SPARKS, Feb. 12.-At two o'clock
the machinists employed in the local
shops held a conference and decided
to lay down their tools and walk out
of the establishment. This action
was not n hasty one but follows a
series Of conferences between repre-

railroad officials for the settlement of
local grievances, extending over n
period Of thirty days.
One OF the causes of the action OF
the macainists was the summary dis
missal of two men Joseph and New

who were discharged about month

conferences held after the discharge
of these two men. at which the com

company agreed to reemploy cae
men but not to reinstate them. Ac

the company and th9local union,
reinstatement carries with it full pay
for all the time lost whilN the cases
are under consideration before the
men are put back towork.
