MAC 4iNIsTs ON ALL THE GOULD
ROADS TO GO OUT.
Unions Vote to Strike In Sympathy
With Denver q Rio orande
Men.

Denver, Col, Aug. 20.-Ofacial an
nouncement was made here Wednes-
day that the vote OF machinistS on all
the Gould railroads on the question OF
going on strike in sympathy with the
Denver & Rio Grande machinists who
have been out on strike several
months has been completed and has
resulted in giving the executive Of
ficers Of the union authority to call q
general strike. However, 1t is added,
a strike will not be called immediate
" but further efforts will be made to
settle the Denver G Rio Grande strike
peaceably without resorting to ex-
trene measures.
Advices were received Wednesday
by William Hannah, vice president OF
the International Association of Ma
chinists, from James O'Connell, pres
ident Of that organization, giving the
results of the strike vote which was
taken on the Missouri Pacific, the
Wabash, the Texas & Pacific, the st.
Louis Iron Mountain & Southern, and
the other Gould roads. Mr.. Hannah
gave out the following statement:
"The machinists on the Missouri
Pacific voted almost unanimously to,
strike, and on the Texas & Pacific
and the Wabash the vote was between
65 and 10 per cent in favor of strike.
The balance opposed It. Our interna-
tional president advises me that we
have the required per cent to order
the men out.
president O'Connell has written
me that from the interview he had
with Vice President Schlacks In July,
when be was In Denver, he feels that
the differences which exist between
the Denver & Rio Grande and It's me-
chanics when slfted down are found
to be of q trinIng nature. and he feels
that we can get together and settle
this trouble out here without calling
more strikes on other roads"
