to Take Back Certain Former
Employees
LIST HAS BEEN PREPARED
1t Is Known Fact That the Company,
In Case Of Strike Settlement, Will
Insist That Certain Former En-
ployes Who Have Been Very Active
in Strike Will Not Be Re-employed.

General Superintendent d. c. Noon
an of the Iowa Central, spent Wednes-
day night in the city, and during his
stay here was In conference for more
than an hour with Mayor o. l.. Ingle-
due, relative to the strike situation.
When seen this morning neither Mr..
Noonan nor Mayor Ingledue was in
clined to discuss what took place at
the conference.
Certain facts. relative to the COM
pany's position regarding the strike.
have been learned. The first and most
important of these Is, that the COM
pany is firmly determined never to re-
employ certain members Of the strik-
ing unions who. have been prominent
in the disorders that have occurred
A list of these men has been prepared,
and is in the company's possession.
It is also known that the company
will never consent to settlement of
the strike unless the strikers return to
NOlh LI tbS oSCAh6S NoS3S pSAAA ~ Ss's
er roads in Iowa for similar services.
1t is declared that the company will
stand pat" on these two propositions.
May Block Settlement.
There is every prospect that this at
titude will block any possible settle
ment, which at this time is apparently
as far removed as it has ever been
since the strike began in April.
Mayor Ingledue said that he believed
one important result of his conference
with Mr.. Noonan was that the two
came to a better understanding than
they had had thru correspondence, ard
they had never met before. He Thought
that the true situation had been mis-
represented to Mr.. Noonan.
Promises Full Protection.
Mr. Noonan said that Mayor In
gledue had given him his promise that
both he and the police force, also the
local men who were deputized special
officers yesterday and today, would use
every effort to preserve order.
This Mayor Ingledue said this morn
ing was nothing new, and that he had
been ready and had been making every
effort to do so all along. He called
Mr.. Noonan's attention to the fact that
he had stood ready and willing at any
time the company desired it. to depu-
tie special officers to preserve order
and protect the company's property
and employees but, that he never had
been willing and never would place Of
fetal authority in the hands of pro-
fessional guards imported by the COM
pany.
/. According to the mayor theslocal Of
ficials of the company have been well
aware of this for weeks, but have
never taken steps to take advantage
of it until this week.
Local Men on Guard.
Yesterday and today local deputized
special officers were put on duty by
the mayor at the conlpany's expense.
in and around the company's property
and In the vicinity Of its shops. It is
probable that six of the nine men dep
utized will work at night, and three in
the day time.
The company will relieve its Inn
ported guards today and the others
will take their places.
