Conference in Ogden.
The conference at Ogden was attended
by Fred b. Jones and W. Winters of the
Independent company and a committee
representing the men consisting of NJ. j.
Sullivan, international vice president; r.
J. Currie district president; w. F. Ram
sey and other officials of the organiza-
ton.
The representatives of the company in
formed the men that a large quantity of
material had been ordered and is now in
course of transportation. and that when
it arrives many additional linemen, will
be given work. Meanwhile, the linemen
who have been out locally on the indie
pendent plant will return to work this
morning.
There was a report yesterday that the
men who had taken the places of the
strikers in the Independent company's
service and who are now at work had
been, or would be. summarily dismissed.
This is said to be not true; the statement
is made that so long as they prove them
selves competent they will be retained in
the cOmpany's service.
