The machinists' strike on the
Santa Fe was officially declared off
by the union on August 31st. The
circular which emanated from union
headquarters saws: "All strikes that
have been on for period of three
months or more. with no chance Of
All immediate settlement, will be
declared off on August 25th, and the
Santa Fe strike will be declared of
on August 3lst." The boilermakers
strike was declared off during the
month of June.
Both union boilermakers and
union machinists have made appica-
ton for employment in the local
shops. but it is not known yet defin-
itely what policy will be pursued by
the railroad company. Men who
went out on the strike may be re-
employed and they may not. all that
is known definitely is the fact that
none of the strikers have as yet been
re-employed. although several have
made application for reinstatement.
The machinists' strike has been on
since May. 1903. and as usual in such
cases both the railroad company and
the strikers have suffered and exper.
enced much Inconvenience to no
good purpose. 1t is reported that
the Santa Fe has been advertising IN

boilermakers and machinists for i'm

also decided upon the appointment
of Vernon Porter, son of Judge Por-

Alexandria is now on a second

ance agents have received instruc-
tions from their companies to write
insurance in future ON this basis.
This means a big reduction in the
rate of insurance all over the city.
and consequent saving to the in

by the improvements to the city fire.
