The Alamogordo news. (Alamogordo, N.M.) 1899-1912, 1905-08-19


Mr.. Kendrick stated that when
the committee had waited on the
officials, on or about August IA,
they gave him to understand
that they would not go out on
any sympathetic movement
whatever with any other trades
connected with the Santa Fe
system that nobody helped them
and they were for themselves,
unfortunately. He said he be-
lieved the boilermakers were
true to their statement; but, in
short time, he saw that they
were not loyal and would not tell
the truth, but on the last siege
he was prepared for all emergen-
cies. While Brothers Donohue
and Hyler were going over the
system organizing, they were
hiring men to take our places at
any time our members laid down
their tools and went out.
Il seems strange to me that
the information from this organ
izatiOn from each and every lodge
on the Santa Fe system, that the
officials know every transaction,
know all the correspondence and
everything that takes place in
the organization. You surely
must have some traitors in your
ranks, as he has word for word
for everything we send out of
this Office, every word that any
members say, all transactions of
meetings, special meetings, or
any thing pertaining to this
Brotherhood. He knows it all
up to the present date, where he
gets it is a mystery to me.
Mr.. Kendrick stated plainly
that no man that had left the
service Of the company, SO long
as he is on the Santa Fe system,
will ever procure a position on
that road, and no union man if
he knows it. ! shall never de-
clare the strike off nor be q party
to declare it off on the Santa Fe.
l want to say to the members of
the Santa Fe system that my ad.
vice is to get out and procure
ipositions in other places, as this
organization is not able and will
not maintain the numbers of men
that is on the Santa Fe system al
the present time. / do not say
that the strike is lost, but l dc
say that we want the members
to plainly understand that We
are in no position whatever *
finance this trouble in the face
of the statements that were made
to Brother Fitzgerald and my
self. The only chance that / Cal
see of ever winning this battle
is when we get the men who are
, now taking our places to leav'
| the service of the company ant
) become members of this organ
) Iization. 1t has never appeared
to me that we are getting direc
information from the subordin
{ ate lodges in regard to the con
} ditiOns Of the Santa Fe mOtiv
power. Those bulletins tina
{ we're sent out do not cOmpar
