ALL THE GOULD LINES
MAY BE AFFECTED
Vice President of Machinists Believes
Men in Transportation Service
Will Go Out.

SALT LAKE, April Unless
the conference in New York between
our representatives and, Mr.. Gould
bears fruit, it is my opinion that the
men in the transportation service on
the so-called Gold lines will come out
in sympathy, and that there Will be
a general tie-up of traffic on these
systems"
In substance, these are the words
of w, ]. Harmon, sixth vice president
of the International Machinists un-
ion of America, who has been as
signed to the western country to in
yestiSate the strike on the Rio
Grande, in which the shopmen are
involved.
"If the crisis comes, which sin
cerely hope it will not" continued
Mr.. Harmon, ''it would involve the
Missouri Pacific, the Texas & Pa
cific. the Cotton Belt and other lines,
involving approximately $4,000 miles
of road, and besides the 1000 or 81
900 men in our organization directly
affected, between $4,000 and 10000
men in the transportation depart
ments. Conductors, engineers, fires
men, trainmen, switchmen, machin-
list, boilermakers, blacksmiths and
helpers would be called out. lnclud-
ing the helpers, we figure that IL
unions would affected.
"The last officials advices had
from New York is that the presidents
of the three organizations already af-
fected by the strike-James O'Con-
nell of the machinists. j. Dunn OF
the boilermakers and F. j. Kline of
the blacksmiths-had conference
with George Gould in New York on
Thursday. understand that Mr..
Gould sent a personal representative
to Denver to gather information and
to study conditions, but as ! have
not been in Denver for some days,
do not know what has been DONE" "

busy giving connections all day. The
favorite telephone hoax was to put

looking up something have the other

would require hours of writing and
much space to tell even a portion
of the jokes played Suffice it to
say that while April was ushered in
with hilarity there are few who were
sorry when the day of hoaxes was
over.

If the author OF this book had been indiscreet

Instead of that-being a clever author-she
winds up the excursion in such wise that poor

story. On the contrary. Miss Hamilton pursues
