitely

Dennison. Tex, April 3o.-A
notice posted in the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas shops announced
that effective Monday, May ?, the
motive department Of the shops
will be closed down indefinitely.
An official Of the company stated
tllis morning that the closing Of
the shops is due to the boilermak-
ers strike.
At noon on Thursday, April Fl,
the boilermaker' went on strike.
The shops have continued 20 run
full force, but the work has now
caught up with the boilermakers
work and nothing can be done until
operations are resumed in the boil
er shops. Eighty per cent. of the
shop force will be laid of Monday
a few men can be kept at work for
perhaps a week longer. BY the 9th
Of May the work will be up and
the entire shop force will be out Of
employment. The closing Of the
motive department Of the shops
means a loss Of revenue TO the city
Of from $500 to 5000 day. About
$Ies Of this amount is paid out in
the boiler shops, where the strike
originated.
The direct cause Of the strike, as
given by the boilermakers, is as
follows: H. McNellis, boiler
maker, asked for leave Of absence
for ten days and remained away
from his work for twenty-eight
days without notifying the fore
man Of the boiler shops. When he
returned the foreman declined TO
put him back to work. The mat
ter was taken up with Master Me
chanic McElvaney Of the boiler
maker S Union, Mr.. McElvaney
sustained the foreman and on
Thursday, April 7r, four hours
ultimatum was given by the Boiler
MAKERS S Union, which the master
mechanic did not accept, and the
men went out on astrike. Tues
day the men were given an oppor-
tunity to send a committee to Par
sons to confer with the superin-
tendent Of motive power, William
Herrin, with a view to adjusting
their differences, but the union de-
clined to send the committe. There
IS au agreement between the Union
and the Company to refer all griev-
ances that might arise TO confer
ence between the Katy superin-
tendent of motive power, the mas
ter mechanic and a committe from
the union.

Shops Closed
For an Indefinite Period by an Or
der from Headquarters.

The big smoke stack at the Rock
Island shops sent forth no smoke
today for the first time in months.
To the surprise of everyone, the
shops closed Saturday afternoon at
FIVE O'Clock and notice was given
out that they would remain closed
till further orders.
There has been much specula-
ton current as TO the cause Of the
shut down. Everyone has some
opinion to. express about it, but
itmay be authoritatively stated that
the exact cause isnot known to
anyone in Chickasha. We give
this upon information received
from absolutely reliable sources.
Nothing is known as to how long
the shops will be closed. The
EXPRESS is promised information
on these points as soon as 1t Is
obtainable.
All Of the shop force and part Of
the round house men are out. It
is understood that some Of the men
were asking for increased wages
but accurate information is lacking
npon this point.
1t is to the highest interests that
the shops be in operation. Our
commercial club should lose no
TING in taking the matter up. #
there is anything that we can do
toward the adjustment Of what
ever difficulties may exist, it
should be done promptly.

ADVANTAGES OF
ELECTRIC LIGHTS

are so apparent that we are almost
ashamed TO talk about them. They
stick right out like the nose of your
face, but, as Marcus Aurelius
might have said, if he had thought
of it, "If man blow not his own
horn, the same it shall not be
blowed." And our office boy says
he'll be blowed if he can see why
we should hide our light under a
half bushel.
Ro to save argument we are will
ing to admit that there is no light
that even approaches the electric
light in quantity of light radiated
all around the room,
The quality OF the light you can
see for yourself. Electric lights
give strong, clear, vivid write
light. That is what is demanded
today, pure, white light and plenty
of it.
If our points are not clear to you
it is undoubtedly due to the fact
that yonr light is poor. If you
will put in full equipment of cleo
trio lighes the whole subject will be
made beautifully luminous and we
will have. peace in the family.
