This action strengthens the state
ment made by the Santa Fe officials at
the beginning of the trouble that those
OF the m;.chinists who joined the
strikers would be out for al time to
come.
New men have been put to work in
the places of the machinists and re-
ports from the shops showed that the
company had 164 at work and lacked
only Is of having as many men in the
machine shops as it had before the
strike was called.
The strikers are still confident of
winning and base their theory upon
the supposition that the machinists
the Santa Fe are hiring are inferior
workmen and will not hold their jobs
long.
The Santa Fe officials, however, say
the men are proving to be frstclass
workmen. Alfred Lowell, superin-
tendent of motive power, stated that
the new men were even better work
out. He also stated that within few
days the company would have a full
force of men in the machine shops,
both in Topeka and at other points
over the system affected by the strike.
There are still rumors that the boil
ermakers will walk out, but the rail
road company seems to know nothing
of the facts of the matter and the boil
ermaIers say nothing. Mr.. Lowell
stated that he did know whether or not
the boilermal1ers were thinking of
striking but that if they wished to
hold their jobs they had better stay at
work. Many of the machinists think
the boilermakers will walk out when
Mr.. Bucl1alew returns. He stated en-
phatically before he left the city, how
ever. that if they walked out it would
be of their own accord and not of his
asking. He intimated that thew
would be called out in the Santa Fe
shops as far east as La Juuta.
