The
New
r.
-.e Up
Today Fifteen Hundred Macns and Other Employees the Denver
Rio Grand Quit Work. Refusing to Accept the New Order
Of 7hngs-Srke May Spread Over Entire Gould System
"A Long and Bitter Struggle Seems Certain

This morning at o'clock the new
rules prepared by the Denver & Rio
Grande for the regulations of its ma
chine shops were posted In the local
shops, and at the same time were
posted at all of the other shop cen
ters on the system.
The rules were read with great in
terest by the shop men, as many of
them were not certain just what all
of the provisions would be. The
above is a correct and full copy of
the new rules posted this morning.
The shop men checked in as US
ual and things at the local shops
moved along smoothly until shortly
after 10 am. when the 13 machin-
lists employed in the shops quit work
and walked out on a strike.
The action of the machinists was
not unexpected by the company, al
though these men had declined to
say whether or not they would strike.
None of the machinists' helpers or
apprentices quit work.
None of the few boilermakers and
boilermakers' helpers employed in
the shops at this time quit work.
All of the car repairers remained
on duty.
l0eTe HAS Detu 10 lTOuUle Ol any
kind at the shops today. The men
who quit walked out quietly and
made no effort to create disturb
ance.
The strike of the machinists,
which is general all over the system,
will naturally cripple the service to
some extent.
1t will be seen that the new rules
in no way recognize any union of the
laboring men, and it is for this rea-
son that there is much dissatisfaction
among the men.
All day today there have been lit
tie bands of railroad men on the
streets discussing the strike The 13
striking machinists seem confident
that their fight will be winning
one.
Reports from Salida, Salt Lake
City and other points indicate that
the walking out of the men was ac-
companied by no disturbances of any
kind. The men are disposed to be
orderly. They believe that they are
right in their contention.
The railroad management express
es determination tc hold out to the
bitter end and TO make no further
concessions. A long and bitter
struggle seems just ahead.
| Both the machinists and the boil
ermakers have great strike funds.

Denver. Mar. 16.-At 10 am. L.
500 machinists, boilermakers and
members of the kindred trades work
ing in the Denver & Rio Grande
shops struck, after final conference
at which the railroad refused to
make any concessions.
"The strike will ultimately spread
to every road of the Gould system
and affect roads all over the United
States.'' said w. ]. McQueeney, rep
resenting the machinists's national
organization. There is every indica-

The strike was the result of an
