 About three or four hundred men are involved in the strike and the lines to which the strike order applies are, Nor. gen's Louisiana and Texas, the Iberia and Vermillion, the Loufsiana and Wes- torn, the Texas and New Orleans and the Galveston, Harrisburg ana San An- tonic. These lines extend from New Or- leans to Fl Pasos twenty eight branches reaching several important by oints in the two states named.
 The trouble has been in incubation ever since the Southern Pacific com pany. according to. the fIremen, abro- gated the agreement with them several months ago by signing in agreement with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers which terminated the privi- lege of the firemen to regulate the sem Ority list of switch engineers and to represent engineer member of the flre- mems brotherhood on grievance com mittees.
 A large rerceBtage of firemen becom- ing engineers maintain their member ship and insurance In the firemen's or- ganization instead of joining the engt- neer,s brotherhood, and this fact seems to be at the bottom of the present trou- ble, notwithstanding the specific decla- ration of the firemRn that their griev- ance Is against the company and not abainst the Brothe~hood of Locomotive Engineers.
