LIGHT AND POWER
IN CITY TONIGHT
IT Electrical Workers Walk Out
Company Says Enough Men
viii Remain.

The conference between the executive
committee of the electrical workers and
General Manager Wells OF the Utah
Light & Railway company was held
at O'Clock this afternoon. According
10 the unanimous decision of a meeting
OF the electrical workers held yester-
day, ii the company refuses TO conceda
what the workers claim 10 be their
reasonable demands, they will declare
a strike and the matter was acted
on at this meeting.
President Lynn Of the Electrical
Workers union today said that the to-
tai number OF men affected by strike
OF his craftsmen would not be more
than 80, in both Ogden and Salt Lake,
and not over $50, as stated elsewhere.
Before might 1t viii probably be def
niIely known whether or not the union
members OF the electrical workers will
60 out ON strike, in sympathy with the
street car men. Should they do so. por.
lions OF the power plants win be tied
UP and power and lights from those
sources win he unavoidable.
Though this contingency may arise,
the management Of the Utah Light and
Railway company declares that there
will be sufficient electricity obtained
from plants not unionlzed to light the
city as usual, Should. for any reason,
the various plants, fail, II Is more than
likely that the situation would be taken
advantage OF by the lawless element
and that thieving and robbery would
result.
