STRIKE IS OFF.
After -Four Years Machinfsts and Boil
crmakers Are Working for s. f..

The strike of the machinists and
boilermakers Of the Santa Fe has end
ed. Official notice to this effect
reached Topeka from the headquarters
yesterday. All the men who were out
on the strike can return to work but
their rights as members OF the union
will not be recognized.
The strike of $50 machinists was call
ed by J. D. Buckalew May e. 1904. The
shops were closed for a few days but
gradually the Santa Fe filled up the
places of the strikers with non-union
men and the shops soon recovered and
were running full blast The boiler
makers went out in sympathy with the
machinists. A conference was ar
ranged for soon after the strike was
called between Mr.. Buckalew and H
u. Nudge, then general manager Of
the Santa Fe. Mr.. Nudge steadfastly
refused to entertain any ideas of a
compromise and as the places Of the
strikers were filled, the strikers were
left out in the cold. For four years the
strike has been on but is now almost
forgotten.
The strike was conducted without the
least semblance of violence, the union
strikers not caring to attain their ends
in this way, and the Santa Fe securing
a restraining order from the district
court.

FIGHT OVER PROHIBITION
Gen. James b. Weaver Promises Battle
for Dry Plank at Denver.

Denver, June 30.-The fight over
the anti-injunction plank in the
Democratic platform is the only strug-
gle in which the committee on resolu-
tions and possibly the convention itself
may be involved
1t has developed that the prohibi-
ton question is to be brought to the
front and that a desperate effort will
be made to have plank in its favor
placed in the platform. The prohibi-
ton movement will be headed by GEN
eral James B. Weaver of Iowa, who
demanded of the recent Democratic
convention in that state that it de-
clare in favor of prohibition. General
Weaver and his followers were not
successful in their efforts in their own
state, but nothing daunted by their
failure have made arrangements to
bring the matter up before the Demo-
cratic national convention. They
claim moreover, to have strong back
ing from a number of the southern
delegates whose states have recently
passed. prohibition laws and it is de-
clared confidently that if the Demo-
cratic national platform does not con-
tain a prohibition plank it will only
be for the reason that the hardest
kind of fighting has been unable to
secure it's adoption.
The anti-injunction plank continues
to provoke a large amount of discus

The Democratic party has always

strong anti-injunction plank in the
platform and John Mitchell for vice
president, there could no doubt about
this in the mind of any man." said he

that Mr.. Bryan would have as many
votes from Indiana without him as with
him on the ticket"
Mr. Everoad declared that the party
platform will contain a strong anti
injunction plank. This plank will be
about the same as that proposed by
President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor. Mr.
Everoad expects Mr.. Bryan to carry
Indiana.
