CLOSING ORDER IS POSTED IN SHOPS
Until March 2, 200 Men Employed
in Salt Lake City by the Rio
Grande Are Laid Off,
Why 1t is Done.

| The Salt Lake Herald of yesterday
morning announces:
Two hundred men employed as
machinists, blacksmiths, boilermak-
ers, helpers and assistants in the Rio
Grande shops in Salt Lake have been
laid off until March 2. Notice to
this effect, bearing the date of Feb
ruary IA, is posted on the Office door
of the shops. The notice is signed
| by G. H. Cairns. 1t states that only
the men actually needed to keep the
trains running will be employed from
now until March 2, these men to be
designated by the foreman of the
different departments.
The original notice posted up read
| that the shops would be closed on
| February IA and Is; but yesterday
| this notice was replaced by the other
one, closing the shops until March
2. No reason was given for closing
down the shops. At the master me-
chanic's office it was given out that
this was the order from the superin-
tendent of motive power at Denver.
The closing down of the Salt Lake
shops is probably part of the gem
eral policy of retrenchment that the
Rio Grande is at present pursuing.
At Salida and Grand Junction or
ders were posted yesterday to the
effect that the men in the shops at
those two points would work only
three days week until further no.
tice. This notice has caused a great
deal of discussion at these places and
may result in strikes. The men main
tain that the company has broken an
agreement entered into a short time
ago, whereby the men were to work
five days q week.
Ten Japs Retained.
At the Salt Lake shops yesterday
there were less than ten white men
working and ten Japs. The Japs do
not come under the head of the
shopmen, but are employed unload
ing and sorting material for the
shops. Several white men who have
been laid off were about the shops
yesterday and were bitter in their
denunciation of the railroad COM
pany for retaining the Japs and lay
ing off the white men.
No action will be taken by the To-
cal unions affected relative to the
difference with the railroad COM
pany until they are advised by the
international officers of the unions,
who have been notified of the action
taken. The shutdown of the shops,
following closely the order abrogat-
ing the agreement with the men on
March IA, is taken by the men to
mean that when the shops reopen
the wages of the men will be cut and
that union and non-union men will
be employed without preference.
Vice President C. H. Schlacks said
yesterday that he knew nothing of
the order to close the shops or of
the order abrogating the agreement
with the men. He said that the or
ders were probably issued by Mr..
Purves, under whose department the
matter would properly come.

ing for Denver. reaching there Fri

from Miss Florence Green.
This telegraphic courtship culmin
ated in the marriage of these two
young people in the study of Rev.
William Bayard Craig at the Central
Christian church, Denver, Saturday
at noon.
The ceremony was the climax of a
romance that began some months ago
at Poplar Bluffs, Mo-, the home of
the bride.
1--WE met for the first time several
months ago at dance in Poplar" +"
said Mr.. MacKinnon at the Albany
hotel Saturday. st was a case of
love at first sight, apparently. on
both sides. / was loath to leave
without her, but it was too sudden
to ask her to go with me then; in
fact, she would not consent to be en-
gagged to me until ten days ago, when
l went back to Poplar Bluffs. The
date of our marriage was not even
set.
"Well, l came on out West-got
very, very lonesome at Grand juno
ton Tuesday, and the wire to Miss
Green was the result. She came
back with the answer, and then
knew everything was all right"
Miss Green, accompanied by her
mother, Mrs. John Green, was at the
Albany when Mr.. MacKinnon arriv-
ed. Mr.. Brown, clerk at the hotel
and an old friend of the groom, was
in readiness with the license, and all
went to DR.. Craig's study. where the
knot was tied.
The bride and groom left for Col
orado Springs, where they will spend
few days, and then proceed to San
Francisco on an extended honeymoon
trip.
