"There is nothing to this talk of a strike
among Hartman boilermakers. at least
on the Union Pacific" said a prominent
official of one of the shop unions. For
certain reasons union boilermakers could
not strike on this road and there is no
agitation OF such a thing. Some days ago
boilermakers on the Southern Pacific had
a conference with the company officials
over the abolition Of the physical examina-

differences amicably. No, everything is
