an additional tax OF four mills for
school purposes. The vote for the

crossing. In one instance, at least,
in addition to the voting of special
levy the principle OF consolidation
has been successfully carried out.

General Manager II. U. Nudge gave
a reporter for the Topeka State Jour-
nal a statement the other day covering
the causes and events which led up to
the present "so.called" strike Of the
boilermakers.
When the machinists of the entire
Santa Fe system went out on a strike
about a year ago." Mr.. Nudge said,
the boilermakers of the shops of the
Santa Fee coast lines went out in a
sympathetic strike.
John Mcneil was president of the
boilermakers' union at that time and
as long as Mr.. Mcneil was president
Of the organization, the executive
council of that union refused to sane
ton or recognize the strike of the
boilermakers Of the coast lines, be-
cause 1t was an illegal strike.
THE bOilermakers of the coast
lines had an agreement with the com
pany and they broke it without having
a grievance to go out in sympathy
with the machinists.
1.-TWO months g Mr.. Mcneil was
deposed from the presidency of the
union, and following that action the
strike of the coast lines boilermakers
was formally and officially recognized,
fully sever months after the time the
strike actually occurred.
Two of the coast lines strikers,
f. r. Kylyer and T. J. Donahue,
were at that time appointed as organ
izers TO work among the men employ
ed in the boiler shop departments of
the various shops on the Santa Fe
proper between Chicago and A%ltnlquer-
que.
These organizers were to continue
their work of organizing the men at
the various points for a period of sixty
days. with the understanding that If
at the end of that period it was
thought the men were sufficiently well
lined up the strike would be called.
'The officials of the railroad COM
pany have been fully aware of these
moves and have also known that 1t
was not intended to organize the men
for the purpose of calling a conference
to consider any grievance, but that
was for the ayowed purpose of get
ting the men ready to be called Out
regardless of any circumstances.
up to that time the Santa Fe com
pany had paid no attention 10 the
subject of whether the men employed
were union or non-union men. The
ompan had shown no discrimination
against employing a man on the
ground that he belonged to the union.
But when we saw the tactics that
were being used to cause a strike or
the men on the east end in sympathy
with the hoilermakers who are out OF
the west end, we then took steps to
weed out those who were not desired
and to protect the interests of the
company.
