UNION COMMITTEE
ISSUES STATEMENT
OF MEMS POSITION

The local situation remains practic-
ally unchanged in the local shops of the
Denver & Rio Grande SO far as the
strike is concerned. The company
places the number of men out at 173,
and the men estimate the number at
from 225 to $50. At the office of the
master mechanic it was said that
about a dozen applicants had asked
for work and had been given employ
ment. being sent to Thistle Junction
and Bingham Junction. None Of those
who applied for work to take the
strikers places was put into the local
service. The company says there are
no men working i'm the machine shops,
the blacksmith shops or the boiler
makers department. The master me-
chanic's Office is authority for the
statement that the car shops and
roundhOuse are running with the reg
ular force.
1t is said that trains are running on
regular schedule and there is no inter

Washington, March 1.-THE report
that the president is about to send a
special message > to congress urging
upon it's attention certain matters of
necessary legislation recommended by
the Civic Federation meets with a
positive denial at the White House.
y The fact is, the president, as already
stated in the. press, has been for the
past fortnight in consultation at in
tervals with members Of the fedora
ton, for the most part individually
and separately, but sometimes in
groups, concerning the prospect of Sc
curing legislation in the direction of
their desires before the adjournment
of the present session of congress
Bills to Be Presented.
The outcome IS expected to, be the
presentation within a few days by
Representative. Hepburn of. Iowa of
one or more bills covering the sub
tect. The president has no present in
tention of transmitting a message to
congress simultaneously with the in
PRODUCTION of these bills in the house.
He does feel deeply interested in the
success of the projected legislation.
and II at some future date it appears
he can be of assistance i'm this mat
ter he will not hesitate to address a
message to congress urging action
upon the bill or bills, but so far he has
not written one line of such communi-
cation.

SALT LAKE COMMITTEE ISSUES
STATEMENT OUTLINING POSI-
TON OF THE MEN.

Denver, Colo, March IA. o.
Warrior of ST. Louis, representing the
machinists employed on all the Gould
railroads, arrived in Denver today and
is confering with the leaders of the
shop employees of the Denfr & Rio
Grande railroad who went on strike
yesterday against the open shop and
new rules recently established by the
company. 1t is the intention OF the
unions, declare the leaders, if the Rio
Grande persists in it's present attitude
to call out every union employe in the
mechanical departments of all Gould
railroads, which include the Missouri
Pacific, St. Louis, Iron Mountain &
Southern, Texas Pacific and the
Wabash.
AT the strikers headquarters in this
city it is claimed that nearly all of the
men in the sixteen shops on the Den
yer & Rio Grande road in Colorado and
Utah have gone out. Company Off
Gals anticipate little difficulty in fill
ing the strikers places.
THE Post today says:
THE strike order of yesterday IS
liable to result in one OF the biggest in
dustrials struggles among the shop
men of the country for years, and the
only hone of Intervention is now from
George Gould. The issuance of the or
der abrogating the contracts of the
men is generally believed to have
come from the board of directors Of
the Rio Grande in New York, and the
methods of handling the men on the
part of local officials differed so from
former years that outside instructions
are believed to be behind it all.

the conference. Following these inter
views the Duke of Abruzzi asked leave
of absence from the command /of the
battleship Regina Elena. This was
granted, since which time the navy de-
partment has heard nothing of his
movements.
Inquiries made at Spezia brought the
information that the Duke of AbruzZi
left there the end of February, accom-
panied only by his valet. a man named
Galliano. II is thought at Spezia that
the duke went to Paris. Before leaV-
ing he sent one of his aides to Rome
with a letter TO the king, saying that
he would later communicate his ad-
dress to his majesty. Up to the pres
ent time he has failed to do this.
The Duke of Abruzzi, who has been
staying incognito at Augustine. Fla.
left there suddenly last night for
Washington.
Mrs stephen 3. Elkins and her
daughter. Miss Katherine Elkins, were
with him.
