The trouble at the rolling mills,
which began yesterday morning when
two of the heaters at the furnaces OF
the little mill refused to go to work,
and two other men employed left the
service of the company, has reached
Omaha, in reports to General Manager
Mohler of the Union Pacific. These
reports, it is understood, covered the
ground thoroughly, giving the cause OIL
the trouble, the m of the men and
the fact hat the refusal of the two
Baillie brothers, George Skogerson and
Axel Bloom to work had caused a.
shutting down of the little mill.
At noon today Mayor Mckee receiv-
ed the following telegram from Mr..
Mohler, and a special meeting of the
council was held, when the telegram
was read n a reply formulated.
Telegram From General Manager.
Omaha, Neb., May II, 1906.
To the Mayor of the City of Laramie:
At the urgent solicitation of your
citizens, we reopened the rolling mills
at Laramie. Mr.. Mckeen received
contracts from the men on their own
basis, which they now refuse to work
under, after the mill is hardly fairly
started. | DO not know how your cltl-
zens feel toward this project at TINS
time, but | am rather under the I'M
preston that the necessity may soon
arise that the mill will have to be
closed and abandoned. We car buy
our material just as cheaply in the
open market, but we prefer, If pos
sible. to aid in an industrial way the
cities along our W line.
The trouble does not appear to be
between the company and the men,
but is apparently caused by outside in
~luences working through some of your
citizens. (Signed) A. L. MoHLER.
Special Meeting Held.
"A special meeting of the council was
held at the office of Mayor Mckee, in
the Interstate Townsite building, at .
O'Clock this afternoon, with the mayor,
the city attorney and all the members
of the council present, when the fol
lowing reply to the telegram was for
mulated, signed by the mayor and
members of the council and then cir
culated among the business men of the
city for their signatures. A copy VIII

zens, will be forwarded by mail later:

glee and mandolin clubs, as pianist,
and Miss Thyra Thirkeldsen as violin

numbers, Misses Lee, Frazee and Mcln'
tosh rendered an instrumental trio, and
the mandolin club rendered numbers
both instrumental and vocal and ended
